the scene where Iradessa catches a ball of sunshine in a flower and the girlies ask her if its heavy so she responds "no, its light" genuinely has lived rent free in my head since I was 12

I never interpreted the Tinkerbell movies as having some sort of real life message like “you can only be good at one thing” I just saw it as “this is just how this fictional fairy world works!” I never thought that I could only be good at one thing because of these movies because the characters aren’t humans.

[@jordysyoutubechannel]

literally like even as children we knew it was never that serious

[@adriennekeener]

even if you do want to take it as real life messaging it's much more "don't try to be something you're not" than "you can only be good at one thing"

[@Lilstiffsocks69]

@@adriennekeeneryeah I saw it as a “love yourself and be who you are while being able to appreciate others talents as well.” It also can be a “work together.” Statement with how later on tinker bell innovates the other talents using lost things.

[@LCero10]

Yeah, my thought process was the same; idk why, but when I saw other things about fairies like Fairytopia from Barbie, I was like "omg friendship" and "omg you have to be good to others" but with Tinkerbell it was just "yes, the documentary about fairys, this is how they would act and how their world would be, thank you very much"

[@orangeoog1766]

Japan did a study on what girls like when trying to expand their toy ranges to girls early on, I can't remember the name of the paper BUT they found majority of little girls like smaller versions of real things, things that go into pockets and similar small stuff. We like trinkets.

When they're all using Tinkerbell's inventions to catch back up and be ready for spring there ARE fairies doing things that aren't aligned with their talent. Proving that not everyone is good at only one thing, and their talents are passions

[@ohhmangos]

Exactly! The movie teaches us as well that everyone's passions are valuable and no one passion is better than another!

Yeah... I don't know about you but it's also a negative point. It's the most we'll find in the movie. Besides, it was already seen coming. Just as we saw Iridessa storing rainbow rays in tubes to take them to the mainland, this is what would happen with Tinkerbell's inventions. 21:13 The other fairies would use their inventions.

I think the one scientist quote may be about the Fairy Rescue movie, they show a dad and her daughter, the dad being a man of science, looked down at the girl's interests in fairies, creativeness, fantasies and so. The man is so uptight w his beliefs in science, what is wrong or right, the importance of institutions and facts, so he doesn't believe in fairies, and the girl proves him wrong. Maybe he was referencing that particular movie, which in his defense it's true, but we all know that not all scientists are bitter or joyless, plus we all need a little bit of magic and fantasy in our lives, even bitter men using reddit

[@lsmmoore1]

And also, that movie takes place in the 19th century. That was the era when Ignatz Semmelweis ended up a broken man in response to the vitriol he got because he suggested people wash their hands when treating patients (basically, the scientists acted towards Semmelweis the way the scientists in Disney's Atlantis movie do towards Milo Thatch and his grandpa, even though it is common knowledge nowadays that you're supposed to wash hands when treating patients). It was also the era when Sigmund Freud turned towards now-debunked theories because of the scorn he got for his early insights on psychological trauma. And while there are still some scientists who have that attitude, there are far fewer of those now than there were back then, and there are folks who push back against this where they can because the attitude of that dad, quite frankly, makes for bad science (because rigorously testing a theory is one thing, dismissing it out of hand as "foolishness" in spite of evidence to the contrary is another, and from what I can tell, some important conservation opportunities were missed for years, even decades, as a result of that attitude, what with people believing animals to be less intelligent than they really are and failing to take into account how intelligence and learning affects their conservation prospects).

[@Danganfinronpa]

@@lsmmoore1Also, according to the deleted scene, “A Real Life Fairy,” Lizzie’s father believed in fairies too. That was, at least, till he told a girl that he saw a fairy, she blurted it out, and a rumor spiraled out of control that ended up with the tree that the fairy lived in burning down and his father shaming him for “bringing shame to their family.”

