I have not seen Disney’s new TinkerBell movie. But, I have seen Peter Pan, and I am not a fan of TinkerBell.  I always thought she had a bad attitude (not to mention the skimpy costume). So, I was a little perturbed when my sweet girl decided (months ago!) that she wanted to be TinkerBell this year…Â
I tried – unsuccessfully – to steer her toward several other possibilities…specifically costumes that we already had on hand. I really thought I was getting somewhere with the whole Sleeping Beauty idea (her current favorite movie). But, no. Her little mind was made up!
Once I finally realized that Hannah’s only knowledge of TinkerBell came from the very beginning of any Disney movie, when TinkerBell flits in and lights up the castle/logo, I began to warm up to the idea. What little girl doesn’t like sparkles and fairies?! I know that her costume choice in no way reflects a desire to emulate Tink’s bad attitude.  So, I gave in (and modified the costume a bit to keep it modest…and warm). And, even I have to admit, she makes a pretty cute TinkerBell:
