* CanonForeigner: The main six characters (and Queen Clarion, [[AdaptationPersonalityChange kind of]]) all appeared in the novels, but most of the other characters, including Periwinkle and Zarina, were invented for the movies, and their existence was never even hinted at in the book series.



* ChattyHairdresser: Rosetta is this, without the hairdresser part. But in the "bloopers" for second movie's special features, she can be seen giving a manicure to an owl... Yes, you read that correctly.

* ContinuityCameo: The credits of the first movie, contain drawings of the original cast from the Disney Fairies books.

to:

* CompositeCharacter: Several movie characters are composites of different book characters:
** Movie Tink has Book Tink's appearance, talent, and temper, but Prilla's GenkiGirl personality, main character status, and storyline about finding her talent. The sequence in which she tries her friends' talents only to fail miserably at all of them mirrors a similar sequence from ''Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg,'' in which Prilla attempts to discover her own talent through similar means.
** The movies' version of Queen Clarion occupies the role Mother Dove filled in the novel continuity. Movie Clarion has Book Clarion's name and title, Mother Dove's wise, maternal personality, and a totally new, [[EverythingsBetterWithSparkles very sparkly]] design.
** Lord Milori is just a gender-swapped version of the Minister of Winter, but he has the same FictionalDisability as Rani from the books. Like Rani, he can't fly, so he rides around on a white bird (Rani's was a dove, Milori's is a snowy owl). He and Rani even have similar color schemes, although the similarities don't go much further than that.
* ContinuityCameo: The credits of the first movie, movie contain drawings of the original cast from the Disney Fairies books.



* LighterAndSofter: Than Gail Carson Levine's books.

to:

* LighterAndSofter: Than Compared to Gail Carson Levine's books.trilogy and some of Disney's follow-up novels, the films are arguably the lightest and softest incarnation of the franchise (barring ''Never Girls,'' although that's debatable). The Gail Carson Levine books all centered on high-stakes, life-or-death catastrophes (namely a hurricane, a flood, and a battle with an evil dragon), and several fairies are injured and/or killed in every installment (NeverSayDie and BloodlessCarnage are both noticeably averted). The movies, in comparison, are far more lighthearted in tone, and there are no character deaths at any point. The book fairies with the darkest storylines were all AdaptedOut or [[AdaptationPersonalityChange significantly overhauled]] to make the tonal shift work, and the backstory of Pixie Hollow[[note]]originally "Fairy Haven"[[/note]] was changed to remove all references to former GloryDays and the [[ApocalypseHow volcanic eruption that ended them]]. In the movies, the setting is generally peaceful and utopian, and there are no natural disasters.

* SceneryCensor: {{Subverted|Trope}} in ''The Great Fairy Rescue''. At one point, Tink is shown sitting with her bare feet sticking out of the tiny bathtub in Lizzie's dollhouse, making it appear as though she's [[BathtubScene bathing in the nude]]. She then steps out, where it's revealed that she actually only took off her shoes and is still fully clothed.



* SirNotAppearingInThisTrailer: Despite being the antagonist, Vidia made no appearances in the trailers for the Tinker Bell movie, outside of a two-second appearance in a sneak peek.

* AnIcePerson: The Winter fairies.



* AStormIsComing: And fairies can't fly with wet wings...
** It's later established that if a 'warm' fairy's wings get frozen, or a winter fairy's wings get too warm, they can break and are impossible to repair... [[spoiler: unless you have someone with the same exact wings...]]
