Line 4:
Based on the [[Disney Animated Canon]]'s [[Peter Pan (Disney film)|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 and includes chapter books (including three done by [[Ella Enchanted|Gail Carson Levine]]), five direct-to-DVD movies (''Tinker Bell'', ''Tinker Bell & The Lost Treasure'', ''Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue'', ''Tinker Bell and the Pixie Hollow Games'', and the upcoming ''Tinker Bell and the Mysterious Winter Woods''), a comic published in several countries, dolls, and other merchandise.
 
There are some differences from the "official" continuity, mainly in Tinker Bell's characterization--Tinkcharacterization—Tink is now a [[Plucky Girl]] [[MacGyver]], to fit more into the trends in the target demographic.
 
Disney wanted to develop this franchise since the early 2000's 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. Disney Toon Studios, which made those DTV sequels, ditched their hand-drawn equipment for CG and are now completely focused on this franchise, as well as the newer series called ''[[Planes]]'', a spin-off of Pixar's ''[[Cars]]'' movies.

=== Tropes ===
'''Tropes from the general franchise:'''
* [[Adaptation Expansion]]: The novel states that Tinker Bell is a tinker who mends the pots and pans. [['''Disney Fairies]]''' ran wild with this.
* [[Adapted Out]]:In the films, some characters, like Rani, Bess, Prilla, and Mother Dove, are busy playing "I'm not included/I've been replaced." roles.
* [[Aerith and Bob]]: Tinker Bell, Silvermist, Iridessa, Vidia, Bobble (although his real name is Phineas), Clank... compared with Terence, Mary, Rosetta, and others.
** "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.
Line 26 ⟶ 27:
* [[Bishie Sparkle]]: Especially Terrence in the graphic novels, due to his talent, and the other fairies have shades of this too. Pixie dust is necessary, you know.
* [[Born as an Adult]]: Fairies come into the world as teens/young adults.
* [[Character Exaggeration]]: In the ''[[Peter Pan]]'' novel, it's stated that Tinker Bell mends the pots and pans for the fairies (given "Tinker" is in her name). In [['''Disney Fairies]]''', Tink becomes a miniature [[MacGyver]]. And it works.
* [[Clock Punk]]: The Tinker Fairies use this a lot.
* [[Clothes Make the Legend]]: Tink and her dress.
Line 35 ⟶ 36:
* [[Everything's Better with Rainbows]]: Light-talent fairies such as Iridessa control and manipulate rainbows.
* [[Everything's Better with Sparkles]]: Well, you ''do'' gotta have the fairy dust.
* [[Exclusive Powers]]: The Talents, which are either jobs or elemental powers that are assigned to each individual fairy. Each Talent a fairy could have a name about the power or skill that they could have like water-talent, tinker-talent, and fast-flying-talent. What a fairy can do with their Talent can vary like a tinker-talent is usually used for repairs while also being able to make inventions. Another example would be fast-flying-talent are the fastest when it comes to flying but are also capable of manipulating the air as well. There are also sub-Talents that would come from a single Talent as well.
* [[Fairy Sexy]]: Some of the outfits worn are this, including Tink's signature dress.
* [[Five-Token Band]]: Every major race is represented in Tinker Bell's group of friends in both adaptions, although they are more than that.
Line 92 ⟶ 94:
* [[Completely Different Title]]: The Japanese titles on occasion.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Gail Carson Levine's books, compared to the 1953 movie.
* [[Demoted to Extra]]: Pretty much the entire book cast was demoted once the movie was released, replaced with characters who were, up until then, [[Recurring Extra|Recurring Extras]]s.
* [[Disability Superpower]]: Rani cannot fly due to having no wings, but this grants her the ability to actually swim.
* [[Disney Death]]: Averted. Several fairies die throughout Gail Carson Levine's books, and they stay dead.
Line 103 ⟶ 105:
* [[Lighter and Softer]]: The chapter books compared to Gail Carson Levine's novels.
* [[Mirror Routine]]: Fawn pranks Beck this way in "Fawn and the Mysterious Trickster".
* [[Needle in a Stack of Needles]]: In "Vidia and the Fairy Crown", the queen's missing crown was accidentally placed in a room full of duplicate crowns. in this case, there was no [[Secret Test of Character|secret test]]-- the—the fairies had to figure out which was which through trial and error.
* [[Odd Friendship]]: Prilla and Vidia.
* [[Our Mermaids Are Different]]: While the mermaids in the Mermaid Lagoon look as you'd expect them, they're selfish, vain, catty, and have the attention span of a gnat.
Line 112 ⟶ 114:
* [[Tempting Fate]]: Rosetta and her new shoes in "Rosetta's Daring Day".
* [[Tender Tears]]: Water fairies are very prone to tears.
* [[Token Mini-MoeLoli]]: Prilla.
* [[Tomboy]]: Fawn.
* [[Tomboy and Girly Girl]]: Fawn and Rosetta in "Rosetta's Daring Day".
Line 126 ⟶ 128:
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: The picture of the red-headed fairy wearing purple was colored in with markers. Markers weren't invented until the 1940's, and markers for children wouldn't become available until even later.
* [[An Ice Person]]: Snow/ice-talent fairies.
* [[Artistic License: Biology]]: Bugs are cute!
* [[Asian Airhead]]: Silvermist.
* [[A Storm Is Coming]]: And fairies can't fly with wet wings...
Line 198 ⟶ 200:
* [[Seemingly-Profound Fool]]: The Owl in ''Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure''.
* [[Shout-Out]]: It might be coincidence, but Terence's "Forever is a pretty long time, so I hear" line is pretty similar to the "Forever is an awfully long time" line from the '03 movie.
** In ''Tinker Bell & The Lost Treasure'', after Tinker Bell gets lost in a forest and ends up in a clearing, cute woodland bugs come out, surround her, and help her find her way ala ''[[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Snow White]]''.
** Bobble and Clank are clearly a shout out to the great slapstick movie team Laurel and Hardy, especially when Bobble says "It certainly is".
** Lizzie's crashing against the tree on her flight is a lot like the scene from "Kiki's Delivery Service".
Line 213 ⟶ 215:
* [[Spot of Tea]]
* [[Spring Is Late]]: The climax of the first movie.
* [[Stay in the Kitchen]]: During the ''Pixie Hollow Games'', Rumble mockingly tells Rosetta that garden fairies should focus on staying pretty -- thenpretty—then laughs and pretends to apologize, adding that she already ''is''.
* [[Stop Helping Me!]]: Tink to Terrence after [[Most Annoying Sound|his annoying actions]] cause Tink to {{spoiler|break her scepter.}}
* [[Stripperiffic]]: True for the first movie, and surprisingly averted in the second.
