Tinker Bell (2008)
Main article: Tinker Bell (film)
Tinker Bell (Mae Whitman)
is born from the first laugh of a baby, and is brought by the winds to
Pixie Hollow (which is part of the island of Never Land). She learns
that her talent is to be one of the tinkers, the fairies who make and
fix things. Two other tinker fairies, Bobble (Rob Paulsen) and Clank (Jeff Bennett),
teach her their craft, and tell her about the fairies who visit the
mainland to bring each season. Tink is thrilled and can't wait to go to
the mainland for spring.While out working, she meets Silvermist (Lucy Liu), a water fairy; Rosetta (Kristin Chenoweth), a garden fairy; Iridessa (Raven-Symoné), a light fairy; and Fawn (America Ferrera), an animal fairy. After meeting them, she notices Vidia (Pamela Adlon), a fast-flying fairy who immediately dislikes her because of her unusually strong talent. Vidia challenges her to prove she'll be able to go to the mainland, and Tink creates several inventions, which she shows to the Minister of Spring (Steve Valentine). But Tinker Bell soon learns from Queen Clarion (Anjelica Huston) 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 Tink when questioned by Fairy Mary (Jane Horrocks), the tinker fairy overseer. When Tinker Bell returns, she tries to explain, but Mary simply responds that she knows, and expresses her disappointment with Tink'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 shouldn't matter. But Tinker Bell still wants to go to the mainland. She asks Rosetta if she'll still teach her to be a garden fairy, but Rosetta says 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 Tink making progress, she lets the captured thistles loose, and in attempting to recapture them, Tink destroys all the preparations for spring. Tink decides to leave, but after talking with the dust-keeper Terence (Jesse McCartney) 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 Tink 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 (shown to be Wendy Darling). 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."
Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure (2009)
Main article: Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure
The fairies (Mae Whitman, Kristin Chenoweth, Lucy Liu, Raven-Symoné,
Angela Bartys) are getting ready for the season of leaves, Halloween,
Thanksgiving, and pumpkins: autumn. Every eight years they create a new
fall scepter to a hold a precious moonstone. This moonstone will create
blue pixie dust that will restore the Pixie Dust Tree. It is the Tinker
Fairies' turn to create the new scepter and they choose Tinker Bell as
the maker. Tinker Bell gets her friend to help with the scepter project,
but she has trouble coping with Terence because he tries too hard to be
helpful. Tinker Bell finds him annoying and noisy. An accident occurs,
causing the precious moonstone to break. She goes on a quest to find the
magic mirror that grants three wishes. However, pirates had already
used up two of the wishes before they sank their ship. This means that
Tinker Bell only has one chance to make a wish with it. She finds the
ship and the lost mirror, but Tinker Bell ends up messing up her wish on
her new friend Blaze and cannot use it to restore the moonstone.
Terence finds Tinker Bell and they work together on the broken moonstone
to make a new scepter. After returning to Pixie Hollow, Tinker Bell is
ready to present the scepter to Queen Clarion. As the scepter is
revealed, all the fairies see the moonstone in pieces and are alarmed
but, as the moon rays fall, the moonstone shards create increased
surface area through which the blue moon rays can pass, thus creating
the biggest amount of blue fairy dust in history. Then Tinker Bell leads
the fairies to the Pixie Dust Tree where they strengthen it with the
fallen blue pixie dust. The movie ends with the song "Take to the Sky".Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue (2010)

Years before meeting Wendy and the Lost Boys, Tinker Bell (Mae Whitman) met Lizzy (Lauren Mote),
a little girl with a steadfast belief in the power of pixie dust and
the magic land of fairies. During the fairies' summer visit to the
flowering meadows of England, two very different worlds unite for the
first time and Tink develops a special bond with a curious child in need
of a friend. As her fellow fairies (Raven-Symoné, Lucy Liu, Kristin Chenoweth, Angela Bartys, Pamela Adlon) launch a daring rescue, Tinker Bell takes a huge risk, putting her own safety and the future of all fairykind in jeopardy.Pixie Hollow Games (2011)
Main article: Pixie Hollow Games
Originally planned to feature the entire ensemble cast of the earlier films in Olympic-style
games spanning the four seasons, presumably due to the original plot
vetoed by the producers, the story was scaled back into a shorter
scenario focusing primarily on Rosetta and a new fairy character, Chloe.
They are teamed up against their will representing the "garden fairies"
in a competition in which they hope to unseat the undefeated "storm
fairies". They overcome their differences and Rosetta's fear of getting
dirty, to emerge victorious at the end of the games.Secret of the Wings (2012)
Main article: Secret of the Wings
Tinker Bell crosses over to the forbidden area in Winter, when her
wings sparkle. She sets off on a quest to discover why and learns that
it's because she's near her sister, Periwinkle. They were born when a
baby's laugh splits in two. They visit for a few hours before Tinker
Bell is told she has to leave. Determined to help her sister visit Pixie
Hollow, she crafts a contraption that grates snow to keep Peri cold
during her visit. Unfortunately, it malfunctions and Peri almost doesn't
make it back to Winter in time. In the process, Tink's wing breaks.
However, Tink and Peri figure out how to save Pixie Hollow with frost
and in the process, Tink's wing is healed and they discover the winter
fairies can frost the warm fairies wings so they can visit the winter
area.