[@ihavenocluehowtochangethen2987]

I loved thst movie as a kid, and there’s a whole scene of Lizzie doing fairy science and making a whole Scienctific fairy research journal thst her father thinks is fake bcs he doesn’t believe in fairies. The point is listen to your kid and have some belief in magic in the world not science bad

I was a tinkerer as a kid and I got a really weird amount of hate by adults for it. Even if tinker bell was problematic I think the first movie will always have a special place in my heart.

I ran all the way to the comments as soon as you asked where Tinkerbell got her wand from. I don't think it was ever explained in the movies, but it was in the books! I read them when I was younger, and it showed when Tinkerbell picked out her wand. It's a small sewing needle🥰

I theorize that Tinker had problems learning the other talents is hinted in the beginning. My head canon is that her light was the brightest right? Her light/talent was tinkering. What if the brighter the light, the stronger the connection, and the weaker the connection to the other talents.

[@crazyowlgirlcncowner]

No Jordy, please do not make me think about what would've happened if she hit a rat

Something about Jordy having experience in anthropology is SO good because it makes these analysis videos super fun and also makes me feel like I'm being educated. But in an enjoyable way. If that makes any sense

[@rosiegracewilson]

I thought she was just joking abt being an anthropologist but that does add a super interesting lens iwkdjfjebw

[@SquirmieWormington]

Tinkerbell is the story of a girl with autism who has her own special and new wave of participating in her special interest but is discouraged from that interest because she does it her own way, and because she feels so unwanted in the field of interest she likes she forces herself to try and do other things in an attempt to feel accepted, AND NOBODY CAN CHANGE MY MIND! The way she doesn’t clock Vidya hating her or tricking her, the way she doesn’t notice the social cues that would tell her people are thinking she’s weird or annoying. THATS AUTISM BABY! nobody can tell me different!

[@juliahamilton8811]

in hindsight this movie resonated a lot with me as a little undiagnosed girl and even more now as an autistic adult woman engineer 🥺 Tink felt like too much to everyone around her in the same way I did

[@lemonymidnight]

THIS!! I’ve been diagnosed with autism my entire life and the tinkerbell movies were my first ever spinterest

[@froggiepie]

TRUE!!!! tinker bell is autistic and bisexual that’s my take

[@galactirabbit]

YES I'm not the only person who sees it like that, I resonated with this movie so strongly as a child and then later realized "oh my god, this could be read as an autism allegory" boy the self discovery journey that followed 😭

[@sofsof1572]

Maybe the scientists complaint is about a third movie with a scientist dad being kinda the antagonist

[@otter.mayhem]

Tinkerbell taught me to not compare my talents to others, and to be proud of myself. It also taught me to advocate for myself and the ways that I can contribute to a situation/society/etc that may be different than what's "normal". As a sensitive neurodivergent kid, Tinkerbell truly helped me learn that I am valuable and can be confident even if I don't "fit in" to the way society typically functions. I actually think Tinkerbell should get even more credit than it already gets. I love Tinkerbell, I watched all the movies and read all the books. I used to imagine that I'm just a pixie that the other pixies don't understand but that doesn't mean my talent is stupid. When Tink puts together the music box, it always makes me cry bc she's finally shown just being happy in her element and just doing her thing without the scrutiny or judgment of the other pixies.

[@jordysyoutubechannel]

i cry i love this so much!!!

[@nonbinary_pirate]

I grew up LOVING these movies. Like, absolutely obsessed with these movies. I would rewatch all of them so frequently. They are all iconic in my eyes.

These Tinker Bell movies have been staples of my childhood and I think they’re criminally underrated. I love the story, characters, animation, and the soundtrack. Holy crap, the soundtrack! This is the definition of childhood wonder encapsulated into these movies, even though their main purpose is to sell toys.

[@mauritsponnette]

The Industrial Revolution of Pixie Hollow isn't necessarily one to stay. All the inventions were needed to bring Spring in time, there was no other way. After spring was saved, most fairies reverted back to their old ways of doing things, because the inventions weren't needed anymore. Ofcourse some still used them, but they didn't take over Pixie Hollow entirely. You can see all this in the other movies and books.

