the scene where Iradessa catches a ball of sunshine in a flower and the girlies ask her if its heavy so she responds "no, its light" genuinely has lived rent free in my head since I was 12
Japan did a study on what girls like when trying to expand their toy ranges to girls early on, I can't remember the name of the paper BUT they found majority of little girls like smaller versions of real things, things that go into pockets and similar small stuff. We like trinkets.
Can confirm. I was definitely one of those tomboy kids, but I loved littlest pet shop, especially the ones with the super tiny characters. I didn't care for Polly pocket until I discovered the super tiny ones
I never interpreted the Tinkerbell movies as having some sort of real life message like “you can only be good at one thing” I just saw it as “this is just how this fictional fairy world works!” I never thought that I could only be good at one thing because of these movies because the characters aren’t humans.
@@adriennekeeneryeah I saw it as a “love yourself and be who you are while being able to appreciate others talents as well.” It also can be a “work together.” Statement with how later on tinker bell innovates the other talents using lost things.
Yeah, my thought process was the same; idk why, but when I saw other things about fairies like Fairytopia from Barbie, I was like "omg friendship" and "omg you have to be good to others" but with Tinkerbell it was just "yes, the documentary about fairys, this is how they would act and how their world would be, thank you very much"
When they're all using Tinkerbell's inventions to catch back up and be ready for spring there ARE fairies doing things that aren't aligned with their talent. Proving that not everyone is good at only one thing, and their talents are passions
Yeah... I don't know about you but it's also a negative point. It's the most we'll find in the movie. Besides, it was already seen coming. Just as we saw Iridessa storing rainbow rays in tubes to take them to the mainland, this is what would happen with Tinkerbell's inventions. 21:13 The other fairies would use their inventions.
The real problem with the Tinkerbell movie when I was a child was that I was a weird little Disney purist and was like "nuh-uh Tinkerbell is supposed to be a brat" 😅😂
I feel it should be mentioned that Vidya is in fact, not a wind fairy. She is a fast flying fairy. Theres a whole subgenre of fairy that just. Flies fast. And that's the job.
I think it depends which language you watch the Tinkerbell movies😅😅 Don't worry, i understand your correction because which language i watched the Tinkerbell movies it says fast-flying fairy (in Dutch that translates it to "snel vliegend elf/fee" where i watched the movies) but i think in some languages it probably says wind fairy😅😅
@leontineketting97 oh I was referencing lore from the Gail Carson Levine novels, not the movie itself. I forgot the movie specified she was fast flying
These are my comfort movies. Whenever im feeling like the world is just too disappointing to handle, the thought of being tiny enough to dress in a flower and live in a teapot keeps me going. There's something about only needing a small patch of garden to live in happily that fulfills me in a way nothing else can. Also, Silvermist was probably my first girl crush Ever.
aw! i could relate. i'm a college student and i still watch my childhood movies and cartoon all the time. i also watch barbie movies as well. they comfort me in this world full of hatred and suffering
I think the one scientist quote may be about the Fairy Rescue movie, they show a dad and her daughter, the dad being a man of science, looked down at the girl's interests in fairies, creativeness, fantasies and so. The man is so uptight w his beliefs in science, what is wrong or right, the importance of institutions and facts, so he doesn't believe in fairies, and the girl proves him wrong. Maybe he was referencing that particular movie, which in his defense it's true, but we all know that not all scientists are bitter or joyless, plus we all need a little bit of magic and fantasy in our lives, even bitter men using reddit
And also, that movie takes place in the 19th century. That was the era when Ignatz Semmelweis ended up a broken man in response to the vitriol he got because he suggested people wash their hands when treating patients (basically, the scientists acted towards Semmelweis the way the scientists in Disney's Atlantis movie do towards Milo Thatch and his grandpa, even though it is common knowledge nowadays that you're supposed to wash hands when treating patients). It was also the era when Sigmund Freud turned towards now-debunked theories because of the scorn he got for his early insights on psychological trauma. And while there are still some scientists who have that attitude, there are far fewer of those now than there were back then, and there are folks who push back against this where they can because the attitude of that dad, quite frankly, makes for bad science (because rigorously testing a theory is one thing, dismissing it out of hand as "foolishness" in spite of evidence to the contrary is another, and from what I can tell, some important conservation opportunities were missed for years, even decades, as a result of that attitude, what with people believing animals to be less intelligent than they really are and failing to take into account how intelligence and learning affects their conservation prospects).
@@lsmmoore1Also, according to the deleted scene, “A Real Life Fairy,” Lizzie’s father believed in fairies too. That was, at least, till he told a girl that he saw a fairy, she blurted it out, and a rumor spiraled out of control that ended up with the tree that the fairy lived in burning down and his father shaming him for “bringing shame to their family.”
I loved thst movie as a kid, and there’s a whole scene of Lizzie doing fairy science and making a whole Scienctific fairy research journal thst her father thinks is fake bcs he doesn’t believe in fairies. The point is listen to your kid and have some belief in magic in the world not science bad
I was a tinkerer as a kid and I got a really weird amount of hate by adults for it. Even if tinker bell was problematic I think the first movie will always have a special place in my heart. It was massive for me to see a woman be into making things and learning how things were made and work. It literally changed my life.
