Sky's name comes from what we call the Earth's atmosphere. On a clear day, the sky looks blue because molecules in the air can scatter blue light from the sun more than red light. In the 2022 stop-motion Netflix film Pinocchio produced, written and directed by Guillermo del Toro, The Fairy with Turquoise Hair is rewritten as the character of the Wood Sprite (voiced by Tilda Swinton) whose appearance is a blue hairless humanoid with eight wings that have eyes on them and a feathered snake-like tail. The Wood Sprite also has a sister named Death (also voiced by Tilda Swinton). HMMM... After Isabelle gets over this fairy phase, I think I should look for some books with more empowered girls in it.In the 1996 film The Adventures of Pinocchio, the character of Leona (played by Geneviève Bujold) serves as the Blue Fairy's stand-in in the film. She is a beloved and long-time friend of Geppetto with whom he is secretly in love - a love which is actually mutual, despite her having previously married his late brother (similar to the 1972's Italian miniseries of a similar name). In 1972's Italian miniseries The Adventures of Pinocchio, she is played by Gina Lollobrigida. Her role is similar to the book, with the difference that she is really the ghost of Geppetto's deceased wife.

The Fairy with Turquoise Hair ( Italian: La Fata dai Capelli Turchini; often simply referred to as The Blue Fairy, La Fata Turchina) is a fictional character in the 1883 Italian book The Adventures of Pinocchio by Carlo Collodi, [1] repeatedly appearing at critical moments in Pinocchio's wanderings to admonish the little wooden puppet to avoid bad or risky behavior. Rachel and Kirsty are exploring the tide pools on Rainspell Island’s beach when Kirsty notices something blue moving under a clump of seaweed. It turns out to be a shiny blue crab, which mutters about a fairy in trouble and leads the girls to two different tide pools before finding one that fizzles with blue sparkles, then scuttles away while the girls look for the fairy. Sky offers the pile of seagull feathers as cushioning for the shell bed inside the pot, and the fairies begin planning a welcome-home feast, which the girls decline upon remembering there will be a picnic waiting on the beach for them. Sky follows the girls a short way out of the clearing, and they promise her they’ll find her two remaining sisters before their vacation is over.

In Giuliano Cenci's 1972 animated film The Adventures of Pinocchio, the Fairy (voiced by Vittoria Febbi with Martha Scott doing her English-voice dub) is portrayed much more accurately to the book than she is in the Disney adaptation. She has no role in creating Pinocchio, though she does offer him guidance and support. Though she is accurately portrayed as sporting blue hair, she does not physically age as she does in the book. The Blue Fairy also makes an appearance (played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus) in the TV musical Geppetto. Voiced by Rosalyn Landor, the fairy appears in the television series House of Mouse as a guest at the titular night club. In the film Teacher's Pet, voiced again by Landor, she helps Spot Helperman realize his dreams to pose as a boy.
