Peter Pan, the boy who still refuses to grow up, even though he was introduced to the world by Sir James Barrie in 1904, is having the most rollicking adventures of his life at the hands of Walt Disney and his band of cartoonists. On-stage, Peter has always been played by an actress dressed as a boy, his friend Tinker Bell by a “light and a bell,” the nursery dog Nana by an actor shuffling about in skins – and Captain Hook's pirate ship could never fly. Walt Disney has unchained all of Barrie’s characters and animals, and gives them free- wheeling adventures in Peter's wonderful native habitat, Never Land. Peter Pan, a feature-length cartoon in Technicolor (RKO), is Disney's most fanciful and good-humored work since Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. Its characters, adventurous fantasy, songs and music – and general good fun—will entertain the whole family.
