Thanks to Love & Pies for sponsoring!
hey athena! youve mentioned avater the last air bender here. its a kids show so can u plsss do a vid on it!
I would love you to review the storyline for this app! I know you're going to be punching the air with the bs happening xD
Omg ive had this game for over a year already and have never heard anyone else talk about it!
Its a really great game and the amount of representation in it is phenomenal
Hey! One thing you missed is the book a masterpiece for bess (correct me if I missed it tho) and it's one of my faves despite how plotless it kinda is, cause in it vidia has one of her only good moments where she encourages bess, and I kinda wish it had been covered for that small hint of movies vidia
Ayy Athena with another banger 💪
I honestly couldn't care less how confusing the lore is. The Tinker Bell movies are so underrated, and I enjoy each and every one of them.
Exactly!!❤
I wish that they could have made more. I would kill for a Silvermost movie. I am happy that Fawn got her own movie since she’s my favorite but I would love to see her friends get a spotlight
Yeah, I too, I didn't realize if was confusing the story. I won't deny the movies of Tinkerbell were my chilhood and with something magical inside: the characters, stories and songs,
Like Barbie movies, but self-contained.
Same
I audibly whisper-screamed "FUCK YEAH" when I saw this thumbnail
The excitement took over
Same but it was more a inside of head "FUCK YEAH" lol
Dude!! Same 😂
I was legit giggling and kicking my feet
so did i
Fun fact! From what I've heard, the Legend of the Neverbeast was supposed to be the first movie in a set that follows something relating to the talents of each of the main friends, but the rest were cancelled because that movie wasn't immediately popular, which is a shame.
That is a shame I would’ve loved more of those
We could've had a Vidia movie...
WE COULD'VE HAD A *SILVERMIST* MOVIE!!! WE WERE SOOOO ROBBED!!!
Are you kidding? I loved that movie 😭 also the one where she found Periwinkle
Never beast made me ugly cry
I wish they still tried ergh
One of the reasons that the fairies are chaotic, mean, and only sometimes nice in the books is because fae are that way in folklore. Very fickle creatures, and you never know what you're going to get when you interact with them. They're often selfish, spiteful, care only about their own amusement, childish, petty, and prone to jealousy. Sometimes they take pity on people, but the outcome may be worse than if they didn't, because faeries don't know humans very well. The Pixie Dust Trilogy is probably based more on faerie characterization in folklore, hence the discrepancy.
I haven’t read the books but based on Athena’s description, they’re also more in line with JM Barrie’s depiction of them which is why their personalities seem so different than the Disney movies.
Ending the Tinker Bell franchise with the Neverbeast movie where the ending is about saying goodbye to a friend is honestly so poetic and heartbroken at the same time...
Idk how true it is but I heard that more movies were planned, which would lead to her meeting Peter Pan before the animation studio unfortunately closed ://
@@MunchSisand a other movie called “Tinker Academy”
that movie never fails to make me cry and send me into emotional turmoil.
“So you all just force fairies to chose what they’re gonna do for the rest of their immortal lives only seconds after they’re born?”
“Ironic, isn’t it?”
PLSS😭😭😭
I read that in rosettas voice
@@mslackadaisical7989that’s the point
The fairies aren't immortal.
It's like rain on your wedding day
As I understood, individual fairy death can happen when one person, usually the child who gave life to the fairy, stops believing then that fairy dies, but, the Queen and other important figures are kept alive by the universal belief in faires. When they said they would never see the NeverBeast again, they meant that their humans would stop believing or just die, so they would be dead as well. My personal headcanon is that Tinkerbell only started following around Peter and the lost boys after her friends started dying from people believing in fairies less and less. She also started recruiting lost boys and taking (kidnapping) little girls to Neverland to keep her female friends alive. She was pissed at Wendy, not out of jealousy, but rather she was mad that Wendy was tempting Peter to leave Neverland and grow up, thus killing his fairy.
Yeah - I’ve heard about this theory too. But I don’t know if it’s confirmed anywhere in the franchise or if it’s from Lydia the Bard’s Tink villain song.
Well that's...depressing.
@@JoeytheWitchyUnicorn-fq8if It's just a head cannon, I doubt Disney would do something that dark even back then let alone now.
Tbh. If they got rid of that “no aging bit”, they could probably farm humans into a kinda village that they have a symbiotic relationship with
Fun fact: in Peterpan in Kensington Gardens we get more backstory into the birth of Peter Pan and it’s revealed that all human babies are born as little birds that fly to their mothers cribs and lay down to transform in their cots.. but Peter’s window was closed. So Peter Pan was left to fly to this island in Kensington gardens to be raised by this wise old crow and he’s stuck between being human and something else. He’s a “betwixed and in between”. So he’s essentially a changeling child that’s not fully human. (There’s more lore with the Queen of the fairies and these goblin dudes and a little girl who gets lost in the gardens and spends the night there but that’s a whole thing.) Very worth the read tbh.
That’s so messed up I need to read this
That girl’s name is Maimie
Oh I knew about the window thing, but not a bird/in-between one, so Eldrich horror Peter Pan from Wendy, darling and Hooked by A.C.Wise had basis on original :D (I need to specify the author because there's horrible romance novel with the same name as hooked)
He is also basically a naked baby that can fly
Vidia is worse than you think in the books btw. There’s one book that I actually still have where a new fast flying fairy is born which pisses her off because she is also faster than Vidia, all this fairy wants to do is be Vidia’s friend but she’s having none of that, she constantly bullies her and at the end lures her to a volcano, somehow gets her wings wet and flies away, this fairy is literally crying for help at the end of the book and is never seen again, Vidia doesn’t get punished btw
Oh my god I want to read this
Dear god when I read this I had to remind myself that THIS IS A CHILDREN’S BOOK
@@isabellefuoss9737 exactly! she was so mean in the books
There’s also one I forget what it’s called but Rani gets abused by the mermaids for the entire story and she is like severally depressed at the beginning and nearly jumps off brother dove’s back to try and drown herself
@FallenMothValentino "Rani and The Mermaid Lagoon" was so sad to read man...
Context for anyone reading the comments, Rani is a wingless fairy. She sacrificed her wings in order to save Neverland, and gets around by riding a dove called Brother Dove.
And the book is when her depression over that finally boils over, since she *wants* to help set up a party, but can't because BD's wings would knock everything over.
She figures she'd live better with the Mermaids, since she's a water fairy and is the only fairy in Neverland who can swim.
The funniest fact of the Tinker Bell films is that they were basically responsible for killing off Disneytoon Studios, the one being responsible for all the Disney Direct to DVD sequels in the 2000s.
They were also responsible for a goofy movie 😢
Wait they killed DisneyToon? I thought it was just a side effect of John Lasseter leaving and the launch of Disney+
@@patax144 I believe that (from what I remember) Bob Iger HATED Disneytoon. And when he became CEO, guess what movie was being worked on? Tinkerbell and the Ring of Belief. Which he hated so much they had to redo the entire movie. The only reason they were allowed to go on was because the company was in a recession. As soon as they were out of it, they got canned.
Just like how Ice Age killed blue sky studios
@@NightRainPanda makes it sound like the tinker bell movies didnt kill the studio, bob iger did
You'd think that water fairies could fly with wet wings, since their whole identity is water. Kinda like how winter fairies are the only fairies that can fly in the cold of winter ( or a blizzard ).
"She is in the condo I'm moving into"
Why is it I immediately got this image of a middle aged Tinkerbell sitting on a balcony in one of those horrible white plastic lawn chairs holding a cigarette in one hand, and a coffee mug in the other wearing a green robe covered in stains?
God I wish
@@AthenaPOfficial who doesnt?
someone draw this PLEASE
@@space-age-bachelorman I really want someone to draw this, I need art of it 😂
@@AthenaPOfficialI see that as being a sign you’re exactly where you’re supposed to be on your path in life . What is the odds of all the types of animated character it’s one you love in the place you move into. ✨✨
What I love about the fairies is that all of tinkerbells friends have superpowers and she just has a mcguyver brain, on top of the fact that when the fairies switched each others' powers, Vidia just got a different type of brain and has to temporarily deal with the implications of that
She just turned into a Lego builder and it was so funny
MacGyver reference 😂
All Tinker fairies are Batmans of fairy world.
They really said autism is your superpower 😭
@@rileym7337 NOOOOOO 😭
Who knew a TacoBell fairy would gain several films and spin-offs even though she was from a film that came out in THE 1950S?!?!?!!??
Just like Schaffrillas said “She’s also a sociopath with a long history of violence”
TacoBell?!!
@@Isabelle-qq2yu "I don't understand how you keep forgetting that."
tbf shes kinda one of disneys big mascots, at least she was for a while idk if she is anymore
Tacobell?? 😭
ill never forgive disney for killing this franchise it ruled
I want MOOOOORE
@@AthenaPOfficial we all talk about how much we miss club penguin but real talk? i miss pixie hollow more
Friends to lovers is such a cute trope and Tink and Terence genuinely would’ve been so cute together- like the short tempered one with the calm one is also such a cute pairing- but they ruin it with them looking so similar and with so many of their interactions being toxic or unkind. (Tink being mean to him or Terence being a bit of a creep in the books)
Movie Tink is a lesbian and I will die on that hill
"Do not let her cook she'll burn the entire house down" 💀
I will probably be using this
I read this as I heard it on the video lol
I was obsessed with the original book. Everything to do with Rani has been burned into my memory forever. Forced to love something that kills her? Destroy an intrinsic part of yourself to be able to embrace your love? I'm dead. Deceased. Never at rest.
