Tinker Bell Banned...
After many years away, my brother, Sammy, recently came home from away and offered some fascinating insights into the peculiarities of censorship in the modern era. Sammy wanted to see an R-Rated movie. As he was looking for a suitable candidate -- Deadpool --, he happened to notice a pile of Tinker Bell movies and mentioned that he had never seen any of them as they were unrated and as such, were banned. He also noted that Big, the Tom Hanks movie where Tom plays a child who has suddenly grown big, was censored for objectionable content.
As for Tinker Bell, from what I understand, in the original text of Peter Pan, fairies are described as being only able to hold only one emotion at a time, so, when Tinker Bell is angry, she is psycho-crazy angry. And, some of Tinker Bell's anger management issues even make their way into the animated Peter Pan movie as noted in a Buzzfeed article. Of course, the more recent Tinker Bell movies are toned down quite a bit for younger fans...
Curiously, Sammy has seen many PG and PG-13 movies while away without censorship. I just thought the idea of Tinker Bell being banned was such an odd idea, that I had to share.
