DVD Premiere Award-winning director Bradley Raymond (“The Lion King 1 1/2”) is returning to the world of fairies he brought to life in the DVD movie series “Tinker Bell” and “Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue” for a new Disney Channel special this fall.
“Pixie Hollow Games” is a new animated special that will feature a voice cast of Disney Channel stars including Brenda Song (“The Suite Life on Deck”), Jason Dolley (“Good Luck Charlie”), Tiffany Thornton (“So Random!”) and Zendaya (“Shake It Up”) as the new fairies and sparrow man who join Tinker Bell and her fairy friends to participate in the legendary Pixie Hollow Games. Megan Hilty (NBC’s upcoming musical series “Smash”) also stars as Rosetta.
As with the Tinker Bell movie series, Pixar’s John Lasseter will executive produce the DisneyToon Studios production for The Disney Channel that will feature all of the fairies and sparrow men in Pixie Hollow as they gather for the legendary three-day Olympic-style competition event, which culminates with one fairy guild being named champion of the Games.
Determined not to let the garden fairies’ unfortunate history of not performing well at the Games get to her, newcomer Chloe (voiced by Brenda Song) works to convince all of the other garden fairies, which includes her teammate Rosetta (voiced by Megan Hilty) and the pragmatic Fern (voiced by Zendaya), that they must work together and dig down deep to break their well-known losing streak. Along the way, the reigning champion storm fairies, including Rumble (voiced by Jason Dolley) and Glimmer (voiced by Tiffany Thornton), continue to intimidate and outperform their competitors, but with Chloe’s spirited determination, they are forced to work harder than ever before.
Raymond and some of the voice cast met with fans at Disney’s D23 Expo Saturday (Aug. 20) to discuss the production.
