MOVIES; Wendy is the hook, really; After 100 years, the new 'Peter Pan' again has the girl driving the adventure, the romance, the myth
2004
Overview
There have been many versions of \"[Peter Pan],\" several by the author, a successful novelist and playwright. But the most widely known is the play, which Barrie wrote in a two-week burst of inspiration in 1902. Triumphantly produced in London in 1904, \"Peter Pan\" was instantly vacuumed into the Anglo-American psyche. There has been a silent film (1924), a radio play (1936), an animated film by Disney (1953), and a musical play (1954) that was later televised and several movie \"sequels\" (\"Hook\" and \"Return to Never Land\"). \"Peter Pan\" the work is as timeless as Peter Pan the character because Barrie wisely avoided a further ex- ploration of the pros and cons of growing up. Although Barrie and [Wendy] and today's filmmakers felt the same pang in leav- ing Peter eternally on the other side of the win- dow, that is where we and our children and our children's chil- dren need him, ever ready to teach us to fly and to guide us to the second star on the right.
