I can proudly say that I have seen every one of the Tinker Bell movies. This is a franchise that I share with my daughter and now, my son. the movies are really well done with excellent animation and they are funny. I have enjoyed every one of them and we own all of them as well. Suffice it to say that we are excited about the next installment, which is Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverbBast. In this movie one of Tinker Bell’s quieter friends gets to take a more prominent role in the movie. This time Fawn, the Animal Talent Fairy will get a lot of screen time. She will also be getting a new voice. The role of Fawn is no longer being voiced by Angela Bartys (Who has voiced Fawn in all the Tinker Bell movies except for the first one) but rather Ginnifer Goodwin from “Once Upon a Time”. I don’t know why a change was made in the casting or if the kids will even notice. I notice because I love voice actors and the things that they do. I also think that Ginnifer will probably do a fantastic job in this role. You can find out more about the movie below.
INTRODUCING “TINKER BELL AND THE LEGEND OF THE NEVERBEAST”: GINNIFER GOODWIN AS THE VOICE OF ‘FAWN’ AND THE ALL-NEW CHARACTER ‘GRUFF’
DisneyToon Studios is pleased to announce that Ginnifer Goodwin (“Once Upon a Time”) will voice the character Fawn in the new Disney Fairies adventure, “Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast”.
“Fawn is a character who loves all animals unconditionally,” said director Steve Loter. “She will help any animal that needs her, but sometimes Fawn thinks too impulsively, when she should be thinking with her head, as well as her heart.”
Loter says there’s a lot of Goodwin in the character. “Fawn was inspired by my daughter and her unconditional love of animals,” he said. “But Ginnifer had a very strong hand in crafting the character. Her sense of fun and her wondrous view of the world gave Fawn direction. You can hear the smile in Ginnifer’s voice—this is a character that loves life and lives it to its fullest.”

About ‘“Gruff”:
The heartwarming story explores the ancient myth of a mysterious creature whose distant roar sparks the curiosity of Tinker Bell’s friend Fawn, an animal fairy who’s not afraid to break the rules to rescue the NeverBeast before time runs out. The fairies meet Gruff who is a massive creature and the subject of an ancient Pixie Hollow myth. Hidden in a dark lair on the fringes of the fairies’ beloved home, Gruff is discovered by curious and empathetic animal fairy Fawn, who sees something special in his glowing green eyes. His penchant for stacking rocks mystifies Fawn and her friends—but Gruff’s true purpose is the real surprise.
The film, releasing in-home March 3, 2015, also features the voices of Mae Whitman (Tinker Bell), Megan Hilty (Rosetta), Lucy Liu (Silvermist), Raven Symone (Iridessa), Anjelica Huston (Queen Clarion) and is directed by Steve Loter (“Kim Possible”) and produced by Makul Wigert (“Secret of the Wings”).
