Tinker Bell (also nicknamed Tink or Miss Bell) is the tritagonist of Disney's 1953 animated feature film, Peter Pan. She is a sassy fairy, who is the sidekick of the title character and regularly joins him on his exploits throughout the magical isle of Neverland. In the many years since her inception, Tinker Bell has become one of the main spokes-characters for The Walt Disney Company (along with Mickey Mouse and Jiminy Cricket) and one of its most iconic characters (mostly known for flying toward the screen with a thin wand in her hand, waving it and causing fairy dust to fly out to the screen). From the release of the original Peter Pan in 1953, Tinker Bell was known for being a silent character up until the release of her very own film, Tinker Bell in 2008, and all of its sequels.
