Disney Confirms More Tinker Bell on DVD

Disney brings back the magic of fairies this fall, announcing the Oct. 27 release of the original animated sequel Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure on DVD and Blu-ray.

The studio also announced that it is developing a fifth film in the series, tentatively titled Tinker Bell: Race Through the Seasons, to be directed by Bobs Gannaway (Leroy & Stitch).

Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure is directed by Klay Hall (Father of the Pride, King of the Hill) and produced by Sean Lurie. It is the second film in the Disney Fairies franchise.

Both the DVD ($29.99) and Blu-ray ($39.99) editions include bonus features such as alternate scenes, a magical guide to Pixie Hollow, deleted scenes, and more.
