To me, the “I do believe in faeries” scene has always been to show that Peter CAN love. He loves Tinkerbell, as a best friend and constant companion; and the thought of him losing her is enough to IMMEDIATELY break through his ego and facade and begin pleading for her life in the only way he - a child - knows how. If saying that you don’t believe causes faeries to die, then saying you DO must cause them to live. It’s such simple logic only a kid could have come up with it. Fun fact, the reason that Universal AND Disney were both allowed to do an adaptation of Peter Pan is because Peter Pan wasn’t an original Disney property, it’s a book written by JM Barrie in 1911 and therefore by the time 2006 rolled around and Universal wanted to make their adaptation, the copyright had already expired and they could do whatever they wanted. The live action movie actually follows the book A LOT closer than the Disney version, to the point that a lot of the narration and dialogue is just quoted word for word. They did a fantastic job capturing the emotions of the original work. Not that Disney’s Peter Pan wasn’t amazing, it’s one of my favorites and the ost is my favorite Disney osts of all time. But they definitely adapted it to be for a younger audience, as opposed to having romance and killings. They turned a fantasy book geared mostly for children and made it a children’s movie, and they succeeded. But I feel like the live action one is a fantasy movie with mostly kids in the main roles.

I was shook hearing that the live action isn’t Disney. It took the exact route as the Disney version, with slight modifications for live action. Since the Disney version took certain liberties with the original story, there’s no way they did this by accident. They clearly based this off of the Disney version and not the book.

[@Boo-et1qj]

[@melodramatic7904]

I'm sorry but I read the book and it's clearly based off the book, not the Disney version. You can clearly seeing it in the acting. The book very clearly hinted at a romantic relationship between Wendy and Peter. The Disney version only hinted at it while the live action version leaned ALL the way in. The other "slight" modifications are in the book, so that is what you are seeing. For example, all of the narrations were lifted straight from the book. I love the first conversation between Wendy and Peter so much because it is SO ACCURATE to the books. For example, when Peter asks Wendy to come with him to Neverland and Wendy asks if her brothers came come too, the books make it VERY CLEAR that it was ONLY THEN that Peter realized the boys were even there. The live action didf a GREAT job recreating that by literally not showing her brothers until that very moment. And the actor's reaction is straight from the books. Peter is only interested in Wendy, not her brothers. The whole missunderstanding about a kiss and a thimbil and an acorn, plus the acron saving Wendy and, since Peter gave her his acorn as a kiss, him saying "my kiss saved her. All lifted straight from the books.

[@AtlanticGiantPumpkin]

@@melodramatic7904 I second this; the dialogue was often ripped straight from the book.

Note: In the 1900s the kids were just lumped into a nursery until a point, and at the time of course parents stood against childish fantasies, since children were meant to be seen and not heard.

Hey, loved your reaction, but just a reminder: this is a clear adaptation from the original book and play from 1906 and 1911, not the Disney version. The 2003 movie actually received the official approval of the Great Ormond Street Hospital, which owns or used to own the rights for Peter Pan. It was the first time Peter Pan was actually played by a male actor, they respected the tradition of having the same actor for Hook and Mr Darling and they managed to add the I do believe in fairies scene, which was pretty ballsy since it originally came from the play and required the audience's participation by shouting the iconic sentence in order for Tinkerbell (who really drank poison, wasn't taken down by a bomb) to come back to life. The reason many people think this movie took a lot from the Disney version was because the Disney version respected many aspects of the original material, like Hook's coat being scarlet, Nana the dog, etc. But the 2003 version is much closer in terms of story to the original than Disney's version.

[@brandiarmstrong2902]

In the stage play, Hook and George Darling were always played by the same actor, which is most likely why the two never shared the same stage at once, or the same scene in any live action interpretation. The folks at Disney may have been paying homage to that fact, even in the animation choice to make the two characters look uncannily similar.

[@SassySoda]

There's an alternate ending where Peter goes back to the house, but each time Wendy is older and she gets married and has kids. In the Disney animated second movie, Peter takes Jane, Wendy's daughter, to Neverland. But Peter ends up marrying Wendy's granddaughter, Moira and leaves Neverland to grow up and he forgets all about Neverland until his kids are kidnapped by Hook - which is where the live-action movie Hook comes in. There's also "Finding Neverland" which focuses on James M Barry, the author of Peter Pan, and shows how he got the inspiration for the story. It's very moving.

There's a tradition from the stage that the same actor who plays Hook also plays Mr. Darling. When films keep that tradition, it adds to the story, in that Hook represents the children's psychological image of their father. As for Peter Pan, he represents that innermost child in all of us who refused to grow up. After this, I recommend the film Hook, in which the question is asked - what if Peter Pan did grow up?

