The real reason why the Tinker Bell movies are so different from the Disney Fairies books:

They aren’t real! Even according to fairy standards. IE: they’re a fiction within a fiction. Like Barbie movies. The book-canon is the “correct” fictional fairy world, and the movies are actually movies in that world. The fairies act in the movies for Disney, which is why there are so many liberties taken in portraying their kingdom and way of life, because it’s just a fictionalized telling.

They decided, hey, let’s make the movies a bit different and set them during Pixie Hollow’s golden age, before the fire and before Mother Dove, when fairies still brought the seasons, even though none of us were actually alive back then. (The Pixie Dust tree is fake and they use their regular fairy dust, just pretending it’s pixie dust.)

There are a lot of special effects used, especially with Queen Ree and her magical entrances, because they went in a more mystical goddess-like direction for her in the films, hence always using her formal name of Clarion as well.

The different colors of pixie dust don’t exist either, more special effects. Zarina is a regular fairy-dust-talent who was down to play the part of “alchemist.”

Periwinkle, Gliss and Spike, are water fairies who play at being “frost fairies” because the plot calls for it. (In the books water fairies can already frost things, Silvermist does it in one of them, so it’s kind of limiting for a water fairy to pretend that’s all they can do, but Peri does it anyway, for art.)

Milori really did break his wing, but it wasn’t from crossing the border–fairy wings really aren’t that sensitive and fragile. And he’s not really a lord either. He’s an animal-talent.

(I’m not sure how many of the “winter” fairies have naturally white hair or if most of them use wigs/dye it, but none of them are actually winter fairies btw. Sled is a regular animal talent, Dewey is a librarian…And on that note, the ministers of the seasons are not that, they’re regular fairies. Light-talent, water-talent, etc.)

Neverbeasts are real creatures and they befriended one to play in the last movie with Fawn, but the whole green lightning storm was, again, special effects. Not a real danger for Pixie Hollow. Gruff didn’t have to sleep for a thousand years and Fawn didn’t temporarily die.

The book fairies we know and love are still there, but Prilla didn’t want to act in movies, Beck was too shy, Fira would have liked to join but she wanted to concentrate on her light shows instead, Dulcie wouldn’t leave her kitchen that long, Bess didn’t want to be told what to do and have her inspiration stifled, and Rani didn’t want to either go through the pain of fake wings and wires and everything to pretend to be a regular fairy or else steal the spotlight by having to reenact or invent some plot involving her wings (to explain to audiences what happened.) Too much of a hassle. So all our beloved book girls weren’t snubbed for a movie role, they just had their reasons to stay out of it.

Meanwhile, Tinker Bell was contacted first to be a star in the movies because of her success and popularity after Peter Pan. She agreed and chose some of her best friends besides the ones previously mentioned who didn’t want in. Silvermist, Fawn, Iridessa and Rosetta were all excited to join. The directors needed an antagonist role, though, and Vidia auditioned just to get under Tink’s wings since she’d have to be her coworker for some years.

Although by the third movie they wanted to go in a different direction for her and gave her a redemption arc. “You’re not playing yourself, Vidia, okay? You’re playing a character called Vidia who looks like you and has your talent but she doesn’t have to act like you all the time. What, you can’t do it? I guess Tinker Bell is a better actor than you.” <–how they got them to agree to it.

After his role in Lost Treasure, Terence decided acting wasn’t for him. It was fun to spend so much time with Tink but he felt like they were forcing something for his character that was more unlike himself than his acting abilities would allow him to perform well. Meaning, he didn’t like being annoying to Tink and pretending to hold a grudge against her, any more than Vidia liked pretending to be friendly to Tink after GFR, but Terence just isn’t as good an actor as Vidia so he couldn’t pull it off.

Tink insisted that he at least make appearances in the next few films, so he had a minor speaking part in GFR, and then little cameos in SotW and TPF. He didn’t appear in LotN but he was around behind-the-scenes, playing with Gruff and hanging out.

James in TPF was a human actor, not the real Captain Hook. The real Captain Hook would hate being included in a fairy movie, especially as the villain. The baby crocodile was not the one who ate Hook’s hand, but they wanted to hint at some Never Land mythos by giving the impression it was.

What else? IDK, anything you can think of to-do with movie/book differences, it’s because the fairies were just acting in the movies and they’re a Hollywood-ized depiction of Pixie Hollow.

evidence:

this cinemagic intro shows the fairies behind-the-scenes

the Lost Treasure movie had outtakes and bloopers as if the fairies were actually acting in the movie, re-shooting scenes that didn’t work (Blaze fetching different things every time?)

All I’m saying, Tinker Bell is a movie star.

Yet Sukuyo Mankanshoku is depicted as taller than Ryuko in the anime... It's weird how these things don't seem to translate.

Are there any official KLK height comparsion charts? I'm curious how tall the characters are.

There was a height comparison of sorts included in The Art of KLK Vol. 2 and the Official Settings Materials Book 1, but no official measurements are given:

However, fans have used this image to calculate measurements. Here’s one example, from Shakar the Memelord:

Hope that helps!
