Disney RC Tinkerbell Ornithopter Redefines the Term 'Flying Fairy'
Posted by Benny Goldman at 9:07 AM on June 18, 2008
This Disney RC Tinker Bell is one seriously sweet flying fairy. As you see in the video, it's using WowWee's FlyTech ornithopter-type vertical flying system to flutter, glide and dive around this Waldorf-Astoria suite. It'll be out in the spring for $US40. [Disney]

@ps61318: There are two ways to get Fairy to fly. 1.) Buy this toy. or 2. drink the Green Fairy.
+ Watch video
My life is a non sequitur. But if you want to follow the train of thought here it is:
Disney RC Tinkerbell Toy -----> Disney's Tinkerbell from Peter Pan 1953 ----> Based on Green (absinth) Fairy ---> Art Nouveau depiction of the Green Fairy --> Moulin Rouge by Baz Luhrmann -> Christian (Ewan McGregor) first drink of absinth brings the Green Fairy to life > He sings "The hills are alive with the sound of music..."
So really, not a non sequitur, just a huge jump from A to G instead of the normal A to B.

You mean Tink's a bug now?? It wouldn't be so creepy if she had her arms outstreched. I'm reminded of "The Fly"

@DeadWriter: I am in awe, and you have my respect.
Always knew there was a reason to see Moulin Rouge.
And always remember - when wit evades me, I turn to puns:
"Absinthe makes the heart grow fonder."
