Brittany Murphy has been announced as the voice of Tinkerbell in an upcoming straight-to-video release based on the Fairies line of merchandise. It's the first time Disney will be doing anything that gives Tink a voice.

Great idea. I mean, look what it did for Hook!

How successful is the Fairies line? I remember the big launch, but haven't seen/heard much from it since. Having said that, my nieces are too young (7 months and 1 year old) to have been infected by the mania. Though the 1 year old is really into Dumbo.

Yeah, after the big fanfare of the merch line (which was wonderfully and perversely derided by most of us with glee), I have not seen so much as a knick-knack.

Tink with a voice?

I'm speechless.

The best part about the Tinkerbell character in the film 'Peter Pan' was that she didn't talk. The animators had to convey what she was thinking or feeling through their drawings without the aid of her saying something. I always found that to be a brilliant element in the film itself.

Now Luann from 'King of the Hill' is going to be her voice. I just don't know. It may work, but I'm thinking it most likely won't. Maybe Murphy could revisit her character from 'Clueless' for inspiration for the voice.

Yes, but this way you can save on expensive artists costs and just explain emotions instead of display them

I think it's done pretty well. I still see the merchandise in the park.
