Production

Disney had been trying to buy the film rights to Barrie's play since 1935. He finally received them four years later, after he came to an arrangement with Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, to whom Barrie had bequeathed the rights to the play. His studio started the story development and character designs in the early-1940s, and intended Peter Pan as a follow-up to Bambi, but the second world war forced the project to be put on hold. Just like Pinocchio before it, the original pre-war character designs for Peter Pan were very different from the final product. The original version actually had Nana go to Neverland with Pan and the Darling children, and had a much darker ending. It was not until after the war that the actual production of the film commenced. 1935 (MCMXXXV) was a common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar). ...

Margaret Kerry was Tinker Bell's live-action reference model, contrary to rumors that it was Marilyn Monroe. Margaret Kerry posed for reference film shots on a soundstage; the footage was later used by supervising Tinker Bell animator Marc Davis and his team when they drew the character. Kerry also provided the voice of the red-haired mermaid in the film. Margaret Kerry (born Peggy Lynch, 1930, Los Angeles) is an American actress, motivational speaker and radio host best known for her 1953 work as the model for Tinker Bell in the Walt Disney Pictures animated feature, Peter Pan. ...

Like Kerry, Bobby Driscoll was both the live-action reference model and voice actor for Peter Pan. Peter's flying and action reference shots were provided by dancer Roland Dupree. Bobby Driscoll (March 3, 1937 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa – March 30, 1968 in East Village, Manhattan in New York City), was a successful, Academy Award-winning American child actor, known for a large body of screen- and TV-work from 1943 to 1960, which include some of the Walt Disney...

Kathryn Beaumont, the voice of Wendy, eldest of the Darling children, also performed for the live action reference footage.

Differences between the Disney version and the Barrie stage play

There are various differences between the Disney film, and the Barrie play on which it is based. ("The Disney Version" is a term used generally with regard to Disney Productions to refer to such differences between the stories and characters as portrayed in Disney productions and as portrayed in the original novels, stories, or classical fairy tales.)

Until this movie, the role of Peter Pan had always been played by a young woman. Instead, Walt Disney chose to use an actual boy to provide the character's voice. Peter Pan is a character created by Scottish novelist and playwright, J. M. Barrie (1860–1937), as well as the title of a stage play and novel based on the character. ...

The film was also the first time in which Nana and the Crocodile (named Tick-Tock the Croc in comics published later) were shown as animal characters rather than played by actors - sometimes the same one - as in the stage play. In the original 1911 novel, Nana was a Newfoundland, instead of a St. Bernard as she is in the 1953 movie. This advertisement for Disney Comics ran in the issues published at the milestone of their first year. ... A Landseer painting of a Landseer Newfoundland. ... Wikimedia Commons has media related to: St. ...

The Disney version was one of the first times that Tinker Bell was shown as an actual sprite and not simply a beam of light - but not the first, as she had been portrayed by a woman in an earlier film. In the Disney film she is illustrated as a young woman, with fairy-wings, wearing a green dress that looks like foliage, and green slippers with white puffs on top. Tinker Bell's "death" is also differently depicted. In the original play she drinks poison intended by Captain Hook for Peter; in the animated film she gets knocked out by a bomb. A key moment in the live performances of the play and the musical, children in the audience are encouraged to clap in order to "bring Tinker Bell back to life". This does not appear in the film. For other uses, see Tinker Bell (disambiguation). ...

In the play, Captain Hook is said to be eaten by the crocodile. In the animated film, he never gets eaten but falls into the crocodile's mouth on multiple occasions, only to jump out screaming for Smee seconds later.

The phrase from the original play, "second to the right and straight on till morning", in the film adds the word "star": spoken by Peter Pan while standing on one of Big Ben's clock hands, as "second star to the right and straight on till morning." Big Ben redirects here. ...

Although original author Barrie is credited, this is the only major film version of "Peter Pan" which does not use any of his original dialogue, although one of Barrie's original lines is paraphrased when Hook first tells Smee why the Crocodile is always following him. Even the live-action musical versions, as well as the 1924 silent film version, use Barrie's original dialogue. One of the few stage traditions that Disney did retain for the animated film was to have Captain Hook and Mr. Darling be played by the same actor. In this case, Hans Conried not only voiced both characters, he was the live-action reference for them, as well. Also, in the original play, Hook lost his right hand, but the Disney artists felt that would limit his actions too much, and so relocated the hook to his left hand. (This is referenced in the movie when Wendy corrects a Captain-Hook-playing John that the hook was on the left hand, not the right.) Gerald du Maurier as Captain Hook Captain James Hook is the villain of J. M. Barries play and novel Peter Pan. ... Hans Conried in 1974 television appearance Hans Conried (April 15, 1917 – January 5, 1982) was a comic character actor and voice actor. ...

Also, Neverland is strongly suggested to be a dream world as opposed to a real fantasy world in the novels and play, as we see Wendy, Michael, and John apparently still asleep in the nursery when their parents return from the party mentioned at the start of the film (Wendy is asleep at the opened window, and John and Michael are still in their beds). Wendy is the only one that awakens from the dream, and the ship that took them home is merely a cloud formation. Dream worlds are a commonly used plot device in fictional works, most notably in science fiction and fantasy fiction. ... A fantasy world is a type of fictional universe in which magic or other similar powers work. ... A bedroom within a house or other dwelling set aside for an infant or toddler. ...