I only had trouble with tink and I believe a compilation stories book with one about Rani after she cut off her wings. But everything from that story and her backstory is also just burned into my memory so vividly
Her thing about crying easily because she's "full of water" is so relatable I say it to this day. I had to start carrying tissues in my purse because my nose started running a lot after i got it pierced and that reminded me of how Rani's outfit came with handkerchiefs on it too
Fashion history lover here. A negligee in 1904 was actually very different to what we would now call lingerie. A negligee was a more casual garment, but would have still fully covered most of a woman’s skin. These were mostly worn by women who were staying at home and entertaining guests.
I’ll always be upset that we never got that steampunk themed movie where Tink attends an entire academy for tinker fairies. The concept art for it was so cool and we would’ve gotten the coolest fairy designs in the series imo. I NEED Disney to give us steampunk Tinker Bell someday!!
I’ve been mad about the inconsistency with the winter fairy lore for 12 years.
Thank you, Athena. 9 year old me is pleased.
Same
OH MY GOSH YES THAT'S ANNOYED ME FOR SO LONG
Yesss i noticed it and no one talked about it when i went searching for it previously
All we needed was a line like "You were only in for a few seconds that first time" or something! Arg.
So, I have no place to say this since the gracious Queen Athena has granted my last request for Octonauts lore, but anyone else here think that Little Einsteins would be EXACTLY the type of thing she'd enjoy doing a lore video for? That would be so much fun!
All I remember about that show is that I watched one episode of Little Einsteins one (1) time and got one of their songs stuck in my head for a whole month. It was great.
Little Einsteins and Backyardigans are the types that I feel like Athena would be hooked on (yes, I know she reacted to Backyardigans drunk)
SERIOUSLY MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY! I would be so down with a lore video on it!! Because it's actually very interesting when you watch the whole show..
I was scared of the spider from it
@@melonnoodlsoup3387 for some reason I was kinda obsessed with that scene because of the visual background behind them...but yes I remember being frightened of it too 🤣 it was the only show I watched in my childhood my mother was actually able to sit through 💀
I played the Pixie Hollow game in my early twenties while recovering from getting my wisdom teeth out and it’s genuinely one of the fondest memories I have. In the handful of hours every day that I was conscious, I was having the time of my life being a cute little fairy and flying around collecting snowflakes with that magical background music playing. 10/10 perfect game
Where can you find it though?
@@UwU_69420 it was, sadly, shut down in 2013, but i've just discovered "We the Pixies" which is a rebuild project! (They're basically remaking the whole thing)
Such a missed opportunity that you forgot to mention how the author Gail Carson loves Peter Pan and calls Wendy an idiot for leaving Neverland. 🤣
And now Wendy was sorry and at the same time she did the right thing in leaving Neverland,on top that,Peter treated her badly in the first movie not only TinkerBell,also to the rest of the characters who harm her,whatever everyone hates Wendy even if she was dead today 😂😅
Tinkerbell is a great example of what I like to call the Garfield Effect where the character might not look like they have much at first but once you start getting into it you realize that they are everywhere
Glad I’m not the only one who made the SuperEyePatchWolf connection!
no because you're so right
The only major reason why I know about tinkerbell lore is because my mom's dog, Lucian, LOVES anything tinkerbell. The movies are the only few movies he will actively watch and not have a fit over when he's left alone. Least favorite is Great Fairy Rescue cause of the cat, but he ADORES Legend of The Neverbeast.
We have to put on Neverbeast anytime we leave the house so he doesn't whine, and he has a tattered up tinkerbell doll as his favorite plush to sleep with. He's 10 years old, and started to get his sugar dusted face now.
I think what you have is a changeling, but in dog form
This is so cuteeee
AWWWW
Aww!
tell him Lucian is goodest boi :3 lots pets🐾
As sexist and bullshit as the original novel is, I do kinda love the idea of fairies being so tiny that they can only fit one emotion? Like obviously it’s by definition two dimensional to make a(n especially female) character who can only experience one emotion at a time, but it’s a fascinating to have a character’s emotions so limited and extreme
The old live action movie is my favourite adaptation- Tink is so bitchy and cunty, the little acorn being a ‘kiss’, the thing about Wendy being shot is I’m pretty sure kept? Which is so dramatic and insane and I kinda love
Same it’s an interesting idea… and as long as you take out the problematic elements paying homage to the original is appreciated by me
10:00 calling being a tinker fairy being "a woman in stem" got a guttural laugh out of me (also i find the 'egg is actually a seed' theory totally believable tbh), it's the exact kind of whimsical shit you see in these types of fairytales
29:44 Quick note here, Gwendolyn isn’t actually Wendy’s daughter, but she is descended from her.
