Peter Pan

            I watched the Disney cartoon Peter Pan this week for the first time since I was young.  I had been interesting in watching this animation after watching the film Finding Neverland, a movie that I really enjoyed.  Peter Pan was just as magical as I remember from childhood.  The story is so incredibly original and playful that it is a joy to watch.  I always find it so interesting how Wendy’s character is so hated when arriving in Neverland.  First, Tinkerbell gets mad at Peter when she offers to kiss him after he invites her to Neverland.  Following Tinkerbell, Wendy is splashed at by the mermaids in Neverland.  They make Wendy, who in the real world is very in control and well liked, now out of place and not liked.  My favorite part of the film will always be the alligator who swallowed a clock, allowing Captain Hook to hear him approach.  This is incredible clever and fun to watch.  You hear the clicking and look forward to everyone’s response.
