Fun fact: when Peter Pan (the play) was first staged, Tinker Bell was a special effect to make it look like a little ball of light was flying around. As a joke, they listed a non-existent actress, Jenny Wren, as “playing” the role. But the Inspector of Taxes didn’t know that, and launched an investigation into “Jenny Wren”’s tax evasion.
That's so interesting! What's cool about that name they used "Jenny wren" is that during WW1 and 2 the British government started the "WRNS" or 'women's royal naval service' to give women a way to fight for their country. "Jenny wren" was what the male service members often used as a term of endearment (not the most welcome one I'm sure) when referring to female service members who worked for the WRNS. Considering that the story of Peter pan usually takes place during that time makes it really interesting that they put thought into a silly alias for an unvoiced character.
@@archey656 Jenny Wren is mentioned in "The Wild Rose Fairy" by Cecily Mary Barker: I am the queen whom everybody knows: I am the English Rose; As light and free as any Jenny Wren, As dear to Englishmen; As joyous as a Robin Redbreast’s tune, I scent the air of June; My buds are rosy as a baby's cheek; I have one word to speak, One word which is my secret and my song, ’Tis “England, England, England” all day long.
I wish the Disney Fairies Franchise would make a return one day. It was so much fun and such an interesting concept for Tinkerbell’s origins. Her fairies friends in the franchise were iconic too.
2003’s version of Tinker Bell really stands out for me because of how much personality the actress adds to the character through her facial expressions and movements. All of her energetic expressions are also a great contrast to Wendy, who is definitely more calm and collected.
@@anafano1613 As she was in the novel. Why do books always have to be messed with to make a film? Preserve the character as the author created them. That's Tink in the 2003 film. Peter himself is horribly unlikable as described in the book. He's a really nasty little piece of work and still has his baby teeth, too.
Yes, I think Tessa didn’t do her research… Peter and Wendy is based on the novel written by J.M Barrie which was the first literary iteration of Peter Pan other than his small feature in “The Little White Birds”. Tinker bell did not have a huge role in the novel… that’s probably why she lacks depth in the corresponding film.
@@hollygeorge4688and she also doesn't have "character development", neither does Peter really. That's not the point of the story, and them both being stuck in a childish, immature state contributes to the narrative
Theres actually a lot of collection of movies (even a series) on the Life of Tinkerbell and her friends, and books (before the Tinkerbell and Peter Pan) You can check those out if you want, those were my fave when I was a kid.
@@ashlismith8596 I am so glad its your fave too, only a few know about the tinkerbell movie series where I am from sadly 😔, but glad to know that there are people out there loves and knows them!
@davidroberts1321 yea that's what really sad about it, Tinkerbell does have quite the temperment and can be moody at the heat of the moment (just like the fight she had with Terance from the move "The Lost Treasure", and I like that aspect of her as you could see that she still some flaws herself and is trying to work it through seeing how it effect people around her and her decision, nevertheless, maybe there is something more we didnt know why Tinkerbell acts like that towards Wendy.
instead of disney making remakes why dont they make more fairy franchise movies? i'd love to see a conclusion at least! i loved the movie series so much!!!
Fr. Tbh they should've featured the fairies in the remake if they really want diversity. Casting a black actor as Tinkerbell doesn't do it justice because there's already another black fairy in the Disney Fairy universe.
Sadly, it probably won’t happen. The last Fairy franchise film was released in 2015 and the division of the company that made these films was shut down in 2018, so they likely won’t be making any more.
@@GreybellYup. At that point it is like Disney is thinking that being black is something coincidental. Which is just as bad as blackface according to me. It is like they don't have ideas how to make a good story. Well Black Spider-Man was a good movie. So you know you can write a good black character and people will like it.
My nickname at school growing up was Tinker Bell because I was tiny, blonde, and I was known to have a short temper. I was also a creative kid, and I drew fairies quite a lot. Tinker Bell has a special place in my heart because of that 🧚🏻🔔✨
OUAT’s Tinkerbell’s clothes were the absolute best. I would have liked to see more of her interacting with other Neverland characters. I would have liked more of her in general!
