Pixie Hollow comes to the Magic Kingdom
As announced by the Orlando Sentinental, Disney has announced a new addition to Mickey’s Toontown Fair. Pixie Hollow will be a walk-thru attraction for children to meet and greet the residents of Pixie Hollow, Tinker Bell and her faerie friends, Iridessa, Rosetta, Silvermist and Fawn. The attraction is to open October 24th, four days before the release of the direct-to-DVD movie featuring these characters. This is a notable change from the release of the recent Prince Caspian attraction that opened several months after the release of the movie. But, of course, Disney has seemingly abandoned the Narnia franchise.
In contrast, Disney has high hopes that the faerie concept will grow into another princess franchise. Merchandise is being launched for the Christmas season. Plus, they have already stated intentions of producing 4 direct-to-DVD movies. As stated by a Disney official “this is a franchise that is soon to be like our princesses franchise.” We shall see. The faeries have a lot of ground to make up to catch the Princess craze. But it appears that Disney is preparing a full blown Pixie Hollow assault on the public
