In addition to these Tinker Bell films, Disney also had plans for a seventh and an eighth film. Both films were cancelled in October 2013, during the production on the seventh film, reportedly due to declining DVD sales and disappointing merchandise sales.
Per Disney lore, this was because she committed an act of bravery worthy of a princess, but in reality, it was so the Mouse House could add a popular character to its lucrative line of toys. Commercial reasons were also behind Tinker Bell's removal as a princess.
She even tried to get the Lost Boys to shoot her down, an act which only served to push Peter and Wendy closer together. In Barrie's play and his novel, Tink tried to communicate her love to Peter, but it was unrequited, too mature an emotion for the boy who never wanted to grow up.
Initially, Tinker Bell does not like him, but eventually she comes to see that Fireflyer is not as bad as he seems to be. In the end, they get married and start selling dreams to the Roamers, previous Lost Boys that have been outcast by Peter, while having many adventures.
Tinker Bell's age is never revealed in Peter Pan. Tinker Bell is a fairy, not a human, so readers can infer that she may be very ancient. However, Tinker Bell is not immortal. Readers learn that she dies in the novel, and that Peter forgets her.

As Ariel is half fish, she cannot be categorized by our ethnicities and races. The animated “Little Mermaid” movie only portrayed her with light skin and red hair because that was the American interpretation at the time.
Ariel, is a fictional character, with no defined skin color in her original material. She was originally written by a Danish author in the 1800s. She has been portrayed in ballet and movies by Asian, Russian, and mixed-race individuals, her cartoon depictions are typically pale.
"Finding Neverland" is a weepie. From the moment that Barrie met George and Jack, and started to ponder the means by which they might be rendered immortal, the story is sad, but the reality is even more dismal: 1907—Arthur Llewellyn Davies dies from cancer of the jaw. 1910—Sylvia dies of lung cancer.
A semi-fictionalised account of the genesis of Peter Pan. Johnny Depp stars as initially unsuccessful author J.M. Barrie, trapped by both a stifling marriage and the straight-laced society of his time.
