For All Those Who Still Believe in Fairies: 'Tinkerbell' on DVD
Filed under: Animation », Sci-Fi & Fantasy », New Releases », Disney », Family Films », Movie Marketing », Remakes and Sequels », Trailers and Clips »
All children, except one, grow up -- but hopefully none of them become so cynical as to lose their belief in fairies. For those who still believe, or who might need a refresher course, Disney is releasing Tinkerbell to DVD and Blu-Ray on October 28th. It's Tinkerbell's first solo film, and the first time she will actually speak onscreen. Considering that she now boasts her own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it's about time she gets to headline her own movie. At last, Tinkerbell fans (and there are a lot of them!) will find out her origin, her specialty as a tinker fairy, and learn about her hometown of Pixie Hollow, the home of Disney's Fairies. Tinkerbell is the big debut of Disney's Fairies, and they will undoubtedly become a sparkly obsession to rival the Disney Princesses. By next Halloween, you might be seing fewer ballgowns, and more wings and leaf-based dresses. Very ecological!
The movie looks pretty charming, and the animation is quite lovely -- I'm hypnotized by the leaves and the sparkles of Queen Clarion's dress. And it boasts a very talented cast: Angelica Huston, America Ferrera, Jane Horrocks, Kristen Chenoweth, Lucy Liu, and Kathy Najimy are among the actresses who lent their voices to the fairy cast. Angelica Huston, people. If she can admit she believes in fairies, then the rest of us can too.
You can visit the official site to check out the trailer and the first six minutes of the film. There's plenty of girly goodies to be found -- you can make your own fairy, explore Pixie Hollow, meet its pixie inhabitants, and much more. If you have a young daughter, niece, little sister, or are stuck babysitting, just call this site up. You'll be extremely popular for the day, especially if you're a good sport and find out which fairy you are. (I'm Fawn, and I'm not afraid to admit it.)
Knowing Tinkerbell's popularity with big and little girls alike (have you ever seen the amount of merchandise she has?), I'm sure this is only the first of many movies to come -- keeping us all children a little longer.

Spacek and Steenburgen Join 'Four Christmases'
Filed under: Comedy », Casting », New Line »
It must be a lot of fun casting veteran actors as parents of current stars. Thanks to past casting decisions we got to see Sean Connery play Harrison Ford's father, Barbara Streisand and Dustin Hoffman play Ben Stiller's mom and dad, and Keith Richards (wait, he's not a veteran actor) as Johnny Depp's pirate papa. Now, somewhat similar to the parental stunt-casting of the Meet the Parents movies, we're getting some interesting casting choices for the roles of both Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn's parents in next holiday season's Four Christmases. It's a comedy about a married couple attempting to visit with all four of their parents -- who are all divorced and live in four different locations -- on Christmas Day. We've already learned Robert Duvall is one of the fathers (now we find out he's playing Vaughn's). Now, according to the Hollywood Reporter, Oscar-winning actresses Sissy Spacek and Mary Steenburgen are hopping on board as the moms. Can you imagine which one goes with which of the movie's leads? Immediately I thought "Loretta Lynn" should be mom to "June Carter" and tall(er) "Clara Clayton" should be mom to super-tall "Fred Claus". Alas, the casting went the other way: "Carrie" is the mother of "Norman Bates" and "Hannah Nixon" is the mother of "Tracy Flick". To be more specific, "Spacek will play the slightly spacey, New Age mother of Brad (Vaughn). Steenburgen will play the chameleonlike mother of Kate (Witherspoon), whose personality changes depending on whom she's married to or dating." We still don't know which Academy Award winning actor (he has to have an Oscar, like the other parents) will play Witherspoon's dad -- may I suggest Chris Cooper? or Alan Arkin? The only other role cast is the part of Witherspoon's "controlling, type-A sister", to be played by Kristen Chenoweth.
