Why did Disney cancel the last Disney Fairies movie? Why have we gotten nothing about Tinker Bell and Pixie Hollow except that one Peter Pan movie that didn’t do as well as fans had hoped? The movies were amazing – and with more and more shows from the 2000s coming back – Avatar: The Last Airbender being one – why shouldn’t Disney bring back the Disney Fairies franchise? And what better way to do that than by adapting the Disney Fairies books?
What Is Disney Fairies?
If Disney did this, so many OG fans of the franchise would be right back in front of the TV watching the movies, but they’d also capture the hearts of a new generation.
In addition to the main fairy books – the series is called Tales of Pixie Hollow, if you wanted to check them out – there are also The Never Girls, which has its own spinoff called Finding Tinker Bell.
There’s also a graphic novel series that is so cute, and I’m so sad I didn’t know about it until I started researching all the Disney Fairies media. There are characters from the books that weren’t in the movies, as well as some movie-only characters.
More Fairies, Please!
Let’s focus on Tales of Pixie Hollow. There are 27 separate books following different fairies and stories around Pixie Hollow and Neverland. In the books, we meet fairies that never made appearances in the movies, like Bess, Prilla, and Fira.
Out of all the books, Rani in the Mermaid Lagoon was the one I loved the most when I was a child. It allowed readers to explore more about Neverland from the perspective of Rani, a fairy who cut off her wings to save Mother Dove and Neverland.

Pixie Hollow and Fairy Magic Is Different in the Books
Now, let’s move on to the other Disney Fairy books that aren’t part of Tales of Pixie Hollow, The Never Girls, or the graphic novels.
Gail Carson Levine wrote a trilogy for the Disney Fairies franchise, which shows us how Rani lost her wings and saved Neverland, as well as Wendy Darling’s descendant.
The first book, Fairy Dust and the Quest for the Egg, is the first introduction of Prilla, who doesn’t seem to have a talent. It sees Rani, Vidia, and Prilla head off on a quest to repair Mother Dove’s egg.
The second, Fairy Haven and the Quest for the Wand, sees the consequences of the first book – most notably, Rani’s promise to a mermaid, Soop. It’s a cute and heartwarming story that sees a lot of character growth from Rani and Tinker Bell.
The third and final, Fairies and the Quest for Never Land, is when Wendy Darling’s descendant be escorted to Neverland by Peter Pan to help save the fairies’ home.
If Disney adapted this trilogy first, it could easily serve as a new continuation for a future Fairies franchise that could continue for years.

Who Are ‘The Never Girls’?
As for The Never Girls, it follows four friends who discover a magic passageway to Never Land. There, they meet the fairies and mermaids. The friends join the magical characters for various adventures.
And the spin-off series, Finding Tinker Bell, sees the friends help the fairies go on a quest to help Tinker Bell get back to Pixie Hollow. It’s similar to how the fairies went on a mission in The Great Fairy Rescue to get Tinker Bell back from the humans.
The series is cute, and I’m sure young and older Peter Pan fans would find this series just as endearing as I do.
So, my only question for Disney – why haven’t you done this yet?