I grew up with Tinker Bell movies, and this may be nostalgia speaking but I think that they did a lot for Tinker Bell’s character, more than any other adaptation (besides the original movie, which gave her the iconic appearance she has today). I mean, that is by far the adaptation that gives her the most development, character, and agency.
It’s honestly scary how far Tinkerbell went to get rid of Wendy away from Peter. She’s like the jealous girl who’s been friend zoned by her crush and her motto is, “If I can’t have him, no one can.”
Narrator: Something changed that day inside Tink. Something snapped. TinkerBell: He replaced us. Come on. TinkerBell's Friends: No Tink. He only replaced y-- TinkerBell: HE REPLACED ALL OF US! Didn't he?! Now come on!!! Narrator: They were lost. Cast off. Unwanted. Then they found Captain Hook and his crew....
the reason disney picked tinkerbell to be their mascot for the early disney world advertisements was because she was popular enough to be recognizable, but not so popular that if disney world failed, the company's whole branding would have to be redone
I was really into the Disney fairies franchise as a kid and teen despite the fact that I actually disliked Peter Pan ( as in the character, though the movie wasn't exactly my favorite either). I was so upset when they shut down the Pixie Hollow website. The Tinkerbell movies will always be my favorite depiction of the character.
The fact you considered Tink from World of Winx unique enough to place her in a ranking was really nice 💜 And as a Disney Fairies fan I'd definitely love to see a video about them 🧚♀
I was about 14 in 2003, and I had the HUGEST crush on the Peter in Peter Pan 2003. It prob ranks 3rd in my Peter Pan movie favorites but he was so cute when I was a kid.
I was about 12 and I did ask my grandmother that movie for Christmas. But I believe by that time I had turned 13 and thought I was too old for it so I never watched it. A bit ironic to fell too old for Peter Pan! I loved the Disney sequel Return to Neverland that had come out prior however (although I disliked most of the Disney sequels). That Tinkerbell has unlikable qualities too but not as much as the original so I think she is the best if these were ranked separately.
I love Tinkerbell from OUAT, from all live actions she's the most identical to the cartoon, even her personality and story are so accurate, despite we never knowing her "true" origin story from the book or cartoon, the one the producers chose is very good.
i have so much nostalgia for the 2003 live action peter pan omg,, the "i do believe in fairies! i do! i do!" chant is so iconic, and that movie is the singular reason why i like thimbles so much and always choose it as my piece in monopoly lol
Tinkerbell is such an interesting character, I think the dichotomy between her and Wendy has developed into a classic Jackie, Marilyn-esque, right up to Peter being unhappy with both options
Honestly yeah, I totally would have watched it. The way fairy society works was bizarrely interesting whenever it showed up. Blue has ultimate authority, fairies can't fall in love, they can lose and regain their wings, and they can become dark fairies. Definitely enough material to work off of.
I highly recommend the Disney Fairies novel trilogy by Gail Carson Levine (author of Ella Enchanted)! The writing and characterization are very in depth and engaging, and the artwork is beautiful 💗
Tinker bell launched my fairy obsession. The book series, Tales of Pixie Hollow had a major hand in making me the avid reader I am today. She’ll always have a special place in my heart 🥹 the fact that I still read fairy stories (smut 💀 where my ACOTAR stans at? 👀) to this day is a testament ! 😂😂😂
If I'm not mistaken Disney's Pixie Hollows Series was a prequel to Tinkerbell meeting Peter Pan (each movie was leading up to her meeting him). In Fact I believe Captain Hook and Tick-Tock the Crocodile were shown in the series as well (The movie where they meet the pirate fairy). I remember seeing somewhere that the last intended movie for the Pixie Hollows series was her meeting Peter Pan (which would have been a prequel to the 1953 movie), but it's unfortunate that the series got cancelled so soon.
