Peter Pan

Another Disney film that I remember with a lot of affection is “Peter Pan” because it made me believes that maybe, Peter could come to my house and teach me how to fly and to be a child forever.

This film is based on the book Peter Pan or The Boy Who Couldn’t Grow Up written by J. M. Barrie. It was originally released on February 5, 1953. This film was an animated one but, in 2003 another films appeared with real characters.

I couldn’t remember very well the film and the details so I watched it another time some weeks ago.

My favorite character is the crocodile which ate Captain Hook’s hand and which is pursuing the Captain because it wants to eat more.

The story begins when George (the father) gets angry with because Wendy is tells stories about Peter Pan to her brothers, John and Michael and from the point of view of George it makes children less practical. But, that night, when the parents go out, Peter appears and teaches them how to fly with the help of Tinker Bell, his pixie friend. They go to the island of Never Land.

When they were arriving to the island, Tinker Bell makes a plan to kill Wendy because she is jealous of her but it does not make effect. When Peter find out what has happened he gets very angry and banished her forever (though she is eventually forgiven).

 In the island, some pirates, under the orders of Captain Hook, kidnap the Indian Tiger Lily, because they want to use her knowledge to discover where the hideout of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys is. Then, John and Michael with the Lost Boys decide to go to the island of the Indians without knowing anything about what had happened with Tiger Lily. The Indians capture them because they think that the children are responsible about the disappearance.

Meanwhile, Peter takes Wendy to see the mermaids but then, the mermaids flee in terror when they see Captain Hook. Peter and Wendy spy Hook and they see that the pirates have captured Tiger Lily so they free her and Peter is honored by the tribe. The tribe frees the Lost Boys and Wendy’s brothers.

Then, Hook takes advantage of Tinker Bell’s jealous and he makes her say him where the location of Peter’s lair is. Then, Hook shuts the fairy in a lantern. Meanwhile, Wendy and her brothers are planning how to return to London and they invite the Lost Boys and Peter to go with them. The Lost Boys accept the offer but Peter gets angry because he does not want to grow up. They leave Peter in the hideout but when they come out they are raped by the pirates. Hook makes and plan and deceive Peter, he sends him a present which is a bomb. Tinker Bell gets to arrive on time and saves Peter. They quickly go to Hook’s boat to save the children. When they arrive there, they see that the pirates are making the children jump into the water. Finally, Peter helped all the children and starts to fight against Hook. Peter throws the Captain to the water and the crocodile starts to prosecute him.

At the end, Peter and the Lost Boys take Wendy, John and Michael to London and leave them home. When their parents arrive, Wendy tells them about what had happened while they were out. The parents look out the window and see what appears to be a pirate ship in the clouds. Mr. Darling, who has softened his position about Wendy staying in the nursery, recognizes it from his own childhood, as it breaks up into clouds itself.
