Peter Pan: The Lost Movie

There's probably dozens of remakes of the 1924 classic Peter Pan. When I think of Peter Pan, I think of childhood imaginations. I think of growing up. I think of my own childhood. It's insane to think how significant movies become to popular culture and individual lives. The famous character Tinkerbell is probably tattooed on thousand of girls around the world as a symbolization of dreams and fairytales. Peter Pan, Captain Hook, and Tinkerbell costumes are sold every Halloween. There is a Peter Pan busline, a Peter Pan peanut butter, and who knows what else is out there. I admit, I have a purple star-shapped pillow with a picture of Tinkerbell on it. Peter Pan, the movie, has become an iconic movie in cinema history, and deservingly so.

Peter Pan made his big debut in a play in 1904. The play was adapted into a novel in 1911. In 1924 was made into a silent film. And in 1953 became an adaptaion of Walt Disney's Peter Pan. The story of Peter Pan is magical and creative. From Captin Hook, to Wendy, to the Lost Boys, its story captures our imagination. The boy who never grew up, is what Peter Pan is most known for. In a way, I think Peter Pan is so popular and so significant, is because maybe there's a Peter Pan in all of us. We all just want to fly to our special land where our imagination rules and we never ever have to grow up.
