Prior to the silent film Peter Pan , Tinker Bell had always been represented by a spot of light, and jingling bells. Faced with the challenge of bringing her to the animated world, animator Marc Davis had actress Margaret Kerry who voiced one of the mermaids come into the studio to be a reference model. Captain Hook and George Darling are voiced by the same actor.
Keeping with the traditions of the stage production, Hook and George Darling are played by the same voice actor, Hans Conried. They also bear a strong resemblance to each other for the same reason. Both Ward Kimball and Ollie Johnston make cameos on the film. Filmmakers actually cut up pieces of aluminum, and strung them together. Share this article. Facebook Pinterest Twitter Tumblr.
First, we must begin by recognizing that Peter Pan came to notice in the stage play by James Matthew Barrie , a Scottish author and playwright. They were the inspiration for the boy who has adventures in nearby Kensington Gardens in London and the magical Neverland. What is not as well know is that J. His mother was overcome with grief as David was her favorite son among her 8 children.
In his biography of his mother, he wrote that she found comfort with the idea that her dead son would forever be a boy who would never grow up and leave her. Indeed even physically, J. Barrie never grew above 5 feet 3 and a half inches.
The play, later published as the novel Peter and Wendy in , debuted just after Christmas on December 27, A year later, it was seen on Broadway starring Maude Adams one of the most popular American stage actresses at the time. She subsequently took it on a national tour, and J.
Barry wrote several plays for her. Marceline , Missouri, was on the Santa Fe railway line when the tour rolled west. Walt Disney saw the play and was enthralled. Later, a classmate at Park Elementary School produced his own version with Walt in the starring role. Nana is heartbroken as she never sleeps in the dog house. George feels sympathy for Nana but claims the children are not puppies and Nana is truly a dog.
When George and Mary leave for the party, Mary asks if the children will be okay without Nana, because Wendy mentioned capturing Peter Pan's shadow the previous night at the window. George calls the whole thing ridiculous and tells his wife that she's as bad as the children are, and that it's no wonder that Wendy is getting crazy ideas. That night, they are visited in the nursery by Peter Pan himself. Wendy is awakened when Peter is trying to get his shadow on. Wendy offers to sew it on for him as he is trying to reattach it with a bar of soap.
Through conversation, Wendy learns that Peter likes to hear her stories. However, when Peter learns that she is to "grow up" the next day, Peter offers to take her to Never Land where she would never grow up. There, she could be the mother of the boys who live there. Wendy tries to kiss Peter out of gratitude, but Tinker Bell , who is jealous, pulls Wendy's hair. By this time, Michael and John awaken and are allowed to go with them.
Peter sprinkles the three with pixie dust, and after a few false tries, they are able to fly by thinking happy thoughts. While flying to Neverland, Michael grabs Tinker Bell from the window sill and pours some pixie dust on Nana on her back, causing her to fly, but gets caught by the rope as she waves goodbye to Michael as they fly away. Peter then takes them to the island of Neverland.
A ship of pirates is anchored off Neverland, commanded by Captain Hook with his henchman Mr. Hook boldly plots to take revenge upon Peter Pan for cutting off his hand. Captain Hook laments Peter Pan's role in causing Tick-Tock the crocodile to follow him, due to Peter cutting off Hook's left hand and throwing it to the crocodile; Tick-Tock found it so delicious, he follows him everywhere for another taste. Tick-Tock suddenly shows up next to the ship; Hook hears the clock ticking and his eyebrows and pointing mustache begin twitching in rhythm with the music of "Never Smile at a Crocodile".
The crocodile's eyes begin popping up to the tune, sending Hook into a panic. The crocodile then emerges from the water onto a rock rubbing his belly and licking his lips, accompanied by a wide smile towards the captain. Hook then screams for Mr. Smee to save him, and Smee shoos off the crocodile. The crocodile then frowns and wiggles his tail to the ticking clock while sulking away.
The crew's restlessness is interrupted by the arrival of Peter and the Darlings. The children easily evade them, and despite a trick by jealous Tinker Bell to have Wendy killed, they meet up with the Lost Boys: six lads in animal-costume pajamas, who look to Peter as their leader. John and Michael set off with the Lost Boys to find the island's Indians, who instead capture them, believing them responsible for taking the chief's daughter Tiger Lily. Meanwhile, Peter takes Wendy to see the mermaids, where they see that Hook and Smee have captured Tiger Lily to coerce her into revealing Peter's hideout.
Peter duels Hook and have the crocodile chase him away. As Peter crows in triumph, Wendy reminds him of Tiger Lilly, and he rescues the princess. Peter is honored by the tribe.
Eventually, Wendy tells her brothers and the lost boys about the real world and having a mother, at which Peter believes they are leaving to grow up, never to come back. Meanwhile, Hook plots to take advantage of Tinker Bell's jealousy of Wendy, tricking her into revealing the location of Peter's lair.
The pirates lie in wait and capture the Lost Boys and the Darlings as they exit, leaving behind a time bomb to kill Peter. Tinker Bell learns of the plot just in time to snatch the bomb from Peter as it explodes. Peter tries to find and rescue Tinker Bell, while debris fall in the process. As he can see her light, however, more debris fall on Peter off-screen.
Peter then rescues Tinker Bell from the rubble, and together they confront the pirates, releasing the children before they can be forced to walk the plank. Peter engages Hook in single combat as the children fight off the crew and humiliates the captain.
Peter fights Hook in a final showdown until the pirate begs for mercy.