[@Jumpyman_thegamerYT]

The origin of Peter Pan goes like this. (This is considering more modern movies which talk about his backstory). He was a normal boy growing up in Victorian England. He saw that growing up wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. So he managed to run away from his mother, who had been taking him out for a walk. Although, along the way, he encountered another group of children who didn’t necessarily feel the same way as him. So Peter essentially kidnapped them by luring them in with false promises about childhood. They would eventually become the lost boys. Both Peter and the Lost Boys would eventually forget all about their time as normal humans, and forget about the life they had before coming to Neverland. They were all kidnapped by Captain Hook, who took them to Neverland. But they escaped. One thing that people never consider is that Captain Hook is actually a good guy (Well, kinda). I mean, he tries to stop Peter Pan from kidnapping anymore kids.

Wrong, wrong, wrong. This is not the origin of Peter Pan. This may be a modern added backstory, but it is not the original origin. If you want the actual origin of Peter Pan, read Peter Pan In Kensington Gardens by J.M. Barrie. You you know, the actual author of Peter Pan. Read that and the original book. Anything else is pure fanfiction. Peter flew away from home at one week old and escaped to Kensington Gardens in London. Babies were birds before they became human so they still remember how to fly. He lived in the park with the fairies and the birds for a very long time and had many adventures. There's even a statue of Peter Pan on the Hyde Park side of the gardens today. Now how exactly he went from an eternal one week old living in Kensington Gardens, to a bit older boy living in Neverland is never said. Different books. But, Lost Boys are said to be boys who fall out of their prams when their nurses aren't looking. Girls are too clever to fall out of their prams, which is why there are no Lost Girls. If I had to guess, most of these boys likely fall out and get lost in Kensington Gardens and end up in Neverland maybe with the help of fairies like Peter did. But that's my own guess, it doesn't say. Peter does have a terrible memory, that is true. He has a tendency to forget anything that's not in front of him. As for the other boys, it's not really talked about much, though it's implied they don't really remember the before time either. Hook was educated at Eton College, and it is implied it would be a great scandal if his real name was known, but we don't know how he or his crew got to Neverland either. He claims to have been the bo'sun of Blackbeard himself, and the only man of whom Barbecue was afraid. And he regularly murders members of his own crew. Don't fool yourself into thinking he's a good guy.

I have a thimble tattoo and my best friend has an acorn tattoo because of how much we love Peter Pan (and each other) Also I just need to add how magical this soundtrack is like even after almost 20 years it still gives me goosebumps!

[@kendrickdinger]

My sister and I want to get matching Peter Pan tats where mine is “second star to the right” on my right shoulder and hers is “and straight on till morning” on her left! It’s our favorite Disney movie☺️

[@miaf.9587]

AAAHH I'm so excited you're watching the live action Peter Pan! It was one of my favorite childhood movies and still one of my favorite movies today

[@CeltycSparrow]

Disney needs to take a hint from THIS movie when it comes to casting their live action version of Peter Pan.....because their choice for the actor who plays Peter looks about 5 years younger than the girl they chose for Wendy. He looks way too SMALL. I know Peter Pan is the spirit of youth, but he's also the leader of the lost boys. Notice in this version, he's taller than everybody else. He has an air of being the oldest and being in charge.

[@sanaabarber2333]

Is anyone else kinda mad Peter never came back💀 cuz bro I’m heated. I shipped them from start to finish ALL FOR HIM TO NEVER RETURN???

[@jnne4048]

*the best live action adaptations are the ones that stay true to the book ["i do believe in fairies"]; most of the time they're not under disney yet still do 10x better*

[@Grannymodu]

You always make me laugh 😂 you need to see Hook with Robin Williams Also I think your theory on the animated dad being Captain Hook is correct because in the live action version the actor who plays Hook also plays the dad! He plays Lucius Malfoy too

[@gigiwwdreamer]

I recommend reading Peter and the Starcatchers! It’s a great reimagining and prequel to the Peter Pan story line and it’s about how Peter becomes Peter Pan

[@ShesquatchPiney]

This movie is so good. The care that went into this to make a lasting, faithful adaptation to the cultural phenomenons that were the play and book. I think the Victorian as well as 50's versions had their own anxieties about growing up on display in their respective versions. In the 00's version Wendy, roughhouses with her brothers and does less nurturing than the 50's version to make room for her storytelling talent. It makes Wendy's desire to grow up and experience real life so she can be a writer feel justified, and her separation from Peter more sad.

[@N.a.r.i]

You know, there is a scraped ending scene from this movie, every time I watch it I feel emotional

[@booklover0102]

It broke my heart that in this version Peter and Wendy didn’t end up together. Their chemistry was amazing!!💗🥲 also I love that you didn’t notice that Hook and Darling were played by the same actor. I was 16 when I found out 💀

[@christiandacanay3086]

The funny think them having great chemistry? Both their actors had really great chemistry that the big kiss scene in that movie was their very first one in their lives. I even heard that Jeremy Sumpter (Peter) deliberately messed up the kissing scene many times, so he'd had an excuse for him and Rachel Hurd Wood (Wendy) to kiss as much times as they like. Jeremy even joked about it years later they were hiding on the set just so they can kiss.

