Peter Pan movie appears as a summon in the sequel, Kingdom Hearts II video game. In childhood, Walt Disney played Peter Pan in a school function. Was the final Disney film in which all members of the Nine Old Men worked together on it as directing animators. The film is based on the play Peter Pan or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up by J. This is something that I hope the upcoming live-action version will do correctly and that they will be presented in an accurate and respectful manner.Is the fourteenth animated feature in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series. The depiction of the Native American characters continue to be problematic. To this day, I have a fondness for the story and a warm place in my heart for the original film. I would often go to bed with the music from the film playing in the background, the songs becoming embedded in my memory over time. I was in awe of the fantastic world that Walt Disney and his team had created.
However, my first introduction to the story was, like so many others, this 1951 film.
I even read the “Peter and the Starcatchers” book series, which acted as a prequel. I enjoyed it in many incarnations including the original book, the 1991 film Hook, and the 2003 live-action film. Growing up, Peter Pan was always in my consciousness in one form or another. From the opening of Walt Disney’s weekly television show to her appearances at the parks, the symbol of Tinker Bell has represented that Disney magic since the 1950’s, and continues to do so to this day. Even if a child has not seen Peter Pan, they can immediately place Tinker Bell as a symbol of Disney, same as Mickey Mouse. In fact, Tinker Bell is the literal embodiment of Disney magic. It has become one of Disney’s most prized staples on film and television as well as in the parks. However, perhaps the greatest thing about Peter Pan has been its long-lasting cultural impact. I challenge you to listen to this without smiling! The second song would be “You Can Fly”, which is so full of joy, it is contagious. For me, it evokes those feelings of childhood better than any other Disney song I can think of. “The Second Star to the Right”, which opens the film, is both gorgeous and nostalgic. This film and those songs are so linked together, it is almost impossible to think of one without the other. Also like Disney’s previous films, Peter Pan continues the tradition of great original songs. For Wendy, they brought back Kathryn Beaumont who had recently provided the voice of Alice. Actor Bobby Driscoll, who had worked with the studio in Song of the South and Treasure Island, came on board to voice Peter Pan. Marc Davis- one of the Nine Old Men and the animator for Tink- studied Kerry and used her movements as a guide to animate the character. To get the character of Tinker Bell just right, the studio brought in dancer Margaret Kerry as a reference for the character. One example would be their use of live-action models. With Peter Pan, Disney and his animators continued using techniques that had been successful with their previous films.
