Peter Pan

On the data. This is a character page. None of these films is a sequel to any other except Return to Never Land, which follows the 1953 one, and that is the whole continuity. Barrie's play opened in London in 1904 and his own novel followed in 1911. In 1929 he gave the rights to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, and a special clause in British law from 1988 means the hospital still collects on stage performances of the play in the United Kingdom indefinitely, even though the copyright itself has expired. That is why Peter Pan is in a strange legal position: free to adapt in most of the world, and not quite free here. The 1953 Disney film is the version almost everyone pictures, and it carries something that has to be said plainly. Its depiction of Native Americans, including a song called What Made the Red Man Red, is a racist caricature, it was contested at the time and not only in hindsight, and Disney+ now puts a content warning in front of it and does not cut it. The 2023 remake replaces those characters entirely and casts the role of Tiger Lily with an Indigenous actor. The other films mostly exist because the story keeps tempting people. Spielberg's Hook asks what happens if Peter grows up, and was dismissed by critics on release and then adopted wholesale by the audience that was eight at the time. P. J. Hogan's 2003 film is the closest thing to Barrie anyone has filmed, and it was buried by opening in the same month as the final Lord of the Rings. Pan, in 2015, tried to start a franchise with an origin story and lost somewhere above a hundred million dollars doing it. Tinker Bell has a run of her own, eight films and specials, which are on the Disney Fairies page rather than here.
