Pixie Hollow Games is a 30-minute television special broadcast on November 19, 2011, on Disney Channel. Based on the Disney Fairies franchise, it was produced by DisneyToon Studios and animated by Prana Studios.[2] It features the voices of Mae Whitman, Lucy Liu, Raven-Symoné, Megan Hilty, Angela Bartys, and others, as Tinker Bell and the other fairies of Pixie Hollow in Never Land, taking part in an Olympic-style competition. It is based loosely on J. M. Barrie's Peter Pan stories, by way of Disney's animated adaptation.
It was originally intended as the last of five feature-length films in the Tinker Bell series of direct-to-DVD 3D animated films, with the title Tinker Bell: Race through the Seasons, and a release date in 2012. However, the movie was rescheduled and retooled as a TV special instead of a film-length movie. Unlike the previous feature films in this series, Tinker Bell is not a central featured character in this special release.
Plot[edit]
Rosetta is busy helping to set up flowers for the big night, when she meets a new garden fairy named Chloe. Chloe announces she has been training for the Pixie Hollow Games and is excited to be competing. Even though the garden fairies have little hope of winning and haven't ever won, Chloe is confident that she and her partner can turn things around and end their losing streak. When it comes time for the team selection, Chloe has already volunteered and Rosetta is selected to be her partner.
On the night of the games, Rosetta wears a fancy gown, certain that she and Chloe will be eliminated after one round. The storm fairies, Rumble and Glimmer, are the heavy favorites to win the competition due to their winning streak and having winners rings for almost every finger. The first event is leapfrogging. Rosetta refuses to get onto the frog, but finally does when the spectators yell in protest, leading to total chaos on the racetrack.
The next day, Rosetta and Chloe continue to compete in a series of games, such as dragonfly water skiing, twig-spheres, and mouse polo, slowly moving up in the standings during each game. The final challenge (a teacup race) arrives. Chloe dives down the chute with no trouble, but Rosetta nervously crawls down the chute, to Chloe's dismay. Rosetta's actions put them in last place, causing Chloe to start doubting her. Meanwhile, other teams start dropping which leaves only the garden and storm fairies.
Rosetta and Chloe take the mudslide mountain shortcut and successfully make it over thanks to Tinker Bell. However, in the last leg of the race, Rumble uses Glimmer's lightning ability to zap one of the wheels causing the girls' cart to crash. Glimmer is appalled. Seeing their cart destroyed, Rosetta and Chloe push their cart over the finish line and finish together. While Rumble celebrates his victory, Queen Clarion announces that the garden fairies are the winners. Rumble protests, until she shows him that Glimmer abandoned him just before the finish line for cheating, giving the victory to the garden fairies. Rosetta and Chloe broke their losing streak and they celebrate with their friends.

Pixie Hollow Fairy Garden opened in 2009 at Disney World in Florida as part of the 16th Annual Epcot® International Flower & Garden Festival. It was near the entrance of the Mouse Gear gift shop in Future World.
On March 21, 2009, an official ribbon cutting ceremony for Pixie Hollow Fairy Garden announced the new play area for children ages 2-5 and their families.
The Fairy Garden featured topiary replicas of Tinker Bell (the best friend of Peter Pan), Fawn (the Nature/Animal Fairy), Iridessa (the Light Fairy), Silvermist (the Water Fairy), and Rosetta (the Flower and Garden Fairy). Also dotting the gardens were the tools and treasures of the fairies as well as a tea kettle fairy house where Tinker Bell lived.
The opening tied in to the direct to DVD animated feature, “Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure” and later Disney fairy movies, the “Pixie Hollow” animated series, and subsequent spin-off movies.
During the ribbon cutting ceremony five young women playing the part of Tinker Bell and four of her fairy friends Fawn, Iridessa, Rosetta, Silvermist appeared to the crowd but did not talk, because they can’t speak outside of Pixie Hollow. However, after the opening ceremony Tink and her fellow fairies quietly played with the day’s honorary pixies.

