About the Film

Peter Pan is a 1953 American animated musical fantasy produced by Walt Disney Productions, based on J.M. Barrie's 1904 play and 1911 novel. The film follows the Darling children — Wendy, John, and Michael — who are visited by Peter Pan, a magical boy who never grows up, and his fairy companion Tinker Bell.

Peter takes them on a flight to Neverland, a fantastical island populated by the Lost Boys, mermaids, and Native Americans, where they battle the villainous Captain Hook and his pirate crew. The flight over London sequence, set to the song "You Can Fly! You Can Fly!

You Can Fly!" as the children soar past Big Ben and over the moonlit city, was one of Disney's most magical and beloved sequences. Captain Hook became one of Disney's most entertaining villains, his theatrical cowardice and buffoonish rivalry with the crocodile that swallowed his hand providing consistent comedy. Peter Pan earned substantial revenue across its multiple theatrical releases and remains a cornerstone of Disney's animated canon.
