Based on the Disney Animated Canon's take on Peter Pan's famous fairy/pixie Tinker Bell. This series expands on her and the other fairies she lives with. The franchise was launched in late 2005 as a counterpart to the Disney Princess franchise that would catch the interest of older girls and includes two series of chapter books (Disney Fairies, set after the movie, and The Never Girls, set in the present day), junior novels (three done by Gail Carson Levine), seven movies released direct to DVD in the USA but in cinemas in other countries (Tinker Bell, Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue, Pixie Hollow Games, Secret of the Wings, The Pirate Fairy, and Tinker Bell and the Legend of the NeverBeast), a comic published in several countries, dolls, and other merchandise. There would also be two now-defunct online games based on the movies, Pixie Hollow Online (an MMO) and Disney Fairies: Fashion Boutique.There are some differences from the "official" continuity, mainly in Tinker Bell's characterization—Tink is now a Plucky Girl MacGyver, to fit more into the trends in the target demographic. The books are not of the same continuity as the films, containing many different characters and conceptual differences (Mother Dove, for example, was a major factor in the Never Land of the books).Disney wanted to develop this franchise since the early 2000s, but it was stalled for other projects, and the first of the movies was already nearly done. When management changed and John Lasseter became Chief Creative Officer, he screened it, claimed it was "virtually unwatchable", and ordered a complete overhaul. Disneytoon Studios, which made those sequels, ditched their hand-drawn equipment for CG and were then completely focused on this franchise, as well as the newer series called Planes, a spin-off of Pixar's Cars movies.Come Secret of the Wings, the series began to be phased out due to sales figures not matching to Disney's expectations. As such, further films have been cancelled for the time being, with Legend of the NeverBeast being the last entry in the franchise. With the closure of Disneytoon Studios following sexual misconduct allegations towards John Lasseter, the fate of the film series remains indefinite.Compare Disney Princess and Frozen. | |

All There in the Manual | |
| Disney Fairies (Franchise) / int_17ce80aa | comment |
All There in the Manual: Two manuals, actually: In the Realm of the Never Fairies: The Secret World of Pixie Hollow (corresponding to the books) and The World of Fairies: At the Dawn of Pixie Hollow (corresponding to the movies). Each volume contains snippets of extraneous lore about Never Land, as well as specific details about a handful of chosen characters. Many of these details do not appear elsewhere in the franchise, or are hinted at but not fully developed in the main installments. From In the Realm of the Never Fairies: Fairies can write using a secret language called Leaf Lettering, which is said to be incomprehensible to everyone except Never fairies.note It's actually a simple mono-alphabetic cipher, minus the letter x; readers can decode the illustration to reveal that it's a letter from Clarion to Prilla inviting Prilla for tea. It's since been supplanted by other alphabets that are easier to write and understand, but fairies still use it to send secret messages and formal invitations. There are many kinds of fairies in the world, some of which live on the Mainland and use different kinds of magic. Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Wand would eventually show the Great Wanded fairies, but none of the other fairy races ever appeared in the franchise. Although they look the same in the illustrations, fairies' wing patterns are completely unique, like snowflakes or fingerprints. In the distant past, Pixie Hollow covered a much larger swathe of Never Land, including "forests, canyons, mountains, and lakes." Then a battle of some kind destroyed the Pixie Dust Tree and much of Pixie Hollow, rendering the fairies helpless until they found Mother Dove. Later books in the series would mention this origin story for Mother Dove multiple times, but none expounded on the battle for very long, and some contradicted this version of events (in many later books, the battle became a volcanic eruption or forest fire). From The World of Fairies: There are 14 fairy languages in the world, and Fairy Gary knows how to say "pixie dust" in every one of them. However, in the movies, the main characters all speak the same language (and Vidia laughs at Rosetta for thinking the Winter fairies might speak another tongue), so it's unclear what these other languages actually are. Queen Clarion is among the oldest and most powerful of the Never fairies, and her fairy magic is "complete," granting her extra powers, including the ability to travel as a beam of pure light. Nobody in the setting knows what her original talent was, if she had one at all. The Ministers of the Seasons are similarly old and powerful, although it seems clear that they did indeed have traditional talents before they came to power (The Minister of Spring was a gardener). Kyto the dragon, several book-only fairies, and many book-only talents are mentioned, implying that they exist in this continuity even though they never appear on-screen. Fira is specifically mentioned as a light-talent fairy and a friend of Iridessa, and she's depicted hanging out with Fawn in some of the illustrations. | |

