Occasionally, “Mandela Effects” (or “MEs”) and MMDEs were easily explained misunderstandings, often involving somewhat lesser-known facts. Others were both more popular and more confusing, with some even involving hit films:

In the 2003 film Peter Pan, P.J. Hogan originally planned to use a computer-generated version of the character, but instead used Ludivine Sagnier in combination with digital models and effects to take advantage of the actress's expressions. When the Disney Princess franchise was created in the early 2000s Tinker Bell was also part of the original line-up, but she was soon removed along with Esmeralda as it was decided that they didn't suit in the brand. [13] [14] Leading to the creation of the Disney Fairies was created in 2006, and build around Tinker bell expands substantially upon the limited information the author gave about the fairies and their home of Never Land. The 1953 animated version of Tinker Bell never actually used a wand. In the picture and the official Disney Character Archives, she is referred to as a pixie.In 2015, it was announced that Tink, a live-action film featuring the character, with Reese Witherspoon playing Tinker Bell and Victoria Strouse writing the script, was in development. [8] In 2021, the project re-entered development as a part of Gary Marsh's overall deal with Disney. [9] Witherspoon is still attached to the project as a producer and Maria Melnik ( Escape Room) was hired to rewrite the script. [10] Disney Parks [ edit ]

One thing led to another, and I discovered a large community of people who remember the same Mandela history that I recall. On the first of those three posts, one commenter describes their decades-old memories of Tinkerbell “dotting the i” in Disney: In 2009, a waxwork of Tinker Bell (the museum's "smallest figure of all time" at five and a half inches) was created at Madame Tussauds, London. [8] At Disneyland [ edit ] There is a myth that the original animated version of Tinker Bell was modelled after Marilyn Monroe. However, Disney animator Marc Davis's primary reference was Margaret Kerry. [3] [4] He illustrated Tinker Bell as an attractive, blonde blue-eyed young white female, with an exaggerated hourglass figure. She is dressed in a bright green strapless dress and wears green slippers with white puffs. A trail of pixie dust follows her when she moves. As of September 1 2020, more than a hundred thousand readers had shared the post; many commented to say they remembered the same introduction, in which Tinkerbell dots the “i” in “Disney” with her wand, or taps it repeatedly to get it to work. Often, commenters expressed discomfort or difficulty with the concept that the Tinkerbell intro had never existed.Compilation of the clips that have likely lead people to perceive a “Mandela Effect” for Tinkerbell’s Disney intros. LOTS of people (myself included!) remember Tinkerbell writing the logo, and even dotting the “i” in Disney. But are we just combining the different scenes in our heads? The Mandela Effect could truly exist, but this one just seems like a mixed bag of childhood memories. What do you think? Clayton appeared to have taken a screenshot of her own flagged post, commenting “Hmmmmmmmmm…….” alongside the image. In the screenshot, the original poster (Jere Le Bat) also included a SoundCloud link, which many commenters speculated was the cause of the post’s removal (that is, spamming users by promoting a personal endeavor via a viral, unrelated post.) I’ve never seen those old clips. I’m too young, but I remember her flying around and dotting the i on the blue intro.” Four people individually played Tinkerbell at Disneyland California from 1961 to 2005. At Walt Disney World in Florida and Disneyland after 2005, there were multiple alternate people playing the role.
