Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy

Pixie Hollow feels like a sunlit workshop where magic and friendship spark every day. Zarina, a curious dust keeper, is drawn to the power and mystery of Blue Pixie Dust and decides to strike out on her own. She teams with Skull Rock's pirates and rises to captain their ship, chasing knowledge over obedience. Tinker Bell and her friends set out to bring Zarina back, even as the group must adapt to a world beyond their familiar glen. Their pursuit crosses swords with a ruthless pirate crew led by a boy named James, a swashbuckler who embodies the danger and mystery of Skull Rock.

Directed by Peggy Holmes, Tinker Bell and the Pirate Fairy is part of Disney's Tinker Bell direct-to-video franchise. It draws on the Disney Fairies universe and was released in 2014, showcasing Holmes' confident handling of action and character.

The title grossed $63,998,725 at the worldwide box office, reflecting a modest theatrical footprint for a direct-to-video spin off within the Disney Fairies line. It found its strongest appeal with families and fans of the series.
