History Franchise / DisneyFairies

* OnceMoreWithClarity: The encounter between Tinker Bell and the NeverBeast.

** Special mention for Nyx, a HeroAntagonist who shares her name with the Greek [[DarkIsNotEvil primordial goddess of night]] and who's WeaponOfChoice is [[KnockoutGas nightshade powder]].

* NoodleIncident: The stinkbug incident in ''Lost Treasure''.

* CasanovaWannabe: Scribble makes a valiant effort with Nyx in ''Legend of the Neverbeast'', alas to no avail. He even claims he's on WhatsUpKingDude terms with [[TheHighQueen Queen Clarion]].

* CassanovaWannabe: Scribble makes a valiant effort with Nyx in ''Legend of the Neverbeast'', alas to no avail. He even claims he's on WhatsUpKingDude terms with [[TheHighQueen Queen Clarion]].

* RipVanWinkle: Gruff only comes out of hibernation when a CometOfDoom causes a storm that threatens Pixie Hollow.

* NonMaliciousMonster: Gruff in ''Legend of the Neverbeast''. The fragments of his role in fairy history suggest that he's a threat, while in fact he protects Pixie Hollow from the effects of the CommetOfDoom.

* HeroAntagonist: Nyx is the primary antagonist in ''The Legend of the Neverbeast''. She and the other scout talent fairies are just trying to protect Pixie Hollow from harm, which makes them antagonistic to Fawn and Gruff.

* RipVanWinkle: Gruff only comes out of hibernation when a CometOfDoom causes a storm that threatens Pixie Hollow.

** Which makes sense, because they are named ''after'' getting their talent.

** In the books the "clothing talent" fairies are able to tell a fairy's or a sparrowman's measurements with a glance and have new clothing for them before they get settled into their rooms. In the movie ,Tinker Bell's clothing does not fit because the clothing talents haven't been able to measure her and thus she has to mend her dress herself.

** Fairies in the books feature many traits never shown in the movies. Book fairies never say "sorry", "excuse me" or call someone "Miss _____". They say things like "Fly with you" (be well) or "I'd fly backwards if I could" (I'm sorry).

* YouDontLookLikeYou: Fawn got a more toyetic redesign for ''Legend of the [=NeverBeast=]'', along with a new voice actor.

* AlternateContinuity: Several aspects of Pixie Hollow are different between the books and the movies. The continuity is essentially 100% different- the origin of Pixie Dust/Fairy Dust, the status of Mother Dove (major in the novel; not a thing in the movies), and more. Moreover, the books treat ''Peter Pan'' as events of the recent past -- the films clearly are prequels (set ''many'' years in the past of the original movie).

* MerchandiseDriven

* PintSizedPowerhouse: In both mediums the fairies are surprisingly strong for their size.

* TheHighQueen: Queen Clarion (sometimes called Queen Ree).

** In the first film Tinker Bell seems to be born as an adult.
*** So does that make her a newborn? How much time has passed between the second and first movies? What about the sparrow men? None of them seem to have any facial hair (besides Fairy Gary,) and none of the fairies have underarm or leg hair, which might imply that they're younger, or it might just be something unique to their species. Pixie Hollow in general doesn't seem to recognize age whatsoever. Do fairies have birthday parties?

* DemotedToExtra: Pretty much the entire book cast was demoted once the movie was released, replaced with characters who were, up until then, {{Recurring Extra}}s.
* DisabilitySuperpower: Rani cannot fly due to having no wings, but this grants her the ability to actually swim.
* DisneyDeath: Averted. Several fairies die throughout Gail Carson Levine's books, and they stay dead.

* InferredHolocaust: The fairies being subjected to a hurricane, a flood, and an escaped dragon in the span of what seems to be several months or years could not have been helpful to society as a whole. Also, if you take into account the movies happen before a massive battle that caused the changes from the films to the books, and there are many characters present in the movies before the battle and not in the books afterwards, it's inferred that many of those characters died.

* LighterAndSofter: The chapter books compared to Gail Carson Levine's novels.

* OddFriendship: Prilla and Vidia.
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: While the mermaids in the Mermaid Lagoon look as you'd expect them, they're selfish, vain, catty, and have the attention span of a gnat.

** An odd one, but, Vidia's characterisation is different. In the books, she never befriends Tink and her friends (in fact, being consistently characterized as an insincere, often cruel fairy usually getting one moment to taunt the lead character in each book), but in the movies, she becomes a member of the core 6. Unofficial second in command at that.

** General implication is that it was destroyed (along with most of Pixie Hollow) in a volcanic eruption.

* DarkIsNotEvil: Vidia, especially in her focus book.

* {{Flanderization}}: Inverted; Tinker Bell's feisty, jealous and sadistic side from the original ''Peter Pan'' novel is mostly gone in this series. That version of Tinker Bell probably would have tried to assassinate Vidia in the first movie (this ''is'' the same fairy that almost got Wendy killed because she was getting too close to Peter after all). May overlap with TookALevelInKindness. Or TookALevelInJerkass considering the movies at least all play before she meets Peter.

There are some differences from the "official" continuity, mainly in Tinker Bell's characterization--Tink is now a PluckyGirl Series/MacGyver, to fit more into the trends in the target demographic.

* AerithAndBob: Tinker Bell, Silvermist, Iridessa, Vidia, Bobble (although his real name is Phineas), Clank... compared with Terence, Mary, Rosetta and others.

* AlternateContinuity: Several aspects of Pixie Hollow are different between the books and the movies. (ex, seasons, when a fairy first arrives in Pixie Hollow, etc)
** In the films, fairies bring seasons to the mainland; they do no such thing in the books.

** An odd one, but, Vidia's characterisation is different. In the books, she doesn't really befriend Tink and her friends, but in the movies, she becomes a member of the core 6. Unofficial second in command at that.

-->'''Zarina''': Tinker Fairy Gary some trousers, cuz I just made pink Pixie Dust!"

* EverythingsSparklyWithJewelry: Taken UpToEleven at the end of ''The Pirate Fairy'' by Tink and Iridessa, diffracting moonlight through a diamond solitaire and bouncing it off mirrors and a splash from a water droplet, casting hundreds of points of light across a stadium full of fairies.