I was 8-9 when Tinkerbell was in her prime. The books the movies are based on had glitter imbedded in the cover and it was like a thick dried glitter glue, and I lived for it. I also became a tinker myself since I turn literal trash into home decor lol. Also, how is every video an absolute banger? If you read this comment you are entitled to one free pouch of pixie dust: 🌈✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️🌈
Reading this has made me realize that these films, too, turned me into a trash hoarding fairy. My walls are covered in garbage... ✨🌈 Beautiful, gay, garbage✨🌈
I ran all the way to the comments as soon as you asked where Tinkerbell got her wand from. I don't think it was ever explained in the movies, but it was in the books! I read them when I was younger, and it showed when Tinkerbell picked out her wand. It's a small sewing needle🥰
Tinkerbell taught me to not compare my talents to others, and to be proud of myself. It also taught me to advocate for myself and the ways that I can contribute to a situation/society/etc that may be different than what's "normal". As a sensitive neurodivergent kid, Tinkerbell truly helped me learn that I am valuable and can be confident even if I don't "fit in" to the way society typically functions. I actually think Tinkerbell should get even more credit than it already gets. I love Tinkerbell, I watched all the movies and read all the books. I used to imagine that I'm just a pixie that the other pixies don't understand but that doesn't mean my talent is stupid. When Tink puts together the music box, it always makes me cry bc she's finally shown just being happy in her element and just doing her thing without the scrutiny or judgment of the other pixies.
I theorize that Tinker had problems learning the other talents is hinted in the beginning. My head canon is that her light was the brightest right? Her light/talent was tinkering. What if the brighter the light, the stronger the connection, and the weaker the connection to the other talents.
i want to see these redditors say the same things about monsters university, which is essentially the same plot structure as the first tinker bell movie. but i doubt they will, because it's not really about the message 🙄
Something about Jordy having experience in anthropology is SO good because it makes these analysis videos super fun and also makes me feel like I'm being educated. But in an enjoyable way. If that makes any sense
Tinkerbell is the story of a girl with autism who has her own special and new wave of participating in her special interest but is discouraged from that interest because she does it her own way, and because she feels so unwanted in the field of interest she likes she forces herself to try and do other things in an attempt to feel accepted, AND NOBODY CAN CHANGE MY MIND! The way she doesn’t clock Vidya hating her or tricking her, the way she doesn’t notice the social cues that would tell her people are thinking she’s weird or annoying. THATS AUTISM BABY! nobody can tell me different!
in hindsight this movie resonated a lot with me as a little undiagnosed girl and even more now as an autistic adult woman engineer 🥺 Tink felt like too much to everyone around her in the same way I did
YES I'm not the only person who sees it like that, I resonated with this movie so strongly as a child and then later realized "oh my god, this could be read as an autism allegory" boy the self discovery journey that followed 😭
I grew up LOVING these movies. Like, absolutely obsessed with these movies. I would rewatch all of them so frequently. They are all iconic in my eyes. And now as a nonbinary autistic adult I think I resonate with Tinkerbell even more. Like yessss girl, don’t read the room at all! Slay ✨. Also Vidia was for *sure* a big crush for me
@@jordyscomputer Yes def do its crazy on how it all went down, it was suppsoed be called Tinker Bell the Ring of Belief. It was like 90% fininshed but then got scrapped. Brittany Murphy was also suppose to play Tinker Bell
my sister and i have been rewatching these movies together recently! they played such a big part of my childhood and i’m SO BITTER we never got any more movies. also, i sob uncontrollably every damn time i listen to the soundtrack, it’s genuinely just so beautiful.
10:51 Ironically, one of the original ideas for the first Tinkerbell movie ended with a scene of the girls going to a concert for a fairy rock band called "The Pixie Chicks" which actually has partially done official 3D animation floating around somewhere on the web
These Tinker Bell movies have been staples of my childhood and I think they’re criminally underrated. I love the story, characters, animation, and the soundtrack. Holy crap, the soundtrack! This is the definition of childhood wonder encapsulated into these movies, even though their main purpose is to sell toys.
I just rewatched Tinkerbell the other night and actually wondered the same thing as this random father on Reddit, about how the other fairies wouldn’t have jobs. But I’m glad that theory was debunked with this video as it broke my soul thinking about it😔 pixie hollow really said socialism ✊ 💀
As a young boy I LOVED these movies to an insane degree, I would make my blanket fort, take my lil foldable dvd player and watch it while eating whatever snack I chose. I have every one of the movies on dvd and they are a treasure. My siblings don’t share my love for these movies. Also, justice for Terrance! He was treated awfully in the second movie by Tink and it makes me so upset lmaooo. Also Vidia (hope I spelt that right) is like the best character ever, can’t change my mind
The Industrial Revolution of Pixie Hollow isn't necessarily one to stay. All the inventions were needed to bring Spring in time, there was no other way. After spring was saved, most fairies reverted back to their old ways of doing things, because the inventions weren't needed anymore. Ofcourse some still used them, but they didn't take over Pixie Hollow entirely. You can see all this in the other movies and books.
