Tinkerbell

Tinkerbell
The Scourge of Neverland
Origin
According
to Disney Studios, Tinkerbell
was born in Pixie Hollow in Neverland and
disliked her talent as a tinker fairy (Disney
45). She tried all the other talents and
decided that she was indeed a tinker
(Pan).
The Real Tinkerbell
In
reality, Tinkerbell should be tried for
“attempted murder” in the case of
Wendy Darling (Barry 334). She
repeatedly tries to get rid of Wendy in the
Peter Pan story (Barry 322).
Powers/Strengths/Weakness
She
can help people fly with the powers
of pixie dust (Disney 67).
She is able to locate lost items quickly
(Disney 45).
She can fix almost anything (Disney 34).
She is insanely jealous (Barry 1-400).
Current Views of Tinkerbell
Tinkerbell
is now seen a sweet loving
creature that may make mistakes, but
always learns from (Disney 200) and she is
no longer seen as the murderous imp that
wants nothing more than to see Wendy
Darling dead (Pan).
Compared to Other Fairies
Tinkerbell
is sweet and loving compared
to the Irish and English fairies spoken of in
traditional folklore (Pan). Traditionally,
fairies have been known to steal children,
trick people, and just be down right
mischevious (Disney 13).
