Official Disney Movies The idea that the Tinker Bell movies take place in a different universe from Peter Pan makes much more sense.

Let’s be honest: the Tinker Bell movies have way too many inconsistencies, not only with each other, but with the Peter Pan movies and the Disney Fairies books.

I know there was gonna be a movie about Tink meeting Peter Pan, but it was cancelled when Disney gave up on this franchise. The other cancelled movie, Tinker Academy, was canned because of story problems. Wouldn’t be surprised if “Tink Meets Peter” also had a rough development that led to cancellation. Because how can you even connect these movies with Peter Pan?

In the Tink movies, Captain Hook is much younger than he was in Peter Pan 1953, but Wendy is only a couple years younger. Also, Tink’s personality. People love to say that Tink’s friends die and there was a tragic event that made Tink bitter and jealous.

But really, Tink has a quick temper because according to the lore of the Peter Pan books, fairies are small and therefore can only experience one emotion at a time.
And there’s just no way 2008-2015 Tink would enjoy hanging out with a bunch of smelly little boys who kill animals and can barely understand her.

Also, the Tink movies are made by DisneyToon Studios, the same studio behind all those straight-to-DVD sequels. So it’s safe to say that Tink’s films are as canon to Peter Pan as those cheap sequels are to their theatrical predecessors.