Dads are really so misogynistic they can’t even let their daughters enjoy fun and inspiring movies. I literally want to laugh at any man who agreed with that Reddit post.
I think the "scientist being overzealous and joyless" point was made not for the fairies but for the dad from Tinlerbell and The Great Fairy Rescue... 😭😂Honestly would love to see your review of that movie
i recently went through some not so joyous things in life as well and did a Tinkerbell marathon (i was inspired when you did the pixy hollow website livestream) and cried👏my 👏eyes👏out👏 the fact that these movies hit even harder when you're an adult proves that they're are masterpieces and disney should bring back the fairy girlies because when need them today more than ever☝️🤓
1. What is it like being the funniest person on the planet 2. I desperately need to hear your take on the book series cause Rani deserved a spot in these movies
"I'm sure she's not going to have to reconnect with her sense of femininity and girlhood later in life" this is such a good way of putting this, this is what I'm going through right now, trying to unlearn all that behaviour and figuring out what really makes me happy, super cute feminine things :(
Tinks choosing of destiny is alot like the ceremony Jedi go though when being chosen by a kyber krystal. The brighter the glow the higher the connection.
I grew up with the first three Tinker Bell movies and as an adult, I kinda think the think the “scientists being overzealous and joyless” point sort of applies to the third film, The Great Fairy Rescue. Lizzie’s (Tinker Bell’s human friend) father is a scientist-dude who doesn’t believe in magic and tries discouraging her interest in fairies. His actions such as collecting insects and trying to get Lizzie interested in mineralogy are seen as antagonistic, when in reality he’s trying to raise a daughter that could succeed and grow in the STEM field and be a mature parental figure. I haven’t seen the film in a decade, so I don’t remember if the Dad gets in trouble for not bringing Vidia to his job or whatever, but I guess Disney was trying to show that the more malleable and childlike you are, the better you will be as a parent.
I loved the Tinkerbell films omg 😭 Edit: why the fuck does Daddit sound like Barbie "detractors" Edits edit: Did anyone else used to ship Vidia n Tinkerbell when they when they were younger 💀
Suddenly feeling a lot of gender affirmation as a trans girl for the fact that my childhood play was always looking for trash I could turn into a trinket or repurpose. A lot of railroad stuff since I grew up in a rail-trail network, railroad spikes were (and still are) often my tool of choice when I had to do something.
I actually never watched the Tinkerbell movie growing up, but I had a doll of Fawn and knew about the other fairies. After watching your video, I think I missed out on an integral part of girlhood. 😭😭 Also, congrats, Jordy, you're at 14K now!!
Pixie Hollow is exactly what my mind palace looks like too-- I have never felt so seen😯 Also I just love these movies and your humor and yeah this is a fun video. Good job✨🧚♀
As a child I won a painting contest at the Prado Museum. I became known as sort of an "art prodigy" for some time. Then a few years later I lost interest in paiting. I'd been trying to finish a novel since I basically learnt to write and wanted to concentrate on that. I loved it, but according to my mom, I didn't do it as well nor would it lead me to fame like painting did. As I was still a young child she told me over and over how I was "like Tinkerbell, denying her true gift". It made me feel awful because it implied I wasn't good at writing, which was and still is my passion.
I just realized that I would be a tinker fairy. I don’t like water, I don’t like flowers, and I don’t like going outside. That means my only option is *tinkering.*
This came into my recommendations and I'm so glad it did! Going to go through the backlog later, we share a thought train plus trifecta of Bratz, Barbie and Pixie Hollow content is an instant sub. Thank you 💜. As a KH fan from the first game and a Jesse fangirlie I can not describe how happy I also was to hear Jesse in KH2. Roxas fave character and it is a bias partially due to VA alone. The bestie and I still say "Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk" on the regular haha.
