50 free Tinkerbell trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
40 free Tinkerbell trivia questions with answers. Tinker Bell started as 'a common fairy' who mended pots and became the unofficial mascot of the Walt Disney Company. This quiz covers every version of her: Barrie's play and the darting light that played her on stage, the 1953 Disney film and the dancer who modelled for her, Julia Roberts in Hook, Yara Shahidi in Peter Pan & Wendy, and the six Disney Fairies films where Mae Whitman gave her a voice, with Silvermist, Rosetta, Iridessa, Fawn, Vidia, Terence, her frost-fairy sister Periwinkle, the pirate fairy Zarina, the young Captain Hook and the NeverBeast Gruff. There are questions on Pixie Hollow, pixie dust, the fairies' talents and the woman who flew over Disneyland every night. Easy questions are for kids who have watched the films on repeat: what talent Tink has, what colour dress she wears, what her sister is called. The harder ones are for the grown-ups: her name in Barrie's first draft, the fake actress credited on the original programmes, and which hospital owns her copyright. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia's articles on the character, the books and the films, and each question carries the sentence that backs it up.

Q 01Barrie's Tinker Bell debuted in a 1904 play. In which year was the novel Peter and Wendy published?
1911
Barrie later gave the copyright to Great Ormond Street Hospital, which still benefits from it.
Q 02According to Barrie, what job did Tinker Bell do among the fairies?
She mended pots and kettles
She is an actual tinker, which is where her name comes from. Her speech sounds like a tinkling bell.
Q 03What was Tinker Bell called in the first draft of Barrie's play?
Tippy-toe
Jane Wren was the joke name printed on the programmes as the actress playing her, which fooled the tax inspector into sending her a demand.
Q 04How was Tinker Bell represented in the original stage productions?
A darting light from a hand mirror
Her voice was a collar of bells, two of which Barrie brought back from Switzerland.
Q 05Why did Barrie add fairy dust to the play as a requirement for flying?
Because children were getting hurt trying to fly from their beds
Originally no fairy dust was mentioned at all; too many young audience members 'needed surgical attention'.
Q 06Why, in the story, can a fairy like Tinker Bell hold only one feeling at a time?
Her small size leaves no room for more than one
So when she is angry there is no compassion to balance it, which explains her jealousy of Wendy.
Q 07What is Tinker Bell's favourite insult in Barrie's play, always played by the same four musical notes?
You silly ass
In the musical the four notes are followed by a growl on the bassoon. 'Codfish' is what Peter calls Hook.
Q 08How does Tinker Bell save the hero in Barrie's play, before the audience saves her?
She drinks the poison Hook put in his medicine
Peter then asks everyone who believes in fairies to clap, and the applause revives her.
Q 09At the end of the novel Peter and Wendy, what happens when Wendy asks Peter about Tinker Bell?
He cannot remember who she is
Barrie's narrator says fairies do not live long, and Peter guesses 'she is no more'.
Q 10In Disney's 1953 Peter Pan, what does a jealous Tinker Bell convince the Lost Boys to do?
Shoot Wendy down
She tells them Peter ordered it. Later, Hook exploits the same jealousy to learn where Peter's hideout is.
Q 11How does Tinker Bell save Peter from Hook's trap in the 1953 Disney film?
She snatches a bomb from him as it explodes
Disney replaced the play's poison with a bomb disguised as a present from Wendy.
