Since 2008 Tinker Bell has become a key character for Disney with their Disney Fairies franchise which to date has seven animated movies starring Tinker Bell and her friends in Pixie Hollow. There are few details yet as to whether the Live Action will have any connection to these films or be a retelling of the Disney Classic Peter Pan, showing a new side to the story.

The Tinker Bell animated movies introduce Tinker Bell from her birth and discovery of who she is, set before she meets Peter Pan. The film series shows the character as a kind, curious and skilled fairy who helps her friends.

Perhaps the Live Action will explain what happened for Tinker Bell to become the jealous and quick-tempered fairy as seen in the animated Peter Pan.
