I loved that make up scene and was upset when the video got deleted. It's so good to see this sequence again :D

Pixie Chicks

Tinker Bell: Ring of Belief (incomplete movie concept)

I wish they would’ve taken this concept and given us a battle of the bands short, it’s so fun!

This just made my day. Never thought that after Lisa Temming's presentation (especially Lavender's concept art) I'd ever see, from official media, any better depiction of book and movie fairies being each others counterparts, born from the same concept but eventually developed into different characters. Call me crazy but seeing Rani's early artworks with blue hair literally screaming "I was almost Silvermist" feels like a late birthday present or something.

Disney, stop hiding them from us!

✨Fairies Finds✨: New Early Artwork and Promotional Video from 2005 Disney Fairies Japan Website with Gail Carson Levine- Author of Disney Fairies Trilogy

Fly with you everyone and happy Friday the 13th! I have been looking into Disney Fairies pre-release stuff ever since some early stuff was posted into Art of Disney Fairies. I have also been interested in media preservation since late 2017 when I found Web Back Then. Truthfully, despite having this interest when trying to find the old Disney Fairies games from my childhood- I never really shared much with the world. I feel like I should remedy that! (this find is relatively recent though I found it yesterday!)

This is a video I found on the Internet Archive from disneyfairies.jp, a promotional page on the Disney Japan website that seems disconnected from the main Disney Fairies page which was a clone of the original website. See here

Through some research the gist of the video is this:

The video starts with an introduction to the original Peter Pan by J.M. Barrie, which is interjected with clips from Disney's Peter Pan. Then we see more artwork of Disney Fairies- including unfamilar designs including early Vidia, Rani, Fira etc. According to Part of the Magic, Disney Fairies started development in early 2001- the series was launched fully in 2005. Then Gail (dubbed of course) begins to describe the plot of Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg whilst we see several pictures of this early Disney Fairies art. Interesting pictures as we get to see the very early designs of Disney Fairies characters that I have never seen before.

Interestingly, this video was never embedded on the page, you had to download it and play it through a video player such as Windows Media Player or Real Player, it was 2005 after all.

Here is the screen you'd see when you'd want to watch this promotional video. I recognize the leaves used in early flash games such as Lightball Challenge, Dragonfly Race etc.

A page on the website that I found with my decomplier, i couldn't view it normally!

I tried looking for this video in English to no avail, or any version on the internet. It must have only been accessible through this website.

Interestingly, I found this other page whilst doing my page digging thing again and found this, suggesting this was also a Japan exclusive and not for the American market ... and there is more early promotional stuff to be found in relation to Disney Fairies!

I also looked into one the main book artists on the creative team, Judith Holmes Clarke. She had a website I found on her IMDB page, that was live around 2017-2019. I saw this and wanted to add it as it had one of the stills in this video. It also has a sketch of Rosetta and Tink. This is what I found:

It is probably a scan of this magazine, Disney Newsreel, mentioned on her IMDB.

Overall, I'm super happy with this find and I'm so happy to share it with you all!! I will be happy to share more now that I'm publicly outing myself not just as this fan of children's fairy media- an archivist. gasp...

Also probably making a website/blog which I will share later and will be in the About Me link with my other socials.

And believe me, this is just the beginning

I feel like early Vidia works well as an antithesis of Queen Clarion, especially when you have one leave a trail of poisonous toadstools, while other having a dress made of vines (maybe Ree could even leave a trail of flowers as a Fairy Queen?)

Vidia based on the early concept (back then named Invidia)

Meeting Kit from Pixie Hollow Online for the first time back in 2009 was something I'll never forget

Could someone invent a time machine, please?

You know, when I was 10 I wanted to be exactly like my favourite fairies, like Rani or Bess, to name a few.

17 years later, I turned out to be a lot like Vidia...

In both her eras she literally makes me be like: "Girl, same", most of the time (her and Tink after Peter Pan fiasco actually)

Braiding my Iridessa doll’s hair inspired me to draw this

Going through my unfinished Disney Fairies drawings I found one that was finished years ago, but never posted, so why the heck not do that now. There was never an occassion to do so anyway, so might as well just do that

I liked to compare Iridessa’s early outfit with Fira’s, and found the similarities kinda interesting. Before it was redesigned, it would seem that light-talent fairies (at least the major ones) might have a dress code (still, probably similarities are just accidental, but was a kinda fun idea? I don’t know, I drew this 4 years ago, ok?)

But then again, in the movies, the talents do have a dress code (and I really wanna finally finish that other dress code drawing that I had in mind)

What if: Vidia was a villain?

Inspired by the early concept where she was a dark fairy named Invidia

Omg, I don’t draw Disney Fairies enough and it shows, as I never post anything here! :O