In the book it’s said that Gwendolyn’s mother and grandmother had both been to Neverland before, and it started with Wendy.
Wendy’s daughter also had the acorn kiss cast in silver, which is nice.
For a sec I thought you were talking about Gwendolyn the Dark Sun 😅
So Gwendolyn would be Wendy’s granddaughter or great-granddaughter and Jane’s daughter or granddaughter in this version or I don’t know (although in the original novel the real name from the Wendy’s granddaughter is Margaret).
@@RosyLanderos Probably a few more generations
@@RosyLanderos I just picked up the book and in the first page it the grandmother wanted Gwendolyn to fetch a scrapbook. Said scrapbook had begun a century before.
What are the chances of Gwendolyn being the granddaughter/great-granddaughter of Margaret?
I used to be obsessed with these movies. Back in the day, I didn't really know how to have actual opinions, so I'd always just say that my favorite character was whichever one had the most purple in their outfit. I got so mad when I realized the purple fairy was the mean one, because obviously my favorite fairy couldn't be mean. So I made up a whole story where Vivian and Faun swapped powers, that way the nice animal fairy could wear purple and she could be my favorite. I was a strange child.
That's kinda real ngl
I think that's just how children work lmao. When I was younger, I didn't like/pay attention to Iridessa because I was mad that she wore yellow. Now that I'm older and not holding her dress color against her, she's actually one of my favorite characters, with the other one being Silvermist.
(Unless there’s another purple fairy I forgot about her name is Vidia)
This is so real, I actually did something similar, except it was with how pretty the character was.
@@jasminemohamed823sameee lol
LORE IDEAS: (IF YOU HADN'T) you should try the tangle/ Rapunzel lore. There is an entire series where it talks about more for Rapunzel and her magical hair. They even show another thing which you should check out.
29:08 "*sniff* *sniff* Is it june? Because something smells gay!" Is one of the best quotes I have ever heared
it's so funny to me how beloved tink is but no creator who has ever created or written her can decide what her lore, origin or backstory is
I love the movies too much, so I just stick with the movie lore as my cannon.
Was kinda disappointed that we never got that 'Tink meets Peter Pan' movie; would've definitely built up the movie lore more and tied it in with the 1950s film.
@@trika91and the books! The book "Trouble with Tink" is where Tink goes back to Pan's hideout to retrieve her spare hammer, and they explain to Terrance how Tink and Peter met! Peter was on a raft, trying to get a shark and the shark took a huge bite out of the raft. With no way of escape, Tink saw him and said, "Fly, silly boy!" And covered him in pixie dust and taught him how to fly. Peter managed to get away with a tooth from the shark. They became best friends and went on many adventures from then on, ofc until they seperated and the fairies books occur in the future
Is anyone else going to mention how she straight up forgot a special, show the Pixie Hollow games focuses on Rosetta and not Tinkerbell but it's still in the series
There was another special not included as well a part 2 may be in order
@AthenaPOfficial If you do a part 2 you could include the Fairies graphic novels. Some of them focus on stories already told in the book with a couple changes like retconning vidia and the dragons love affair but theres a plot that includes a garden fairy named thistle getting jealous of tink and having a love triangle w her and terrance
@@intensestare5027 yes!!! i adored the graphic novels! I remember they also edited the reason tinkerbell and peter pan fought to be the same as the manga which is interesting
Ooh, and maybe even the Never Girls? I recall loving that book series when I was in elementary school, so it'd be cool to see that broken down along with all of the previously mentioned media!
@@AthenaPOfficial that would be so amazing, i'd looove to hear what you think of the extra content!!!! i know there's no way to make the lore make sense bahahah but it's so fun to hear you talk about anyway!
I feel validated now by your reaction how SAD the neverbeast movie is. I watched it with some friends in college and we were ready for a fun lighthearted end to the night-when that movie ended we were all SILENT because of how much of a BUMMER it was……
PS: I would love if you did a video on the lore of warrior cats, it’s brutal
Now I gotta see you do a mini lore on the Fairy books you didn't have. You have no idea how fast my face dropped when I realized you didn't have Dulcie's taste of magic that's my favorite one mainly cause it goes more into depth about the different cooking Fairies.
The other books plus the specials is a part 2 that’ll probably be just as long
@@AthenaPOfficial oh my god( long may the dove mother reign); I’m just so excited. I shall lấy here and rớt and consume this content till the end of my days.
1:12 so...basically an old fashioned way of saying "thicc"?
That's what I thought!
That description of the wand ABSOLUTELY sounds sexual 😂
Agreed. Probably doesn't help that one of the content creators I watch makes innuendos out of everything.
All i know is Tinkerbell has a polycule with the other fairies in the movies
10000%!!