As a child I won a painting contest at the Prado Museum. I became known as sort of an "art prodigy" for some time. Then a few years later I lost interest in paiting. I'd been trying to finish a novel since I basically learnt to write and wanted to concentrate on that. I loved it, but according to my mom, I didn't do it as well nor would it lead me to fame like painting did. As I was still a young child she told me over and over how I was "like Tinkerbell, denying her true gift". It made me feel awful because it implied I wasn't good at writing, which was and still is my passion.

[@Antifearn]

I grew up with the first three Tinker Bell movies and as an adult, I kinda think the think the “scientists being overzealous and joyless” point sort of applies to the third film, The Great Fairy Rescue. Lizzie’s (Tinker Bell’s human friend) father is a scientist-dude who doesn’t believe in magic and tries discouraging her interest in fairies. His actions such as collecting insects and trying to get Lizzie interested in mineralogy are seen as antagonistic, when in reality he’s trying to raise a daughter that could succeed and grow in the STEM field and be a mature parental figure. I haven’t seen the film in a decade, so I don’t remember if the Dad gets in trouble for not bringing Vidia to his job or whatever, but I guess Disney was trying to show that the more malleable and childlike you are, the better you will be as a parent.

[@jennysomething3666]

The tinker belle movies did not do tinker belle justice because in the Peter Pan movies she is sassy, spiteful and jealous so the tinker belle movies are basically not canon or they are saying something happened that changed her. In the Peter Pan movies she had the personality of the storm fairy more

[@melancholyjones2873]

It's been a hot minute since I last watched any of the tinkbell movies, but I do remember part of what made me like them in the 1st place is how there are bits of tink's nastier traits sprinkled throughout. Like her short temper, self-centeredness, stubbornness & impulsivity. The I think 2nd? movie (the lost treasure one) is basically all about the consequences of her anger issues! Since the whole series is meant to be a prequel to peter pan, I assumed the idea was that moving away from her friends in pixie hollow who helped keep her in check, & going to Neverland to live w/ a bunch of perpetual preteens caused her to become her worst self.

I still have all of the tinker bell movies and they will always be special to me

[@DJ-ECHO357]

Wow I didn't know Winter fairies can only survive the warm seasons in the first movie

[@bellayani6340]

Whoever said the tinker bell movies said they were problematic definitely didn’t understand the movie. I mean it’s literally fictional fairies.

[@nicoledin7091]

As a kid I wondered why the Wendy thing is a sweet moment when she’s just gonna try to kill her later

[@jordysyoutubechannel]

SAME like where did we go wrong

[@heloas1046]

I remember i cried EVERYTIME that song in the beginning started

[@glowstickspinalfluid]

i think the scientists being overzealous and joyless point comes from one of the later movies where tinkerbell gets captured by a scientist who wants to present her to his science friends or whatever

[@gloomiiii]

I just realized that I would be a tinker fairy. I don’t like water, I don’t like flowers, and I don’t like going outside. That means my only option is *tinkering.*

This came into my recommendations and I'm so glad it did! Going to go through the backlog later, we share a thought train plus trifecta of Bratz, Barbie and Pixie Hollow content is an instant sub. Thank you 💜. As a KH fan from the first game and a Jesse fangirlie I can not describe how happy I also was to hear Jesse in KH2. Roxas fave character and it is a bias partially due to VA alone. The bestie and I still say "Thank you for coming to my TEDtalk" on the regular haha.

[@jordysyoutubechannel]

OMG THIS IS EVERYTHING thank you for being here!!!

[@mara-rose_theirin]

No thank you! 😊

Vidya fits right in with all the other moody goth animated girls of the early 2000s

Did anyone else play that game called Disney Fairies, where you could make your own fairy characters? It was my favourite game as a kid, but it was so well hidden on the internet for some reason. Like, you had to search for the specific game, it wasn't on any game websites or Disney's website or anything, and then you had to log in and do a whole lot of stuff before you could actually play the game. But it was great. Edit: It was called Pixie Hollow apparently, and it was shut down in 2013 (😭) However, in 2018, it was sort of re-released as We The Pixies (WTP for short). WTP is, to my understanding, much like Pixie Hollow, where you create a character and then roleplay or something. However, I just tried it, and it does not work. Maybe it works better on a computer? (I'm using my phone) Idk. If anyone has played WTP, please inform me if it actually works, or what the game is, thanks.

