This article needs an image (preferably free) related to the subject, such as a picture of the set or a film poster. A possibility for American films from before 1964 would be a screenshot from the trailer, as these are now in the public domain. Please make sure fair use is properly observed, or the image will be removed. See WP:Films MOS for image guidelines and assistance in uploading.

A plot summary needs to be added to this film article, or the current one needs to be expanded.

[edit] Film credit verification

IMDB.com credits Mae Whitman as the voice of Tinker Bell, not Brittany Murphy.

Does anyone have any info on if Brittany Murphy has been replaced or not, I have not heard information on that and IMDb isn't always the most reliable source. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.72.77.223 (talk) 04:15, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oddly placed

I think this paragraph:

"Because of the controversies surrounding Tinker Bell, Disney has announced that no more straight-to-DVD sequels will be produced with The Little Mermaid III being the last one.[7] Although they have proven to be big money-makers for Disney and also very popular with their target demographic (children and their parents), the straight-to-DVD sequels have received a lot of backlash. Critics and purists have branded them "cheapquels" with many claiming that they are inferior and unnecessary. Some, John Lasseter included, have expressed disgust and feel that Disney has become more concerned with making a quick buck rather than maintaining the integrity of their earlier classics."

Doesn't belong in this article. Maybe an article on cheapquels themselves is called for. In spite of the claim in the first sentence it isn't clear how cheapquels relate to the topic of the article.--MTHarden 22:40, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sequals

Is it true that there will be 3 DTV sequals to this film? Disney annoced that this and TLM 3 were to be the last sequals.So why are they continuing this film if they can't make more "cheapquals"?65.0.181.111 (talk) 16:42, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm afraid that it is true. There is a press release with proof. - Jasonbres (talk) 17:06, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Well,if it is then why did they say this was their last sequal?And will there be more sequals like Jungle Book 2 & Return to Neverland? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.0.181.111 (talk) 21:28, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Technically, this isn't a sequel. It's a spinoff. At the time, they were considering Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning to be their last sequel, but I'm guessing that after the last Tinker Bell sequel, Cars 2 and Toy Story 3, there won't be any sequels unless there is demand for sequels by the general public. - Jasonbres (talk) 21:51, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

The main question has been whether Disney would make cheap direct to video sequels for theatrical feature films. There's less opposition within the company to sequels that are "done right" (i.e. a good story, full production budget, theatrical release, etc). The fact that they've already spent so much money on this one is probably why it's being finished made... and later sequels to a movie that's only released on DVD in the first place (like this one) don't upset the sequel-haters the same way. As for what will actually happen... it's not appropriate to speculate here. - JasonAQuest (talk) 12:50, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Removal of "needs infobox" tag

This article has had its infobox tag removed by a cleanup using AWB. Any concerns please leave me a message at my talk page. RWardy 19:38, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:12822 tinkerbell.JPG

Image:12822 tinkerbell.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