[@alwaysahiccupandastrid]

The live action Peter Pan is my favourite of all the Peter Pan adaptations ❤️ it’s a lot closer to the book than the Disney version, and it remains a favourite of mine even now as an adult. I mean, I like the Disney version, I even have a tattoo of the silhouettes of the kids flying to Neverland from the Disney one, but the 2003 remains superior for me; the soundtrack (by James Newton Howard), the casting, the visuals, the way that they translated the “audience, clap if you believe in fairies” from the play into the children around the world chanting they believe in fairies… it’s a lot closer to Barrie’s play/book but also cuts out the more racist aspects about the Indians (like calling them the “Pickaninny tribe”) (the Disney animated film also has a problem with this as they have a whole song called “what makes the red man red”) There was also a deleted ending scene for the 2003 film taken from the epilogue of the book where Peter comes back to the nursery years later, and Wendy has grown up and has a daughter named Jane, who goes off to Neverland with Peter. And there’s actually a tradition of the actor who plays Mr Darling also playing Captain Hook that originated back when Peter Pan was a play - unfortunately, the upcoming Disney live action isn’t continuing this tradition and has cast two separate actors for the parts 😭 Also the fact that nearly everyone had a crush on Jeremy Sumpter as Peter Pan growing up 👌🏻😭

[@adambrannon8934]

George Darling and Captain hook being played by the same guy isn't anything new. I'm not sure if it was intentional in the original play, but it's sort of symbolic that the Dad and hook are the antagonists for Wendy's story

[@itzakpoelzig330]

The original play just did it to save money. Why hire two different actors for two characters that share no stage-time?

[@adambrannon8934]

[@brandiarmstrong2902]

Re: Tiger Lilly... In the DVD copy, we learn that the actress who plays her is an Iroquois Indian. Her long speech to Hook was really Iroquois. Roughly translated, it means "You are the life-stealer. You are evil. You smell bad; you smell like bear poop. You are many moons old and ugly. Unintentionally, Smee just saved her butt. "Sorry, but no," my Aunt Fanny! Smee has not only the guts to lie to his Capitan, but also the scruples to try to keep the girl from being gutted like a fish. Now, what they do with her later..... Well, that is a different story. Re: I Do Believe in Faries In the book, as in the stage play, everyone reading/watching was strongly urged to clap their hands if you believe in fairies. They had us crying during that scene of the play. Crying over the fate of a flashlight fading as the bell that accompanied the light grew quieter and quieter.

[@kcamanda5215]

Lakia: What if lost boys grow up to be pirates Disney: Yep...that's the story we are going to run with.

[@breeeeeeee_]

in the brothers Grimm version of peter pan, he is actually the villain, he steals boys from their homes and manipulates them, which in the long run makes them either forget or resent their past lives, so they become his servants while they think they're his "friends" or "crew". they also don't stop growing up unlike peter. (in the show once upon a time, they go on that route too with peter pan...) so it makes sense that when the lost boys grow up he disposes of them and they probably refugee shelter from hook and then grow a hatred for peter, also while wanting him dead to prevent him from kidnapping more boys.. idk maybe this is confirmed somewhere but it's a theory i've always thought of as well THE LIVE ACTION PETER PAN IS MYYY FAVORITEEEEE.. I ADOREEE IT

[@agenttheater5]

10:12 It's a two-in-one - on the one hand, the voice actor for Mr Darling is the same voice actor for Captain Hook, and on the other hand it shows he might once have been a Lost Boy or had once visited Neverland and goes back to the beginning whens the narrator said "This has all happened before, and it will all happen again."

[@kellydepaz525]

The Peter Pan story has always had a special place in my heart, so seeing you react to two different versions made my morning 😊❤️ Also, if your inclined, I highly recommend Hook, which stars Robin Williams, Julia Roberts, and Dante Basco.

[@sS0O0L]

Last time i watched the live action was at least 5 years ago, but i think as a kid my brain took a screenshot of this movie. I remember so much of it and i love it so much too. The scene where Peter turns pink and start flying like crazy is engraved in my brain permanently, I swear this mvoie makes me so happy.

[@talicecue]

9:29 you know the story of the original Peter Pan’s VA is honestly sad, Disney threw him away when they realized he was getting older and he turned to drugs

[@christiandacanay3086]

Which in turn, killed him. I also think Disney casting a British boy for Peter Pan in Peter Pan and Wendy is also a big disrespect on the memory of Bobby Driscoll.

[@GeekGirl-ub7ki]

Just so you know both movies are adapted from a book so neither are the "original". In fact, the first adaptation was a stage musical in which Peter Pan was played by an actress pretending to be a young boy. This movie took the "I do believe in faires" chants from this stage play. In it Peter asks the audience to clap as loud as they can and say it so its a nod to that. Disney was lauded as the first time Peter was played by a boy.

I'm honestly surprised, because I've never heard of this live-action rendition. I assumed it would be about Pan, which is a slightly more surreal telling of Peter Pan with a more adventurous take on it. Nevertheless, wonderful video either way.
