Peter Pan

The story of Peter Pan, a boy who never grows up. He flies through the window of the Darlings' nursery in search of his lost shadow. There he finds the children, Wendy, John and Michael, and accompanied by feisty Tinker Bell, teaches them to fly.

They all take flight to the second star to the right and straight ahead to Never Land! There they meet with the evil Captain Hook and his pirate crew.

Tinker Bell grows to be jealous of Peter's friendship with Wendy and gets duped into helping Captain Hook who kidnaps the Darling children and the Lost Boys.

Just in time, Peter manages to save them all from the Captain, whose time is nearly up against a ticktocking crocodile.

77 minutes long.

You Can Fly! You Can Fly! The Second Star To The Right Your Mother And Mine A Pirate's Life Following The Leader Hide And Sneak Fun Facts In 1939, Walt Disney requested permission to use the story from Great Ormond Street Hospital in London, which held the rights to the play. But the film only began production in 1949. The film doesn't use any of the original dialogue from J.M. Barrie's play. Margaret Kerry was the real-life model for Tinker Bell, and not Marilyn Monroe as rumored. Hook loses his right hand in the original play, but the Disney animators though it would be less limiting if it was his left hand. The melody for "The Second Star to the Right" was originally to be used in Alice in Wonderland for a song called "Beyond the Laughing Sky." The live action model for Captain Hook was Henry Brandon.