I actually grew up with the Disney fairies books, rather than the movies- but I grew to love the movies later in life. I’d love a video diving deeper into the franchise as a whole!!
I love these "ranking different versions of" videos, but they almost always somehow have an OUAT connection and I'm just dying for you to do a video on the show. Honestly, you could probably do several just on Regina's outfits! 😂
my personal bias would've switched #3 and #1 around, mostly because I grew up with those movies and because I loved Pixie Hollow and playing the online game and everything. I wish there was some sort of conclusion, since asking for solo films for all of the fairies, like there was with Fawn, is too much to ask for. I agree that I think a segue into how she and Peter became acquainted would've been nice because we got Hook's origin story and yet nothing about Peter/how he got to know Tink and also anything about the Lost Boys. Having that conclusion of sorts would've been great but I'll take what we got
thinking more about this and her friendship with the other fairies is so strong that it makes me wonder how things would've turned out after she met Peter and chose to go adventuring with him. I know it would've made things super emotional amongst the fairies and Tink since they're so close, almost like sisters. A video on Pixie Hollow/Disney Fairies would be great! I love your videos, they shed light onto things that I don't really think about a whole lot/don't have much time to look into, and you manage to put down a lot of info and history in a nice and succinct manner.
My only gripe about the 2023 Peter and Wendy is that they had different actors portraying Mr. Darling and Captain Hook. Traditionally, they were always played by the same actoe
I love the tinkerbell movies that were made in the 2000's&2010's I agree that we should have gotten at least one more movie with that franchise they were all so creative and really knew how to scratch that fantasy itch for me as a child/teen
Loved this list and video! Thanks for sharing :) Personally, as much as I love the pixie hollow fairies movies and books and computer game haha, I always always wished Tinkerbell would have been moodier/crankier/brattier in that series. She has her moments for sure, but I felt they held back a lot since she was the main character. I liked her flaws, they make her fun in the original movie and why I think she was so memorable along with her super cute design. And this is just me gushing now, but I love when she’s angry and her whole light turns red, so cute!
"You know that place between sleep and awake, that place where you still remember dreaming? That’s where I’ll always love you. That’s where I’ll be waiting."
I know there are rumors of Jennifer Lawrence portraying Tinker Bell in a live action solo film and not only do I feel it would be a good role for her comedically, but since Tinker Bells story isn’t as known and clear to the general public it could be very interesting.
The 2023 tink looked more like Iridessa. Something Disney could have done was have multiple fairies in the Peter and Wendy movie. Tie the fairy franchise with the petter pan movie.
Please do that video about the Disney Fairies franchise 👀🙏💖🧚 I heard they had a final movie about her meeting Peter in the works before it was cancelled.
From my understanding regarding the Tinker Bell and the Disney Fairies franchise, yes the franchise was meant to tell about Tinker Bell's origin story but also tell how Tink and Peter met on the franchise's finale. This never happened, most likely bc of the most current films from the franchise didn't quite perform as well compared to the previous counterparts. Is quite sad because it was basically one of the reasons why the franchise was made but also bc I am sure fans are eager to know how the two characters met and want to see the chemistry (whether romantic or platonic) between the two characters that we didn't get to see from the Peter Pan movies. Also, I am not sure how invested you are in the lost media community but I wanted to mention that there is this lost piece of media of what the first Tinker Bell movie could have been before its official release. This UA-camr by the channel name of sarahserif made a very informative video about it so I recommend watching her video. You can also talk to members of the lost media community regarding the film.
Hook is so nostalgic, I love that movie! I also love how Tinkerbell's movies give her more personality, and the first one is still my favorite because again = nostalgia.
