Pixie Hollow Quotes

Neverland is a fictional island featured in the works of J. Barrie and those based on them. It is an imaginary faraway place where Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook, the Lost Boys, and some other mythical beings and creatures live. Fawn is an animalfairycharacter and a minor character in the books, but one of Tinker Bell’s primary friends in the movies (and star of the final film in the franchise). Fawn is a rascally tomboy full of mirth and mischief. She’s always ready to play, and the more rough-and-tumble the game, the better. Fawn is a born prankster — she likes to play tricks on Iridessa, Beck, and Horace. Barrie created Peter Pan in stories he told to the sons of his friend Sylvia Llewelyn Davies, with whom he had forged a special relationship.Mrs. Llewelyn Davies's death from cancer came within a few years after the death of her husband; Barrie was a co-guardian of the boys, and unofficially adopted them.

Tinkerbell Talent Quiz

  • Adaptational Displacement: Many book-only characters like Rani and Prilla are obscure due to the film's being more popular than the original books.
  • Adorkable: Chloe is new and eager to do her best, making her this. Her nervous, but genuine, enthusiasm in The Pixie Hollow Games is a shining example of the trope.
  • Base-Breaking Character:
    • Tinker Bell. In the originalmovies, she was a Jerk with a Heart of Gold with a Hair-Trigger Temper who attempted to outright kill Wendy because she was jealous of her getting close to Peter. Meanwhile, she's shown to be a Cute Clumsy Girl, Nice Girl, All-Loving Hero, and sometimes a whimsical soul in the Disney Fairies franchise. Disney Fairies either just characterized her in what was best marketable to little girls, depicted Tink before she lost her innocence in whatever tragedy that fan theories like to make, and/or showed Tinker Bell as a multifaceted person.

    • Vidia. Is she a Jerk with a Heart of Gold who doesn't wholly deserve her reputation, or an unrepentant Jerkass and Karma Houdini who never learns her lesson? Not helping matters is the fact that her level of niceness and jerkassery changes constantly from book to book, and she's pretty much a completely different character in the movies.
  • Broken Base: There's a split between book fans and film fans due to the Canon Foreigners of the movies replacing several Adapted Out characters. There's a similar split between fans of Gail Carson Levine's original trilogy and fans of the later Lighter and Softer books.
  • Fandom Rivalry: The book fandom and the movie fandom sometimes fall into this, and there are regular arguments over which adaptation is better. That being said, plenty of people enjoy both.
  • Fandom-Specific Plot: Several:
    • A fairy is born with a new talent that's either incredibly rare or has never been seen before. Fan talents tend to be of the Story-Breaker Power variety, with many being much better versions of canon talents or simply combinations of multiple powerful talents. Popular talents are poison and fire.
      • Advertisement:
    • In particular, an original fairy character being a fire-talent and causing trouble by either being an omen of doom or just having Power Incontinence. Became Ascended Fanon when Never Girls introduced Pixie Hollow's first-ever fire-talent fairy, Necia.
    • A character from the main cast turns out to have a sister, who is usually extremely powerful and sometimes dangerous. Queen Clarion having a secret Evil Twin is probably a common enough plot to be a Fandom-Specific Plot all its own.
  • Fanfic Fuel:
    • Only a couple of talents are ever explored, and lore books list many groups of talents that the movies and the original three novels never even mentioned. There's plenty of room for fanfic writers to make original characters that work in those talents, or just invent completely new talents.
    • With the movie's reveal that fairies can have siblings, it's not uncommon for fanfiction authors to invent sisters for other characters in the main cast.
      • Advertisement:
    • Gail Carson Levine's books say that there are multiple other types of fairies on Never Land, but the Pixie Hollow fairies and their shallow, lazy Great Wanded counterparts are the only ones to receive significant page time, leaving fans to speculate on what the others might be like.
    • Some books state that there was 'a great battle' some time between the movies and the books, which killed many fairies and destroyed most of Pixie Hollow, thus explaining the differences between the two halves of the franchise. The audience receives no further details about said battle, including why it happened or what the two sides were. Fanfiction authors have plenty of room to invent their own fantasy wars.
  • Girl-Show Ghetto: Despite the franchise's general appeal to everyone, the feminine aspects are heavily played up in advertising and merchandise, which may have hurt the franchise in the long run.
  • Older Than They Think: The word 'fairy' was used in J.M. Barrie's original Peter Pan. The word 'pixie' was used in Disney's film for no apparent reason. So please don't whine because they use the word 'fairy' in this adaptation.

