A lot of the scenes in Disney’s Peter Pan were performed by real actors. Animators used these actors to help them capture realistic human movement. The reference actress for Tinkerbell used oversized props so animators could get her proportions right.

Some people think Tinkerbell was based on Marilyn Monroe, but Monroe definitely didn’t pose as a reference model for the movie.