I love how there's still 21 other books from this series called the Never Girls that probably have even more lore, I remember something about them teleporting to neverland or something, simply put they were confusing to read as a kid
She should do a vid on the specials and other books
Raini as a bat be like: "I have no mouth and I must scream."
Fun fact: the Peter Pan franchise has been around for 120 years.
The Neverbeast absolutely got me crying every time my kids watched it. It's like... Yeah, of course Gruff is literally just going to sleep, he's fine and he just needs a nap, but the scene where they put Gruff to bed? That was 100% a funeral.
Hi Athena P..you gotta check out the lore of the PJ Masks..3 kids who seemingly gained animal powers and fight kid villains all night. Where are their parents? Do they not check on them at night? Are the PJ Masks more than regular kids? If so, did Romeo( one of their villains) invent them? There’s more of a connection that Romeo has with the three kids than just being an infamous villain..I can feel it..Why is there no other person seeing super-powered children causing fights all across the city?!!😭😭😭
Rani's name is pronounced RAH-nee. She's named after Gail Carson Levine (the author of the book)'s sister. I understand mispronouncing, I did until I heard the author say it.
Rani was always my favorite character and I still use her metaphor of being "filled with water" as an excuse for why I'm such a chubby crybaby. Even her quirk of finishing people's sentences was something i related to because it was something i did
right…I know finishing people’s sentences is SO annoying, but as an adhd fam, it was super relatable
I caught that too! It’s funny cause it was the same mispronunciation she used in her Lion guard lore video! That one actually annoyed me more because books lend themselves to different pronunciations but with the Lion guard they pronounce the name in the show!
I love her too. She was one of the first characters with a disability I ever encountered and I love her for that. I was so disappointed when she was replaced by just Silvermist in the movies...
I love that she has an acquired disability which actually stays. She never gets her wings back. It's also really neat (imo) that she has a lot of other aspects and theming that can be applied to various other things, I absolutely can see the ADHD thing too as a neurodivergent who is also 'filled with water' haha
@@skyrunnerblake1481yes! the fact her lack of wings stays as an aspect of her character rather than giving her a factory reset at the end, felt ground breaking as a kid. I've heard people describing Brother Dove as a mobility aid, which is nice to see in children's media.
Imagine my complete and utter shock when I saw the stupid grave that took me 10 minutes show up on my screen. Where the hell did that come from? Almost as shocking knowing the Second Star on the Right was Athena the whole time.
Also, F for Barbara Muddyfoam.
what do any of those words mean
"Vidia- the Jade West if Pixie Hollow"
!!! The accuracy with this statement is crazy
There was a fanmade song by Lydia the Bard released a month or two ago. She does Disney princesses as villains and Tinkerbell was included. It kind of connects the original Peter Pan movie with the Tinkerbell movies. I’d recommend checking it out, even if it’s not actually canon.
It gets rid of Tinkerbell being in love with Peter as well so that’s good.
Athena forgot the Pirate Fairy Leapfrog game. I just *sobs * I feel so invisible. *sobs * That game was my childhood, and *sobs * she didn't even mention it. *sobs *
I had the Lost Treasure one, you're not alone
In Peter and the Starcatcher (the musical, at least) Tinker Bell is a bird that gets turned into a fairy by "star stuff" which is the magic dust that falls to earth from shooting stars and fits with absolutely no other Tinker Bell lore
just had a record scratch moment irl. you’re telling me there’s a MUSICAL???? i love those books and there’s a MUSICAL brb time to deep dive
and iirc that’s correct in the book as well. the mermaids were also fish fucked up by starstuff. i remember the lore saying that earth mythology of gods and monsters is all just records of people and creatures who got all jacked up on the stuff it was great
There’s a musical?? Since WHEN
@@umbreonic766 Yeah! It’s actually more of a play with music than a true musical, but one of the songs is all about the mermaids
Tinker bell and the ring of belief deserves atleast a mention
Part 3 I fear
@@AthenaPOfficial oh its very interesting trying to peice together this movie
There was a DS game based on The Great Fairy Rescue.
You got to choose what type of fairy you were, get items from mini-games and foraging that you could use to make outfits and flowers for the garden, and throughout the story you would have to play new mini-games.
It followed the story from that movie: one of the mini-games had you running away from the cat and another had you sailing the boats on the river. You could move your character around on the touchscreen in a 2D environment and interact with the different characters.
It was an interesting game.
If i had a nickel for every time Tom Hiddleston played a character that had their hand bitten off and eaten by a crocodile/alligator, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird it happened twice.
