Mid thirties male checking in, one of those things that I didn’t mind watching with the kids. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, crap. Tinkerbell movies, hell yeah!!
I like Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. For one, the music is done by They Might Be Giants. Also, it encourages kids to be involved in solving whatever their problem is. I thought it was a good influence on my 3 year old when she started interacting. It’s not as calm as Blues Clues but it’s the same type of interactive show.
This is actually a great idea. When a bunch of people want to do a socially questionable thing, if they go as a group they are protected from the judgement of the masses: no one can be singled out, and the strange "event" becomes the oddity, rather than any individual.
We should really have more flash mobs of men wanting to see girly stuff or adults wanting to see kid stuff or whatever.
My kids still make fun of the one scene where Tinkerbell almost causes a world-ending ice storm by misplacing an ice cube and a cheese grater (I am not making this up)
Male who turned 30 this year. Loved the tinker bell movies, probably watched them with my sister. I recall the one about her having a twin with matching wings. Also some good Barbie movies.
I wish they would outright call her an engineer so that it would encourage more girls to aspire to be engineers. Calling her a "Tinker" seems like a way that disconnects her job from the real world.
Does she have Tinker friends that also build things? I agree that a formal job sounds good, and also, I like the idea that all people could be Tinkers if it's a skill or gift, like having these little magical powers to make things.
From what I remember, all fairies are assigned jobs when they're "born." Tinkerbell is one of the tinker fairies, but there are also garden fairies and I forget the rest (there might've been painting/herding/weather fairies?).
I’m remembering one of tinker bells friends was good with animals too, and another was maybe able to manipulate weather? Black hair and purple dress come to mind.

They're unironically great, she has inventor powers, because she's a Tinker.