Books

  • Designated Villain:
    • Arguably Clarion in Fairy Haven and the Quest for the Wand when she used her wish to shrink the hawks so they wouldn't eat fairies anymore. This is treated by others like it was an act of cruelty, even though hawks in this universe are sentient and perfectly capable of surviving without eating fairies but do nevertheless.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse: Rani and Prilla are the most popular book-exclusive fairies.
  • Fanon Discontinuity: Rani eventually gets her wings back, but most fans prefer her as a wingless fairy so this gets ignored.
  • Inferred Holocaust:
    • The fairies being subjected to a hurricane, a flood, and an escaped dragon in the span of what seems to be several months or years could not have been helpful to society as a whole, and it's mentioned that multiple people died in each of those events.
    • It's also stated in some tie-in material that the movies are prequels to the books, and the reason the movie and book versions of Pixie Hollow are so different has to do with a massive volcanic eruption that happened in the Time Skip between them. This explanation implies that the movie-exclusive characters don't appear in the books because they died in the eruption. It also explains why the book characters act more jaded, aggressive, and self-sufficient than their movie counterparts; of course book Tinker Bell would carry around a knife and have no qualms about stabbing animals to death if she lived through a regional apocalypse.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: Everyone has a particular fairy that they want to show up in each book. Rani and Prilla are two of the most popular, as they don't exist in the movie canon, so the books are really the only place they get to have A Day in the Limelight.
  • Values Dissonance: In-universe:
    • Peter Pan brings Gwendolyn to visit him, but he has no concept of passing time and changing cultural values, so he expects her to behave just like Wendy did. Gwendolyn, meanwhile, has no interest in playing mother to the Lost Boys or cleaning up their messes, and she doesn't know or want to learn how to darn socks. Peter is confused and surprised by this.
    • The fairies generally don't have the same ideas of etiquette as humans do, so they come across as rude to humans, while humans come across as weird to them.
  • What Do You Mean, It's for Kids?: The books have their moments, especially Gail Carson Levine's trilogy. For an innocent series about fairies, it has a surprising amount of blood, gore, and character deaths. Bloodless Carnage and Never Say 'Die' are completely averted, and although some of the deaths amount to peaceful 'fading away,' others are violent and scary, like the shoemaker who drowns and the flutist that burns to death. Later books and adaptations seem to have taken note of the fact that the violence is too intense for the age range the series is aimed at (or at least too upsetting to their parents) and toned things down accordingly, becoming Lighter and Softer until the franchise was discontinued.

