9/4/2010 – I just stumbled upon this Webpage & have no idea how I got here (sooo ADD)(but things DO happen for a reason). But the Tinker Bell thing is a mind blower – I am a 61 yr young grandmother of 5 – 2 girls & 3 boys. For some reason, when each grandchild was born, I associated each one with a Disney character – the first girl , now 5 was Cinderella and she has loved and so connected with the whole Cinderella theme. The 2nd girl, now 3, I connected her with Tinker Bell. And that has been an accepted connection as everyone gets her Tinker Bell related items. After reading what you wrote, I think I was unknowingly onto something (as with many of us ADDers I am quite intuitive) as my precious little 3yr old just might be an ADDer as well. Time will tell. What’s even more amazing is that I have been planning on buying the Tinker Bell movie for this granddaughter when it comes out on DVD & Blueray the 21st of this month. (My oldest grandson, 12, also has ADD as well as his father (my son) and my father)

I’m going to buy the movie. I watched a rental of Tinker Bell with my daughters and I was thinking just the same thing. I related so much with Tinker Bell but I didn’t want to start telling people that. They would just start picturing me as Tinker Bell and that would be awkward. I’m already socially awkward enough as it is, so explaining it would just turn into a mess. Or maybe its just in my head.

A Tinker is a person who works with tin,as for her lastname “Bell”, if you watch the movie you will see that as a seedling before she arrives in Pixie Hollow she bumps onto I ships bell, jingles a little bit with the sound of bells before the wind carries her of to the Hollow.

Yep, that’s what she was supposed to do in the movie – fix pots and kettles, but she never really gets around to that. She’s always so distracted and trying to be something else, something more, something better… hrmmmm reminds me of someone.

Amusing, B.!

No need to worry, because I don’t think the FDA has approved ADHD medications for use in fairies!

My curiosity sent me to Wikipedia:

Tinker Bell was described by Barrie as a fairy who mended pots and kettles, like an actual tinker. Her dialogue consists of the sounds of a tinkling bell, which is understandable only to those familiar with the language of the fairies. Though sometimes ill-tempere and vindictive (getting the Lost Boys to shoot arrows at Wendy), at other times she is helpful and kind to Peter. The extremes in her personality are explained in-story by the fact that a fairy’s size prevents her from holding more than one feeling at a time, so when she is angry she has no counterbalancing compassion.”

A tinker fairy is the type of fairy she is in Never Land. The movie didn’t explain the complete relationship between here and Peter Pan; however, at the end of the movie it seems she finds Wendy first… Bell is her actual name and tinkering is her trade. lol Watch the movie Jawn

excellent analysis, but I have a few qq. First, what is a tinker fairy? Surely they don’t repair pots 4 humans? Then, why “bell”? I thot this a nickname that lummox peter pan bestowed on her. How did they link up anyway? What is her real, fairy name?I did not know she was an inventor. I’ll hafta see the movie. So she finds “lost” things. Did she find the lost boys? Does this explain why there r no lost girls? T.B. is insanely jealous – look what she tried to do to wendy. I wonder if she tried anything on tiger lily or the mermaids?

Bryan.

You are sooooo funny. LOL

Only you would figure that one out. I haven’t seen the movie but from what you say I have no doubt that she does have it.

She would actually have AADHD though.