My bias for Jesse McCartney made it so I can't hate Terrance no matter what. I just love his voice acting roles, and this is no exception
Nick Greyson is my personal favorite 😭💙🖤
full disclosure, i 100% cried when i first saw the neverbeast movie. i was a freshman in highschool, genuinely sobbing, hiccups, screaming, full blown waterworks at that last scene where they take him to bed. my dog at the time had just been diagnosed with cancer, and i was so scared that we'd have to say goodbye to him prematurely. happy to say he's still kickin to this day, but even as a full grown adult, rewatching that movie last year still brought a tear to my eye.
also yeah the lore is fcked
I believe the books and the first movie follow the lore of the original play. as such the fairies are more in line with a mesh of British/Irish/Scottish/Welsh folklore think "The fae" style pixies and sprites and Fairies, which were fundamentally predatory toward humans.
the movies have a more American folklore spin, by which I mean that the fairies are more like nature sprites, fundamentally good guardians of nature unless provoked.
the original Tinkerbell was very much based-on stories of the Fae. the newer Tinkerbell is not
“Her bangs which were the perfect length, whatever length they were” 😶🙃 wow what descriptive writing
Hi Athena, I read these books as a kid. I was so hyperfixated on them. Heres a few things to help you better understand. The movies are EARLY i mean super early in the timeline. Before Tink meets Peter, before everything. Before destruction came to the pixie dust tree. a battle destroyed the Pixie Dust Tree with a terrible fire that swept Never Land burning everything in its path. That's why in the books theres no longer a Tree. And time moves differently in Neverland. It's faster, like while a year would pass on the homeland, typically a full five years could have passed in Neverland. The Books also indicate that while the original faerie girlies are still alive for the most part something tears them from Tink probably her living with Peter for so many years. The movies were suppose to end with one showing Tink meeting Peter Pan and leaving Pixie Hollow but that never ended up happening since the studio was closed before they could. Also Rani is pronounced like Ronny, she was always my favorite as a kid. It's also kind of implied that Prilla is autistic which is fun. As an audhd girlie I love seeing the REP. But Vidia also become more cold hearted in the books because of how much time had passed. I think she was really hurt with Tink left Pixie Hollow and while we don't know how she left it's implied she didn't tell anyone which is why in the books her original group of friends had drifted away except for Terence. I loved these books so much as a kid.
Queen Clarion and Lord Milori are everything to me
Thank God someone's talking about those books. I remember the controversy when Disney was making the Tinkerbell movies
Apparently the movies take place before the first 3 books, and mother dove was born out of a fire from the home tree after a war so we can assume that the movies are pre fairy war and the books are after, which makes sense with how much darker they are.
That’s what I want to see now. Tinkerbell and the Fairy War. Lol. Fairies in acorn shell armor, massive battles mid air. Tinkerbell developing and building artillery to shoot enemy fairies out of the sky.
So we all agree that the Legend of Neverbeast was more of an emotional gut-punch than expected? (Just hearing the summary makes me choked up still, ngl).
Literally, they basically treat the scene like having to put down a beloved pet. I didn’t even see the whole movie, I had walked in on the last 15 minutes of my roommates watching it, but after the end I had to just go cry in my room.
@@tearoses9940 I get it, I started tearing up just from the clips in this video
I'll never forget how much I wanted to be a water fairy when I was younger 😭
I knew there were books, but I never knew they made some of them into manga! It's crazy to see the impact Tinkerbell had, but the movies are still sooooo underrated. I'm still so mad that DisneyToon got shut down before we could get a Peter Pan and Tinkerbell origin.
Never stop being you Athena, the depth and dedication that you put into these videos is rare to see. I can't wait for more wacky videos in the future!
They show young Captain Hook and Tick Tock Croc in the movies, and show a storyteller talking about the history with the Pixie Dust tree in the books, and I think that’s implying time worked normally before Neverland was awakened and Mother Dove got her magic egg, and only afterwards was aging frozen in place
I absolutely love Tinker Bell in every iteration. I have a whole shelf dedicated to her. And the fact she can only feel one emotion at a time because she’s so tiny is just like me fr.
*looks at my tinker bell shelf next to me right now* I have found my people
so do i!!! it’s been my hyper fixation since i was 6 😭😭
i’m always on the lookout for more stuff to add to my tinkerbell collection lol
Imma list all the series I want you to do a lore dive on.
1. The Magic Treehouse series. (Also had a cancelled TV show I think?)
2. Ever After High books and TV show.
3. A Wrinkle in time and its spinoff meet the Austins
4. The Chrestomanci series by Diana Wynne Jones (It's literally amazing and bonkers)
5. The crazy world of Phineas and Ferb and more importantly, MILO MURPHY'S LAW
6. Mary Poppins. Just anything Mary Poppins.
Admittedly, most of these don't have enough lore to value a full lore video, but all the same my childhood favourites would thank you if you did one.
Hamster and Grettle are also part of the Phineas and Ferb universe and since that show is actually rather good want to make sure she dosent forget it 😊😊😊
Magic Tree House had an anime movie.