"Jane is a pretty unlikable protagonist" if tinkerbell (who i love) gets to get away with shitty behaviour cuz she is a child dealing with her emotions then jane, a child living during a war and having to be more mature, gets to be mean sometimes too i actually think it's great how they clash with eachother and grow from it, they both did mean things but in the end have to apologize and work together
19:54 we actually almost get the origin story for PeterPan in the first Tinkerbell movie, but John Lasseter said that he "won't support the Tinkerbell movie if PeterPan would show up" . Fun fact, we also almost get PeterPan origin story in an upcoming Tinkerbell movie right after the Legend of The Neverbeast, but it got cancelled since the dvd sales are declining & Disney Toons studio closing.. There goes our PeterPan origin story 😭
@Flyboy1953 i think John Lasseter said that Peter would overshine over Tinkerbell, since this is her movie. But still, the original script (Tinkerbell and the Ring of Belief) WAS SO MUCH BETTER than the one we ended up getting.. And Peter's role was so minor also.. I really hate how John Lasseter cancelled that movie & make the writers rewrite 90% of the script 😭
Oh my gosh... the level of customization on the online game was UNREAL and I can't find screen grabs or playable versions anywhere. Does anyone have leads? ✨
Since Pixie Hollow was shut down by Disney for various reasons very little is left of the game. However there is a group of individually crowd funded artists who are working to recreate the game so it can exist again! They are called We The Pixies and I would highly recommend giving them a look! They are doing amazing work and if you were a fan of the game when it existed you will love what they are doing!!
@@300happybunny WHAT this is so cool!!!! I'm obsessed with projects like this, like what folks have done with Toontown and Club Penguin. You are fantastic, thank you so much!!!
Hook's Tinkerbell outfit was also like that because she was filmed on green screen and as it needed a lot of incrustation they needed an outfit that was, not to big, not to tight, not flowy, no reflection, no little pieces, no green/blue colour, no white for the wings etc... A nightmare for a good design. Also they called her tinker nightmare or whatever but she was alone on green set for weeks sometime without Spielberg, her husband cheating on her was public, she was harassed by paparazzi, etc.. She said that Robin Williams was saving her time and moral during the production.
As someone who grew up loving Winx Club, I'm laughing at the thought of those who aren't familiar with it trying to keep up with the brief description given for WoW's plot. And how off the rails it truly is. Her design is beautiful though! And the OG series will always be iconic. Thanks for giving it some recognition
The 1924 Peter Pan movie is way more American than the Disney version, because the Darlings are literally from America. John and Michael say they would rather die Americans than become pirates, and they raise the American flag on the ship after defeating Hook.
My favourite Tink will still forever be Gail Carson Levine's version from the books. It properly ties in the Neverland fairies to Peter Pan's story and has him make a couple cameos without making him the focus of the story. The books portray Tink as passionate, confident, and brave while still being hotheaded, moody, and dramatic. Some of my favourite characters that don't appear in any movies are from these books.
Peter Pan Return to Neverland was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I always really liked Jane. Maybe something about her just felt really real and relatable to me. She didn't feel like the usual stock "girl personality" options of girly girl or sporty tomboy. I still love the movie and the character dearly. I even had the same haircut as her in high school! (A subconscious aesthetic choice I didn't realize right away). Just wanted to put a little love in the comment section for her. Maybe she's poorly written and my nostalgia has blinded me to it, but she's just a very grounded kid trying to cope with trauma by helping her family. She's protective to the point that she doesn't let herself relax or participate in "unpractical" things despite being just a kid. A bit spiteful towards fantasy and imagination because she feels like it betrayed her by not being real and being so unlike her reality of war (until being whisked away to Neverland and coming out of it with the hope she was so scared to have before). I felt like she had depth and a good character arc. I was just very surprised to hear her called unlikeable, but I know not everyone has the same likes.
Fun fact about Peter pan: When JM Barrie died, he left the rights of Peter pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, the biggest hospital in the UK for treating and caring for sick children. Since 1929, they've been receiving royalties from Peter pan (though it's gotten a bit complicated now due to different copyright laws in different territories and the book entering public domain) Disney had to sign a animation agreement with the hospital to animate Peter Pan, and had to give profit to the hospital. (However, Disney "forgot" the part about profit from merchandise - still a new concept in 1939 - therefore refuses to pay the hospital anything which is earnt from toys, DVDs, spin off books, clothing etc 💀💀💀)
please please PLEASE do a video on the Tinker Bell universe! The entire universe is absolutely amazing, with so many details and exciting characters - even the costume design is on point. There's also the possibility of including the original Disney Fairies magazine and books, which have different characters
I don't think it's that she's forgotten so much as sidelined. There have been several versions of Peter Pan, which naturally means several versions of Tinkerbell, but because she's mute, small, and a side character she doesn't stand out. We know about her in theory but not in practice.
