Faith, trust, and pixie dust need not succumb to the passage of time. Adults are assured that they won't be denied an escape either, though, as the promise of Never Land is that we all can hold on to our childhood forever. As is so often the case with these enduring magical tales, children are empowered and made the center of attention. In Never Land, children are revered and adults are made the enemy. The story extends fantasy to every age group too. A feminine audience can enjoy Peter Pan too, though, as Peter's continual rescue of Wendy and Tinker Bell's jealous pursuit of the same offer strong modes of romantic fantasy that traditionally appeal to a feminine sentiment. Masculinity is reinforced not only by the swashbuckling sword fights, but by the female characters' endless fawning over Peter as well. In this way, Peter Pan is very much a male fantasy. It is also a world in which battles are commonplace and responsibility is elusive. People fly, mermaids speak, and pirates see children as their most formidable opponents. Three children in London РІР‚вЂњ- Wendy, John, and Michael РІР‚вЂњ- are whisked from reality into a world where youth is eternal and adventure is at every turn. That comes as no surprise, as Peter Pan is the most fantastical of any of Walt Disney's films. Originally planned as one of his earliest features, Peter Pan was delayed a decade by World War II, finally released to theaters in 1953, where escape-hungry moviegoers ate it up and made it a huge hit. The play itself was finally published in script form in 1928, the year of Mickey Mouse's birth.Р”В«arrie passed away the same year that Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs took to theaters, but Walt already had plans in mind for the Scottish author's most famous work. The Little White Bird was excerpted and repackaged as Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens in 1906, followed by the novelization of the play, Peter and Wendy, in 1911. Most familiar to audiences from the famous stage play, Peter Pan had actually first appeared in the 1902 book The Little White Bird, mere months after Walt Disney's birth. Barrie's popular story was one of Walt's favorites, second only to 'Snow White.' Walt and his team had been at work on Peter Pan long before World War II.

With the release of Cinderella in 1950, he introduced his global audience to an era of fantasy that would span the rest of the decade.

Following six years of tight budgets and governmental interference that meant producing package films, so was Walt Disney. The world was ready for an escape in the aftermath of the second Great War. : Disc 2 Bonus Features, Menus and Packaging, Closing Thoughts : The Movie, Video and Audio, Disc 1 Bonus Features Songs: 'The Second Star to the Right', 'You Can Fly!', 'A Pirate's Life', 'Following the Leader', 'What Makes the Red Man Red?', 'Your Mother and Mine', 'The Elegant Captain Hook' Darling), Paul Collins (John), Tommy Luske (Michael), Candy Candido (Indian Chief), Tom Conway (Narrator) Voice Cast: Bobby Driscoll (Peter Pan), Kathryn Beaumont (Wendy Darling), Hans Conried (Captain Hook, Mr. Theatrical Release: Febru/ Running Time: 77 Minutes / Rating: GР”Вirectors: Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson, Hamilton Luske
