There are more romance elements in this movie, but I thought they were done well and they’re not the main topic. Are they slaves? Are they paid for all the little jobs they do for the fairies? For that matter, is anyone paid for work in Pixie Hollow? It seems the whole society is built around work based on your talent, so maybe bugs are also taking part in the same joyous moneyless society that results from everyone being happy to work instead of forced to work. On the same note, the bugs and animals don’t speak, but are generally very expressive and sentient. But with those precautions, it’s safe, and fairies would be undertaking the journey of their own accord, and they work out pretty easy ways to adapt at the end.
This does bring up a question that arises in fantasy and sci-fi sometimes though: What’s discrimination, and what’s legitimately based on the existence of different species? There are biological differences between the winter and warm-weather fairies, and a fairy could die (or never be able to fly again) if he or she is in the wrong temperature for too long, so it takes some work to get warm clothes or air conditioning, and there’s a danger involved. Not only do they forbid travel between the seasons, they forbid any interaction at all, just based on their own bad experience. Normally I wouldn’t like it when a character just does whatever she wants in flagrant disregard for the law, but I’m not terribly impressed with Pixie Hollow’s management and hate “It’s for your own good” paternalism, and I just really don’t care about Queen Clarion and Lord Milori’s dumb rule in this case. This time she just does it without asking, and while she’s there, she meets Periwinkle. The stated reason is her wings will freeze and break in the cold, but sewing a parka doesn’t make any difference to the rule. This is something of a return to the themes of the first movie, where Tinker Bell wants to go somewhere and the others won’t let her, based on her nature. In the fourth Tinker Bell movie, we discover that warm-temperature fairies aren’t allowed into the Winter Forest, and winter fairies aren’t allowed into the warm-weather segments of Pixie Hollow.
