Disney Fairies: The Secret World of Tinker Bell[]

Disney fairies tinkerbell

From November 01, 2005, to September 01, 2012, produced by "The Walt Disney Company Italia, S.p.A.,"[5] the Disney Fairies/Tinker Bell franchise gained a monthly magazine with comic series. The magazine's original Italian name varied from "Disney Fairies - Il Mondo Segreto di Trilli" to "Il Mondo Segreto di Trilli", then to just "Trilli." It got 77 issues in total, aimed at girls from 5 to 9 years old. The first 30 issues were based on Gail Carson Levine's books, later shifting to the franchise movies through issue #77. The magazines centered on Tinker Bell, and her fairy friends from Pixie Hollow, each issue featuring stories (comics), new and old information from previous books, posters, and activities like games, puzzles, coloring pages and weekly fairy-horoscope. The magazine began with an initial print of 110,000 copies and a cover price of £1.99, and were later launched in many countries like: Brazil, Benelux, England, France, Germany, Malaysia, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, Spain, United States, and others. Depending on the country, there were variations in the magazine's name, cover, price, posters, layout, number of pages, texts, and/or even shortening the amount of speech bubbles in the comics.

English Version[]

In the United States, it was released on September 06, 2006. The magazines' name varied from "Disney Fairies - The Secret World of Tinker Bell" to "TinkerBell." Starting from 2010, it changed its editor being published by Redan Publishing Co. Anyone who was subscribed to the magazine received an issue of "Disney Princess Magazine" instead, with information on the inside cover about the closure of the magazine. After Redan acquired the publishing rights, there was no continuity of the magazine's issues number following the Italian version. Some issues only got its respective month and year of release. Not all issues were published in the United States.

In the United Kingdom it was released on June 07, 2006. The magazine was named "Disney Fairies - The Secret World of Tinker Bell & Friends" and was published by Egmont Magazines. From issues 1 to 16 the magazines had cut/pull-out pages for the stories, from issues 17 forward it stopped being pull-out, and the comics were now the same size as the magazine's pages. The UK version published more issues than the United States.[6]

Trivia[]

  • The French version sometimes joined 2 more issues from the original Italian into one single issue.[7]
  • The Brazilian-Portuguese version, by Abril Editora, had no creators credits and made extensive changes in the texts. In Issue 4, answering a fan-letter, it wrongly stated that Rani was born without wings.
  • The versions by Egmont Magazine had many different covers for the same issues in different countries.[8]
