Peter Pan

Peter Pan

One of the best films of Disney. 1953. Directors: Clyde Geronimi, Hamilton Luske, Wilfred Jackson.
In a boring and grey London, the Darling siblings Wendy, John and Michael dreams about a fantasy boy named Peter Pan. But then, the mother of the children says that Wendy is about to grow up and she can't stay in the boys room any longer.
Wendy doesn't want to grow up, so she's sad. But when the parents leaves for a party and the siblings are about to sleep, a mysterious man shows up on the roof and moves towards the children's window.
Wendy wakes up and sees the boy she has been dreaming about, Peter Pan. He tries to glue his shadow to his feet so that the shadow won't run away again.
When Wendy has helped Peter, she tries to kiss him. But Peter's little fairy-friend Tinkerbell stop Wendy from putting her words to action.
Then, the brothers wake up and after that Wendy has explained that she has to grow up, Peter promises to take the siblings to his island, Neverland. An unimaginable adventure awaits them there!
The perfect film for children. The location is funny but maybe a bit unimaginable, for the people without any fantasy.
I can find Peter Pan a bit to careless and stupid, and that he would forever be a child is really to impossible to imagine. Especially when you see the follow up to this film, when Wendy is an adult and Peter is still a child. Disgusting.
There's some funny scenes in this film and it's really worth seeing. Especially for children.
