And less than feeling like a naive child's statement about death, it feels like an open invitation. Peter's trademark line gets tossed around a bit, especially when he's close to being killed. And a snarky brat who was kind of suicidal? And the movie even makes hints as to his parents forgetting and deserting him as a child, so it gets pretty depressing. Like forgetting what love is, pretending not to care about his friends, and living in a perpetual state of careless abandon. Peter might be blessed with eternal youth, but that means he makes his own sacrifices. "But he's made many sacrifices for this family, and put away many dreams .Sometimes, late at night we take them out and admire them." The quiet courage of self-sacrifice is touchingly realistic, and somewhat buried underneath the movie's fantastical elements, but still resonates all the same. "Now your father has never brandished a sword nor fired a pistol, thank heavens," she tells an incredulous Wendy, John and Michael. Darling (Olivia Williams) as a bedtime story. Something you probably didn't pay much attention to as kids but might strike you hard watching as an adult is Mr. Canadian actress Carsen Gray, who is a Haida descendent, got to speak in her ancestral tongue in the movie and brutally insult Captain Hook all in the same breath. Joe Wright might be arguing himself in circles trying to explain a very white Rooney Mara's casting as the Native American princess Tiger Lily, but Peter Pan got it right 12 years ago. Tiger Lily was played by an actual Native American actress Hi to everyone who was in 6th grade when this movie came out and immediately fell in love with the blue-eyed, blonde-haired Jeremy Sumpter. Because we are all in this together. Speaking of gorgeous, Peter was all of our childhood crushes But in Peter Pan, there are so many shy glances and long looks that we could explode from the cuteness. In every other adaptation, Peter and Wendy's relationship is fairly one-sided.
Peter and Wendy had the most gorgeous chemistryīecause Peter Pan is prepubescent, he hasn't traditionally been the type to attract the ladies (unless you count Allison Williams sexually confusing Anna Kendrick in Peter Pan Live!). And Peter feels it too, groaning in pain the entire time. Then she just nonchalantly asks him for his knife to cut the string like it's not the coolest thing ever.
#2003 PETER PAN MOVIE CAST SKIN#
And here is Wendy just beaming while she's straight up sticking a needle into the bare skin of this rando boy who showed up in her bedroom in the middle of the night. You know that famous scene were Wendy and Peter first meet and Wendy offers to sew his shadow back on? Well she offers to do that in this film (a little enthusiastically), only to Peter's BARE FEET. So before you go see Pan or get all huffy about how you actually enjoyed Peter Pan Live!, take a look at our reasons why 2003's Peter Pan blows all the other Pan's out of the water. But this perfect little gem of a movie lays overlooked, when in fact it is the Peter Pan movie that should outshine all past and future adaptations. Hook was fondly remembered, if only for Rufio and Dustin Hoffman's scene-chewing as Captain Hook, and Disney's 1953 animated film will always be respected even if it was a bit racist (but it's okay, it was the '50s!).
