Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThough the film was a modest success, Walt Disney himself was dissatisfied with the finished product, feeling that the character of Peter Pan was cold and unlikable. However, experts on J.M. Barrie praise this as a success, as they insist that Pan was originally written to be a heartless sociopath.
- GoofsShortly after Wendy leaves Big Ben's hands, her face disappears. All that is showing is a blank pink area (play the DVD in slow-motion).
- Crazy creditsA message appears during the credits: "Walt Disney Productions is grateful to the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, London, to which Sir J.M. Barrie gave his copyright of Peter Pan."
- Alternate versionsIn the 1990 home video release, instead of the original RKO logo, the film opens with the entire Walt Disney Pictures logo, with the Walt Disney Pictures logo music replacing the film's RKO logo fanfare. In the 1998/1999/2002 home video releases, and 2007 Platinum Edition DVD release, the RKO logo and its fanfare are restored, but they occur after the Walt Disney Pictures logo opens the film. In the 2013 Diamond Edition and 2018 Signature Collection releases, the Walt Disney Pictures logo isn't used at all and just begins with the RKO logo.

Featured review
Disney Version Technically Superb;Plot is Oversimplified
Barrie's "PeterPan" is a highly complex story.There are strong elements of social satire,moral ambiguities,deep psychological issues,and emotional traumas investigated in this play.Almost all these aspects have been eliminated in the animated version.Topics such as: dealing with our parents,abandonment,mixed feelings toward our loved ones,and developing a mature adult libidinal attitude have all been erased.Hook's escape at the end,and the return of Peter AND the Lost Boys to Neverland violate some of the core elements of the story.Those criticisms aside,this is really well done.The animation is excellent;the characterizations are first-rate;and by actually having Peter done by a boy,an element of a (benign )sexual rivalry between Wendy and Tiger Lily is introduced.The boys,pirates,and Indians are marvelous,and the crocodile is a masterpiece.(He does act more like a dog than a reptile;Nana come back in disguise,maybe?He reminds me of a miniature dachshund I owned for 13 years.)This is probably the best way to introduce anyone to Peter Pan.
