Honestly couldn't care less whether or not they make more. I've seen a few of the Peter Pan movies (mostly for the purpose of story research for a few long ago and far, far away chapters for a story I'm working on, and my niece had a thing for one of the sequel cartoons for a while, so it went on repeat), and I've possibly stumbled over one or two of the Tinkerbell movies while my brother's kids have been channel-surfing (they're more interested in Nickelodeon), but honestly, there are much better cartoons out there. Most of the direct-to-DVD/TV Disney movies aren't that great. Might leave it running if I have an afternoon of nothing else to do and the TV is on anyway, but not something I seek out. I only remember a lot of fairies and flowers or something from the movie(s?) I did partly see, and lost interest pretty fast (besides, the kids have the patience of a butterfly, so it's practically a miracle if they manage to sit still and watch even one movie or cartoon from beginning to end).
Acording to the source material, Tinkerbell doesn't even have a twin sister, so I guess they'll do anything to milk the most popular characters.
I wish Disney could start using their imagination again, perhaps make more interesting animated movies, preferably with less princesses and love stories, and fewer sequels, because we've had much more than enough of those. A lot less cringiness would be nice, too (pretty much 99% of the Disney TV programs that aren't old-school Mickey Mouse style, and the live shows are the worst). There are other things to make movies about. Maybe they could come up with their own ideas for once, as they do keep reworking pretty much everything they come over in regards to public domain fairy tales and myths. I do like a lot of the Disney cinema movies and a lot of the older cartoons, but the movies in particular do tend to stick to a very strict formula, never straying too far from the path and nearly always ridiculously happy endings. Also, one sequel per concept is more than enough. And what's with all the live remakes recently? Some films simply do work better better when animated, because the animation format allows for weird things to happen without it being cringy - like imaginitive genies, talking animals or dancing clocks. We've already seen those movies - we don't need to see them again just because Disney has a lack of imagination at least once a year. Not even sequels but remakes of the exact same film in a diffrent format.
So, the orginal question: I don't mind if they make another Tinkerbell movie, but I'm not interested in seeing it, probably won't, and think they should rather spend their money and resources on more interesting projects with new characters and new stories.
