I may not like Disney but then I should admit that they are really good when it comes to animation (I am a fan of Dreamworks though…). So one day while looking at the long list of movies in my collection, I got curious about what Pirate Fairy is and being a One Piece fan, I put it on my to-watch list. It turns out to be a prequel to Peter Pan because it narrates how Captain Hook got his fear of the tick-tocking crocodile.
The story is about Zarina, one of Tinkerbell’s friends. This highly inquisitive fairy questions everything and even raises important questions in science: Do we discover things or do we invent them? Her main obsession is the pixie dust which makes fairies fly and which gives them their abilities. One day while doing experiments, she accidentally created a mixture that makes things grow big. The substance fell on a plant which suddenly became gigantic, causing earthquakes and destroying the pixie lab in the process. She was stripped of her job. Her ego hurt, she ran away.
One day during a festive celebration, Zarina returned. She put everyone to sleep, but good thing Tinkerbell and her friends are not. They chased after Zarina but she fought them off and stole the blue dust which produces the pixie dust. The gang chased again and were horrified to learn that Zarina has become the captain of a pirate crew. They attempted to make her change her mind but to no avail until she divulged the secret of the pixie dust to Captain Hook who then showed is true colors and imprisoned Zarina. The fairies managed to save themselves thanks to the baby crocodile who followed them. This crocodile accidentally swallowed a clock thus the tick-tock sound it makes signalling its arrival. And it is also this same crocodile which, as a baby, terrified the young Hook.