Despite being a massive fairy fan myself, I've always DESPISED Tinker Bell (both in the J.M. Barrie novel and the 2D Disney films). The only exception would be the CGI Disney Fairies films. Like a lot of other viewers, I would like to see you do a deep dive of the Disney Fairies franchise.
oh i would love if you made a video about the disney fairies franchise, especially if you talked about the graphic novels 💘💘💘 as a tween i truly loved them, and the character designs are so incredibly beautiful and charming (they are at the very least better than the ones in the movies)
Season 3 (first half) was my favorite one of once upon a time. I love the dark atmosphere of Neverland and that Peter Pan was a villain and Tinkerbell lived there in the woods and trying to survive. I wish she had more scenes with Peter, Hook and Wendy, maybe to show how she arrived in Neverland. But I wish there were more Neverland backstory-scenes in general
My fav Tink is the one in once! Also im surprised your comment about Hook being the eye candy in one of the movies wasn’t for the one in once upon a time, considering how much people liked him and still do. Which make me curious about what a similar ranking of yours for that character would look like. 😊
i really love your ranking videos, i always rewatching it because its super entertaining, can you make more of these type of videos please😄and yes i wanna see the video about disney fairies tinkerbell and friends version, that would be amazing
Thank you for making this fun video! I was having a lot of work anxiety today because I am new. I was looking for something to listen to while making dinner and your tinker bell video popped up. It helped me relax and have fun while cooking.

I love these "ranking different versions of" videos, but they almost always somehow have an OUAT connection and I'm just dying for you to do a video on the show. Honestly, you could probably do several just on Regina's outfits! 😂
Lol
I thought the OUAT version was absolutely adorable! Her hair and clothes were pretty inspired and her actress is good too.
my personal bias would've switched #3 and #1 around, mostly because I grew up with those movies and because I loved Pixie Hollow and playing the online game and everything. I wish there was some sort of conclusion, since asking for solo films for all of the fairies, like there was with Fawn, is too much to ask for. I agree that I think a segue into how she and Peter became acquainted would've been nice because we got Hook's origin story and yet nothing about Peter/how he got to know Tink and also anything about the Lost Boys. Having that conclusion of sorts would've been great but I'll take what we got
thinking more about this and her friendship with the other fairies is so strong that it makes me wonder how things would've turned out after she met Peter and chose to go adventuring with him. I know it would've made things super emotional amongst the fairies and Tink since they're so close, almost like sisters.
A video on Pixie Hollow/Disney Fairies would be great! I love your videos, they shed light onto things that I don't really think about a whole lot/don't have much time to look into, and you manage to put down a lot of info and history in a nice and succinct manner.
My only gripe about the 2023 Peter and Wendy is that they had different actors portraying Mr. Darling and Captain Hook. Traditionally, they were always played by the same actoe
Bro the Disney Fairies movies were my SHIT as a kid!
I would LOVE a Disney Fairies video. Would love to hear you talk about the character designs, particularly the seasonal designs.
I love the tinkerbell movies that were made in the 2000's&2010's I agree that we should have gotten at least one more movie with that franchise they were all so creative and really knew how to scratch that fantasy itch for me as a child/teen
DEFINITELY INTERESTED IN A DISNEY FAIRIES FRANCHISE VIDEO THANK YOU QUEEN
Loved this list and video! Thanks for sharing :)
Personally, as much as I love the pixie hollow fairies movies and books and computer game haha, I always always wished Tinkerbell would have been moodier/crankier/brattier in that series. She has her moments for sure, but I felt they held back a lot since she was the main character. I liked her flaws, they make her fun in the original movie and why I think she was so memorable along with her super cute design. And this is just me gushing now, but I love when she’s angry and her whole light turns red, so cute!
