Tinkerbell was the jealous pixie/fairy who glowed brightest for Peter Pan. Her voice sang like a tinkling bell and a sprinkle of her pixie dust could make you fly. Tinkerbell is traditionally staged as a flying point of light beamed from offstage. She was called Tinker Bell because she mended the pots and kettles, a tinker is a tin worker, and with her magic wand led Peter Pan through the ins and outs of Never Never Land reminding us of a time in everyone's childhood when danger and adventure lured us into the possibilities of the imagination to believe in Fairies, to this day she is one o...

Beast is, in my opinion, one of the very finest pieces of Disney character animation. A complex and interesting character, he was bought into being by Glen Keane, a Supervising Animator who has since worked on the characters of Aladdin and Pocahontas, and is currently scheduled to do lead animation for the forthcoming Tarzan. So why do I reckon that Beast is such a great example of Keane's work? Well, great animation is largely about emotion - evoking and building that emotional response in an audience. When you see a piece of animation for the first time, you have no earlier referen...

A self-confessed love of the 'British deadpan character' (hehheh), Finn was perfectly suited to Cogsworth, as was David Ogden-Stiers, who provided the supercilious character with the ideal voice. As with all the 'enchanted objects', it was a problem to make the animation look natural - as if the characters really could move in the way they did. (One trick I'm glad they didn't use was 'Hell, we can't draw that. Just make 'em fly or something.') The model sheets in The Art of Animation show how the anatomies of all the objects were carefully analysed and...

Glen Keane was the supervising animator of Beast. In the early concept art, Beast was mandrill-inspired, later developing to incorporate elements of the bear and wolf, but with most of the inspiration drawn from the buffalo. Only his horns were, as Keane says, '..just something we gave him ourselves.' Determined to go to considerable lengths to find inspiration for his character, Keane asked to be allowed into a zoo cage with a temperamental gorilla, in order to get a feeling for what is was like to be so close to the huge beast. Fortunately, he was denied the opportunity... Of a...

Once upon a time . . . as a merchant set off for market, he asked each of his three daughters what she would like as a present on his return. The first daughter wanted a brocade dress, the second a pearl necklace, but the third, whose name was Beauty, the youngest, prettiest and sweetest of them all, said to her father: "All I'd like is a rose you've picked specially for me!" When the merchant had finished his business, he set off for home. However, a sudden storm blew up, and his horse could hardly make headway in the howling gale. Cold and weary, the merchant had lost all hope of...

N-not a minute to lose! [Gaston:] Whoa! Slow down, Maurice. Who's got Belle locked in a dungeon? [Maurice:] A beast! A horrible, monstrous beast! [Patron I:] Is it a big beast? [Maurice:] Huge!

[Gaston:] Who does she think she is? That girl has tangled with the wrong man! No one says "no" to Gaston! [LeFou:] Heh heh. Darn right. [Gaston:] Dismissed! Rejected! Publicly Humiliated! Why, it's more than I can bear. [LeFou:] More beer? [Gaston:] What for? Nothing helps. I'm disgraced. [LeFou:] Who, you? Never! Gaston, you've got to pull yourself together. Gosh it disturbs me to see you, Gaston Looking so down in the dumps Every guy...

Pocahontas What I love most about rivers is: You can't step in the same river twice The water's always changing, always flowing But people, I guess, can't live like that We all must pay a price To be safe, we lose our chance of ever knowing What's around the riverbend Waiting just around the riverbend I look once more Just around the riverbend Beyond the shore Where the gulls fly free Don't know what for What I dream the day might send Jut around the riverbend For me Coming for me I feel it there beyond those trees Or right behind t...

Pocahontas You think I'm an ignorant savage And you've been so many places I guess it must be so But still I cannot see If the savage one is me Now can there be so much that you don't know? You don't know ... You think you own whatever land you land on The Earth is just a dead thing you can claim But I know every rock and tree and creature Has a life, has a spirit, has a name You think the only people who are people Are the people who look and think like you But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger You'll learn things you never knew you ...

Look for the bare necessities The simple bare necessities Forget about your worries and your strife I mean the bare necessities Old Mother Nature's recipes That brings the bare necessities of life Wherever I wander, wherever I roam I couldn't be fonder of my big home The bees are buzzin' in the tree To make some honey just for me When you look under the rocks and plants And take a glance at the fancy ants Then maybe try a few The bare necessities of life will come to you They'll come to you!

For a long time we've been marching off to battle In our thund'ring herd we feel a lot like cattle Like the pounding beat our aching feet aren't easy to ignore Hey, think of instead a girl worth fighting for Huh? That's what I said: A girl worth fighting for I want her paler than the moon with eyes that shine like stars My girl will marvel at my strength, adore my battle scars I couldn't care less what she'll wear or what she looks like It all depends on what she cooks like: Beef, pork, chicken ... Mmmh ...

Tinker Bell is the jealous pixie who glows brightest for Peter Pan. Her voice sings like a tinkling bell and a sprinkle of her pixie dust can make you fly. But this sprite can turn spiteful if she suspects that Peter's attentions are diverted to anyone but herself. It's bad enough that she has to compete with Never Land's other adoring females (the mermaids and Princess Tiger Lily), but now Peter's brought back this Wendy person from London. Tink would lay down her life for Peter, but he's too busy playing Wendy's hero to care. Somehow she'll find a way to settle th...

Peter Pan is back, courtesy of Disney Television Animation, in a new theatrical feature film as part of Disney's quest to turn its classics into animated sequels. While most animated sequels go direct to video, Disney is giving some -- like Peter Pan: Return to Never Land -- a widescreen release first. For this rendition of the story, Wendy is all grown up with children of her own, and as the Blitzkrieg rages, she calms them with tales of Peter Pan, the boy who refused to grow up. Wendy's stubborn 12-year-old daughter, Jane, has no patience for such nonsense… until Captain Hook hims...

Iago is the favorite Aladdin character of a great many people. He probably has the best one-line comedy of any character, and he occasionally has a heroic scene (for instance, he is the hero in the Return of Jafar). Mostly, though, he is comic relief, and he does a good job of it. Some of his lines are side-splitting humor, like "Where there's a Genie's brain, there's space to rent." Him and the Genie work best together. One of the better exchanges involving them is listed below: Aladdin: The animals talk! Genie: You mean like Iago, or actual intelligent conversation?

Aladdin is one of the classic Disney heroes: born and raised among a den of villains, yet brave, intelligent, clean, steadfast, and quick-witted, even if he happens to be a street thief at the moment. In short, he's a diamond in the rough. The animators' portrayal of Aladdin is not typical of Disney; his eyes are large, like those of a Disney heroine, and the lineaments of his body are freer-flowing and more rounded than is usual for Disney heroes. The biggest difference from the norm is that, unlike most youthful Disney heroes, he's a doer rather than a passive character; in th...

[Aladdin:] I can show you the world Shining, shimmering, splendid Tell me, princess, now when did You last let your heart decide?
