Peter Pan

I enjoyed reliving the story of Peter Pan. I never realized that the movie that I adored as a child originated from a story book.

The story tells of an English family with three children named Wendy, Michael, and John Darling. The three children's world is turned upside down, however, when Peter Pan enters their life. Peter Pan is a young boy who originates from Neverland who flies and refuses to grow up. One evening just after Mr. and Mrs. Darling leave for a ball Peter and his little pixie, Tink, arrive at the children's window. Little do the children know that it will be their last night for a very long time in their home. Wendy immediately wakes up to discover Peter rummaging for something in her bedroom. When Wendy asks him, Peter declares that he is looking for his shadow. Wendy, who has been saving the shadow for him, quickly pulls it from a dresser drawer and proceeds to sew the shadow back on for Peter. Peter eventually confesses on his visit that he has been listening to Wendy at night telling her brothers wonderful stories. He then gets the idea that Wendy could come to his Neverland to serve as the mother to he and the lost boys. (The lost boys are the motherless boys that reside in Neverland.) Wendy agrees and quickly wake Michael and John. After undergoing a lesson in flying, Peter and his new travelers fly to Neverland. However, the visit to Neverland is far from dull. Pirates, wild indians, mermaids, and hungry alligators continue to plague the four children. And who could ever forget Peter Pan's constant duel with Pirate, Captain Hook.
