I find Peter to be amusing in his ignorance.
She can make beds, carry drinks, and even alphabetize! Nana truly is “man’s best friend.” The Darling family dog, Nana, serves as a nursemaid. Heck, had it not been for the title character’s quick reflexes, Tinker Bell’s antics would have killed Wendy! Jealous that Wendy is taking Peter Pan’s attention away from her, Tinker Bell is just spiteful. I think she’s even more unlikeable than Captain Hook because the pirate is at least funny. Until she valiantly redeems herself in the film’s latter scenes, the fairy is perhaps the most dislikeable character in Peter Pan. Though I often think of Tinker Bell as a charming and kindhearted creature, she’s one of the most complex characters in Disney history. Maybe the story of Peter Pan isn’t so bad for his children. She wants neither herself nor her brothers to endure chaotic lives akin to those led by the Lost Boys of Neverland.Īdditionally, George concedes that he was too jaded. She realizes that having fun and playing are fine, but limits have to be set. Wendy changes her tune upon experiencing Peter Pan’s dominion. Here, George is entirely practical, while Wendy wants to remain a child forever. The film’s main theme concerns the balance of childhood innocence with the practicality needed to succeed as an adult.Įxtremes dominate the beginning of the movie. Can the children survive the wrath of Captain Hook and his gang of pirates?
Neverland has much excitement but also plenty of danger. Peter Pan and his fairy Tinker Bell enter the nursery and take the children, Wendy, John, and Michael, to Neverland, a magical place where maturity is never required.
Unbeknownst to George and Mary, magic occurs after their departure. It’s time for her to grow up and commence a practical life. This story exudes the virtues of childhood innocence, and George, an extremely grounded person, doesn’t approve of it.Īfter one accident too many, George finally snaps and declares that Wendy, the eldest of his three children, will have to leave the nursery for her own room the following night. Rushing to prepare for an evening in London with his wife, Mary, George Darling becomes frustrated with his children’s belief in the legend of Peter Pan.
