I was in a production of Peter Pan. In it, Wendy mentioned that she couldn't hear any fairies; all she could hear was a quiet sound that sounded like the "tinkling of bells." TINKLING OF BELLS- TINKER BELL! A whole new meaning. —Lulamorashi
Her named initially came from her being a blacksmith type of fairy.. one who "tinkered" on bells. It's probably a double meaning, like the above posted mentioned. - Gallows
Specifically, Tinker Bell "mends the pots and pans". That's the definition of a tinker. According to dictionary.com: "a mender of pots, kettles, pans, etc., usually an itinerant."
I am now picturing Tinker Bell with a fairy-sized hammer, making fairy-sized swords that double as bellringers. - Kintatsu
Tiger Lily and her Indian tribe behave just the way a boy like Peter Pan would assume Indians behave (instead of behaving like any real life Native American tribe), which fits with the way Neverland seems to shape reality to conform to Peter Pan's imagination. — Pamina
Fridge Horror
Why doesn't Hook just kill Peter while he's asleep, instead of poisoning his medicine? Obviously cause he wants him to suffer. Meaning this poison is meant to kill you veeery, veeery slowly. Think of how long Tinkerbell, who is many times smaller than Peter, managed to survive after drinking the poison and before she's healed by clapping. Peter would have been in agony for hours, probably.
