Tinker Bell and her friends must band together when former Dust Keeper Zarina kidnaps the Blue Pixie Dust for a group of pirates that includes a young version of Captain James Hook.  If they don’t get the Blue Pixie Dust back, Pixie Hollow won’t be able to create Pixie Dust anymore. Along the way, they find their powers have been switched by Zarina and one of them befriends a baby version of Crocky (the infamous crocodile who swallowed a clock and wants to bite Captain Hook on the butt).    PIRATE FAIRY is another fun entry in the Pixie Hollow series as it explores the origins of Captain James Hook (voiced by Tom Hiddleston best known for his performance as Loki in the THOR movies and THE AVENGERS).   It is fun for all ages as it teaches that friendship will go all bounds to accept one who think they are an outsider.   It also opens the door for Pixie Dust alchemy with different colors of Pixie Dust that do different things.
