Newt -- a 2011 Pixar film The Bear and the Bow -- 2012 Pixar Release King of the Elves -- 2012 Disney Animation Studios release There's a slew of Tinkerbell movies on the list, too, but not much interest there for me.

Originally Posted By jdub >>Or nasty, like promiscuous and gross...<< That whole aspect, if present, went completely unexplored. I was going more the murderous, jealous bits, which being cute, to my sensibilities, does nothing to mitigate.
