Many other details are being kept quiet in Pixie Hollow, however it has been noted that the movie will also tell 'the story you didn't know,' similar to Disney's 'Maleficent' that starred Angelina Jolie in 2014.
The once non-speaking, minor, and sassy fairy character from J.M. Barrie's 'Peter Pan' story and later Disney's 1953 animated classic, Tinker Bell was was Pan's companion who was portrayed as temperamental and as someone who became dangerously jealous due to her unrequited love for the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up. However, over the past few years, Disney has given Tinker Bell a voice, which has enabled to tell her own story in a line of cinematic and straight-to-DVD tales.
Oscar nominee Witherspoon can currently be seen on the big screen in HOT PURSUIT. She recently starred in INHERENT VICE, THE GOOD LIE, WILD, DEVIL'S KNOT, MUD, WATER FOR ELEPHANTS and more.