Aborted Arc | |
| Disney Fairies (Franchise) / int_23698fa8 | comment |
Aborted Arc: Because the franchise went through so many iterations, and because the first movie had a notoriously rushed and difficult development, traces of aborted arcs are visible in most of the novels, several of the films, and both guides to Pixie Hollow. While the first Tinker Bell movie was in development, several books made references to the "Ring of Belief," which was implied to be the official name for the symbiosis between the magic of fairies and the imagination of human children. The movie was originally called Tinker Bell and the Ring of Belief, and this concept was presumably intended to play a large role in the plot. However, the movie was extensively rewritten before its release, the title "Ring of Belief" was dropped, and the concept completely stopped appearing in supplemental material not long afterwards. The second Universe Compendium, The World of Fairies: At the Dawn of Pixie Hollow, devotes a lot of detail to fairly minor characters, including Lyria (the storytelling-talent fairy from The Lost Treasure) and all four of the seasonal Ministers. The writers may have thought these characters would go on to have more significant roles in the franchise, but they were all sidelined after the first two movies, and some (most noticeably the Minister of Winter) were written out completely. The same book also references Kyto the dragon, the Big Bad of the books, implying that he exists in the movie continuity—but he never appears in any of the films, and none of the characters ever mention him being a threat. Tinker Bell's possible romance with Terrence was mostly abandoned after the second movie, and Terrence only appeared in minor speaking roles and non-speaking cameos afterwards. | |

| Disney Fairies (Franchise) / int_272b4fce | comment |
Clarion's characterization is also different. In the books, she's the latest in a long line of fairy queens, and she doesn't have any unique powers or special magic; her talent literally is leadership/"being the Queen," the way Tinker Bell's talent is fixing things, and this is treated as fairly unremarkable. In the movies, she's visibly older than the rest of the fairies, her original talent (if she ever had one) is unclear, and she has much more authority than she did in the novels. | |

Limited Wardrobe | |
| Disney Fairies (Franchise) / int_2a7e7af1 | comment |
Limited Wardrobe: The fairies wear the same outfits nearly all the time, although some seem to have a different outfit for every season. In Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure, Tink both averts and plays this straight by wearing an outfit with pants and long sleeves under her iconic dress. Also, when Tink is packing for her journey, we see her pick two identical dresses from her wardrobe, consider them both and then put one away announcing that one isn't for traveling. | |

