Peter Pan is the fourteenth animated feature in the Disney animated features canon. It was produced by Walt Disney Productions and was originally released to theaters on February 5, 1953 by RKO Radio Pictures.

PeterPan is different from any other version because it is the first time the story has been imagined in live-action for the big screen.
PeterPan is such an enigma: children love the story because of the adventure, but they are not mature enough to understand that they should appreciate their childhood as much as they can.
PeterPan appeals to adults as well: adults used to be children, and while they remember some childhood fun, much is forgotten.
PeterPan is the story of the boy from Neverland who refuses to grow up.
PeterPan is not one of my favorites among the Disney animated films, not because it's not an okay film in its own right (it is), but because it's such a watered-down version of J.M. Barrie's marvelous play (and the later stage musical version of the play, which is available on DVD from Goodtimes).
One note: at the beginning of the movie, right after the title appears on screen, there is a note from Disney thanking the Hospital for Sick Children in London, to which Barrie benevolently donated the copyright (and thereby the proceeds) for PeterPan.