@@mitchfletcher2386and a stage Musical. They used to include some of the songs at the end of the audiobooks which were prizes in kids meals
Magic tree house and ever after high are some of my favoritez
and the legendary sesame street
MY DUDE. SECRET OF THE WINGS, PIRATE FAIRY, AND THE LEGEND OF THE NEVERBEAST WAS THE ONLY THING I WATCH WHEN I WAS YOUNG. I would always cry when the scene where they helped Gruff go to sleep. And the it was worse because the END CREDITS SONG KEPT SAYINF 1000 YEARS AND DRIVING THE PAIN DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO MY HEART.
I need to point something out lore wise on the ds video game side. There's a Pixi game about being a tinker fairy, and you go about fixing / making / bringing things to the seasonal ambasador's. In the autum side, there is a whole ass different "Perriwinkle." The game release pre dates "Secret of the wings" If I recall correctly. It also has a series of mini games you play with the core sidekick of girls respectively.
I’m so obsessed with the wings
Weirdo 😐
@@TheAntiDisneyEmperorhow?
I like how the left one is slightly ripped. I think it gives it like a little style
A funfact about the Tinkerbell Movies is that in the german dubbing, a few fairys had different names. Iridessa was Klara, Silvermist was Silberhauch (Literary: Silverbreath) and Fawn was Emily which makes the least sense to me. Like, at least the others got names that made sense with their abilities, why should Fawn be Emily? I get that they probably wanted to use names that a child audience would understand as belonging to the element, but In Secret of the Fairy Wings, they still call Periwinkle by her orginal name
Emily????
There is actually an explanation for the magic sources changing! Basically, the tree was the source originally, but then Neverland had a FREAKING APOCALYPSE APPARENTLY???? and it burned down. Mother Dove's tree was the last thing on the island to catch fire, so all the rest of the magic transferred to her and the egg :)
EDIT: just realized you explained the apocalypse thing in the video, but yeah that's where the tree went
As someone who has only seen the original Peter Pan movie and Secret of the Wings, this was insanely helpful in helping me know why people love the fairy movies so much (also Periwinkle was absolutely part of my gay awakening)
Shoutout to everyone who had a crush on Silvermist and/or Vidia when they were a kid
Tbh Athena should have a channel where it's just sander sides but Athena's alt egos💀
lol i bet shed do a batter job than thomas at keeping her characters in character too lmao 💀 i feel like the quality of sanders sides has gone down sooooooooooo much since joan left the team
I’d watch that
@cosmiclasagna wait joan left?
@@iireesepuffii yeah they left awhile ago! i think it was before dwit?? anyways its a big part of the reason why the characters and interactions have felt a little out of character since about that time (although im sure thomas interacting with fan content as much as he does isnt helping his ability to keep them in character) so like hes trying to develop the characters and do these arcs or whatever but it seems a lotta the time like hes forgotten their original characterizations a little bit
"Let me quote Shakespeare: 'If you stand for nothing, Burr, what'll you fall for?'"
Ain't no way you just quoted George R.R. Martin and tried to pass it off as Shakespeare lmao
YOU ARE MY HERO! I LOOOOOVE TINKERBELL( I have an ungodly amount of merch for her) and I've been DYING for someone to talk all the lore and story ( esp. since it seems like the new Fantasy Springs area and her ride at TDR gives nods to it) Thanks!
Great Fairy Rescue was always my favorite of the films, it was cute, emotional, sweet and simple. Neverbeast was a close second, only cause the existentialism in it broke my heart every time the film was put on.
Vidia in the third movie reminds me of Tigeress and her progression towards being nicer to Poe in the second Kung Fu Panda franchise like how Vidia was becoming friendlier with Tink
oh i loved tigeress’s character development during those movies, it sucks that the 4th one turned out the way it did lol
@@cosmiclasagna Haven't seen the 4th one but hear they were underused in the movie 😔
My sibling and I started crying after we watched Legend Of The Neverbeast. It was such a sad ending and, at the time, there were no plans for another movie so, we were caught in a "that was it?!" kind of phase. I hope they at least mention it in any new movies
Theres also the book 'In the Realm of the Never Fairies - The secret world of pixie hollow', It has a lot about specifically how each type of fairy works and also mentions mother dove. I remembered it from when I was a kid, and went digging and found it :) (also has some explanations on fashion, their bedrooms, and the living spaces of the pixie tree. Theres also a few recipes in the book.)
raini was my favorite as a kid i thought she was so cool and badass for cutting her wings off. i definitely read a lot of the shorter books and some of the mangas, and i also remember there being comics in color, but i don't think i ever read the original books, so i never knew how depressing raini's story was
Love secret of the wings, definitely my favorite.
You know Tinkerbell and the fairies of Neverland deserve their own series, like a soft reboot, spinoff shows, or honestly anything cartoon fairy related.