If anything, to me, the film is about embracing and learning to accept oneself as you are. That even if you don't think highly of yourself or your skills, they are still important and have a place. Tinkerbell looks down on her skills and wants to be something that she is not and has to go through the journey of discovery and exploration to accept who she is and to embrace it
Tinkerbell is my childhood icon. I watched to OG tinkerbell movie on DVD at LEAST 50 times. I watched the others at least 3 times but the OG was so good for me. I really enjoyed them
Clank and Bobble gives me the Timon and Pumbaa vibes (the one who doesn't have any clue on anything and the other who answers the question and the smarter one at the same time) Terence gives me the cat noir/Adrien vibes (from Miraculous Ladybug) because of their personalities and both are blond Vidia is Meg (aka Megara from Hercules) in my opinion but you can compare her from almost every series but maybe it's just me iridessa gives me the Talia vibes (from Lolirock) in almost every single ways in both personalities, likes, dislikes and by appearances Rosetta gives me mainly the Auriana vibes (from Lolirock) in almost every single ways but you can compare her from almost every series which have their girly-girl personalities Fawn gives me the Sailor Jupiter/Makoto Kino vibes (from Sailor Moon) in both appearances and personalities but almost each series have tomboy(ish) personalities you can compare Silvermist with anyone because almost each series have their east asian characters but i think she's a tiny bit more like Hay Lin because of her personalities (from W.I.T.C.H) i did my comparison on almost each characters that are in the first movie😁😁
NOW HOLD ONNN bc the Megara and Vidia comparison is so spot on, they have similar voices and personalities! and the Adrien/Cat Noir comparison for Terence is also accurate appearance wise, but thankfully Terence isn’t blind like Adrien 😭
My mom was OBSESSED with Tinker Bell. So you best believe that the day this movie released we hauled our asses to Walmart and snatched a dvd immediately 😂 Good times
i think the scientists being overzealous and joyless point comes from one of the later movies where tinkerbell gets captured by a scientist who wants to present her to his science friends or whatever
Tinkerbell was literally how I came to terms with my diagnosis when I was told in JUNIOR YEAR OF HIGHSCHOOL I had autism when I had it my entire life. I was only diagnosed for ADHD because there were NO PROPER RESOURCES for autism beyond the "special ed" program which was just isolating the weird ones from normal kids and keeping them from corrupting the "normal" students. So my parents kept it from me for years until I genuinely needed the assistance a diagnosis could give. Tinkerbell was how it made sense to me. Prilla too from the books. The fairies were always my special interest and to know I had so much in common with the main characters pieces truly just fell into place. These films up to (not inckuding) Pirate Fairy are SO important to neurodivergent and ESPECIALLY atuistic youth. Id encourge them to ANY parent for the feelings they so perfectly illustrate that are s o hard to express in the world we live in and how they can help those pieces to fit together and not be so TERRIFYING for children.
12:41 what a coincidence ive been cleaning and rearranging my new trinket shelf while listening, specifically as you said this i was on the BEACH THEMED ONE SPECIFICALLY 🤯 arranging my shells and sea glass lol
The tinker belle movies did not do tinker belle justice because in the Peter Pan movies she is sassy, spiteful and jealous so the tinker belle movies are basically not canon or they are saying something happened that changed her. In the Peter Pan movies she had the personality of the storm fairy more
It's been a hot minute since I last watched any of the tinkbell movies, but I do remember part of what made me like them in the 1st place is how there are bits of tink's nastier traits sprinkled throughout. Like her short temper, self-centeredness, stubbornness & impulsivity. The I think 2nd? movie (the lost treasure one) is basically all about the consequences of her anger issues! Since the whole series is meant to be a prequel to peter pan, I assumed the idea was that moving away from her friends in pixie hollow who helped keep her in check, & going to Neverland to live w/ a bunch of perpetual preteens caused her to become her worst self.
You came through on this one! Loved the Tinkerbell movies growing up and I could not agree more with how iconic this movie is! 🧚♀️🌿✨💖 Would love to see you make a video on the other Tink movies
Did anyone else play that game called Disney Fairies, where you could make your own fairy characters? It was my favourite game as a kid, but it was so well hidden on the internet for some reason. Like, you had to search for the specific game, it wasn't on any game websites or Disney's website or anything, and then you had to log in and do a whole lot of stuff before you could actually play the game. But it was great. Edit: It was called Pixie Hollow apparently, and it was shut down in 2013 (😭) However, in 2018, it was sort of re-released as We The Pixies (WTP for short). WTP is, to my understanding, much like Pixie Hollow, where you create a character and then roleplay or something. However, I just tried it, and it does not work. Maybe it works better on a computer? (I'm using my phone) Idk. If anyone has played WTP, please inform me if it actually works, or what the game is, thanks.
Strange. I’ve actually played it on my phone plenty of times and I’ve had no issue. What specifically isn’t working? I know another predecessor, Fairy ABC would only work on Fire Fox.
@theflyinghandofloob2062 Well when I have to pick between a boy or girl fairy and click 'create a fairy' or something, I cannot create a fairy. All I can do is switch between boy and girl.
I revisited the first movie about a week ago, and it reminded me of how much I LOVED these when I was little! I seriously wanted to be a tinker fairy, and catch me now studying in STEM :D This is the first video of you I see and I loved it! Subbed :D
i loved tinkerbell so much that i had SO MUCH MERCH for her. pjs, bed set, toys, etc. i event had her doll once. and i’m STILL into it. (also, silvermist was my favorite, i had a crush on her and vidiya but i also wanted to be her-)
I think the scientist bit is more talking about the adult scientist in The Great Fairy Rescue, who wanted to skewer Tink and study her after Tink exposed herself to tell him off for calling his daughter a liar b/c she said fairies are real.

Reading this has made me realize that these films, too, turned me into a trash hoarding fairy.
My walls are covered in garbage...
