Mandela Effect - Tinkerbell

Posted by HutchinsonianDemon

So, a friend brought to my attention that there is not in fact a Disney opening that features Tinkerbell tapping the logo with her wand causing sparks. I remember this opening very distinctly. She started on the right and then flew to the left before flying offscreen as the blue logo faded.

This particular example of the Mandela Effect is really bothering me because unlike previous examples, where it's just remembering the spelling of something wrong combined with a few products with misspellings on them, this is a very distinctive series of movments.

Am I just crazy or was there something that did have Tinkerbell on the blue Disney logo?

    I think you're right in that there isn't a movie opening with Tinkerbell but there are other places where she does the motion you describe. 1970's Opening Theme to The Wonderful World of Disney...

      That last one is very familiar. Maybe I'm super imposing the traditional blue logo over that one?

        You probably have several memories that over time have merged together just like I have had. I also remembered the scene the way that you described and was surprised that I couldn't find one...

    Was it maybe on the Disney Channel? That does sound very familiar to me, too.

      The way I remember it is tinkerbell tapping on the Mickey Mouse logo on the Disney Channel bumps in the 00's, that's probably what OP is thinking of.

      The funny thing about this to me is that afaik Tinkerbell didn't have a wand in Peter Pan.
