"In the movie Peter Pan, Tinkerbell is depicted as dying after drinking poison intended for Peter. To save her, Peter asks the children to "clap your hands real hard to show that you do believe in fairies." If enough children believe in fairies, Tinkerbell's light will brighten again, allowing her to revive. This moment emphasizes the importance of belief in preserving the magic of fairies and the spirit of childhood."