✨🌈 Beautiful, gay, garbage✨🌈
I ran all the way to the comments as soon as you asked where Tinkerbell got her wand from. I don't think it was ever explained in the movies, but it was in the books! I read them when I was younger, and it showed when Tinkerbell picked out her wand. It's a small sewing needle🥰
Awwww
this is so CUTE
Tink getting her wand in the books was my favorite part! I read it over and over 🥲
Tinkerbell taught me to not compare my talents to others, and to be proud of myself. It also taught me to advocate for myself and the ways that I can contribute to a situation/society/etc that may be different than what's "normal". As a sensitive neurodivergent kid, Tinkerbell truly helped me learn that I am valuable and can be confident even if I don't "fit in" to the way society typically functions. I actually think Tinkerbell should get even more credit than it already gets. I love Tinkerbell, I watched all the movies and read all the books. I used to imagine that I'm just a pixie that the other pixies don't understand but that doesn't mean my talent is stupid. When Tink puts together the music box, it always makes me cry bc she's finally shown just being happy in her element and just doing her thing without the scrutiny or judgment of the other pixies.
i cry i love this so much!!!
I theorize that Tinker had problems learning the other talents is hinted in the beginning. My head canon is that her light was the brightest right? Her light/talent was tinkering. What if the brighter the light, the stronger the connection, and the weaker the connection to the other talents.
the Disney Fairy movies are so darn cozy i love them so much
the ORIGINAL cozy girls
I must confess Vidia was always my favorite fairy because I liked being mean lmao
My fav was Rani but from the movies mine was Vidia
Lmfao I liked her bcuz she was fast and purple
@@Ittosmelonme but with silvermist because she had long hair and wore blue 😭😭
@@partIycIoudy LOL ME TOO, I also had a crush on silvermist but tbh I had a crush on all of them☠️
@@Ittosmelonyou’re so real for that 😭
i want to see these redditors say the same things about monsters university, which is essentially the same plot structure as the first tinker bell movie. but i doubt they will, because it's not really about the message 🙄
This comment blew my mind
Something about Jordy having experience in anthropology is SO good because it makes these analysis videos super fun and also makes me feel like I'm being educated. But in an enjoyable way. If that makes any sense
not me paying full attention to the video when i hear that jordy is a fellow anthropologist
this means everything to me
I thought she was just joking abt being an anthropologist but that does add a super interesting lens iwkdjfjebw
Omg I didn’t know that fellow anthropologist here
No Jordy, please do not make me think about what would've happened if she hit a rat
Tinkerbell is the story of a girl with autism who has her own special and new wave of participating in her special interest but is discouraged from that interest because she does it her own way, and because she feels so unwanted in the field of interest she likes she forces herself to try and do other things in an attempt to feel accepted, AND NOBODY CAN CHANGE MY MIND! The way she doesn’t clock Vidya hating her or tricking her, the way she doesn’t notice the social cues that would tell her people are thinking she’s weird or annoying. THATS AUTISM BABY! nobody can tell me different!
in hindsight this movie resonated a lot with me as a little undiagnosed girl and even more now as an autistic adult woman engineer 🥺 Tink felt like too much to everyone around her in the same way I did
THIS!! I’ve been diagnosed with autism my entire life and the tinkerbell movies were my first ever spinterest
damn no wonder i was so obsessed with these movies😭 they WERE my special interest
TRUE!!!! tinker bell is autistic and bisexual that’s my take
YES I'm not the only person who sees it like that, I resonated with this movie so strongly as a child and then later realized "oh my god, this could be read as an autism allegory" boy the self discovery journey that followed 😭
Reddit dads when they realize that their 5 year old daughters dont look into movies that deeply (they just really love fairies)
I AM CACKLING I DIDNT KNOW JESSE MCCARTNEY DID SO MUCH VOICE ACTING
mister foot fetish himself
He even played Robin (Dick Grayson) in Young Justice ❤, he’s a natural
i have an entire box of little trinkets dating back to 2007.. yes i did watch tinkerbell religiously as a kid
ICONIC
I grew up LOVING these movies. Like, absolutely obsessed with these movies. I would rewatch all of them so frequently. They are all iconic in my eyes. And now as a nonbinary autistic adult I think I resonate with Tinkerbell even more. Like yessss girl, don’t read the room at all! Slay ✨. Also Vidia was for *sure* a big crush for me
The girl gang in my opinion is why the pirate fairy is the best Tinkerbell movie.
omg need to watch that one
Maybe the scientists complaint is about a third movie with a scientist dad being kinda the antagonist
The fact that this movie was supposed to have a different and dark storyline, lowkey wish that version never got scrapped
omg i need to explore this
@@jordyscomputer Yes def do its crazy on how it all went down, it was suppsoed be called Tinker Bell the Ring of Belief. It was like 90% fininshed but then got scrapped. Brittany Murphy was also suppose to play Tinker Bell
I'm going to name my child Tinkerat now
my sister and i have been rewatching these movies together recently! they played such a big part of my childhood and i’m SO BITTER we never got any more movies.
also, i sob uncontrollably every damn time i listen to the soundtrack, it’s genuinely just so beautiful.
