Peter Pan is a 1953 American animated film produced by Walt Disney and based on the play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up by J. M. Barrie. It is the fourteenth film in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series and was originally released on February 5, 1953 by RKO Pictures. Peter Pan is the final Disney animated feature released through RKO before Walt Disney's founding of his own distribution company, Buena Vista Distribution, later in 1953 after the film was released. Peter Pan is also the final Disney film in which all nine members of Disney's Nine Old Men worked together as directing animators.

The film was entered into the 1953 Cannes Film Festival. A sequel titled Return to Never Land and a prequel titled Tinker Bell were released in 2002 and 2008 respectively.

On par with nearly all the other traditional animated Disney classics before and after it.

This is easily the most problematic Disney movie if you care about that sort of thing. Almost all the humor in the movie is sexist or racist. Other than that though, this is definitely one of the most magical of Disney’s canon. Who hasn’t wished to remain a kid forever? Who hasn’t wished to go to a magical land where mermaids, pixies and magic are real? The wish fulfillment is glorious and makes the viewer feel immensely warm inside. Definitely one that’s grown on me in recent years.

Captain Hook elevates this over the other "whimsical journey through a nonsensible fantasy land" stories that Disney was keen on. He is the worst but every second spent with him is a lot of fun. And I'm always from some crocodilian protaganists.

The Pan and Wendy story about finding the right time to grow up ... eh? What exactly changed between the start and ending of the movie?

And though it makes feel a little guilty saying it, "What makes a red man red" is a heck of a tune.
