Why are the fairies in Twisted Wonderland different from the fairies in the Tinkerbell series? Well, that's what I'll be talking about in today's blog post! For those of you who don't know, we can see smaller fae folk in the Fairy Gala event for Twisted Wonderland. These little fae are obviously fairies, but they look quite different from the Disney fairies we've seen before. Tinkerbell had her own series that followed her and the other fairies, and it showed the different kinds of fairies that lived in that realm. This Disney series was rather popular, and it ended up with quite a few movies and some books because of it. Although the fairies from that series are mentioned in a way in the Fairy Gala event, most of the fairies look much different from their original counterparts. Instead of just looking like small humans, the fairies in Twisted Wonderland more heavily embody their elements. This could just be for aesthetic purposes, but other than that there isn't really much of a reason for this. Most Twisted Wonderland fans are already fans of Disney, which means most of them probably already know about the Tinkerbell series. It's true that Twisted Wonderland often takes creative liberties with things, but the craft fairies still look mostly the same as tinker fairies from the Tinkerbell series. It just seems like a really strange choice. Of course it doesn't make much of a difference, but it just seems odd to me. Tinkerbell is already a Disney property, and it already has different types of fairies. So why would they redesign them from the ground up? Of course they could just be from a different region, but we also saw different fairies from different regions in the series. But, I digress. I just wanted to talk about this because I thought it was strange. Nonetheless, I hope you all still enjoyed this blog post! As always, here are some pictures of the fairies for comparison. Enjoy!
