Alright, so I'm sure you all know by now that I have a very very weird obsession with Peter Pan. When most people think "she loves Peter Pan," "she loves Tinkerbell" comes with it. This is not true. I really don't mind Tinkerbell as a character; I think she's hilarious. However, Tinkerbell is not my favorite character outside of the movie. Honestly, I don't understand these girls and their obsession with Tinkerbell. I mean, in the movie, all she really did was provide the dust for Peter Pan to fly. Yeah, sure, she's the whole reason Peter was able to go to Neverland, but come on! The movie is called PETER PAN not Peter Pan and Tinkerbell! I really wouldn't have a problem with Tinkerbell if Disney didn't sell so much of her merchandise! As a huge Peter Pan fan, it's so difficult to find Peter Pan merchandise! Yes, the movie is old, but it's a great one! I just don't understand why I get results with Tinkerbell all over them when I search Peter Pan on the Disney Store website!
The Disney Store came out with a Peter Pan plush doll, and a Peter Pan creepy looking big head thing. You can bet that I jumped on those as soon as I saw them, and I cherish them both dearly. They also came out with a Christmas ornament (which I have yet to buy... $10 for one ornament... crazy) and a Jeweled figure by the Arribas Brothers (which I probably won't buy because it's $125.) For my birthday last year my mother bought me a Peter Pan snow globe, which was awesome, but other than those things, there's NO PETER PAN MERCH unless you want to buy it for crazy prices on Amazon or eBay. I'm just trying to say that if the Disney store is going to continue to sell Tinkerbell merchandise like crazy, they should at least sell more merchandise about the boy who made her popular. If Peter Pan was never a movie, I don't think Disney would come out with all of these pixie movies! Don't even get me started on how Tinkerbell has more movies out than Peter Pan does...
Peter just has so much hope in him. I want to be like him. He has fun, and he does what he wants! Plus, who wouldn't want to fly? I have such a hard time, trying to explain why I love Peter Pan so much; I just do.
So that's my long Peter Pan rant, and I hope I didn't offend anyone who likes Tinkerbell.
Have a magical day, and don't forget about the poll on my page!
The poll is being weeeeeeeeeird! That being said, Peter Pan is awesome! I also dislike Tinkerbell because of Julia Roberts in Hook.
ReplyDeleteYeah, for some reason the poll doesn't seem to be working. Also, I enjoy the movie Hook, but I don't believe Peter Pan grows up, so I don't accept it as a "Peter Pan movie."
