This quote made me laugh: “The new image is butch and silly. Moreover, it’s not that different from Peter Pan.”

Um. Peter Pan isn’t exactly what I would call “butch”. Lol!

This is probably the dumbest thing I have ever read.
Tinkerbell’s signature look will ALWAYS be her tiny green dress. Just because she has on clothes for ONE MOVIE, doesn’t mean she’s become “butch”. God forbid she wears pants for once! That MUST mean she’s become a man!
Honestly. I got nothing from reading this.

Thanks for wasting everyone’s time, Debbie Schlussel, whoever the hell you are.

just cuz she’s wearing differnt clothes, doesnt mean she’s a different character. have you SEEN the movie? she’s the same adventure-seeking, overly jelous, yet still amusing and lovable character she was in PP, but with a slightly different waredrobe. GIRLS CAN WEAR PANTS!! ITS NORMAL!! what if you had a daoughter who grew up wearing skirts and dresses all her life, then suddenly decided she wanted pants? would you calll her “butch,” or would you just buy the pants? its not big deal, plus, pants make more sense for an adventure than a skimpy dress, dont you think?

wow, i think tinkerbell still looks feminine and sticks with Disney’s story line of her being Peter’s assistant. Women and girls who are fully dressed and not wearing theatrical makeup are beautiful too. and women who are gay are human beings and deserve respect. but i am with ya on the Paris Hilton thing, talentless and dumb!

you are totally inconsiderate. just because disney chooses to cover up their characters doesn’t make them butch! tinker doesn’t even look like a dude!

WOW! First Tinkerbell is not a nymph shes a fairy. There’s a big difference. Next those don’t even look like pants they look like tights. And as far as not being weather dependent, sure a cartoon character wouldn’t be, but the viewers needs to relate to her and it makes more sense to wear more than one outfit. I don’t know about you but I don’t wear the same clothes everyday. And I have to point out that in the Peter Pan movies she never had a magic wand because she didn’t need one and she still doesn’t need one. They only gave her the wand for the Disney intro. I’m not sure you really know what butch is because there’s no way someone could mistake Tinkerbell, even in “pants”, for a guy.

Anyone who would really believe this trash has to be someone who wears tiny miniskirts, tight tops with way to much cleavage, and 5 in heels everyday. Weather their gardening, jogging, washing the car, or just visiting the in-laws.

1950’s mentality for sure.

To be honest you look like a butch yourself, your biker mama leather vest for example.

“Disney said it wanted to give “Tink” a tomboyish look.”Is that to appeal to a larger demographic, or to allow a blurring of the character to mimic the society we are confronted with? Feminize the men, encourage the women to become more masculine. Remember who played Peter Pan those years ago on Broadway, Mary Martin?
Just what is a “50’s” mentality? What does that imply?

Dad on December 7, 2011 at 12:08 pm

Honestly I think the new look makes her much cuter than before. Tomboyish does not mean looks like a boy, but rather means wears similar styles to male fashion, and takes on activities stereotypically considered boyish. Adventuring would fall under this category, and so would adventuring appropriate attire. Honestly the only reason you didn’t see a lot more than a G ratting would allow of her is clever camera angles. Yes in animation it is still a camera angle for those thinking “what camera”

Wow this post kind of came out of nowhere–internet and pop culture speaking. Here I’ve been reading all kinds of posts about the sexualisation of little girls; outrage over the sexying up of the princess in Brave, and the new teenage “Dora” look; artist’s renditions of female Marvel superheros wearing actually practical superhero clothes like their male counterparts; famous comedians posing in the ridiculous poses they put women in; etc. You name it, I’ve seen it ALL over the place. I didn’t realize there were people out there who would actually act appalled at the DE-sexualisation of a children’s cartoon character. This post is SO left-field. Who are you??? My assumption was that this look was strictly for the second half of the new Tinkerbell movie–you know, to change it up a bit. I HOPE what you’re suggesting is right, and they transition to this look permanently. Honestly, not even in Tinkerbell’s fairy world is there a more painted on dress than hers!

Obviously this person has never seen this or any of the other Disney Fairies movies. Tink wears her trade mark strapless mini for a good portion of the movie. The only time she wears this (or something similar) is when she goes into colder weather (movie with her sister). And as previous commenters stated, in a world where everyone is trying to sexualize little girls why would you complain about this?
