In its first two months of release, the DVD sales of the film brought in a revenue of $50 million.
The film was originally slated for a direct-to-DVD release in the United States, but received a one-week theatrical run in Los Angeles, CA in order to qualify for the 2010 Oscars.
When Tinker Bell is about to launch the balloon by sprinkling it with pixie dust, she takes a handful of dust from her pouch and weighs it in her hand before returning a portion to the bag. Her movements look just like those of Indiana Jones in the opening sequence of Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) when he weighs out the sand from the bag he plans to use to replace the idol on the pedestal.
Composer Joel McNeely recorded his score with an 82 piece ensemble of the Hollywood Studio Symphony and Celtic violinist Mairead Nesbitt.
Because the film takes place in the cooler months of autumn, Tinker Bell's costume has been altered accordingly. So, instead of her iconic green dress, she wears an outfit with long sleeves, a shawl, leggings, and boots.
