On the entertainment side, Pixar released a teaser for Gatto, a Venice-set feline adventure arriving in 2027, while Disney+ brings a strong June lineup including Avatar: Fire and Ash and new seasons and specials. Meanwhile, Walt Disney World's Swan & Dolphin Resort is celebrating summer with patriotic “America 250” events, concerts, and discounts, Shanghai Disney is expanding its 10th anniversary summer celebration, and the Disney community mourns the passing of Margaret Kerry, the beloved Tinker Bell reference model, who died at age 97.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 12, 2026. We open with a question that gets at something deeper than any single news story — what's the difference between conspiracy theory and reality? We argue the answer is evidence, and we got a lot of it this week. We connect this to a Florida governor's race story — the presumptive Democratic nominee David Jolly is arguing illegal immigrants should be granted driver's licenses for the safety of all Floridians. We walk through why this argument requires you to accept that citizenship means nothing, that legal and illegal immigration are the same thing, and that the solution to someone breaking federal law is to hand them a state credential rather than send them home. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Now, SpaceX completed its initial public offering, opening at $150 a share and closing the day up 19% at $160.95 — the largest IPO in world history, making Elon Musk the world's first trillionaire and creating 4,400 millionaire employees in a single day. Then President Trump nominated Jay Clayton, U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York, to be the permanent Director of National Intelligence after Tulsi Gabbard's resignation — a pick that's already won the support of Senate Majority Leader John Thune. And the U.S. Supreme Court voted 6-3 to uphold a lower court's ban on nitrogen asphyxiation as a method of execution in Alabama, with Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Oklahoma also having authorized but not yet used the method. We also cover the United States becoming India's top supplier of liquefied natural gas — a development President Trump predicted, and one we frame as more than an economic story. It's about whether the world's largest democracy depends on energy from a stable rule-of-law nation or from regimes that use energy as a geopolitical weapon. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson discuss whether a single two-week vacation or multiple three-day getaways make for better family trips — and the consensus is clear. Long weekends create harmony, give everyone a job, and end before anyone's feelings get hurt. Teri shares the trick for getting grown children to join family trips — tell them you'll cover everything and all they have to do is show up. In our Digging Deep segment, outgoing Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard released a bombshell report revealing that the U.S. government has secretly funded more than 120 biolabs in over 30 countries — including roughly 40 in Ukraine, a war zone, storing pathogens like anthrax, Ebola, and SARS. We explain gain-of-function research — modifying viruses to make them more dangerous — and connect it to Senator Rand Paul's documented evidence that the U.S. funded this kind of research in Wuhan despite repeated denials from Dr. Fauci and Biden administration officials. We also discuss a deeply troubling story out of Carencro, Louisiana, where a father is accused of secretly giving abortion pills to his 17-year-old pregnant daughter without her knowledge, causing a medical emergency and premature delivery — and we connect it to the broader debate over telehealth abortion pill prescriptions, which the data shows send one in ten women to the emergency room. We also cover Democrats publicly calling for the demolition of the White House ballroom construction project if they regain power — and reflect on how dramatically the rhetoric around government buildings and symbolism has shifted over the decades. Then it's our 10th year of Fake News Friday — covering whether more people attended the congressional baseball game than a typical Washington Nationals game, whether SpaceX is now worth more than the entire nation of Canada, whether two children running a lemonade stand in South Boston were robbed at gunpoint, whether a Pakistani immigrant running for mayor in Texas pled guilty to over 100 counts of voter fraud, and whether Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett claimed the knife used to murder Austin Metcalf wasn't a deadly weapon. We also discuss the defacing of the National Mall with anti-Trump messaging carved into the grass — and make the point that the National Mall belongs to the American people, not to any politician or party, regardless of who's in office. And we close with the story of Margaret Kerry, the human model and inspiration for Disney's Tinkerbell in Peter Pan, who passed away this past week at age 97. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Margaret Kerry is an American actress, author, motivational speaker, radio host, and performance model, best known for her 1953 work as the model for Tinker Bell in the Disney animated feature film, Peter Pan.Kerry answered an audition call during the planning stages of the film. The audition, supervised by Disney animator Marc Davis, required her to pantomime the motions that would eventually be animated as Tinker Bell, such as preening in a mirror at her feet. She won the audition and spent the next six months at the Disney Studios on a mostly empty soundstage pantomiming the role on film. The studios provided props as well, notably a giant keyhole mounted on a stand as well as a pair of giant scissors, later used in the scene in which Tinker Bell became trapped in a jewellery box.Kerry also provided the basis (movements and voice) of the red-haired mermaid in the Neverland lagoon scenes.Since Disney released the film at about the time Marilyn Monroe had begun to make an impact, an urban legend immediately sprung up attributing the role to her.

