This began years ago when the 'Disney Fairies' licenses were all cancelled, as well as Peter Pan. The movie with Black Tinkerbell was originally supposed to have a different cast, but not only did they 'cancel' Tinkerbell and Peter Pan, years ago, they cancelled the head of the "Disney Fairies" franchise by having the actresses who portrayed the 'fairies' accuse him of sexual harassment. It's a long story involving that. Worse, Disney does not even own any rights whatsoever to "Peter Pan" and hasn't paid the children's hospital which actually owns the rights to Peter Pan a dime, ever. The fact is, anyone can legally make a "Peter Pan" movie so long as it isn't an adaptation of the play as I recall.
This all began when Disney was sued for co-opting a Botanical Gardens in (I think I am remembering this correctly) in New Zealand. Tinkerbell and the "Disney Fairies" were implemented in an APP which visitors to a park not owned by Disney could use their cellphones to connect to a Disney online interactive host which would serve as a 'virtual tour' of the place, certain trees, plants and locations were identified by the Disney characters on the APP. Kids could sign in to the account, Disney would not only provide a cybernetic or virtual landscape on their phone which would mirror the place... but track location of children. The problem? Not only does DISNEY not actually own rights to TINKERBELL, only the cartoon likeness, they had absolutely no rights with the park they did not own to do this.
A person could take their phone to a tree, and a "Disney Fairy" would tell you what kind tree it was, and other features which existed in the Botanical Garden open to the public. Disney just rolled in and said, hey nice park you got here, we'll just create a cybernetic version overlay of it, and it will be as though you visit a Disney Park. As if Disney had the rights to promote their Disney Fairies products on private property.
Not long after this, the moratorium began (which isn't anything particularly new) but the speculation was that of course, 'White Tinkerbell' was problematic in 2014. Even though Disney Fairies had a 'diverse cast' the problem was also that they weren't politically correct enough. The live-action movie was under development at this time, which would have starred an entirely different cast. However, Trump was elected in 2016. John Lassiter was quickly cancelled and accused of sexually harassing the Disney Fairies 'model' actresses, and fired from his executive position. The funny thing is the actresses all lost their jobs anyways, as the entire franchise itself was cancelled. The report was that the classic Tinkerbell Logo which appears on all sorts of merchandise and logos for Disney would be removed and cancelled indefinitely. Only remaining legal merchandise licenses remaining from previous contracts from manufacturers would still feature a Tinkerbell in logo or packaging. The cancelling of Tinkerbell and the Disney Fairies has been an ongoing conspiracy that goes back 10 years.
The movie was scrapped and then re-wokified by the director of THE GREEN KNIGHT to which he did a woke version of, along with Pete's Dragon. The main problem with TINKERBELL? A blond, blue eyed female LOGO is mostly what she has been for like 60 years. Tinkerbell was the most prominent character featured on Logos and letterheads besides Mickey Mouse and Jiminy Cricket. Clearly they cannot have that any more, even though her image has been synonymous with the DISNEY logo for over 60 years. The problem with Disney Fairies? Their 'diverse cast' was too soon, they actually offered completely new characters instead of race-swapping old ones. The directive? Race swapping is the ultimatum. No "new" characters, all old characters must be race-swapped. Also? It was established in the DISNEY FAIRIES cartoon series that Tinkerbell was also heterosexual. "Political correctness" is not enough. An entire overhaul is required. So the final rebranding can take place. A lesbian race-swap for each character is required to re-brand EVERYTHING.
The funny thing? In the book and play, "Tinkerbell" is a glowing ball of light. Not much more. The 'character' is conveyed with a point of light with a flashlight. TINKERBELL's history is a fascinating look into the perversion and demise of Disney. And it will continue.
