Perhaps not in the U.S. but it's possible overseas. While probably not in front of Frozen, they could have it play in front of the new Tinker Bell movie. When Winnie the Pooh was released in the UK (and in some other countries too), they had a segment from Jake and the Never Land Pirates attached, so anything's possible.

Do you think it's going to be longer in length than the usual Pixie Previews? I certainly hope so. Also, I think the short may be based on this storybook.

I think it means products featuring more stylized art like this one.

I'll have to agree with Patrick on this one. As much as I like the films, they do skew younger than the typical WDAS film. But that's OK. They're entertaining and charming with interesting characters and mythology and I like them for what they are.

I would have prefered though if the Gaelic atmosphere featured in the first teaser was more prevalent in the films.

They should have convinced Loreena McKennitt to do the songs for all the films! 'To the Fairies They Draw Near' is the best one in this franchise! It gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it! Lyria's song and 'Where the Sunbeams Play' were also really good!

I totally agree! That would be great. I'm tired of those cheap pop songs we get so that Disney can shamelessly promote their Disney Channel stars. :roll:

The first two films were meh, however The Great Fairy Rescue was probably the best out of the 4. I Probably mostly enjoyed the back story on the Queen in Secret of the Wings.

And yeah I'm tired of the pops songs, but they probably won't be popping away any time soon :roll:

'Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue' was my favourite, but I thought it was just as good as 'Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure'!

Well all the films do have a olde-worldy type of song in the beginning, then have their token pop one at the end. Though in the grand scheme of things, the ending songs aren't half bad. Really love 'The Great Divide' for some reason !

It would be lovely for the short to play before the Tink movie ! Presume it will be like Pixie Hollow Games? Though I think it would be marvellous to have it shown before Frozen.

New fairy characters have appeared on the Disney Fairies website. Do you think they could be from the upcoming movie or short? All of the new characters are members of the Never Council which is responsible for organizing special events and contests. Based on that, I think they'll probably make an appearance on the new "bake off" short.

Also added to the list of characters are Marina and Tabby. Both of them appeared in Pixie Hollow Games.

I'm not fond of Slate's design. He looks too much like Sled from Secret of the Wings.

From trying to make the Tink franchise more manly with Pixie Hollow Games and dropping Tinker Bell from the titles all together ... it is funny how they are now doing a short based on cooking rotfl

I guess we'll have to wait a few more months... Unless the 'Return to Never Land' has a new trailer.

Yes, 'Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy' is the new title, but it's hard to tell if that storyline made it into the final film...
