Peter Pan

Geronimi, Jackson & Luske · 1953 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

On the night the eldest Darling child is told she must leave the nursery, a boy comes back through the window looking for his lost shadow and teaches all three to fly on a happy thought and fairy dust. Never Land brings the lost boys, a mermaid lagoon, an Indian camp and a captain stalked by the crocodile that took his hand. Disney had chased the rights since 1935; the Indian sequence is now what it is argued about.
