Trivia

Steven Spielberg originally slated this film as a vehicle for Michael Jackson in 1983 after the latter expressed an interest in starring in it and contributing to its soundtrack. Spielberg instead decided to focus on Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (1984) and shelved the project until 1989, when pre-production the film began.

When Granny Wendy is telling the children about the story of Peter Pan, she is holding one of the original printings of the book. It is a first edition version which is noticeable by the olive color, and the gold gilt design on the front cover. The version was printed in 1911 as the first novelization of Peter and Wendy.

Goofs

When Hook is sleeping and his mustache reacts to the ticking pocket watch, you can see a very small thread pulling on the mustache curl. You can also see the effect of the string on his cheek.

In the showdown between the Lost Boys and the pirates on the pirate ship, the sun is directly behind both of the two facing groups - there are two suns and two moons in Neverland.

Jack's hair changes a few times from mussed up to swept back under his baseball cap just after Jack smashes the watch.

Q

Is 'Peter Pan' available for reading online?

A

Yes. Peter Pan, as well as Peter and Wendy, are in the public domain and may be downloaded for free from Project Gutenberg.

Q

Why did Hook wait so many years to go after Peter?

A

The Banning family lives in America. Apparently, Hook and/or his spy were looking for Peter at the Darling house in London. When Peter and his family show up to attend the dedication of a new wing in Granny Wendy's orphanage, Hook's plans for his long-awaited revenge are set in motion.

Q

Why does Peter forget that he is the Pan?

A

Travel between Neverland and London seems to have that effect. The longer you stay in one place, the less you remember about the other. For example, Jack forgets about Peter and 'adopts' Hook as his father and Neverland as his home after being there for just three days. Interestingly, this same phenomenon does not seem to affect girls. In Barrie's original story, Wendy asks Peter why there are no 'lost girls', and Peter explains that girls are too smart to fall out of their prams and become 'lost'. This would explain why Wendy never forgot Neverland and why Maggie didn't lose sight of her parents while she was held captive in Neverland.
