Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThough the film was a modest success, Walt Disney himself was dissatisfied with the finished product, feeling that the character of Peter Pan was cold and unlikable. However, experts on J.M. Barrie praise this as a success, as they insist that Pan was originally written to be a heartless sociopath.
- GoofsShortly after Wendy leaves the hands of the famous clock tower, her face disappears. All that is showing is a blank pink area (play the DVD in slow-motion).
- Crazy creditsA message appears during the credits: "Walt Disney Productions is grateful to the Hospital for Sick Children, Great Ormond Street, London, to which Sir J.M. Barrie gave his copyright of Peter Pan."
- Alternate versionsIn the 1990 home video release, instead of the original RKO logo, the film opens with the entire Walt Disney Pictures logo, with the Walt Disney Pictures logo music replacing the film's RKO logo fanfare. In the 1998/1999/2002 home video releases, and 2007 Platinum Edition DVD release, the RKO logo and its fanfare are restored, but they occur after the Walt Disney Pictures logo opens the film. In the 2013 Diamond Edition and 2018 Signature Collection releases, the Walt Disney Pictures logo isn't used at all and just begins with the RKO logo.

Featured review
Having seen this movie again several times recently, I have learned to appreciate this film a little more. While not nearly as good as some of the more famous Disney films (such as Beauty and the Beast, Bambi or Little Mermaid), it still deserves a 9 because it is head and shoulders better than other kids movies. The animation is very good, pace is fast and the movie is just fun. The negatives are simply a product of the times, in that this is about the most politically incorrect Disney film ever made (perhaps more so than Song of the South). I'm sure that MANY American Indians watch the film and deservedly cringe at the depiction of Indians, who seem rather dumb and sing the song "what makes the red man red?"--an ode to every terrible stereotype about Indians. BUT, I am a strong believer in discussing these things and NOT condemning the entire film. In fact, I am a history teacher and have used the film to talk about these aspects of the film.