10:51 Ironically, one of the original ideas for the first Tinkerbell movie ended with a scene of the girls going to a concert for a fairy rock band called "The Pixie Chicks" which actually has partially done official 3D animation floating around somewhere on the web
OMG NO WAY i need to track this down
These Tinker Bell movies have been staples of my childhood and I think they’re criminally underrated. I love the story, characters, animation, and the soundtrack. Holy crap, the soundtrack! This is the definition of childhood wonder encapsulated into these movies, even though their main purpose is to sell toys.
I just rewatched Tinkerbell the other night and actually wondered the same thing as this random father on Reddit, about how the other fairies wouldn’t have jobs. But I’m glad that theory was debunked with this video as it broke my soul thinking about it😔 pixie hollow really said socialism ✊ 💀
HAHAHHA precisely
socialism still uses money, so pixie hollow would be communist :3
As a young boy I LOVED these movies to an insane degree, I would make my blanket fort, take my lil foldable dvd player and watch it while eating whatever snack I chose. I have every one of the movies on dvd and they are a treasure. My siblings don’t share my love for these movies. Also, justice for Terrance! He was treated awfully in the second movie by Tink and it makes me so upset lmaooo. Also Vidia (hope I spelt that right) is like the best character ever, can’t change my mind
THIS IS THE SWEETEST THING EVER OMG 🥹🥹
The Industrial Revolution of Pixie Hollow isn't necessarily one to stay. All the inventions were needed to bring Spring in time, there was no other way. After spring was saved, most fairies reverted back to their old ways of doing things, because the inventions weren't needed anymore. Ofcourse some still used them, but they didn't take over Pixie Hollow entirely. You can see all this in the other movies and books.
Dads are really so misogynistic they can’t even let their daughters enjoy fun and inspiring movies. I literally want to laugh at any man who agreed with that Reddit post.
Obsessed with this analysis, especially what sparked it😭. These movies will always have a special place in our hearts fr🥺
I think the "scientist being overzealous and joyless" point was made not for the fairies but for the dad from Tinlerbell and The Great Fairy Rescue...
😭😂Honestly would love to see your review of that movie
My dad loves the tinkerbell movies and so do I, guess what you can like star wars AND tinkerbell movies! Take that daddit
KING SHIT
i recently went through some not so joyous things in life as well and did a Tinkerbell marathon (i was inspired when you did the pixy hollow website livestream) and cried👏my 👏eyes👏out👏 the fact that these movies hit even harder when you're an adult proves that they're are masterpieces and disney should bring back the fairy girlies because when need them today more than ever☝️🤓
YESSSSSS omg this is incredible
Bro watching this video was an EXPERIENCE considering I was 4 years old in 2008 and watched the movie in Spanish.
1. What is it like being the funniest person on the planet
2. I desperately need to hear your take on the book series cause Rani deserved a spot in these movies
I love how she found the non copyright editor software 😂. Good for you girl
wait that exists?!?! I had to do it all myself LOL
@jordysyoutubechannel, yeah, some editing software have full libraries of free stock images or videos that you can use in videos.
"I'm sure she's not going to have to reconnect with her sense of femininity and girlhood later in life" this is such a good way of putting this, this is what I'm going through right now, trying to unlearn all that behaviour and figuring out what really makes me happy, super cute feminine things :(
Tinks choosing of destiny is alot like the ceremony Jedi go though when being chosen by a kyber krystal. The brighter the glow the higher the connection.
tinkerbell 🤝 tinkering
I used to know a girl who liked to go by tinker bell. I remember the first time I saw her and thinking "wow she looks taylor swift" lmao
Heck yeah! Jordy defeating Daddit with logic
Ran over here queen. Also got an ad for a Chelsea doll though. So IDK if RUclips thinks I'm a kid or a parent 💀
Bro same. Idk what they think
Me too!
I did too
Barbie for me lool
I grew up with the first three Tinker Bell movies and as an adult, I kinda think the think the “scientists being overzealous and joyless” point sort of applies to the third film, The Great Fairy Rescue.
Lizzie’s (Tinker Bell’s human friend) father is a scientist-dude who doesn’t believe in magic and tries discouraging her interest in fairies. His actions such as collecting insects and trying to get Lizzie interested in mineralogy are seen as antagonistic, when in reality he’s trying to raise a daughter that could succeed and grow in the STEM field and be a mature parental figure.
I haven’t seen the film in a decade, so I don’t remember if the Dad gets in trouble for not bringing Vidia to his job or whatever, but I guess Disney was trying to show that the more malleable and childlike you are, the better you will be as a parent.
I loved the Tinkerbell films omg 😭
Edit: why the fuck does Daddit sound like Barbie "detractors"
Edits edit: Did anyone else used to ship Vidia n Tinkerbell when they when they were younger 💀
When I was younger no because I was told that kinda thing is not an option but rewatching the video I totally thought about it lol
Suddenly feeling a lot of gender affirmation as a trans girl for the fact that my childhood play was always looking for trash I could turn into a trinket or repurpose. A lot of railroad stuff since I grew up in a rail-trail network, railroad spikes were (and still are) often my tool of choice when I had to do something.
the only thing the tinkerbell movies sabotaged is my sexuality
Broooo you’re so underrated the jokes you crack are so funny that I actually audiby laugh 😭😭
this means EVERYTHING to me thank you!
