Tinkerbell and the Great Fairy Rescue

Yeah, so I watched another Disney fairy movie.  I was going to watch ponyo, but I didn't want to spend my time finding something that would work on my iPad.

What I don't understand though, is...wait, I'll just explain a bit first...
1.  fairies can't fly when their wings are wet because they are too heavy
2.  Each day, each fairy is given ONE cup of pixie dust.
3.  Fairies can make humans fly by putting their pixie dust on them.
So, now that you know that, think of these:
4.  The amount of pixie dust required to make a human fly far exceeds that "one cup a day" that the fairies get.
5.  Humans are a lot heavier than fairies, even when the fairy's wings are wet.
So, why is it that fairies are perfectly capable of expelling enough pixie dust to make a much heavier human fly, when they don't have enough to make themselves fly when their wings are wet??
Just wondering...

Also, did you know, the voice actress for Tinkerbell is the same as the one for Katara in Avatar:  The Last Airbended?  (Mae Whitman)

Also, think of this, though it may not apply as much, since this is from the books, which sparked from the Peter pan play someone came up with:  (I don't think the play mentions pixie hollow at all, though the Disney fairies books mention Peter pan often)

Tink was first introduced with Peter Pan in Neverland.  (I don't think she's actually originally a tinker?  I think she may be named Tinkerbell because she "tinks" when she talks)  According to the DF (Disney fairies books) though, fairies require pixie dust every day (they can't just dump a million cups on themselves and expect it to last forever).  So how does Tink have enough pixie dust to make the lost boys fly every day?  Of course, since the play came before the DF, this doesn't really apply...

Another thing:  the Pixie Dust Tree (I think it may have another name...) in the movies makes the pixie dust, but according to the DF, pixie dust is from the ground up molted feathers of Mother Dove.  Just a thought...

I'm pretty sure that some of the fairies were changed for the movie, probably to not be racist.  First off, I don't think Iridessa even exists in the books (she African).  I don't think clank and bobble exist either, but I think they're just fun characters the Disney staff added in.  Also, in the movies, Silvermist is obviously Asian.  In the books, however, she has blue eyes.  So yeah, she turned Asian?

If you look, then you'll see that the Disney fairies (in the movie) group has all the hair colors.  (Silvermist and iridessa are exceptions)
Tink-blonde
Fawn-brown
Rosetta-Red hair
Vidia-black
I'm calling them the "American" fairies.  I feel like I'm missing one...
Anyways, so the Disney fairies in the movies are all about equality.  Nice place.

If you can't tell, I loved the Disney fairies when I was a kid.  I still do...
