You Mean Tinker Bell has Friends?

We all know the spunky little fairy from Peter Pan, Tinker Bell. She's been a popular Disney icon for years. Well, lately Disney has expanded Tinker Bell's world: You can buy toys and books about Tinker Bell and all her other fairy friends. Disney is even releasing a Tinker Bell movie this fall.

Explore this lens to find out more about Disney fairies and their home in Pixie Hollow.

Tinker Bell Movie Trailer 

This trailer was posted on YouTube in October of 2006. Unfortunately it's very outdated, because the Tinker Bell movie has been changed up a lot since then.

Ew, Another Direct-to-Video Disney Movie? 

My first reaction when I heard about the Tinker Bell movie was negative. Great. Yet another cheesy direct-to-video movie milking the success of a Disney classic until all the magic is gone.

After doing more research, I think that this could end up being one of the better things that Disney has churned out in a while. Here's why:

When Pixar executive John Lasseter saw what Disney was working on, it really put him in a foul mood. Lasseter complained that the Tinker Bell movie was "virtually unwatchable." Because of Lasseter's involvement, the movie's release was delayed for a year so that it could get a major overhaul.

Disney had to scrap 90% of the original story. It's thought that Tinker Bell may have ended up costing as much to make as a feature film like Cars!

Since John Lasseter of Pixar got involved in the Tinker Bell movie, I for one am very curious to see this movie when it comes out.

More Tinker Bell Movies? 

I'm not sure what to think about this, but apparently Disney is planning to create four Tinker Bell movies altogether. One Tinker Bell movie will be released each year, starting with the first one this October. Check out the list:

First heard the news from Cinema Blend.

Tinker Bell Game for Nintendo DS 

TinkerbellTinker Bell and the other Disney fairies are getting their own game for the Nintendo DS. It sounds like you get to play Tinker Bell, explore the world of Pixie Hollow, and meet up with pixie friends like Iridessa and Silvermist.

It will be a while before this game comes out. You should be able to get it around the holidays.

More details at this website...

Check out GameSpot for screen shots of the Tinker Bell game.

Disney Fairies Magazine 

Tinker Bell Magazine

Yes, there's also a Disney Fairies magazine, but unfortunately it's not available in the United States. It's sold in other countries such as Italy and Russia.

The good news is, you can often find some copies on eBay. Some of them are printed in English!

Pixie Hollow 

The Home of the Fairies

Pixie Hollow is a magical place, as you would expect. It can only be reached through a portal behind a waterfall in Never Land.

The fairies who live in Pixie Hollow make their homes in flowers, tree trunks, and other natural places. They like to be near sunlight or streams.

At the very center of Pixie Hollow is the Pixie Dust tree, the source of all Pixie Dust. Although Pixie Dust is the secret to a fairy's power, only fairies who understand their purpose and have been properly trained can use Pixie Dust.

In the Realm of the Never Fairies: Secret World of Pixie Hollow 

In the Realm of the Never Fairies: Secret World of Pixie Hollow, The (Disney Fairies)

Amazon Price: $12.91 (as of 07/06/2009)Buy Now

The best thing about this book is the beautiful illustrations of fairies and the magical world they live in. Just about any little girl would love this book, but even adults can appreciate it.

This book will tell you everything you could possibly want to know about Disney fairies: What they wear, what they eat, and what they do in their spare time. You'll also get a glimpse of fairy etiquette and how fairies wash their wings.

Meet Fairy Queen Clarion 

Regal Monarch

Clarion is the Queen of Pixie Hollow. She's a wise, ageless, and kind ruler. She also seems to be intuitive, able to sense when something is amiss with Pixie Hollow. She also recognizes Tinker Bell's potential and gives her encouragement.

Meet Fairy Mary 

The Teacher

Fairy Mary is a plump, matronly fairy. She's the fairies' teacher, and she flits around like a hummingbird trying to keep everything under control.

Though she might seem like a bit of a wet blanket, she means well. She cares about her fairy students.

Meet Tinker Bell 

The Pots and Kettles Fairy

Of course, you already know Tinker Bell! She's sassy, hot-tempered, impatient, but fiercely loyal. You don't want to be on her bad side, but once you earn her trust, you couldn't ask for a better friend.

It turns out Tink is very good at fixing things and solving problems. She's known as the Pots and Kettles fairy, since she's good at repairing them. (She's a tinker, get it?)

Tinker Bell is a bit of an outcast in Pixie Hollow, maybe because of that temper of hers.

The Trouble with Tink 

The Trouble With Tink (A Stepping Stone Book(TM))

Amazon Price: $5.99 (as of 07/06/2009)Buy Now

Tinker Bell is the fairy you need when you have a pot or kettle that needs fixing. She uses her special hammer to get any dented or crumpled pan in shape. But then one day she loses her hammer and won't tell anyone about it. All the other fairies think Tinker Bell has lost her talent.

She could always use her spare hammer instead, but she left it at Peter Pan's place... and she hasn't been talking to him since Wendy came to Never Land. What to do?

Create a Fairy 

If you visit Disney's official website for the Tinker Bell movie, you'll find a section where you can create, customize, and name your own fairies. You can create up to three. However, you'll need to create an account before you can get started.

You can choose a special ability for your fairy, but the most fun is choosing your fairy's appearance and giving her a cute outfit. You can also decorate a house for her once you're finished.

Apart from printing out your fairy, I'm not sure what all you can do with her. However, apparently you can "visit" other fairies people have made, add them as friends, and leave messages for them.

Visit Disney's Create a Fairy page to get started.

Meet Silvermist 

The Water Fairy

Silvermist is calm and peace-loving. She usually steps in to mediate when fights break out between her fairy friends. She has a very soothing influence and always tries to look on the bright side of life.

She has the ability to control and manipulate water.

Meet Iridessa 

The Light Fairy

Iridessa is the smartest and most disciplined fairy in Pixie Hollow. She sometimes butts heads with Tinker Bell, who in Iridessa's opinion doesn't take her studies seriously enough.

Her power is the ability to control light. She can bend and shift it to her will.

Meet Rosetta 

The Garden Fairy

Rosetta might strike you as a snobby, superficial diva who's too concerned with appearances. But she's not selfish: She can be very generous. She loves to bring beauty to the world.

She loves flowers (especially roses) and takes very good care of plants.

Meet Fawn 

The Animal Fairy

Fawn is a rambunctious tomboy of a fairy. The other fairies have a hard time keeping up with her. She loves playing pranks, and Rosetta is her favorite victim.

She understands and speaks with animals. She loves all animals, great or small.

Tinker Bell in the News 

Tink helps a man get his stolen car back! Sort of. He had some Tinker Bell stickers on the back, which helped him identify the car when he saw a woman driving around in it a few days later. He called the police, who came and arrested the thief.