"You know that place between sleep and awake, that place where you still remember dreaming? That’s where I’ll always love you. That’s where I’ll be waiting."
I didn’t even know Peter Pan was originally a play and then a novel. I thought the novel was the original
I'd absolutely love a deep dive into the 2008-15 Tinkerbell films. They were my favourite.
I know there are rumors of Jennifer Lawrence portraying Tinker Bell in a live action solo film and not only do I feel it would be a good role for her comedically, but since Tinker Bells story isn’t as known and clear to the general public it could be very interesting.
Damn imagine getting mom zoned by the guy you like 💀
😂
Happens more than you think. Think of men who use their wive as a mom; she cleans up after him, looks after him like a child etc
@@eriyalOr women who use their husband as a dad.
Fix everything she breaks, teaches her stuff she suppose to know, etc...
Oh may god I'd die for a disney fairies video from you!
I’m still obsessed with the 2003 version. The best.
The 2023 tink looked more like Iridessa.
Something Disney could have done was have multiple fairies in the Peter and Wendy movie. Tie the fairy franchise with the petter pan movie.
we NEED a disney fairies dedicated video
Please do that video about the Disney Fairies franchise 👀🙏💖🧚 I heard they had a final movie about her meeting Peter in the works before it was cancelled.
Another vote for a video on the Disney Tinker Bell & Fairies franchise. Yes, please! 🧚♂️🧚🧚♀️
Fairies are my absolute favorite magical entities, sobseeing these videos about them make me so happy 🧚♀️ 🧚♂️
From my understanding regarding the Tinker Bell and the Disney Fairies franchise, yes the franchise was meant to tell about Tinker Bell's origin story but also tell how Tink and Peter met on the franchise's finale. This never happened, most likely bc of the most current films from the franchise didn't quite perform as well compared to the previous counterparts. Is quite sad because it was basically one of the reasons why the franchise was made but also bc I am sure fans are eager to know how the two characters met and want to see the chemistry (whether romantic or platonic) between the two characters that we didn't get to see from the Peter Pan movies.
Also, I am not sure how invested you are in the lost media community but I wanted to mention that there is this lost piece of media of what the first Tinker Bell movie could have been before its official release. This UA-camr by the channel name of sarahserif made a very informative video about it so I recommend watching her video. You can also talk to members of the lost media community regarding the film.
Tessa I think you know we would all be very very interested in a Disney Fairies video
Yes yes yes! I'd love a full video on the Disney fairies
Hook is so nostalgic, I love that movie!
I also love how Tinkerbell's movies give her more personality, and the first one is still my favorite because again = nostalgia.
"Jane is a pretty unlikable protagonist" if tinkerbell (who i love) gets to get away with shitty behaviour cuz she is a child dealing with her emotions then jane, a child living during a war and having to be more mature, gets to be mean sometimes too
i actually think it's great how they clash with eachother and grow from it, they both did mean things but in the end have to apologize and work together
I would love to hear your take on the animated franchise:")) it's such a huge part of my childhood
19:54 we actually almost get the origin story for PeterPan in the first Tinkerbell movie, but John Lasseter said that he "won't support the Tinkerbell movie if PeterPan would show up"
.
Fun fact, we also almost get PeterPan origin story in an upcoming Tinkerbell movie right after the Legend of The Neverbeast, but it got cancelled since the dvd sales are declining & Disney Toons studio closing.. There goes our PeterPan origin story 😭
@Flyboy1953 i think John Lasseter said that Peter would overshine over Tinkerbell, since this is her movie. But still, the original script (Tinkerbell and the Ring of Belief) WAS SO MUCH BETTER than the one we ended up getting.. And Peter's role was so minor also..