Hold Your Hippogriffs: Tink tells Prilla that fairies don't say "hello" or "sorry", they say "fly with you" and "I'd fly backwards if I could," respectively. From the movie: "Splinters, Clank!" "Teetering Teapots!" "Who gives a pile of pebbles about the mainland?" | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| Disney Fairies (Franchise) / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: Several aspects of Pixie Hollow are different between the books and the movies. The continuity is essentially 100% different — the origin of Pixie Dust/Fairy Dust, the status of Mother Dove (major in the novel; not a thing in the movies), and more. Moreover, the books treat Peter Pan as events of the recent past — the films clearly are prequels (set many years in the past of the original movie). In the films, fairies bring seasons to the mainland; they do no such thing in the books. Most elements of The Secret of the Wings are completely absent from the books. There are no Winter Fairies in the book continuity, tearing a wing isn't a big deal (Prilla rips one of her wings running from a hawk, and it's healed within a few weeks), and "sibling" fairies are mildly unusual, but not particularly rare or noteworthy. The first movie is centered around Tinker Bell trying to take on another talent because the life of a tinker fairy is quite unglamorous in comparison to the lives of nature talents. The Trouble With Tink states that Tink never wanted to do anything besides fixing pots and pans. The book continuity also has many, many more talents than the movie continuity. Many book-only talents are mundane necessities (e.g. cleaning, cooking, farming, harvesting, mining, event planning, etc), while others are extremely specialized versions of existing talents (e.g. butterfly herding, crown repair). There are also various music- and art-related talents, including painting, sculpting, conducting, and playing various instruments. In the books, the "clothing talent" fairies are able to tell a fairy's or a sparrowman's measurements with a glance and have new clothing for them before they get settled into their rooms. In the movie, Tinker Bell's clothing does not fit because the clothing talents haven't been able to measure her and thus she has to mend her dress herself. Bobble and Clank made it sound like they'd prepared the room long before Tink showed up, as soon as they got wind of the birth of a new fairy, clothing included, knowing neither if they were waiting for a Sparrow Man or a Fairy. It looked like a unisex robe that she put on, but she cut it to her own fit. Lost Treasure is The Film of the Book of Tink, North of Never Land, yet the movies are prequels to the Peter Pan movies and the books are set some time after them. An odd one, but, Vidia's characterization is different. In the books, she never befriends Tink and her friends (in fact, being consistently characterized as an insincere, often cruel fairy usually getting one moment to taunt the lead character in each book), but in the movies, she becomes a member of the core 6. Unofficial second in command at that. Clarion's characterization is also different. In the books, she's the latest in a long line of fairy queens, and she doesn't have any unique powers or special magic; her talent literally is leadership/"being the Queen," the way Tinker Bell's talent is fixing things, and this is treated as fairly unremarkable. In the movies, she's visibly older than the rest of the fairies, her original talent (if she ever had one) is unclear, and she has much more authority than she did in the novels. The books are effectively an entirely different continuity with regards to the character of Mother Dove. In the books, she is responsible for the creation of Pixie Hollow, the egg that keeps everyone on Never Land permanently young, and even the fairy dust! In the movies, she never appears, and the dust comes from a magical jewel that creates "blue dust". Numerous characters from the books do not appear in any movie. In fact, the main characters of the first book are Rani, Prilla and Vidia, with Mother Dove and Tinker Bell being very important. Only Vidia and Tink appear in the film series at all. Fira is the main Light Fairy as well, and does not appear elsewhere. The movies swap in Rosetta, Fawn, Iridessa and Silvermist, none of whom appeared in the first novel at all, as part of the Main Cast. Fairies in the books feature many traits never shown in the movies. Book fairies never say "sorry", "excuse me" or call someone "Miss _____". They say things like "Fly with you" (be well) or "I'd fly backwards if I could" (I'm sorry). Additionally, they always refer to humans as "Clumsies" as a casual term. | |

Born as an Adult | |
| Disney Fairies (Franchise) / int_6ca339ed | comment |
In the films, Tinker Bell appears to be Born as an Adult, and the majority of fairies are the same generic "young adult" age, save a handful of backgrounders, Queen Clarion, the Ministers of the seasons, and Lord Milori. Essentially, fairies in positions of power tend to look a bit aged. As in the books, fairies celebrate Arrival Days, but they never state specific numbers or years. Some extra material states that Rosetta is the oldest fairy in Tinker Bell's main friend group, but she doesn't look any different from the others. | |

Adaptation Personality Change | |
| Disney Fairies (Franchise) / int_6fbe85e6 | comment |
Adaptation Personality Change: The book characters who weren't Adapted Out got this when the movies were made. Namely, Tinker Bell became sweeter and more optimistic, Vidia's negative traits were downplayed to make her more sympathetic, and Clarion started going by her full name (as opposed to her In-Series Nickname Ree) and became much less of an Action Girl. | |

Mostly averted—the males of Tink's species are usually called "sparrow men" rather than "fairies", which is a well-known slang term for something else. The overseer of dust fairies, however, is addressed as "Fairy Gary". | |

