I remember when I was young I had a book of illustrated Disney stories. They were the classic stories-Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Robin Hood . . . . I remember there was a page that had all the Disney characters together. And I remember one day while I was looking at it with my dad he got out a magnifying glass so we could look at Tinkerbell on that page (because she was very very small). I think that was probably the spark that led to my love of fairies and fairy tales.
It is so seldom now that I find good pictures of those beloved Disney characters from my childhood--those animations that were made more beautiful by the hands of the artists who would sit for days and days to draw the movements of the characters. I'll admit that the computer animation is amazing but there is something magical about the way they used to look. Anyway, I found this picture and I had to save it-a symbol of the beauty in my childhood that I refuse to forget and hope, someday (years away!), to pass on to a little girl of my own.

Is that signed Peter Pan 1953?
I think so.
I remember these wonderful books as well. I actually will go to McKay's and only buy the older books like the ones I read as a little girl. So many of the cartoons and toys that are making a comeback from when we were young are changed and no longer as great. I totally understand your feelings on this.
You know, I think Tink has a perfect figure. She is no Barbie doll, but her figure is attainable for the average woman, and she is so . . . cute!
I agree
