201. Tinkerbell (2008)

J.B. and Eddie head to Pixie Hollow this week to review Tinkerbell (2008). Disney's second most iconic character finally gets her own voice and her own world — and the guys make the case that it works better than expected. They also dig into the surprisingly fascinating backstory of the Disney Fairies franchise, how the Princess merchandising boom created it, and how Frozen killed it.Then in Disney News: Disney's latest layoffs under new CEO Josh D'Amaro, James Cameron's candid comments about Avatar as a fading "cultural force," a Star Wars at the Sphere rumor that has J.B. ready to book flights, and a Hollywood Reporter piece on "hope-core" — the cultural shift toward optimistic storytelling that Hoppers and Project Hail Mary are leading.