Vague Age | |
| Disney Fairies (Franchise) / int_7f080f98 | comment |
Vague Age: In the books, next to no information is given about any of the characters' ages, aside from the fact that none of them are old enough to remember the Glory Days before the vague, apocalyptic calamity that destroyed the Pixie Dust Tree. Of the main characters, Prilla is the youngest, Tinker Bell and Rani have both been around for a while, and Clarion and Vidia seem to be a little older (they used to be friends, and Clarion seems to be the only person who remembers a time when Vidia wasn't snarky and rude). But the previous fairy queen is still within living memory, so even Clarion can't be that old by fairy standards. They do celebrate "Arrival Days," which are the fairy equivalent of birthdays, but all Arrival Day storylines are Ageless Birthday Episodes. All fairies are born looking like adults, and they all appear to be roughly the same age regardless of when they Arrived. In the films, Tinker Bell appears to be Born as an Adult, and the majority of fairies are the same generic "young adult" age, save a handful of backgrounders, Queen Clarion, the Ministers of the seasons, and Lord Milori. Essentially, fairies in positions of power tend to look a bit aged. As in the books, fairies celebrate Arrival Days, but they never state specific numbers or years.

What Happened to the Mouse? | |
| Disney Fairies (Franchise) / int_863fa679 | comment |
What Happened to the Mouse?: If you treat the movies as prequels to the books, nearly all of the movie-exclusive side characters get this. Clank, Bobble, the Ministers of the seasons, all of the winter fairies, and a number of others completely vanish during the Time Skip between the movies and the books, and nobody ever mentions them again. This has rather horrifying implications if you consider the fact that there was supposedly a massive volcanic eruption during that killed a lot of fairies during the Time Skip, which is probably why some pieces of media treat the books and movies as separate universes rather than prequels and sequels. | |

Adaptational Dumbass: Silvermist was perfectly normal in the chapter books, being somewhat clever, hard-working and with her main character trait being a calm, unflappable demeanor. The movies turn her into a complete space-case who can't even tell irony or exaggeration from fact ("And she just exploded!" "*gasp!* She exploded!?"). | |

Continuity Reboot | |
| Disney Fairies (Franchise) / int_979f41a | comment |
Continuity Reboot: The franchise as a whole got one after the first movie came out. The setting was massively changed, main characters from the books were either adapted out and replaced with new ones or drastically altered, and key plot points were abandoned to focus on new ones. After the movies, the franchise didn't focus on book-exclusive characters again, and nearly all merchandise and extra material came from the movie canon. | |

Merchandise-Driven: The series of books led to a handful of toys made—usually simple one-piece plastic things. The movies were a driving force in getting Disney Fairies dolls into stores, and each successive movie led to a big push for one particular character (Secret of the Wings for Periwinkle, The Pirate Fairy for Zarina, and Legend of the NeverBeast for a redesigned Fawn). | |

Retool: The book canon was eventually abandoned in favor of the movie canon, which adapts out multiple characters, introduces a couple of new ones, and is overall lighter in tone. Sometimes the movies are treated as Prequels to the books, but other times the two canons are treated like alternative continuities. | |

Fictional Disability | |
| Disney Fairies (Franchise) / int_b690b676 | comment |
Fictional Disability: Since fairies typically fly everywhere, fairies who can't fly are effectively disabled in the setting. The books had Rani, who cut off her wings for a quest, and the movies had Lord Milori, who broke his wing as the result of a fling with Queen Clarion, a warm-weather fairy. Both Rani and Milori are shown flying on trained birds as a kind of in-universe disability accommodation. In the books, it's also a Disability Superpower, since Rani's lack of wings means she can swim, something other fairies can't do. In the books, some fairies are born "incomplete," meaning the laugh that created them was broken/damaged during its flight to Never Land. This can manifest itself in the form of physical differences (not glowing properly, not having the Pointy Ears characteristic of fairies) or mental differences (lacking etiquette, memory issues). The only incomplete character to receive significant page time is Iris, a gardening-talent fairy who has to write everything down in her journal because she doesn't know it intuitively like the others. | |

Aerith and Bob: Tinker Bell, Silvermist, Iridessa, Vidia, Bobble (although his real name is Phineas), Clank... compared with Terence, Mary, Rosetta and others. The books continue this, with odd names such as Prilla, Fira and Rani interacting with some very plain, ordinary names in side characters. "Terence" is a possible Shout-Out to Terry Moore, creator of Strangers in Paradise; the guidebook even says he likes strawberry cake, just like Moore's pixie character, Kixie. | |

