Also making their way down the carpet were director Bradley Raymond and producer Helen Kalafatic, both were excited about their latest effort and told Monsters and Critics "we're keeping the look and vision of Tinker Bell true to Mark Davis' original design, and this film is exciting because it is the first time Tink has any human interaction."

Our favorite celebrity encounter was with the beautiful Pamela Adlon who voices "Vidia." Pamela is a mother of three girls, a popular celebrity who has a rich voice-over career on top of her television roles as Marcy Runkle in "Californication" and producing hit FX comedy, "Louie."  Adlon loved her career in voicing animated characters and was proud of her work on "King of the Hill."  Adlon said, "If I could, I would do voice-over work forever.  I love all my Saturday morning cartoon characters!"

Premise

Years before meeting Wendy and the Lost Boys, Tinker Bell (Mae Whitman) met Lizzy (Lauren Mote), a little girl with a steadfast belief in the power of pixie dust and the magic land of fairies. During the fairies' summer visit to the flowering meadows of England, Tink ends up getting trapped in a small house Lizzy had built so she could catch a fairy. Tink is brought to Lizzy's house, where the two form a special bond with each other. However, when Lizzy's greedy father discovers Tinker Bell's presence in his household, he attempts to deliver her to the museum and exploit her when suddenly, Tink's old rival Vidia, who followed Lizzy home, pushes Tink out of the way and is taken in her place. As her fellow fairies (Raven-Symoné, Lucy Liu, Kristin Chenoweth, Angela Bartys, Pamela Adlon) launch a daring rescue, Tinker Bell takes a huge risk, putting her own safety and the future of all fairykind in jeopardy.
