omg, omg, I just found more
OOH OOH OOH!
This scene concept was not from the first version of the Tinker Bell movie, but another drafted after that was scrapped, by Sharon Morrill, which John Lasseter apparently abhorred.
From this article by Dominic Von Reidemann, “Lasseter even hated the trilogy’s concept: Tinker Bell’s best friend discovers that boy fairies live in another part of Neverland. That sets the stage for a Romeo and Juliet story, where two lovers are caught in a war between the boy and girl fairies. The first movie ends with the Romeo fairy sacrificing himself to save his love, and the Juliet fairy going with Tinker Bell to see a performance by an all-girl fairy group informally called “The Pixie Chicks.”
In the second and third movies, Tinker Bell discovers that the Romeo fairy isn’t actually dead, and the trilogy ends happily ever after. Think it sucks? So did John Lasseter.”
The next idea featured Peter and the lost boys, so, “Lasseter told Morrill he “would not support a (Tinker Bell) movie with Peter Pan in it.””
I very much agree! Thank you, Mr. Lasseter, for saving us from these disgraces…
(I still find the idea of “The Pixie Chicks” hilarious, but this pop rock fairy band vibe does not fit the franchise, and honestly, the movies would not have been taken seriously by ANYONE if they had been produced.)
That first Romeo and Juliet kinda story does seem like a mess and I’m totally okay with it not being a thing, but I still really wanna see more of this.
Lasseter can eat rocks
Justice for Pixie Chicks
the fact after all these years it was finally found!