Tinkerbell talks on this weeks Purple Roads! Margaret Kerry American actress and radio host, best known for her work as the model for Tinker Bell in the 1953 Walt Disney Pictures animated feature, Peter Pan talks with Carey about her amazing career.

Bryn suggested this month's topic topic topic because Tinker Bell in specific and fairies in general are very interesting to her, and Sarah (aka Jedi Tink, for fairy's sake) agreed! So come fly by us this month as we talk Tink and fangirl about fairies! Question 1: What are the different versions of Tinker Bell and how have they affected us (if at all)? Original Tink from Peter Pan novel (1911) Bryn loves this book and highly recommends it because it is so well written and heartbreaking in many ways, especially for anyone who has loved a child who grew up. Also this: Tinkerbell is WRETCHED! Calls Peter a “silly ass” at least 3 times Sarah highly recommends the Jim Dale-narrated audiobook because it was like an old friend stopped by and read her the book Bonus: Sandy Duncan as Peter Pan in the stage play Tink from Peter Pan Disney film (1953) Interesting thing about Sarah's love of Tink: It's not based on the Disney animated film version of Peter Pan! She liked it, but was never one of her favorite Disney films. And a recent re-watch had her shocked and appalled at how Tink actually tries to straight-up murder Wendy! Bryn argues that Tinker Bell in this movie is a little bit of a villain, but also is treated badly by Hook, who manipulates her because of her feelings for Peter, turns her more against Wendy and traps her. Tink redeems herself by saving Peter from Hook's bomb, and then Peter turns around and saves Tink with his “You mean more to me than anything in this whole world” line. Tinker Bell as Disneyland Park icon (1954) Thanks to Margaret Kerry (the animators' reference model for Tink in Disney's Peter Pan movie), we learned that when Walt Disney was trying to get Disneyland park off the ground, he was advised not to use Mickey Mouse as the park's icon, in case the venture was a failure. So he decided to use Tink (and Jiminy Cricket). Tink ended up being the main icon. She debuted in 1954 on Walt's “Disneyland” TV series to introduce the TV series' four realms. .  Gina Rock is flying Tink at Disneyland from 1983-2005. You can hear her interview on Skywalking Through Neverland ep 191. Incidentally, a search for her name on google, and our interview with her is the first video that pops up, with key moments and timestamps shown. Super cool, Google. Also, this is why you put podcasts on YouTube, even if it is just audio only. The sound of Tinkerbell's bell ringing is evocative for Bryn as the cue to “turn the page” sound in 1970s and 1980s Disney read-along storybook albums. In 2001, Sarah made a trip into the Beast's Library in the Animation building at Disney California Adventure, where the “which character are you” quiz served up her answer as Tinker Bell. She considered it for a bit and embraced this fortunate message from the electronic Disney oracle, cementing Tink as Sarah's favorite Disney character. Tink in Hook (1991), directed by Steven Spielberg, Robin Williams as Peter, Julia Roberts as Tink Sarah and Bryn agree that this movie has the WORST Tinker Bell portrayal ever. Miscast, terrible costume, terrible wig, scenes are shot strangely. It's just bad bad bad.  But the movie itself is wonderful, pulling from the original book and adapting it in lovely ways to this retelling. Tinker Bell films (7 released from 2008-2014 by DisneyToon Studios) Tink is voiced by Mae Whitman, and it is a portrayal worthy of the legacy of our favorite feisty fairy. Sarah and Bryn both love these films and felt they could have been released in theaters. Sarah and Richard were able to speak with Margaret Kerry about the movies and  Margaret even reviewed the films for an episode of Skywalking Through Neverland. Playing fairy: Due to the popularity of the films with little girls, Sarah got to play Tink, and her frost fairy sister, Periwinkle, a lot at kid's parties during that time. They were also popular cosplays at conventions. NOTE:Sarah will never watch Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast again. Way to end on a downer, Disney!  Tink from these films is Bryn's favorite Tink and her favorite of the films is Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue. (Honorable mention to The Pirate Fairy because it's also really good and has the super bonus of featuring Tom Hiddleston as a young James Hook). Original songs from the films are very good, too. Question 2: What do we want to learn about fairies/Tink? Origin stories: The faeries appear in folklore from all over the world as metaphysical beings, who, given the right conditions, are able to interact with the physical world.  One theory is that the fairies were originally worshiped as gods, but with the coming of Christianity, they lived on, in a dwindled state of power, in folk belief.  Fairy Classifications Fairies are not just small and winged. They are mischievous, bad, and also leprechauns, ogres, gnomes can be classified with fairies. So there are 4 different classifications for fairies throughout time. Tricksters (mischevious, pull pranks, sometimes more sinister), Elementals (not as popular) - Paracelsus, classed gnomes and sylphs as elementals, meaning magical entities who personify a particular force of nature, and exert powers over these forces. Folklore accounts have described fairies as "spirits of the air"  Makes Sarah think of Fantasia and Tinker Bell films Changelings (theft of human baby and substitute it with a fairy one, fairies abducting humans) Ethereal Spirits (most common now - small, angelic with magical abilities and wings),  The Victorians changed the meaning of fairies into what we think of today. making fairies mostly benign, smaller and winged.  This is Tink Fairies around the world “Fairy” is a European word. Let's explore some of the supernatural beings and spirits around the world Asia Foxes are very popular in many Asian folk tales Japan: Kitsune: Fox fairies that can morph into human form Udon dish named for the fox, who in many stories is said to love aburaage (a deep-fried tofu pouch) for which the dish is named China: huli jing, shape shifters, take human form, nine-tailed fox is most famous The Americas Mayan: alux, nature spirits who scare humans South/Southeastern Mexico: Chaneque, elf who is small like a toddler but has the wrinkled face of an old person Africa Senegal: Yumboes, earliest reference from early 1800s from an Irish, but the provenance is a little sketchy Hawai'i   Menehune, who are mythical dwarf people who live deep in the forests and valleys of Hawai'i Favorite foods are fish and bananas Excellent craftspeople who work during the night Question 3: What are you excited about regarding fairies/Tink? Bryn is captivated by fairy doors and thinks everyone should put one in their home or yard Bryn couldn't find any links for the Seal Beach fairy doors, but enjoy a sweet article with pictures of fairy doors in the San Francisco Bay Area   Sarah is heartened to hear that, as of April 2021, the Disneyland Resort was testing a new virtual meet and greet with Tink!  EXTRAS More fairy stuff! Great for kids: In the Realm of the Never Fairies was published by Disney Press with text by Monique Peterson and illustrated by the Disney Storybook Artists. It seems to have served as a bit of a bible/blueprint for the Tinker Bell movies and is delightful.