I actually never watched the Tinkerbell movie growing up, but I had a doll of Fawn and knew about the other fairies. After watching your video, I think I missed out on an integral part of girlhood. 😭😭 Also, congrats, Jordy, you're at 14K now!!
never too late to be a tinkerbell movie enjoyer! thank you so so much
Pixie Hollow is exactly what my mind palace looks like too-- I have never felt so seen😯 Also I just love these movies and your humor and yeah this is a fun video. Good job✨🧚♀
omg i’m so honored thank you so much!!!
As a child I won a painting contest at the Prado Museum. I became known as sort of an "art prodigy" for some time. Then a few years later I lost interest in paiting. I'd been trying to finish a novel since I basically learnt to write and wanted to concentrate on that. I loved it, but according to my mom, I didn't do it as well nor would it lead me to fame like painting did. As I was still a young child she told me over and over how I was "like Tinkerbell, denying her true gift". It made me feel awful because it implied I wasn't good at writing, which was and still is my passion.
what an absolute joy this is
thank you chuppl
I just realized that I would be a tinker fairy. I don’t like water, I don’t like flowers, and I don’t like going outside. That means my only option is *tinkering.*
jordy this is incredibly random and im kind of living for it, slay !
pookie is covering all her bases and we LIVEEE
@@eggzuki random reddit drama between her usual content? what a serve !
That one dad who really commented just to say “WELL GOOD THING MY DAUGHTER ISNT LIKE *OTHER* GIRLS 🥴” like omfg shut up 😭
That squirrel getting hit in the face still gives me such dang empathy tears 😢
This came into my recommendations and I'm so glad it did! Going to go through the backlog later, we share a thought train plus trifecta of Bratz, Barbie and Pixie Hollow content is an instant sub. Thank you 💜. As a KH fan from the first game and a Jesse fangirlie I can not describe how happy I also was to hear Jesse in KH2. Roxas fave character and it is a bias partially due to VA alone. The bestie and I still say "Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk" on the regular haha.
OMG THIS IS EVERYTHING thank you for being here!!!
No thank you! 😊
If anything, to me, the film is about embracing and learning to accept oneself as you are. That even if you don't think highly of yourself or your skills, they are still important and have a place. Tinkerbell looks down on her skills and wants to be something that she is not and has to go through the journey of discovery and exploration to accept who she is and to embrace it
I always thought of tinker bell as a mechanic/engineer and was probably part of the reason I at one point wanted to be an engineer
Tinkerbell is my childhood icon. I watched to OG tinkerbell movie on DVD at LEAST 50 times. I watched the others at least 3 times but the OG was so good for me. I really enjoyed them
Also I avoided this video for a while in case some of my childhood was gunna break,
As a kid I wondered why the Wendy thing is a sweet moment when she’s just gonna try to kill her later
SAME like where did we go wrong
Clank and Bobble gives me the Timon and Pumbaa vibes (the one who doesn't have any clue on anything and the other who answers the question and the smarter one at the same time)
Terence gives me the cat noir/Adrien vibes (from Miraculous Ladybug) because of their personalities and both are blond
Vidia is Meg (aka Megara from Hercules) in my opinion but you can compare her from almost every series but maybe it's just me
iridessa gives me the Talia vibes (from Lolirock) in almost every single ways in both personalities, likes, dislikes and by appearances
Rosetta gives me mainly the Auriana vibes (from Lolirock) in almost every single ways but you can compare her from almost every series which have their girly-girl personalities
Fawn gives me the Sailor Jupiter/Makoto Kino vibes (from Sailor Moon) in both appearances and personalities but almost each series have tomboy(ish) personalities
you can compare Silvermist with anyone because almost each series have their east asian characters but i think she's a tiny bit more like Hay Lin because of her personalities
(from W.I.T.C.H)
i did my comparison on almost each characters that are in the first movie😁😁
NOW HOLD ONNN bc the Megara and Vidia comparison is so spot on, they have similar voices and personalities! and the Adrien/Cat Noir comparison for Terence is also accurate appearance wise, but thankfully Terence isn’t blind like Adrien 😭
My mom was OBSESSED with Tinker Bell. So you best believe that the day this movie released we hauled our asses to Walmart and snatched a dvd immediately 😂 Good times
Whoever said the tinker bell movies said they were problematic definitely didn’t understand the movie. I mean it’s literally fictional fairies.
The Tinkerbell series has some of my absolute favorite movies! Secret of the Wings is my favorite though!
the tinkerbell movies were so inspirational they taught me so much
i think the scientists being overzealous and joyless point comes from one of the later movies where tinkerbell gets captured by a scientist who wants to present her to his science friends or whatever
Your personality brings so much to this video lol, love it. Excited to watch more of ur stuff.