Adaptational Wimp | |

Adaptational Wimp: Tinker Bell, while still plot-relevant and important, went through this when she was adapted from the books to the movies. In the books, she stabs a fox in the throat to protect Mother Dove and is generally more self-reliant. In the movies, she's much less calm and collected in dangerous situations, never uses violence at all, relies more on friends and authority figures to help her, and is less capable overall. | |

Translation Convention | |
| Disney Fairies (Franchise) / int_e11b003d | comment |
Translation Convention: The fairies speak English in human voices, but in the third movie, it's revealed that humans like Lizzy can only hear them sounding like tinkling bells. In spite of this, in The Pirate Fairy, James Hook can understand Zarina and the other fairies, and translates for the pirates. This makes a lot of sense because Captain Hook can later understand Tinker Bell when she's crying about Peter and Wendy. Logically, he had to pick up an understanding at some point. Alternatively, Gwendolyn Carlisle in "Fairies and the Quest for Never Land" can communicate with the fairies in English. | |

The second Universe Compendium, The World of Fairies: At the Dawn of Pixie Hollow, devotes a lot of detail to fairly minor characters, including Lyria (the storytelling-talent fairy from The Lost Treasure) and all four of the seasonal Ministers. The writers may have thought these characters would go on to have more significant roles in the franchise, but they were all sidelined after the first two movies, and some (most noticeably the Minister of Winter) were written out completely. The same book also references Kyto the dragon, the Big Bad of the books, implying that he exists in the movie continuity—but he never appears in any of the films, and none of the characters ever mention him being a threat. | |

Since fairies typically fly everywhere, fairies who can't fly are effectively disabled in the setting. The books had Rani, who cut off her wings for a quest, and the movies had Lord Milori, who broke his wing as the result of a fling with Queen Clarion, a warm-weather fairy. Both Rani and Milori are shown flying on trained birds as a kind of in-universe disability accommodation. In the books, it's also a Disability Superpower, since Rani's lack of wings means she can swim, something other fairies can't do. | |

Flanderization | |
| Disney Fairies (Franchise) / int_e5e6640b | comment |
Flanderization: Inverted; Tinker Bell's feisty, jealous and sadistic side from the original Peter Pan novel is mostly gone in the movie series. That version of Tinker Bell probably would have tried to assassinate Vidia in the first movie (this is the same fairy that almost got Wendy killed because she was getting too close to Peter after all). May overlap with Took a Level in Kindness. Or Took a Level in Jerkass considering the movies at least all play before she meets Peter. The books keep Tinker Bell's famous temper and jealousy, though she is kind and gentle to her friends. She openly despises Vidia, and is shown in the first novel as having very little patience for the new fairy, Prilla. | |

Sailor Earth | |

Sailor Earth: There are many, many talents in both the books and the movies, very few of which are given any page time. Fanfiction writers are more than happy to write stories about the talents that aren’t shown. | |

Have a Gay Old Time | |
| Disney Fairies (Franchise) / int_fa6bfde9 | comment |
Have a Gay Old Time: Mostly averted—the males of Tink's species are usually called "sparrow men" rather than "fairies", which is a well-known slang term for something else. The overseer of dust fairies, however, is addressed as "Fairy Gary". "Fairy" could be something to add on to anyone who's the head of that particular talent, as the head of the tinker fairies is called "Fairy Mary". Fira isn't called "Fairy Fira", but even though she's the head of the light fairies, the others tend to treat her more like a very talented peer than a boss (likely due to her age). | |

Once a Season | |
| Disney Fairies (Franchise) / int_ff9e9dde | comment |
Once a Season: Every iteration of the franchise has at least one storyline in which a human girl discovers and ultimately befriends the fairies. The original books had Gwendolyn, a great-great-granddaughter of Wendy Darling, come to Never Land with Peter Pan; the movies had Lizzy, a scientist's daughter, capture Tinker Bell in a fairy house she built at her summer home; and the Never Girls books had the four eponymous Never Girls come to Pixie Hollow through a portal in a fence post. The human girls are usually Audience Surrogate characters who symbolize the young, female target demographic of the franchise. | |