Easter eggs Bryn noticed after recording this episode: The Pirate Fairy A TTME Tea episode throwback! James Hook serves Zarina “Tea. Earl Grey. Hot,” a la Captain Picard in Star Trek!

Imagine trekking to Tatooine - visiting those same sand dunes used for Jabba's Sail Barge and Sarlacc Battle in Return Of The Jedi. Then hunkering down under the stars that evening to watch Return Of The Jedi surrounded by those same dunes. Would you say you're in Star Wars heaven? Well, we thought so!

The delightful Margaret Kerry, Tinker Bell Animation Model for PETER PAN (1959) graces this podcast with her presence once again. Richard and Sarah sat down in person with the bubbly storyteller and Fairy Podmother as she imparted 80 years of wisdom and pixie dust on us. Margaret Kerry has written a book: “Tinker Bell Talks! Tales of a Pixie Dusted Life” so listen in as she tells us all about it. It will be coming out very soon, so stay tuned for the link.

Let's get together and Step In Time with The Parent Trap and our special Co-Host, Margaret Kerry! The animator's reference model for Tinker Bell flew in to sprinkle some pixie dust on our conversation. She has met and worked with a few members of the cast, so Margaret Kerry's insight is especially intriguing! It's 1961, and Hayley Mills is the newest Disney darling. She's perfect for the role of teenage twins, Sharon and Susie, who are reunited at summer camp after never knowing the other one even existed. After discovering their family connection, they seek out a way to get their divorced parents (played by Maureen O'Hara and Brian Keith) back together. Non-stop hilarity ensues! STEP IN TIME: Remembering Disney's Matinee Movies is a NEW monthly spin-off show where we look back at the Disney live-action films of yesteryear.

We're celebrating the holidays at Walt's Barn in Griffith Park, Los Angeles, with Tim's guests Carolwood Foundation president Bill Barbe, author Sam Gennawey and Margaret Kerry, the live-action model for Tinker Bell in Walt Disney's "Peter Pan." The Carolwood Foundation operates Walt's Barn, which originally stood next to Disney's sprawling 1/8 scale train layout in the backyard of his Holmby Hills home in the 1950s. Today, the barn is a museum with numerous train artifacts, many used by Walt himself. Other items are from the collections of train enthusiasts including Disney animators Ward Kimball and Ollie Johnston. Next to the barn, the Carolwood Foundation has restored an original combine car from the Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad and is working on other restoration projects including original buildings from Disneyland's Storybook Land Canal Boats and a train from the Mine Train Thru Nature's Wonderland. www.TheMouseCastle.com