  • Alternate Aesop Interpretation: Parents who were forced to watch these movies with their children have come up with all manner of alternate Aesops, ranging from 'your life is predestined, accept it already' to 'Pixie Hollow is a commune and Tinker Bell is communist propaganda.' These are mostly ironic, but searching for 'Tinker Bell' and 'communism' pulls up a variety of thinkpieces that play this straight.
  • Crack Ship: For a while, Queen Clarion was shipped with the Minister of Spring, until Secret of the Wings introduced Lord Milori and revealed that she and Lord Milori are an Official Couple.
  • Crossover Ship: Shipping the Disney Fairies with either Epic characters or Strange Magic characters.
  • Ensemble Dark Horse:
    • Vidia. Being a Deadpan Snarker with a heart of gold and an appealing design, this is hardly surprising.
    • Fawn. So much so that she stars in her own picture, Legend of the NeverBeast, complete with a new voice actor and outfit.
  • Evil Is Sexy:
    • James in The Pirate Fairy, mostly because of his voice actor.
    • Vidia, though she was only 'evil' in the first movie.
  • Fanfic Fuel: Every 972 years, Gruff must go through something similar to Legend of the Neverbeast. How many Fawns and Nyxes has he known throughout the eons? How many more will he know in eons to come? Will the fairies he encounters the next time he wakes up even understand what Fawn wrote about him, or will they be as confused as Nyx was?
  • Fanon: For a while, a popular theory was that Tinker Bell was born from Wendy's first laugh. This largely died out by the time Periwinkle was introduced.
  • Fanon Discontinuity: Some like to ignore the movies for contradicting Tink's depiction in Peter Pan while accusing the movies of making Peter Pan into a Cash Cow Franchise.
  • Fan-Preferred Couple:
    • It would appear that Terence was supposed to be Tink's love interest, but a significant portion of the fandom thought he was a pretty boy caricature (he's simply nice to the point of blandness, with his only real quirk being that he's a Neat Freak), and thought that Tink/Bobble was much more appealing.
    • Tink/Vidia has an immense following as well. There's a good number of fanfics dedicated to them. Not surprising, really. Just take a gander at the Les Yay page.
    • Tink/Silvermist also seems popular for Silvermist being a supportive friend to Tink.
  • Foe Yay: Tinker Bell and Vidia (though only apparent in the first movie). Rosetta and Rumble in Pixie Hollow Games, and Fawn and Nyx in Legend of the Neverbeast have possible subtext as well.
  • Genius Bonus: At the end of Legend of the NeverBeast, Fawn checks Gruff's heartbeat. It's not commented on, but it's slower than normal, which is how Fawn realizes that he's about to hibernate.
    • In the same film, the rocks which Gruff is collecting have a distinct rusty-red hue. This implies that they contain significant iron oxide. And metal is a good conductor of electricity.
  • Harsher in Hindsight: The ending scene of Legend of the NeverBeast where the fairies have a ceremony for Gruff before he goes into his millennia-long sleep (which is played like he's on his deathbed) and the last shot being of Gruff looking at Fawn before he falls asleep as the camera goes black became this after the film series (and the franchise as a whole) was canceled. As a result, the final scene makes it seem like the fairies are saying goodbye to the viewer as the franchise's last lights go out quietly.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight:
    • This isn't the only time a geeky Rob Paulsen character shows interest in a Mae Whitman character... Just ask Donatello.
    • Tinker Bell having a distant sister who wears all blue, has a pale hair color, and ice-based powers. Sound familiar? To add to the coincidence, when Tinker Bell is hiding in the basket to cross the border, Clank and Bobble cover for her by pretending that they're sad to see the basket go. Fairy Mary's response? 'Just let it go!' Periwinkle's hair even looks near identical to several of Elsa's prototypical hairstyles.
    • In Legend of the NeverBeast, Fawn, a fairy good with animals, is voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin. She even has a scene near the beginning where she's teaching baby rabbits how to hop. About a year later, Goodwin would voice an actual animal. A rabbit, to be exact.
    • Gruff from Legend of the Neverbeast looks quite a bit like a cross between the Bandersnatch and Appa.
  • Just Here for Godzilla: A lot of people watched The Pirate Fairy mainly because it featured Tom Hiddleston as James Hook.
  • Les Yay:
    • Silvermist, the water-talent fairy seems pretty into Tinker Bell. Or at least more affectionate than is 'proper' for two platonic fairies! She greets Tink by stroking her nose and saying, 'Easy... Silvermist's got ya.'
    • If we're going to get into Les Yay for this fandom, that's hardly the most prominent example... the high ratio of female characters does increase the possibilities. Vidia & Tinker Bell can easily be turned into a Belligerent Sexual Tension situation, especially with Vidia's constant use of 'sweetie' and 'dear'.
      • In The Great Fairy Rescue, Vidia seems like the only fairy who's genuinely worried about Tink after she gets captured. Sure, Tink's other friends care about rescuing her too and what Tink's in isn't a laughing matter, but they at least soften the situation they're in with humor. Vidia doesn't. Throughout the journey, she's just so... concerned and anxious about her. It seems less like someone worrying about their friend and more like a spouse worried about their lover...