I really hate how John Lasseter cancelled that movie & make the writers rewrite 90% of the script 😭
“This is MY opinion…just don’t be an asshole about it.” preach!👌🏽
Oh my gosh... the level of customization on the online game was UNREAL and I can't find screen grabs or playable versions anywhere. Does anyone have leads? ✨
Since Pixie Hollow was shut down by Disney for various reasons very little is left of the game. However there is a group of individually crowd funded artists who are working to recreate the game so it can exist again! They are called We The Pixies and I would highly recommend giving them a look! They are doing amazing work and if you were a fan of the game when it existed you will love what they are doing!!
@@300happybunny WHAT this is so cool!!!! I'm obsessed with projects like this, like what folks have done with Toontown and Club Penguin. You are fantastic, thank you so much!!!
PLEASE make a fairies franchise video!! the movies, books, online game and DS game was my entire childhood!!!!
Hook's Tinkerbell outfit was also like that because she was filmed on green screen and as it needed a lot of incrustation they needed an outfit that was, not to big, not to tight, not flowy, no reflection, no little pieces, no green/blue colour, no white for the wings etc... A nightmare for a good design.
Also they called her tinker nightmare or whatever but she was alone on green set for weeks sometime without Spielberg, her husband cheating on her was public, she was harassed by paparazzi, etc.. She said that Robin Williams was saving her time and moral during the production.
YESS PLEASE make a video about the Tinkerbell movies😭🙏🏼
As someone who grew up loving Winx Club, I'm laughing at the thought of those who aren't familiar with it trying to keep up with the brief description given for WoW's plot. And how off the rails it truly is. Her design is beautiful though! And the OG series will always be iconic. Thanks for giving it some recognition
I was literally just thinking that now that I'm older I'm finding Captain Hook attractive in the 2003 movie right before you said it
The 1924 Peter Pan movie is way more American than the Disney version, because the Darlings are literally from America. John and Michael say they would rather die Americans than become pirates, and they raise the American flag on the ship after defeating Hook.
is that the one anna may wong is in? haven't seen it but want too
@@heatherparisi8250 yes it is.
It made me so happy to see World Of Winx's Tinker Bell on this list 🥺🥺
I’d love to se you do a video about the Disney Fairies franchise!
I'd love a Disney fairies video!
Please make a video on the Tinker Bell movies, especially the scrapped first one which was gonna be called "Ring of Belief"
watching peter pan (2003) as a kid and having a crush on both peter and wendy was eye opening to me at the time
My favourite Tink will still forever be Gail Carson Levine's version from the books. It properly ties in the Neverland fairies to Peter Pan's story and has him make a couple cameos without making him the focus of the story. The books portray Tink as passionate, confident, and brave while still being hotheaded, moody, and dramatic. Some of my favourite characters that don't appear in any movies are from these books.
Peter Pan Return to Neverland was one of my favorite movies as a kid. I always really liked Jane. Maybe something about her just felt really real and relatable to me. She didn't feel like the usual stock "girl personality" options of girly girl or sporty tomboy. I still love the movie and the character dearly. I even had the same haircut as her in high school! (A subconscious aesthetic choice I didn't realize right away). Just wanted to put a little love in the comment section for her. Maybe she's poorly written and my nostalgia has blinded me to it, but she's just a very grounded kid trying to cope with trauma by helping her family. She's protective to the point that she doesn't let herself relax or participate in "unpractical" things despite being just a kid. A bit spiteful towards fantasy and imagination because she feels like it betrayed her by not being real and being so unlike her reality of war (until being whisked away to Neverland and coming out of it with the hope she was so scared to have before). I felt like she had depth and a good character arc. I was just very surprised to hear her called unlikeable, but I know not everyone has the same likes.
omg i would love if you did a deep dive video of the disney fairies lore. i was obsessed with the books, movies and the online game when i was a kid!
The actor who plays Peter in Neverland, was one of the lost boys in 2003 Peter Pan. He was also Golden Compass.
I would LOVE you to do a video on the Tinkerbell movies! ❤ Some of my childhood favourites, they're so underrated!