Characters

• Peter Pan: Protagonist, the boy who won't grow up. Like Tinker Bell, Peter can be very hot-headed. He is also commanding, but very brave.
• Tinker Bell: Pan's hot-headed pixie pal.
• Wendy Darling: The eldest of the Darling children; adores Peter Pan. She is 12 years old, almost 13 - that's why she must leave the nursery.
• John Darling: One of Wendy's two younger siblings. Wears glasses. He is 8 years old.
• Michael Darling: Wendy's youngest brother; approx. 4 years old. Carries a teddy bear with him and is very sensitive. He is also a clumsy, yet very playful boy.
• George and Mary: The Darling children's parents; their mother likes Peter Pan and their father doesn't at first; in fact, he wishes the kids to grow up because he believes that the stories his daughter tells are impractical. He often shows it in an angry way, often blowing up at the slightest mention of Peter or his world, Neverland. However, he changes his mind about Wendy's "crazy stories" at the end of the film, and he later remarks that he saw a pirate ship before when he was very young.
• Nana: The Darlings' nursemaid, a dog (St. Bernard) although in the original story she is a Newfoundland dog.
• Captain Hook: The villain of the film; a pirate captain who wants revenge on Pan for getting his hand lopped off and fed to the Crocodile in a fair battle.
• Mr. Smee: Hook's right-hand man or the comic relief of the story, Mr. Smee is always being bossed around or the crew takes their frustrations out on him with belly jabbing, tying up Mr. Smee and putting him in a treasure box, hooking his shirt on the wall and throwing darts next to his belly.
• Tiger Lily the Chief of the Indians daughter she is kidnapped by Hook to find out where Peter is. Peter and Wendy rescue her to joyful celebration to her people. She then dances with Peter, and makes Wendy jealous. It has been regarded that the way Disney portrayed the Indians of Neverland was controversial and offensive;^[1][2] it has also been regarded they were also stereotypical in Barrie's book Peter and Wendy as well.^[1]
• The Crocodile: A crocodile who swallowed an alarm clock and is after the remains of Hook; Pan had cut off Hook's hand and threw it to the Crocodile who enjoyed the little appetizer so much, he's been following him ever since. In comics published later on, the character was known as Tick-Tock the Croc. In the books Peter and the Starcatchers/Peter and the Shadow Thieves, he was called Mr. Grin.
• The Lost Boys: Pan's right-hand boys, dressed as various animals. Their names are Slightly (fox costume), Curly (bear costume), Nibs (rabbit costume), Tootles (skunk costume) and the Twins (raccoon costumes).
• Mermaids: These mermaids are friends of Peter Pan and they are very interested in his stories. They are resentful of Wendy and try to drown her although Peter insists they were having fun. They are frightened away when they hear that Captain Hook is rowing nearby. The mermaids appear to be in their mid-teens.

Notes

• The melody for "The Second Star to the Right" was originally written for Alice in Wonderland as part of a song to be entitled "Beyond the Laughing Sky".
• Though the film was extremely successful, Walt himself was dissatisfied with the finished product. He felt that the character of Peter Pan was cold and unlikable, not to mention adult-hating.
• In 1989, British pop group Five Star performed a medley of Peter Pan songs "You Can Fly", "Never Smile At A Crocodile" and "Second Star To The Right" for a BBC Television special celebrating the works of Walt Disney.
• Initially planned for the film was a scene where Tinker Bell is dying and Peter sings a song to save her. This scene was cut for pacing purposes and Tinker Bell appears with Peter later in the film with no explanation given for her healing.
• The film begat multiple spinoffs in various forms, including, but not limited to: "Peter Pan's Flight", the dark ride found at many of the Disney parks worldwide; a sequel some fifty years after the original film, Return To Neverland; and two areas of the Kingdom Hearts series: namely, Neverland as a playable world in both Kingdom Hearts and Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories (with Tinker Bell as a Summon in both games, as well) and Peter Pan as a Summon in Kingdom Hearts II.
• Also, Peter Pan, Wendy and Smee were featured as guests in House of Mouse, and Captain Hook was one of the villains in Mickey's House of Villains.
• Tinker Bell is the only character in the film to appear in the Disney Fairies franchise; however, unlike in the film, Tinker Bell has spoken dialogue throughout the series.
• Michael Jackson has cited Peter Pan as being his favorite movie of all time, from which he derived the name for his estate, Neverland Ranch in Santa Barbara, where he had a private amusement park, and which was the site of much controversy before he moved away in 2005.
• Ronald D. Moore, one of the executive producers and developer of the re-imagined Battlestar Galactica, has cited this film as the inspiration for one of the recurring themes of the series concerning the cyclical nature of time. The first line of the film, "All of this has happened before and it will all happen again," has been featured prominently in the series as a piece of scripture often repeated by characters.
• Peter Pan and the Lost Boys appeared in The Lion King 1½, and Peter Pan and Captain Hook were featured in Mickey's Magical Christmas: Snowed in at the House of Mouse.
• Peter appeared in Shrek and Shrek the Third, Captain Hook appeared in Shrek 2 and Shrek the Third, Tinker Bell appeared in Shrek and Wendy Darling appeared in Shrek the Third.
• Tinker Bell appears at the very end of Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
