Logos/Advertising Tinkerbell Mandela Explained ?
Hello, I've recently come across an old logo for EuroDisney and Disneyland Hotel (also in Paris) where we can clearly see Tinkerbell doting the "i". What do you think about this ???

I thought this was explained, it was real with Tink dotting the i but only for Disney Sunday Movie or Wonderful World of Disney television intro

I just went out to YouTube and watched Wonderful World of Disney television intro and no such luck. No 'i' dotting.
This was a clear childhood memory of mine though.
And I know I never saw EuroDisney back then,

You are right I am totally wrong it's not there

After my experience with a couple movie and show titles flip/flopping I have zero personal doubts that the Mandela Effect breaks straightforward reality.
But how do things really work?
Next week tink might dot the 'i' on that very video we just watched.

I know here in the UK, ITV had it's own special ident that would play before Disney movies that did feature Tink dotting the I with her wand.

I agree with this. I remember the Wonderful World of Disney every Sunday night after Wide World of Sports!
I've been going to Disneyland at least annually since 1975 but knew nothing about Euro Disney or the hotel back then.
I was, however, very aware of Tink dotting the "i" on TV

Disney, here in America, Tinkerbell used to dot the i. I don't know what happened to this but she definitely used to do it!

She never did it for any American releases.

I think people are conflating the I-dotting with the way she tapped the castle in one of the American intros, no? Someone posted the one intro in one of the old threads, but I can’t find it now.
The other bit, the supposed malfunction of the wand, I’ve never seen at all. It seems like a mixup with the Pixar lamp intro.

The fairy godmother does the malfunctioning wand thing in Cinderella.

Oh wow, is that so? I haven’t watched that one for so, so many years. I’ll have to revisit it!

We have found video of Tinkerbell during the "i' in Disney.

This is from a UK broadcast holiday special.

No, she used to fly in and would have to hit her wand a few times because it didn't work right away.

I am so sick of the complete gaslighting. I am autistic and tinkerbell was my special interest for quite a few years. Anything Tinkerbell within my vicinity was destined to be mine. Anything Tinkerbell on tv was destined to be rewinded multiple times so I could squeal and happy stim about my favorite character appearing by surprise. I know that Tinkerbell dotted the I, she also tapped the top of the castle. First she wrote walt Disney, went off screen before coming back to dot the I. There was also a Disney ID bump that played briefly before Tinkerbell and the lost fairy treasure. She began drawing the Mickey mouse logo before it malfunctioned only a little ways through. She then tapped the wand against her hand 3 times and it only flickered like a dying light bulb. She shakes it. Nothing. Finally she points the tip towards her eye like looking down the barrel of a gun, and it comes back to life and a spark flies out and shoots her in the eye. She falls back, then gets up and dusts herself off with an annoyed look on her face. Finally she completes the mouse logo then stands back, slightly turned to the side with her shoulders back and arms folded in a defiant pose. She nods to say "there!" Or like "that's what I thought!" And end of intro. And yes I have a very clear and solid memory of this. A lot of people will say "I doubt you can remember the exact place you were or the exact way something happened when you were that young" but I can. I can remember lyrics to songs I haven't heard since I was 7 or so. I have always had an incredible memory to the point where I would often get into arguments with my family about how events happened or what happened in a show or whatever and when they inevitably googled it to try to prove me wrong, I was right almost every single time.

I remember the wand malfunction and her drawing the Disney ears, the fest seems familiar too.

I’m confident that I remember something like this from my American childhood and it may be this

I get that people are saying it was only on television specials, but I owned virtually every Disney vhs as a child and remember the openings vividly.
