I know she isn't a princess or anything, but isn't the green skinned girl in the Firebird sequence available as a poster or figure or anything?

got $595,-?

Impressive statue, but not exactly something that is nomrally available for common people. I wouldn't complain if cheaper objects became available. And children would probably liked it if a short comic book story or something was released, she has some potential, even if she is different from the fairies and Tinkerbell.

Really? I can't see a kid choosing to buy anything with the wood sprite on it. I mean, physically, she has a good design and all, but I really don't see much appeal in reading a comic book about her. I mean, half the kids I know won't even sit through "Fantasia", let alone have an interest in a character from it.

At the moment, all I can find is http://www.allposters.co.uk/gallery.asp?, but I know there are others. The Firebird itself also has a little bit of merchandise knocking about, I think.

Thanks, so there is some material about her after all.

I wasn't exactly suggestion an ongoing comic book, but rather a limited series or a one-shot.
It doesn't matter if children doesn't like Fantasia. Remember Mickey Mouse from the original Fantasia. This segment and the character don't have much in common. This could also be the case with this wooden sprite.

Imagine if one of the creatures of the forest, either an animal or a magical being, or a human for that matter, have trouble of some kinf, and she shows up and asks what's wrong and such. If an elemental mud creature like Swamp Think could turn into a comic, why not a green girl from Disney?

Yeah, but Mickey was an established character by the time he appeared in "Fantasia". Plus to me it would kind of ruin part of the movie to take a character who didn't speak and existed solely around a piece of music and make her speak. I mean, "Fantasia" is all about the music. Addind spoken word to the characters feels awkward to me.

I think a 'wordless' comic (in the fashion of Raymond Briggs' The Snowman, for example) could be effective.

*cough* "The Tinker Bell Movie" *cough*

And that's a perfect example of such an atrocity.

Personally, I don't see any problems with a Tinkerbell movie. It is not like she is sacred or something. This movie and Peter Pan are two separate creations, and each stand on their own. I understand that someone feels that Peter Pan becomes contaminated or something by making this, but I don't see it like that. I can say for sure that there is probably many small children who will love the movie about Tinkerbell, while Peter Pan will still be Peter Pan.

The same goes for the green wood sprite, especially if it is a comic which for obvious reasons are silent anyway, with or without dialogue. But that's just my opinion.