Dude the inconsistency within the movies with the winter area (the change in the winter leadership and the sudden "oh we can't be in winter") made me so mad as a kid lol. That being said I still love the movies and I did in fact bawl like a baby when Gruff went to sleep.
I literally SQUEALED when I saw this vid pop up in my feed, I have LOVED Tinker bell since I was kid, constantly dressing up as her any chance I got XDD !!! The books were really interesting to hear about as I had never read them before and I just LOVE the artstyle
My cannon universe for Tinkerbell will ALWAYS be the books. I spent so many hours reading those books as a kid, and I love how it feels like a comfy grey area between the original source material (charming but problematic) and the movies (lighthearted but less substance).
You could just say that the movies happen in neverland’s ancient past and that there’s a reincarnation cycle
An hour long video at 11 pm? I really shouldn't but... Oh I can't resist your lore breakdowns. Especially since I looooved Tinkerbell as a kid
Addition: The car indicates that Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue takes place in probably the 1910s-1920s, the 1800s for most of the century is still way too early for those sorts of cars. The first car was invented in 1886, but it looked very different to what was modelled in the movie. Cars also didn't pick up in popularity until the 1900s in the UK, with there being 700-800 on the road in 1900, but they were also very expensive that early on.
Hoping you do Dora the Explorer lore.
In reality she is a super villian with missiles, a robot factory in a volcano, stays out past midnight without calling parents, shoots first then asks people to surrender, and puts people who can't see/hear in charge of sailing a ship.
Friends names are cleary mobster names: Boots and Benny the Bull..plus adults are always hiding in buildings.
8:54 That is both absolutely appalling and hilarious! Also, the Prilla clap dance & song at 23:02 was a very fun interpretation of the scene from the book. Very fun review of the books & movies & very fun game play of the fan made fairy game.
Most I can say is that Tink was doing pretty well with the thistles, Vidia just decided to blow open the paddock and THEN things went to hell in a fairy sized handbasket. So it was a bad idea made infinitely worse due to pride.
mother dove was seen in a few of the smaller book
i especially remember she had a part in beck beyond the sea because vidia sabotauged beck so she could get back to plucking her feathers
yes the moves ARE different universes from the bookss
BUT the pixie dust tree DID exsist long ago in the book universe (i had a few lore books growing up)
the tree i think produced endless dust
but then one day a massive storm or fire raged through neverland and destroyed it and that's when neverland found mother dove
never land gave her wisdom and the next day she laid her egg. the day after that she had her first molt and she taught the fairies how to grind up her feathers into pixie dust
I loved the tinkerbell movies growing up and still like rewatching them now I also still unwilling say “oh lord Mallory” in the keepers voice all the time
OH MY GOD TINKERBELL AND THE LOST TREASURE WAS MY FAV (i remember a pirate fairy with a redemption arc… she was my lesbian awakening)
Edit: Serena. That was her name. Also that movie was fire too
“She’s less than a day old and she already knows she’s not gonna tolerate this kind of nonsense “😂😂😂 me too girl
I only ever read two of the Tinkerbell books and let me tell you, I _adored_ Silvermist and the Ladybug curse. I reread that shit so many times I probably could’ve recited it off by heart.
I also read Tink Takes Charge but all I remember is Tinkerbell’s house being blown up or something 😭
We know that the never land in the movies is WAYYYYY before the neverland in the books we know there was a volcano and we know neverland used to be entirely covered by pixie hollow… knowing these things it’s safe to assume that whatever happened during mother doves godenning is what caused the age standstill… and why mother dove doesn’t like the fairies interacting with humans anymore…
the "let me quote shakespeare" into "if you stand for nothing, burr, what will you fall for" sLAYED ME LDKFHJGDJKAHGS
I realised how I loved this lore because my student’s favourite song was “A Gift For A Friend” by Demi Lovato which was in a Tinker Bell movie and now it made me realise how much I loved Silvermist and Iridessa and not realising how lesbian I was at the time 😭
During the time this video was release, Tokyo Disney Sea has a brand new port called Fantasy Springs and so happens to include a new tinker bell ride with "Fairy Tinker Bell's Busy Buggies!!!" Seriously, the ride footage brings back great memories of me watching these films with my cousins during the early 2010s. Good Times!!! 🧚♂🧚♂🧚♂
I must have had something wrong with me as a kid because tinker bell and Terrance were one of my favorite childhood ships(the movie versions anyway) 😭I always wanted to scream at tinker bell "Girl why are you going back to that jerk peter pan when the perfect guy is RIGHT THERE"
No he was really sweet and a good guy in the movies i just wanted more of the girlies
@@AthenaPOfficial Fair point, the girls needed more screentime
I would have watched movies featuring all of them tbh