I've watched this numerous times and the delivery of "I'm just the dust keeping guy...👀" makes me howl every single time 😭
Tinkerbell was literally how I came to terms with my diagnosis when I was told in JUNIOR YEAR OF HIGHSCHOOL I had autism when I had it my entire life. I was only diagnosed for ADHD because there were NO PROPER RESOURCES for autism beyond the "special ed" program which was just isolating the weird ones from normal kids and keeping them from corrupting the "normal" students. So my parents kept it from me for years until I genuinely needed the assistance a diagnosis could give.
Tinkerbell was how it made sense to me. Prilla too from the books. The fairies were always my special interest and to know I had so much in common with the main characters pieces truly just fell into place. These films up to (not inckuding) Pirate Fairy are SO important to neurodivergent and ESPECIALLY atuistic youth. Id encourge them to ANY parent for the feelings they so perfectly illustrate that are s o hard to express in the world we live in and how they can help those pieces to fit together and not be so TERRIFYING for children.
12:41 what a coincidence ive been cleaning and rearranging my new trinket shelf while listening, specifically as you said this i was on the BEACH THEMED ONE SPECIFICALLY 🤯 arranging my shells and sea glass lol
OMG
5:22 HOLD UP IS THAT A WINTER FAIRY?! ON THIS SIDE OF THE BORDER??? I smell a retcon
Yep
I love Secret of the Wings but the retcon bothers me *so much*
THE OPENING SONG WAS 😩😩😩😩 IT HAD ME BY THR THROAT WHEN I WAS LITTLE
I miss the Pixie Hollow books so much and this video makes me wanna hop over to my local library and check out as many as I can find
The tinker belle movies did not do tinker belle justice because in the Peter Pan movies she is sassy, spiteful and jealous so the tinker belle movies are basically not canon or they are saying something happened that changed her. In the Peter Pan movies she had the personality of the storm fairy more
It's been a hot minute since I last watched any of the tinkbell movies, but I do remember part of what made me like them in the 1st place is how there are bits of tink's nastier traits sprinkled throughout. Like her short temper, self-centeredness, stubbornness & impulsivity. The I think 2nd? movie (the lost treasure one) is basically all about the consequences of her anger issues! Since the whole series is meant to be a prequel to peter pan, I assumed the idea was that moving away from her friends in pixie hollow who helped keep her in check, & going to Neverland to live w/ a bunch of perpetual preteens caused her to become her worst self.
As my dad, and others, have taught me: "You can always find darkness, even in the brightest of places if you look hard enough."
You came through on this one! Loved the Tinkerbell movies growing up and I could not agree more with how iconic this movie is! 🧚♀️🌿✨💖
Would love to see you make a video on the other Tink movies
I’m so so so glad you liked it!!!
it’s actually insane how deep I buried bobble and clank™️ I cmpltly forgot abt them & this unlocked the memory of them so jarringly
3:33 i didnt even realize that tinkerbell was named after this 😭
I had a tinkerbell marathon last sunday and holy shit they aged so well I'm obsessed again help me
Did anyone else play that game called Disney Fairies, where you could make your own fairy characters? It was my favourite game as a kid, but it was so well hidden on the internet for some reason. Like, you had to search for the specific game, it wasn't on any game websites or Disney's website or anything, and then you had to log in and do a whole lot of stuff before you could actually play the game. But it was great.
Edit: It was called Pixie Hollow apparently, and it was shut down in 2013 (😭) However, in 2018, it was sort of re-released as We The Pixies (WTP for short). WTP is, to my understanding, much like Pixie Hollow, where you create a character and then roleplay or something. However, I just tried it, and it does not work. Maybe it works better on a computer? (I'm using my phone) Idk. If anyone has played WTP, please inform me if it actually works, or what the game is, thanks.
Strange. I’ve actually played it on my phone plenty of times and I’ve had no issue. What specifically isn’t working? I know another predecessor, Fairy ABC would only work on Fire Fox.
@theflyinghandofloob2062 Well when I have to pick between a boy or girl fairy and click 'create a fairy' or something, I cannot create a fairy. All I can do is switch between boy and girl.
I revisited the first movie about a week ago, and it reminded me of how much I LOVED these when I was little! I seriously wanted to be a tinker fairy, and catch me now studying in STEM :D This is the first video of you I see and I loved it! Subbed :D
I'm adding your videos to my playlist of my favorite animated move reviews :)
im so honored
I still have all of the tinker bell movies and they will always be special to me
Vidya fits right in with all the other moody goth animated girls of the early 2000s
I remember i cried EVERYTIME that song in the beginning started
i loved tinkerbell so much that i had SO MUCH MERCH for her. pjs, bed set, toys, etc. i event had her doll once. and i’m STILL into it. (also, silvermist was my favorite, i had a crush on her and vidiya but i also wanted to be her-)
You should totally do a commentary on the pirate fairy’s movie I loved it as a kid
This is such a funny concept for a video, I'd love to see you look at all the movies in the franchise like this 😂
Best video to date I love this sm
tysm king
I think the scientist bit is more talking about the adult scientist in The Great Fairy Rescue, who wanted to skewer Tink and study her after Tink exposed herself to tell him off for calling his daughter a liar b/c she said fairies are real.
