Why is Disney now referring to Tinker Bell as a fairy? She's a pixie, not a fairy. Throughout the movie, she's referred to as pixie. Pixie dust, etc. Never as a fairy. Why is she a fairy now? The two aren't interchangeable. Fairies are elegant, magical, supernatural creatures. Pixies are much baser, less well-dressed, and generally helpful to humans by performing household tasks. Why the change? Is she now supposed to be this elegant creature? If so, then they've completely changed her character. Quit messing with the myth, people. The whole "fairy" thing has made me avoid the series...I hate inaccuracy, especially when it's a character I like a lot. It's like when she talked in the movie Hook...and granted "wishes". WTF? I'm sure if Tink had wishes, Wendy would have been a goner for real, or Peter would have returned her love. She doesn't speak, and she doesn't grant wishes. Way to eff up the character.
It also bugs when she's referred to as Tinkerbell. It's two words: Tinker Bell. Yeesh.
Yes, I realize I'm probably the only one who cares about this.
