Are you kidding? The ending was perfect. Him watching the blue fairy would have been tragic, sure, but it wouldn't be a lasting ending.
The ending we got was bittersweet...it can't be called a Disney-ending because it's not a happily ever after ending. Humanity is dead, and his mother (we're told) can basically live for a day before she dies forever, too. One day isn't a whole lot of time.
Can you imagine being transported back to the golden years of your life...and then being told you only had a day to spend in them? Suddenly, every minute just sitting in front of a TV, riding in a car, a bus, waiting for something to happen would be intolerable. The thing about happy times is that you never really expect them to end...because if you did, they wouldn't be happy at all.
