  3. General Plot Summary • “An adaptation of J. M. Barrie's story about a boy who never grew up. The three children of the Darling family receive a visit from Peter Pan, who takes them to Never Land, where an ongoing war between Peter's gang of rag-tag runaways and the evil Pirate Captain Hook is taking place” • ~ Tim Pickett

  4. General Background • Was written by J.M Barrie not the Grimm Brothers • Wendy’s Journey • Written in 1890 • Film was released in 1953

  5. J.M. Barrie • The original writer of Peter Pan • Characters were based on his family • Dark and scary underline meaning • Captain Hook • The Crocodile

  6. I Won’t Grow Up • One of the many main themes • Clarity • Floating • Reluctance to grow up • Feelings into reality • No commit • Lonely • Based off true story • James Barrie's Brother • Pretended to act like dead brother • Age 13

  7. Neverland • A place to go where you never have to grow up • Metaphor for eternal childhood, immortality and escapism • A place for children to have fun and obtain their childhood

  8. Peter Pan Syndrome • Popular psychology book The Peter Pan Syndrome by Dr Dan Kiley • The Peter Pan Syndrome (PPS) describes men, who are childlike in their relationships, their ability to handle responsibilities, and their pursuit of pleasure. “He’s a man because of his age; a child because of his acts. The man wants your love, the child your pity. The man yearns to be close, the child is afraid to be touched. If you look past his pride, you’ll see his vulnerability. If you defy his boldness, you’ll feel his fear” (p.3). • Claimed that typical PPS patients’ problems stem from their disturbed relationships with their mothers

  9. Peter Pan Syndrome Continued & Peter’s Shadow • When Wendy suggests that Peter is crying because he does not have a mother he replies: "I wasn't crying about my mother. I was crying because I can't get my shadow to stick on. Anyway, I wasn't crying“ • Peter obviously has more of an emotional attachment to his shadow than he does to his mother. In a sense, his shadow is his mother figure. He loses his shadow the same way he loses his mother: by leaving through the window of a nursery. • The shadow functions as a constant for Peter, a role similar to that of a mother.

  10. Peter Pan • Product of Wendy • Not committed • Murderer • Immortal • Deal • Revenge • Psychopomp • The origin of the name • Greek god • Explanation of behavior • The history of pan • Captain Hook • The Crocodile • Crocodile with ticking clock= metaphor of Barrie being stalked by time

  11. Wendy • A pre-pubescent girl who is going through a lot of changes to becoming a woman • Throughout her journey she showed maternal instincts for her brothers • Semi-romantic/sexual feelings towards Peter Pan

  12. Wendy & Alice…Dorothy too? Wendy Alice In Wonderland Wizard of Oz

  13. The Lost Boys (& their fate) • Befriended 3 boys • Father was never around • Idolized kids and their mom • Played Indians and pirates • Mr. Davies & wife Sylvia Davies die of cancer • Barrie becomes legal guardian of boys • As boys got older they became distant from Barrie • George Davies died in WWI • Michael Davies drowned in a pool • John Davies married and distanced self from Barrie • Peter committed suicide to escape being known as “Peter Pan” • Barrie died rich, famous, and lonely

  14. The Darlings • Created play based off the Davies boys • George Davies= Mr. Darling • Jack Davies= John Darling • Michael and Nicholas = Michael Nicholas Darling • Peter Davies= Peter Pan • Himself= Captain Hook (Barrie had paralysis from tendonitis in right hand) • His dog became nana • Wendy was based off Barrie’s friend whose daughter died

  15. Tinkerbell • Non Speaking Role • Facial Expressions • Love to Jealousy • Iconic • “The Magic of Disney” • Margaret Kerry: • Well known American actress • Motivational Speaker and Host • Model for Tinker Bell • Spent 6 months rehearsing as Tinker Bell • Also known to be the voice of mermaid

  16. Commercialism • Products • Other shows/movies • One of the only Walt Disney movies that have multiple movies based off of it (approximately 40) • Finding Neverland, Return to Neverland • Hook (Steven Spielberg, $120 million) • Tinker Bell “series” • Most movies explained/featured a certain part/person or the development within the original movie.

  17. Female & Male Characters As A Whole • Females: • Tinkerbell: • epitome of provocative femininity • represents everything an English lady can only dream about • Childish, undisciplined, irresponsible, & dangerous • “Tinkerbellishness” • Mermaids= Virginal appearance • Wendy=object of envy/shown realistically & not as a princess who needs a knight to save her • Tiger Lily=female archetype of the “noble savage”

  18. Female & Male Characters As A Whole Males: Neverland suffers from a lack of mature functioning men Story within a story Distortion that games are the main purpose of characters’ lives Lack of mature males reflects Wendy’s lack of understanding of masculinity

  19. Sexuality Roles • Exchange for goods • Father to husband • Male centered • Homosexual relations

  20. Theories • Wendy’s father Mr. Darling was once a Lost Boy or at least visited Never Land before • This explains why he recognized Peter’s ship • This also explains as to why Peter Pan wanted Wendy to come to Never Land • Peter Pan can be seen as a child murderer. • Tinker Bell represents Absinthe a.k.a “The Green Fairy” • Peter Pan gives children Tinker Bell’s magic fairy dust and tells them if they believe they can fly to Neverland • The Lost Boys are just more people Peter Pan tricked into jumping out windows • Captain Hook is actually an Angel, he was trying to capture Peter Pan to stop him from harming children.

  21. The final message according to Disney • Imagination is important • Stereotypical view of Native Americans • Positive role models • Peter pan • Tinker bell • The mermaids
