(The
character Zarina in a film still from “The Pirate Fairy”)
The Walt Disney Studios has announced
Natasha Bedingfield’s collaboration on The
Pirate Fairy.
“We are lucky enough to have award-winning
Natasha Bedingfield serve as the inner voice of Zarina through her songs,” says
Peggy Holmes, director of The Pirate
Fairy. “Zarina is a little offbeat and contemporary and these songs
showcase her personality so well. We used one of Natasha’s songs, Weightless, as a temp track and fell in
love with it - so much so, we decided to use it in the final film. We felt
Natasha’s voice so perfectly spoke to Zarina’s character, we asked her to also
perform our original song Who I Am,
which was written for The Pirate Fairy.”
Says Bedingfield: “Being part of The Pirate Fairy was fantastic, I like
pirates and I really love fairies, so I could think of nothing better than
working on a song for the movie that brings these things together. It really
has got everything I love in it.”
From the world of Peter Pan, The Pirate Fairy is a swashbuckling new adventure about
Zarina (voice of Christina Hendricks), a smart and ambitious dust-keeper fairy
who’s captivated by Blue Pixie Dust and its endless possibilities. When
Zarina’s wild ideas get her into trouble, she flees Pixie Hollow and joins
forces with the scheming pirates of Skull Rock, who make her captain of their
ship. Tinker Bell (voice of Mae Whitman) and her friends must embark on an epic
adventure to find Zarina, and together they go sword-to-sword with the band of
pirates led by a cabin boy named James (voice of Tom Hiddleston), who’ll soon
be known as Captain Hook himself.
With laughter, heart, magic and thrills, The Pirate Fairy sets sail across South
African cinemas May 2, 2014. See the trailer at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Et4zsoUNb_0
