Solid Funny Start to the Tinkerbell Series

Warning: Spoilers
A cute simple story about identity and how that fits into your place in the world. It explores how Tinkerbell and her curious spirit wants to go to the mainland wants to go to the mainland to change the seasons, but she's a tinker fairy and they don't do that. Because of this she disparages being a tinker fairy and tries to find another talent, not accepting herself for who she is. Instead of trying to make the things she wants be possible for who she is, she tries to change herself for the things she wants. But this only ruins everything, and the preparations for the change of seasons are ruined because of her. She fixes this by using her tinkering abilities to create technology that makes preparations faster than ever. She also goes to the mainland to bring something she fixed back to a child. This is embracing the specialness of her identity and how there are different talents in their community but that's a good thing, and it makes the change of seasons work beautifully.

I also like the conversation she has with Terrance, the dust keeper fairy, an unusual talent that he has come to terms with, and Tinkerbell projects her insecurities and baggage about her different talent onto him, reassuring him, but he just calmly says I know. It's an important moment for Tinkerbell to realise that it isn't something inherent to rare talent and it's something she can be happy with.
