Pixie Hollow was a massive multiplayer online role-playing game addition to the Disney Fairies franchise that ran from 2008 to 2013. It was produced by DisneyToon Studios and developed by Schell Games. The game was released to coincide with the 2008 film, Tinker Bell and revolved around Tinker Bell, a fairy character created by J. M. Barrie in his play Peter Pan and incorporating her fairy friends from the Disney Fairies animated works by the Walt Disney Company.
Pixie Hollow was an MMORPG created by the Walt Disney Company and released September 8, 2008.The basic version of the game was free to play online. The website was based partly on the Disney Fairies books written by Gail Carson Levine. Sep 18, 2015 Rainbow Falls by Juniper (a.k.a.

After a quick attendance check, the competing pixies were led by Marigold Sunjewel, President of the Events’ Committee, to a remote location in Never Land to begin their next competition.
Critical reception[edit]
GameZone gave the game 6/10.[3] The game received the Parents' Choice Award, Silver Honor.[4] The game also received the Parents' Choice Approved award.[5]
A 2008 article from the magazine Variety about the site voiced concerns from parents that introducing children to online games at a young age may could 'one day make them a “World of Warcraft” addict.'[6] A New York Times article from 2007 voiced much of the same in its discussion about young children on the Internet,[7] and gave a short description of Pixie Hollow: 'The site will ultimately allow users to play games (“help create the seasons”) and interact with other “fairies.” When avatars move across the screen, they leave a sparkling trail of pixie dust, a carefully designed part of the experience.'

Closing[edit]
Pixie Hollow closed on September 19, 2013.[8] Its closure was poorly received by users, especially bloggers in the community, many of whom created petitions to 'save Pixie Hollow'.[9] Such efforts seem to have been in vain; the game closed as planned and has not reopened.
Rewrite and Revival[edit]

Fans remained active on blog sites such as WordPress, and have been able to form communities dedicated to memorializing the game. One such fan community, FairyABC, has created a 'rewrite' of the game, as of 2016. Users there can join a virtual world similar to Pixie Hollow, but without many features of the original games.
