Tinker Bell Receives Walk of Fame Star

[Disney's Divinity]

I wonder why it's taken so long for her to get a star. But, yeah, congratulations. She's not one of my favorite characters, but she's certainly iconic.

Oh, and I'm glad Donald has a star, too.

Poor Peter Pan, skipped over for his side kick!

I thought this was interesting enough to share here.

Fictional characters (and those who create them)

In 1978, in honor of his 50th anniversary, Mickey Mouse became the first animated character to receive a star. Other animated recipients are Bugs Bunny, Donald Duck, Woody Woodpecker, Snow White, Tinker Bell, Winnie-the-Pooh, Shrek, Rugrats and The Simpsons. The star inscribed Charlie Tuna honors not the animated advertising mascot, but the long-time radio personality (real name: Art Ferguson).

Other fictional characters on the Walk include the Munchkins (as mentioned), two puppets (Kermit the Frog and Big Bird), one monster (Godzilla), and three non-animated canine characters (Strongheart, Lassie, and Rin Tin Tin). The Muppets will receive a collective star in 2011, making Kermit and Big Bird the first fictional characters to receive two stars.

Six stars recognize cartoonists and animators: Walt Disney, Friz Freleng, Chuck Jones, Walter Lantz, Charles Schulz, and Jay Ward.
Three puppeteers have stars: Fran Allison, Jim Henson, and Shari Lewis.
