Peter Pan (77 min)
Synopsis: Peter Pan just won’t grow up. He decides to bring the Darling children – Wendy, John, and Michael – to Never Land with him so that Wendy can tell bedtime stories to Peter and his band of Lost Boys. With the help of a little pixie dust (courtesy of Tinker Bell) the Darling children discover “You Can Fly” and follow Peter past “The Second Star To The Right,” and on to Never Land. There they meet the Lost Boys and have many adventures. Meanwhile, Peter’s sworn enemy, Captain Hook, schemes to learn the location of Peter’s hideaway, while trying to evade the crocodile who took his hand – and who is itching to get a taste of the rest of the him. Captain Hook eventually persuades Tinker Bell, who is jealous of Peter’s attention to Wendy, to reveal Peter’s hideout, leading to the capture of the Darling children and the Lost Boys by Hook’s men. Now it is up to Peter to defeat Captain Hook and return Wendy and her brothers to their London home.

Trivia:
• Frames: 110,880
• Walt Disney’s first exposure to the works of J.M. Barrie was when he and Roy passed a traveling production of Peter Pan starring Maude Adams on their way to school as children.
• Walt Disney planned as early as 1935 to make this film, arranging in 1939 with the Great Ormond Street Hospital in London (who had the rights to the play bequeathed by author James M. Barrie) for permission, but it was not until 1949 that production actually began.
• Though widely rumored to be based on Marilyn Monroe, Tinker Bell was modeled by Margaret Kerry, an actress who Disney stressed had a personality vastly different from that of her spiteful animated counterpart.