“I promise to do my best to protect the environment and to always be green. And I also promise to honor Nature. And I believe in Never Land. And I believe in fairies.” — The Pixie Pledge (taken by honorary fairies)
Every day at 2 p.m. children are invited to dress in their favorite fanciful frocks and be part of a grand Fairy & Princess Processional through the colorful surroundings.
As visitors walked the lush grass pathway (ForeverLawn) through the Fairy Garden, they were reminded to clap their hands if they heard a baby laughing because that meant a baby fairy was being born; to flap their arms if they heard the sound of a bird; to move their arms forward as if swimming if they heard the sound of water; and if they heard a tiny little bell tinkling, to put one hand to their head and look to the left and right for a fairy.
In 2012, Tinker Bell and her fairy friends returned to the Epcot International Flower & Garden Festival with an expanded Fairy Garden called Winter Woods that offered a white-and-green palette and new texture to Pixie Hollow with its evergreen forest. The Fairy Garden was still open as of 2014.
Along with the Fairy Garden, Disney provided children a chance to meet and greet with Tinker Bell and her fairy friends in person.
At Disneyland, a Pixie Hollow meet-and-greet area opened on October 28, 2008, near the Matterhorn bobsleds, where guests are able to interact with Tinker Bell and her companions.
On July 28, 2011, Tinkerbell and her fairy friends returned to the Magic Kingdom at Tinker Bell’s Magical Nook, located at the Adventureland Veranda. Tinkerbell, Vidia, Iridessa, Silvermist, Terence, Rosetta, Fawn, and Periwinkle (Tinkerbell’s sister) were on display. That attraction closed on May 20, 2014, but there is now a new meet and greet area for Tinker Bell minus her fairy friends located in Town Square Theater in Main Street USA.
NOTE: The Pixie Hollow franchise also inspired a popular Internet portal where visitors could interact with Tinker Bell and all of her friends – Fawn, Iridessa, Rosetta, Silvermist, Bess, Fira, Lily, Beck, Prilla, Rani, Vidia, Fairy Mary and Queen Clarion. Unfortunately, the online Pixie Hollow gaming site was closed on September 19, 2013.
Pixie Hollow is the secret world where Fairies live and work to create the four seasons to take to the Mainland. The four areas are called Spring Valley, Summer Glade, Autumn Forest and the Winter Woods.
The Pixie Dust Tree is at the heart of Pixie Hollow. It’s visible from everywhere and its roots spread across the entirety of Pixie Hollow. Queen Clarion lives in the Pixie Dust Tree, watching over the whole of Pixie Hollow.
In the original novel by James M. Barrie, Tinker Bell is a fairy and she uses fairy dust, not pixie dust. The transformation from Fairy to Pixie came about with the Disney animated film “Peter Pan” (1953). When Tink was upset, she called people, “Silly Ass!”

“It was a girl called Tinker Bell exquisitely gowned in a skeleton leaf, cut low and square, through which her figure could be seen to the best advantage. She was slightly inclined to embonpoint [plump hourglass figure] .

A moment after the fairy’s entrance the window was blown open by the breathing of the little stars, and Peter dropped in. He had carried Tinker Bell part of the way, and his hand was still messy with the fairy dust.
“Tinker Bell,” he called softly, after making sure that the children were asleep, “Tink, where are you?” She was in a jug for the moment, and liking it extremely; she had never been in a jug before.

“Oh, do come out of that jug, and tell me, do you know where they put my shadow?”

The loveliest tinkle as of golden bells answered him. It is the fairy language. You ordinary children can never hear it, but if you were to hear it you would know that you had heard it once before.
Tink said that the shadow was in the big box. She meant the chest of drawers, and Peter jumped at the drawers, scattering their contents to the floor with both hands, as kings toss ha’pence to the crowd. In a moment he had recovered his shadow, and in his delight he forgot that he had shut Tinker Bell up in the drawer.”
