common sense media says
A safe Neverland of fun and Disney products.

What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this virtual world based on Tinker Bell sparkles like fairy dust for young fairy fans -- and may glitter like gold for Disney, depending on how much money parents spend there. Currently, prescripted messages can only be sent from players to people they know (via email address). But parents should be on the alert that this may change: According to media reports, later this year kids will be able to participate in a "virtual world" on the site.The main activity is creating your own fairies, dressing them, and decorating their houses a la Webkinz. However, players don't have to earn web money and spend it for fairy products. The site is also creating hype for the fall 2008 release of the direct-to-DVD movie Tinker Bell.
Educational value:
This site is just for fun. The games, dress-up activities, and videos are entertaining and imaginative, but they won't teach most kids many -- if any -- new skills.
Violence:
Not applicable.
Sex:
Not applicable.
Language:
Not applicable.
Consumerism:
There's a substantial amount of Disney branding and product placement happening here, including Disney fairy products, must-see Disney fairy movies, and more to buy. While kids can dress and decorate the fairies and their rooms for free, they'll soon be able to earn pixie dust tokens for other rewards like wallpaper (for their own computer, not their fairy's room). The site isn't giving the tokens out until an upcoming upgrade.
Drinking, drugs, & smoking:
Not applicable.

'Sorry you can't read this its for MEMBERS only'
I agree with the last statment. I mean I have a fairy on this site too, its fun. But only if you're a member. I think its a total rip off to get money. Your options are limited if you don't have a membership, can't shop, can't host 'parties' can't play certain games, can't go to certain places, can't do certain quests, its stupid! And, as you heard they made boy faries, which I'm sure lots of girls begged for. Its discusting! I mean why would a boy want to get on unless they are lonely and want to date little girls. Most of them are girls themselves and all they do is 'date' on there! They get 'married' 'kiss' some have 'it' and some 'have kids' as they all pretend to do. I had a 'friend' that said to me today: "I'm sorry but I have to delete you off of my friends list to make room for guys" That is pathetic and discusting! They don't even know these people! Also they need to inforce their rules better, and make more of them. If you report bullying, they take that 'bully' off your friends list or let you 'ignore' them, and thats their way of inforcing the problem. I've seen the bullies still on. And they have no rule agents dating, at least webkinz does! I want to go on Pixie Hollow, not eHarmony. This takes the name of Tinker Bell, and Walt Disney in vain!

Very nice site for girls to live their fairie dreams.
I absolutely love this site. I log on with my 3 year old, and she gets to fly around picking up flowers and playing all the little hidden games within PixieHollow. She still can't do everything, but i think by next year she will be able to navigate with no help at all. At three little girls can already figure out a lot of the stuff, and still the game would not be boring for older kids. Even i like going there!
Disney allows parents to filter through the options that they will allow for their kids. Perhaps the live chat will also be optional.
The only thing is the advertising. They advertise to both the kids and parents like crazy!!! They even make you pay fees if you want to really enjoy the full extent of the game.
Truthfully, i am not a video game person, but this one is really high quality, so i truly recommend it.

GET RID OF THE BOY FAIRIES
I think this site is pretty fun, but you can't really do anything if you are not a member. This makes it boring. Also, one problem is that there are a lot of guys that try to "date" girl fairies on the site. I think this is gross, especially because most of the girls are very young and I mean, why would a boy play a fairy game? How old are these guys? The only reason they play this game is to ask out girl fairies. I think this is disgusting and they need to get rid of the option to make a guy fairy altogether. Lol.

I wish I 'could' say Pixie Perfect
I think it's pretty neat, and I go on a lot. But I don't like how they limit everything to "Member's only" There's nothing else to do on there if you aren't a member, which isn't fair what so ever. I like there creativity and them trying to make things fun. Like right now, there's rainbows all over and stuff. But I think they need to inforce rules more, like these so called "boys" name themselves "boy" names and try to make themselves look like "boys" and they go on there, practicly pick up little girls, and judge them in these so called "gal cons" I only go to those to try to convince those girls out of it, and to yell at the host. My friend got kicked off because she called those "boys" pigs, yet this one girl called this other girl a pig just out of random. They need to inforce there rules better if they want to run a site. And they need to stop with the member thing because its not fair to those with un wealthy families, that are just looking for some fun. And these kids are always acting like they're cussing, and they make a fool out of themselves more than anything. They can do better, otherwise it's an amazing site.

Dull 4 non members. Aw Jingles
It's sad because non members can only do games and 1 quest per fairy. It's really boring because I saved up for a new hairdo only to find I couldn't buy it. They want to have the pride of having a free site yet make kids want the membership. Well it doesn't work. Then again I'm 12 and it's not for me. But I'm sick of the Aw Jingles: shopping is only for members. Aw Jingles: exploring is only for members, Aw Jingles: the ballroom is only for members.