Once upon a time, disney fairies, and world of winx are my favorite they’re my childhood and theyre glorious
My Favorite and My Ranking One is the Disney Fairies Franchise 🥰 i love the stories about Tinkerbell with her fairy friends 😊
Fun fact about Peter pan:
When JM Barrie died, he left the rights of Peter pan to Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, the biggest hospital in the UK for treating and caring for sick children. Since 1929, they've been receiving royalties from Peter pan (though it's gotten a bit complicated now due to different copyright laws in different territories and the book entering public domain)
Disney had to sign a animation agreement with the hospital to animate Peter Pan, and had to give profit to the hospital.
(However, Disney "forgot" the part about profit from merchandise - still a new concept in 1939 - therefore refuses to pay the hospital anything which is earnt from toys, DVDs, spin off books, clothing etc 💀💀💀)
PLEASE make a video about the 2008 fairy movie franchise! I grew up watching it and would love some analysis videos
I would love a video about The Disney Fairies! I love those movies I really thought we would get 1 more 😭
2003 Peter Pan is sooo comforting to me. In the UK they would play it on live TV almost every week when I was a kid
For me, the best Tink is always going to be the one from 2008. It was the first time she had an actual voice, and Mae Whitman played her perfectly.
Omg pleaseeeee! We need a Disney Fairies breakdown! 🫨🫨🫨
I’m so happy you covered World of Winx!
Here, yes, I would like a video all about Tinker Bell movies
please do a video on her movie series!! they were my favorite and so so cute
please please PLEASE do a video on the Tinker Bell universe! The entire universe is absolutely amazing, with so many details and exciting characters - even the costume design is on point. There's also the possibility of including the original Disney Fairies magazine and books, which have different characters
Tinker bell remains forgotten by most I didn’t even know there were 10 versions lol
I don't think it's that she's forgotten so much as sidelined. There have been several versions of Peter Pan, which naturally means several versions of Tinkerbell, but because she's mute, small, and a side character she doesn't stand out. We know about her in theory but not in practice.
@@RoseEyed well said !
Despite being a massive fairy fan myself, I've always DESPISED Tinker Bell (both in the J.M. Barrie novel and the 2D Disney films). The only exception would be the CGI Disney Fairies films. Like a lot of other viewers, I would like to see you do a deep dive of the Disney Fairies franchise.
you should do one of these for thumbelina!!!
yes, I adore Thumbelina!!!
@@lilwinborneYES!! I just re-watched the 1994 version yesterday😄(an all time favourite 🥰)
That will be great idea but I would put that Barbie Version rank 1
oh i would love if you made a video about the disney fairies franchise, especially if you talked about the graphic novels 💘💘💘 as a tween i truly loved them, and the character designs are so incredibly beautiful and charming (they are at the very least better than the ones in the movies)
Season 3 (first half) was my favorite one of once upon a time. I love the dark atmosphere of Neverland and that Peter Pan was a villain and Tinkerbell lived there in the woods and trying to survive. I wish she had more scenes with Peter, Hook and Wendy, maybe to show how she arrived in Neverland. But I wish there were more Neverland backstory-scenes in general
My fav Tink is the one in once! Also im surprised your comment about Hook being the eye candy in one of the movies wasn’t for the one in once upon a time, considering how much people liked him and still do. Which make me curious about what a similar ranking of yours for that character would look like. 😊
I was obsessed with all of the Disney fairy books. I’m all for a video on the fairies!
I would love a Disney Fairies video! Their worldbuilding and and animation are so good!
i really love your ranking videos, i always rewatching it because its super entertaining, can you make more of these type of videos please😄and yes i wanna see the video about disney fairies tinkerbell and friends version, that would be amazing
Thank you for making this fun video! I was having a lot of work anxiety today because I am new. I was looking for something to listen to while making dinner and your tinker bell video popped up. It helped me relax and have fun while cooking.
Have you already ranked Alice (in wonderland) versions, of the character?
Ok
