TINKERBELL

Newly born fairy Tinker Bell is transported by the wind to Pixie Hollow on the island of
Neverland and learns that, as a tinker, her job is to repair broken items. She learns that her
talent is to be one of the tinkers, the fairies who make and fix things. Two other tinker fairies,
Bobble and Clank teach her their craft, and tell her about the fairies who visit the mainland to
bring each season. Tinker Bell is thrilled and cannot wait to go to the mainland for spring.
While out working, she meets Silvermist , a water fairy; Rosetta , a garden fairy; a light fairy;
and Fawn , an animal fairy. After meeting them, she notices Vidia , a fast-flying fairy who
immediately dislikes her because of her unusually strong talent. Vidia challenges her to prove
she will be able to go to the mainland, and Tinker Bell creates several inventions, which she
shows to the Minister of Spring. But Tinker Bell soon learns from Queen Clarion that only
nature-talent fairies visit the mainland.
She tries her hand at nature skills; making dewdrops with Silvermist, lighting fireflies with
Iridessa, and trying with Fawn to teach baby birds to fly, but she fails miserably at all of these.
Meanwhile, Bobble and Clank cover for Tinker Bell when questioned by Fairy Mary, the tinker
fairy overseer. When Tinker Bell returns, she tries to explain, but Mary simply responds that she
knows, and expresses her disappointment with Tinker Bell's actions.
On the beach, Tinker Bell finds parts of a music box and figures out how to put them together.
Iridessa, Fawn, Silvermist, and Rosetta witness her doing this, then tell her that she was
tinkering and that she should be proud of her talent—if this is what she's good at, the mainland
should not matter. But Tinker Bell still wants to go to the mainland. She asks Rosetta if she will
still teach her to be a garden fairy, but Rosetta says she thinks that tinkering is Tinker Bell's
talent.
As a last resort, Tinker Bell asks Vidia for help in becoming a garden fairy. Vidia craftily tells her
that capturing the sprinting thistles would prove her worth. However, once she sees Tinker Bell
making progress, she lets the captured thistles loose, and in attempting to recapture them,
Tinker Bell destroys all the preparations for spring. Tinker Bell decides to leave, but after talking
with the light-keeper, Terence, about how important his job is, she realizes the importance of a
tinker.
Tinker Bell redeems herself by inventing machines that quicken the process of decorating
flowers, ladybugs, etc. This allows the other fairies to get back on schedule, thus saving the
arrival of spring. Vidia is punished for prompting her to cause the chaos, and Queen Clarion
allows Tinker Bell to join the nature-talent fairies when they bring spring to the mainland. Tinker
Bell is given the task of delivering the music box to its original owner . The narrator ends by
saying that when lost toys are found or a broken clock starts to work, "it all means that one very
special fairy might be near."
