Tinker Bell is a computer animated film series produced by DisneyToon Studios as part of the Disney Fairies franchise. Voices of Mae Whitman, Raven-Symoné, Lucy Liu, America Ferrera and Kristin Chenoweth are featured in the film. Each of the four films is set around one of the four seasons: Tinker Bell around Spring, Lost Treasure around Autumn, Great Fairy Rescue around Summer, and Secret of the Wings around Winter; a fifth title, Pixie Hollow Games, was supposed to be based on all four seasons. However, Pixie Hollow Games was released before Secret of the Wings and scaled down. The series is a spin-off/prequel to Peter Pan and its sequel.

Tinker Bell (2008)

Main article: Tinker Bell (film)

Tinker Bell (Mae Whitman) is born from the first laugh of a baby, and is brought by the winds to Pixie Hollow (which is part of the island of Never Land). She learns that her talent is to be one of the tinkers, the fairies who make and fix things. Two other tinker fairies, Bobble (Rob Paulsen) and Clank (Jeff Bennett), teach her their craft, and tell her about the fairies who visit the mainland to bring each season. Tink is thrilled and can't wait to go to the mainland for spring.

While out working, she meets Silvermist (Lucy Liu), a water fairy; Rosetta (Kristin Chenoweth), a garden fairy; Iridessa (Raven-Symoné), a light fairy; and Fawn (America Ferrera), an animal fairy. After meeting them, she notices Vidia (Pamela Adlon), a fast-flying fairy who immediately dislikes her because of her unusually strong talent. Vidia challenges her to prove she'll be able to go to the mainland, and Tink creates several inventions, which she shows to the Minister of Spring (Steve Valentine). But Tinker Bell soon learns from Queen Clarion (Anjelica Huston) that only nature-talent fairies visit the mainland.

She tries her hand at nature skills—making dewdrops with Silvermist, lighting fireflies with Iridessa, and trying with Fawn to teach baby birds to fly—but she fails miserably at all of these. Meanwhile, Bobble and Clank cover for Tink when questioned by Fairy Mary (Jane Horrocks), the tinker fairy overseer. When Tinker Bell returns, she tries to explain, but Mary simply responds that she knows, and expresses her disappointment with Tink's actions.

On the beach, Tinker Bell finds parts of a music box and figures out how to put them together. Iridessa, Fawn, Silvermist, and Rosetta witness her doing this, then tell her that she was tinkering and that she should be proud of her talent—if this is what she's good at, the mainland shouldn't matter. But Tinker Bell still wants to go to the mainland. She asks Rosetta if she'll still teach her to be a garden fairy, but Rosetta says that tinkering is Tinker Bell's talent.

As a last resort, Tinker Bell asks Vidia for help in becoming a garden fairy. Vidia craftily tells her that capturing the sprinting thistles would prove her worth. However, once she sees Tink making progress, she lets the captured thistles loose, and in attempting to recapture them, Tink destroys all the preparations for spring. Tink decides to leave, but after talking with the dust-keeper Terence (Jesse McCartney) about how important his job is, she realizes the importance of a tinker.

Tinker Bell redeems herself by inventing machines that quicken the process of decorating flowers, ladybugs, etc. This allows the other fairies to get back on schedule, thus saving the arrival of spring. Vidia is punished for prompting her to cause the chaos, and Queen Clarion allows Tink to join the nature-talent fairies when they bring spring to the mainland. Tinker Bell is given the task of delivering the music box to its original owner (shown to be Wendy Darling). The narrator ends by saying that when lost toys are found or a broken clock starts to work, "it all means that one very special fairy might be near.""

Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure (2009)

Main article: Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure

The fairies (Mae Whitman, Kristin Chenoweth, Lucy Liu, Raven-Symoné, Angela Bartys) are getting ready for the season of leaves, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and pumpkins: autumn. Every eight years they create a new fall scepter to a hold a precious moon stone. This moon stone will create blue pixie dust that will restore the Pixie Dust Tree. It was the Tinker Fairy's turn to create the new scepter and they chose Tinker Bell as the maker. Tinker Bell gets her friend to help with the scepter project, but she has trouble coping with Terence because he tries too hard to be helpful. Tinker Bell finds him annoying and noisy. An accident occurs, causing the precious moonstone to break. She goes on a quest to find the magic mirror which grants you three wishes. However, pirates had already used up two of the wishes before they sank their ship. This means Tinkerbell only has once chance to make a wish with it. She finds the ship and the lost mirror, but Tinker Bell ends up messing up her wish on her new friend Blaze and cannot use it to restore the moonstone. Terence finds Tinker Bell and they work together on the broken moonstone to make a new scepter. After returning to Pixie Hollow, Tinker Bell is ready to present the scepter to Queen Clarion. As the scepter is reviled, all the fairies see the moonstone in pieces and are alarmed but, as the moon rays fall, the moonstone shards create increased surface area through which the blue moon rays can pass, thus creating the biggest amount of blue fairy dust in history. Then Tinkerbell leads the fairies to the Pixie Dust Tree where they strengthen it with the fallen blue pixie dust. The movie ends with the song "Take to the Sky".

Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue (2010)

Main article: Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue

Years before meeting Wendy and the Lost Boys, Tinker Bell (Mae Whitman) met Lizzy (Lauren Mote), a little girl with a steadfast belief in the power of pixie dust and the magic land of fairies. During the fairies' summer visit to the flowering meadows of England, two very different worlds unite for the first time and Tink develops a special bond with a curious child in need of a friend. As her fellow fairies (Raven-Symoné, Lucy Liu, Kristin Chenoweth, Angela Bartys, Pamela Adlon) launch a daring rescue, Tinker Bell takes a huge risk, putting her own safety and the future of all fairykind in jeopardy.

Pixie Hollow Games (2011)

Main article: Pixie Hollow Games

Originally planned to feature the entire ensemble cast of the earlier films in Olympic-style games spanning the four seasons, presumably due to the original plot vetoed by the producers, the story was scaled back into a shorter scenario focusing primarily on Rosetta and a new fairy character, Chloe. They are teamed up against their will representing the "garden fairies" in a competition in which they hope to unseat the undefeated "storm fairies". They overcome their differences and Rosetta's fear of getting dirty, to emerge victorious at the end of the games.

Upcoming films

Main article: Secret of the Wings

Tinker Bell first met Periwinkle in the forbidden area in Winter. As the two fairies learn to share love and differences, they both found out they're sisters. Along with Tink's friends, Rosetta, Iridessa, Vidia, Fawn and Silvermist are drifting along enjoying one and another of seeing what will happen next. Though, Tinker Bell crossed the forbidden border and was told before by Queen Clarion. Also, Periwinkle heard a story who was told by Lord Milori. Furthermore, as the story goes on, Queen Clarion and Lord Milori first met and fell in love by the border crossing at every sunset. But one's crossed both borders became too weak that he (Lord Milori) broke a wing which cannot be cure. Now both love can never come upon. After Periwinkle visited the warm seasons, things started to brake and harshed of Tink and Peri sister's love was abounded. Unfortunately, Pixie Hollow along the warm seasons became wintery cold and wrapped in thick snowglade which began to rippled. Sooner, Tinker Bell and Periwinkle bond together to fix the problem with their (sister's) wings... And resulting in a new Pixie Hollow place which is now called Mine of the Hills in Neverland.