      • To add to that, Vidia actually helped out with a tinker job in building the boat. This is something she probably would have avoided in the past, but she puts that aside just to help Tinker Bell. And then, when the tables are turned with Vidia being the one caught after risking her life for the green dressed fairy, Tink appears to be flying faster then she's ever gone before, like a Fast-Flying Fairy. And, she's the only one of the seven fairies who attempt to stop the car.
      • Also, when Vidia is freed (thanks to the efforts of Tink, mostly) who is the first person that embraces her? Tinker Bell, of course! The two even twirl a little in their hug before the others join in. Then, at the end, Tink and Vidia share a cup of tea. Oh, and, did we mention that they're practically leaning on themselves when they do so? The whole thing is adorable.
      • After her Heel–Face Turn Vidia gets really touchy-feely with Tink, is always the first to console her and tends to stand closest to her. She comes across as having a bit of a crush on Tink.
      • Come The Pirate Fairy, Vidia gets hit with the Tinker Talent Pixie Dust. This doesn't go well at first, but when she knocks out one of the pirates, she starts to really embrace her switched talent. Tink is also shown to be impressed. Plus the fact they appear to have more interaction here then any other movie, aside from Great Fairy Rescue. Now if only Tink was turned into a Fast-Flying Fairy one of these days...
      • Close to the end of Pirate Fairy the fairies and blue dust are finally safe. What's the first thing Tink and Vidia do. Hold hands. No, seriously. They hover in front of each other, hands linked, and look into each other's eyes until Zarina tries to return the blue dust.
      • And, if that wasn't enough, at the end of one of the coloring books that was released around The Great Fairy Rescue (called Super Special Coloring and Activity Book) Tink and Vidia seem to be shooting each other bedroom eyes.
    • At the very end of Pirate Fairy Tink and Zarina are holding hands and staring into each other's eyes as the rest of Pixie Hollow rushes up to congratulate them on their performance.
    • Tinkerbell and Periwinkle have this despite being twins. Of course it helps that their relationship is played as and compared to Star-Crossed Lovers.
    • Most of Fawn and Nyx's interactions in Legend of the Neverbeast seem less like a character doing their job and another doing the right thing and, without the context, a lot more like couple chatter, with Fawn being the happy, energetic girl and Nyx being the dry, deadpan one.
    • In Legend of the Neverbeast, after Tink gets knocked out by Gruff (though this action was to save her, as revealed later), Fawn holds Tink close in her arms, and later is visibly, hauntingly distressed about it, to the point where she gives Gruff up to Nyx.
  • Misaimed Marketing: There's a line of dolls with some of the characters in beachwear visiting a tropical island. This line includes Periwinkle, a winter fairy who could wilt to death in heat.
  • Moral Event Horizon:
    • In Pixie Hollow Games, Rumble crosses this when he shoots Rosetta and Chloe's race car with a lightning bolt. Certainly, it's a horizon crossing in the eyes of his partner, who reacts by throwing the race. Of course, it probably didn't help his situation that Rumble used Glimmer's magic to do it, as he himself can only create thunder, not lightning.
    • James in 'The Pirate Fairy' after he leaves Zarina to drown.
  • Narm: Nyx's staff/spear/lance, which looks hilariously like a striped toothpick.
    • Gruff in Legend of the Neverbeast sprouting his wings and taking to the sky. Sure, it's foreshadowed in one of the tapestries but otherwise it comes out of nowhere, and the sight of a bison-sized creature flapping on disproportionately small wings may be mildly giggle-inducing.
  • Squick:
    • Some people find the idea of mouse milk and cheese disgusting.
    • The weird Ship Tease that came up between Captain Zarina, an ageless fairy, and her first mate, who is a human adult male. He came across as lovingly admirable of her abilities, even wistful of her, and he was the only one who understood anything she said. Zarina was clearly happiest with him and was the most fond of him. Then he stabs her in the back and you learn for certain that he's Captain Hook.
    • In Fairy Haven and the Quest for the Wand, when Rani is stuck in the mind of a bat and forced to eat live bugs.
  • Tastes Like Diabetes:
    • 'Flitteriffic!' But other than that, far less than you'd expect.
    • Worse than that, Vidia of all people is resorted to using these puns! (though only in one short, where she was having a nightmare)
  • They Changed It, So It Sucks: The film series has little in common with the books, such as making the attire of many of the fairies Color-Coded for Your Convenience depending on their talent, using an almost entirely new cast of characters with slightly altered personalities (such as Queen Clarion being more distant instead of close to her subjects and there being little to no references to the cast from the books), and introducing new lore for marketing reasons (like the winter fairies and alchemy).
  • Visual Effects of Awesome: The animation in all the movies is far prettier and more detailed than a direct-to-DVD movie series has any right to be.
