A Q&A with “TinkerBell” Filmmakers
BY KEVIN CARR
After being shut down in June of 2007, the “TinkerBell” movie is back in gear. After showing advanced clips of the film to press in February 2008, producer Jeannine Russo and director Brad Raymond were on hand to answer some questions about the film.

The press gets a sneak peek at the new “TinkerBell” movie, and some explanation of what happened behind the scenes

The “TinkerBell” movie was in full swing, and the studio was even dropping ads on the head of some of their DVDs. However, when Disney acquired Pixar, “Toy Story” director John Lasseter was put in charge of the new animation department. After looking at the already in-progress project, Lasseter shut it down. The official word is that he didn’t feel the story was up to snuff.
