* {{Expy}}: Not sure if it would count, but ''Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure'' is just a more dramatictized verson of the ''Tink North of Neverland'' book.



* NiceJobBreakingItHero: In ''Secret of the Wings'', Lord Milori [[spoiler:has his Snowy Owl knock off the snowmaker off the bridge and into the stream, which gets stuck near the limitless ice on the winter shore, causing the snowstorm]]. This then causes the existence of the rest of Pixie Hollow to be threatened [[spoiler:as it threatens to kill the Pixie Dust Tree]]. And yet, he becomes a KarmaHoudini.

** In ''Pixie Hollow Games'', Rosette is shamed for being a GirlyGirl and being afraid of getting dirty in the games. While the message may be that you can be girly and still do well at sports, the structure of the story could also give the impression that you can't be ''both'', as Rosetta has to get filthy in order to redeem herself in the eyes of her friends.

game, not a trope.


* BetterThanItSounds: The mere fact that the first movie was released direct-to-video would raise a red flag for some Disney fans. The fact that it's about a bunch of fairies might lead one to conclude that it's just some hyper-sugary Barbie-esque CGI film marketed to 5-year-olds. Actually, it's surprisingly low on the saccharine and it's not too badly written, either.
** ''The Lost Treasure'' was apparently good enough to get a cinema release [[ShortRunInPeru in some countries]].

* HoYay: Silvermist, the water-talent fairy seems pretty into Tinker Bell. Or at least more affectionate than is "proper" for two platonic fairies! She greets Tink by stroking her nose and saying, "Easy...Silvermist's got ya."
** If we're going to get into HoYay for this fandom, that's hardly the most prominent example... the high ratio of female characters does increase the possibilities.

*** Between Tink referring to him as her best friend and the other dust fairies making fun of Terrence's crush on her, I'd say there's definitely enough there. Not to mention, it's the closest thing the fandom has to a legitimate romance.
