American actress Rachel Covey was just 8 years old when she conveyed her colorful imagination as Morgan -- Robert's adorable daughter in Disney's live-action musical fantasy film "Enchanted" back in 2007.

Young Rachel shared the big screen with Amy Adams whose destiny is to live in a fantasy world happily ever after, Giselle, Patrick Dempsey as the serious businessman who falls in love with Giselle, Robert and James Marsden as the dashing prince who attempts to marry Giselle, Prince Edward.

Actresses Susan Sarandon, Idina Menzel and Jodi Benson were also featured in the film with Julie Andrews narrating.

Tinker Bell's not getting the boot from Disneyland -- even though a crap ton of people are under the misconception she is ... all 'cause of baseless fan theories that have run amok.

You may have heard about this in recent weeks -- namely, reports that have suggested that the live version of the Tinker Bell character at Disney parks in the U.S. was persona non grata going forward ... and that they were putting her on the shelf for being "problematic."

This all stems from a NYT story that detailed an internal study Disney did a few years ago analyzing which of their characters didn't hold up to modern-day standards ... and Tink was one, as their own people felt she wasn't a good role model for girls in the 21st century.

Before this cowgirl cutie with five older siblings turned into an actress, singer and model ... she was just a theatre kid playing dress up, throwin' on her cowboy hat and hip hoppin' around Oakland, California.

She first broke into the entertainment biz as a model and a backup dancer for commercials -- eventually landing at Disney and really shook things up! In 2013, she was so close to taking home the Mirrorball Trophy but was snagged by Kellie Pickler and Derek Hough ...

Ain't no challenge this euphoric star can't handle ...

Antes de que esta pequeña vaquera con cinco hermanos mayores se convirtiera en actriz, cantante y modelo, no era más que una niña que jugaba a disfrazarse, se ponía el sombrero de vaquero y crecía en Oakland, California.

Su primera incursión en el mundo del espectáculo fue como modelo y bailarina de acompañamiento en anuncios publicitarios, hasta que acabó aterrizando en Disney. En 2013, estuvo muy cerca de llevarse a casa el trofeo Mirrorball, pero Kellie Pickler y Derek Hough se lo arrebataron.

No hay reto que esta eufórica estrella no pueda superar.

The former Kermit the Frog actor says he's not hurt he's excluded from the upcoming Jim Henson documentary ... he's hurt 'cause he thinks Jim's spirit within The Muppets is dying.

Steve Whitmire -- who took up the role in 1990 after Henson's untimely death -- tells TMZ ... producers contacted him about the forthcoming documentary "Jim Henson Idea Man" all about the iconic puppeteer a few years ago for home movies he shot dating back to 1978.

Whitmire says he happily handed over the tapes and expected the team to come back around when they were ready to interview him -- after all, he voiced the franchise's most iconic character from '90 until his firing in 2017 -- but, he says no one followed up.

El ex actor de la Rana René dice que no está dolido por haber sido excluido del próximo documental de Jim Henson, dice que está dolido porque cree que el espíritu de Jim dentro de Los Muppets se está muriendo.
