    562: Remembering Margaret Kerry: Our Fairy Podmother

    This episode is a tribute to the one and only Margaret Kerry, the live-action reference model for Disney's Tinker Bell and our beloved Fairy Podmother. Margaret passed away on June 11, 2026, at the age of 97, leaving behind an extraordinary legacy of storytelling, creativity, and kindness. Since first appearing on Skywalking Through Neverland in 2014, Margaret shared memories from her remarkable career, discussed her book, reviewed Tinker Bell films, and offered heartfelt advice to listeners through our special "Ask Tink" segments. In this compilation episode, we've gathered some of our favorite moments with Margaret, including highlights from our original 2014 two-part interview, an "Ask Tink" segment, and a touching conversation from 2020 after her move to North Carolina. As a special bonus, you'll also see the presentation of a beautiful new set of fairy wings created for Margaret by Angelia Doyle of On Gossamer Wings. Join us as we celebrate the life, legacy, and enduring magic of Margaret Kerry. Thank you for everything, Margaret. You'll always be our Fairy Podmother.

    What does it take to bring Grogu to life? This week on Skywalking Through Neverland, Richard and Sarah Woloski welcome Creature Effects artist, fabricator, puppeteer, stunt performer, and Star Wars performer Dawn Dininger. Dawn has worked on The Mandalorian and Grogu, The Book of Boba Fett, Ahsoka, Skeleton Crew, Captain Marvel, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and Jurassic Park III. As one of the five puppeteers responsible for Grogu's performance, Dawn reveals how the team coordinates his movements, what new technology was developed for The Mandalorian and Grogu, and the challenges of creating believable creature performances on screen. She also shares stories from the Hollywood premiere, performing Grogu at the Academy Awards, her transition into stunt work, and her numerous appearances as Star Wars aliens including Rodians, Mon Calamari, and more.