That squirrel getting hit in the face still gives me such dang empathy tears 😢

[@Thekimeebee]

Tinkerbell is my childhood icon. I watched to OG tinkerbell movie on DVD at LEAST 50 times. I watched the others at least 3 times but the OG was so good for me. I really enjoyed them

[@Thekimeebee]

Also I avoided this video for a while in case some of my childhood was gunna break,

[@crazyowlgirlcncowner]

I would buy any insurance that Jordy advertises (no I wouldn't I have zero monies) 💀

[@McClintonforThree]

Only problem with these movies is that they stopped making them.

[@hailee1001]

12:41 what a coincidence ive been cleaning and rearranging my new trinket shelf while listening, specifically as you said this i was on the BEACH THEMED ONE SPECIFICALLY 🤯 arranging my shells and sea glass lol

[@jordysyoutubechannel]

OMG

[@peachypufff]

i loved tinkerbell so much that i had SO MUCH MERCH for her. pjs, bed set, toys, etc. i event had her doll once. and i’m STILL into it. (also, silvermist was my favorite, i had a crush on her and vidiya but i also wanted to be her-)

[@cantdecideausername8584]

I really want a tinker bell 7, probably about Tinkerbell meeting peter pan for the first time.

[@muhammadsabil1407]

In fact, I want to have 100 Tinkerbell films

[@chuppl]

what an absolute joy this is

[@jordysyoutubechannel]

thank you chuppl

[@brandiarmstrong2902]

I think the scientist bit is more talking about the adult scientist in The Great Fairy Rescue, who wanted to skewer Tink and study her after Tink exposed herself to tell him off for calling his daughter a liar b/c she said fairies are real.

[@Stars4_sal]

You should totally do a commentary on the pirate fairy’s movie I loved it as a kid

[@fluxtheweirdo1237]

I had a tinkerbell marathon last sunday and holy shit they aged so well I'm obsessed again help me

[@mk-aka-morgan8386]

This is such a funny concept for a video, I'd love to see you look at all the movies in the franchise like this 😂

[@austinlord9934]

You came through on this one! Loved the Tinkerbell movies growing up and I could not agree more with how iconic this movie is! 🧚‍♀️🌿✨💖 Would love to see you make a video on the other Tink movies

[@jordysyoutubechannel]

I’m so so so glad you liked it!!!

[@alisonbea]

I have to say the only time I ever get Barbie/Mattel ads on KZbin is when I watch your channel😭😭

[@jordysyoutubechannel]

KZbin knows what they are doing!

[@spacecat7864]

20:40 this line is something you’d only hear in a KZbin video essay and I love it

[@jordysyoutubechannel]

LMAOOOOOO honestly so true

[@kaylieb.1265]

i think the scientist part was talking about the scientist in the movie where tinker bell meets a human, the scientist that kept her in a jar and had butterflies on display

[@Ilikestarwars1245]

I agree with you that in this first movie The fairies talent represents their passion and not just the one thing that they're good at but I think by the fifth film it becomes just the one thing that they're good at because in that movie it's shown that they can actually switch talents and be unable to use their old talent and can only use their new talent even if they don't like it.

[@shelbythisisaresidentialar5397]

Reddit and dadhood should never mix

[@BeeCryptic]

i love jordys videos more than i love my own children

[@fabycho6791]

Imagine your Dad bitching about the agenda of the Tinkerbell movie 😒🙌🙄 sounds like a nightmare 😳

[@Lol-ll5gh]

mae whitman is also Roxy in scott pilgrim ! Also I'm so sad they didn't include Rani in the movies considering how important she was to the book series plot😭 If you haven't read them, check them out! The art is gorgeous and everything i wish the movies were. Rani in the Mermaid Lagoon is my favorite cause mermaids There's also a manga version!
