[QUOTE="wchmara, post: 2745789, member: 768061"] I realize that these movies were made for the younger set, so Disney was aiming more for their hearts than for their heads. But if the Japanese can make heartwarming anime without treating the viewer like a fool, why is it so difficult for Disney to apply just a wee bit more brain to a script before filming it? Apparently, fairies rely on pixie dust in order to fly, not their wings. When it wears off, wings or not, the fairy is forced to walk. Humans, apparently, can fly on pixie dust, alone, and have absolutely no need of wings. Worse, pixie dust or no, if a fairy's wings are wet, again, no flying. Now fairy wings are actually a liability! They would be better off getting rid of them. So why don't they? As another irritating little side note, we are shown that fairies are born fully-grown whenever a human baby laughs for the first time. OK, fine. Cute and magical, uh-huh. Then whatfor do they have two genders? (I'm more likely to give best answer to a creative explanation, rather than a "it's just a show" cop out.) [/QUOTE]
