Short description

In stifling Edwardian London, Wendy Darling mesmerizes her brothers every night with bedtime tales of swordplay, swashbuckling and the fearsome Captain Hook. But the children become the heroes of an even greater story, when Peter Pan flies into their nursery one night and leads them over moonlit rooftops through a galaxy of stars and to the lush jungles of Neverland.

What's left behind the scenes

When Captain Hook is dressing in his cabin, a tattooed Eton College cross can be seen on his left shoulder, which Jason Isaacs actually attended.
While filming a flying scene, Jason Isaacs fell out of his harness and hung in the air, suspended by his ankles, upside down and almost entirely naked.
Initially, Barrie planned to write that Nana would go with the children to Neverland, and the end of the story would be much darker.
When Captain Hook is dressing in his cabin, a tattoo of the Eton College cross can be seen on his left shoulder, which Jason Isaacs, himself an Eton alumnus, has.
According to Carson Gray (Tiger Lily), what she says to Captain Hook in the Iroquois language roughly translates as, "You are evil. You smell bad. You stink of bear urine. You are old and ugly."
Three dogs were used as Nana during filming, and all three were male. In the film, Nana is a St. Bernard, not a Newfoundland, as she was in the book.
During filming, Jeremy Sumpter grew by more than twenty centimeters. Because of this, the nursery window had to be rebuilt four times so that the actor would not hit his head on it.
The role of Peter Pan could have gone to Zac Efron, who had played it repeatedly in school productions before this.
An alternative ending was filmed, matching the ending of the book, in which Peter meets grown-up Wendy (played by Saffron Burrows) with her young daughter Jane. It was included in the DVD release of the film.
With the exception of the 1987 Soviet television version, this film was the first live-action movie in which the role of Peter Pan was played by a boy (Jeremy Sumpter).
The film proved relatively successful, but Walt Disney (1901-1966) was still disappointed with it, believing that Peter Pan turned out cold and unappealing. Scholars of the work of Peter Pan's author, Scottish playwright J.M. Barrie (1860-1937), insisted that Disney had done a magnificent job, because Barrie himself originally depicted Pan as a heartless sociopath.
In search of the right sound for Tinkerbell, the filmmakers eventually realized that bells wouldn't work and used thin pieces of aluminum fastened together.
Both Jeremy Sumpter and Rachel Hurd-Wood were hospitalized at various points during filming due to injuries and exhaustion.
The film is dedicated to the memory of Dodi Fayed, who died on August 31, 1997, in a car crash along with Princess Diana. Dodi Fayed was one of the producers of Steven Spielberg's film 'Hook' (1991) and had serious plans to stage a new live-action version of 'Peter Pan'. His father, Mohamed Al-Fayed, became an executive producer of the film.
The role of Peter Pan could have gone to Zac Efron, who had previously played the part numerous times in school productions.
Following an old tradition in both cinema and theater, the roles of Captain Hook and Mr. Darling are played by the same actor. In this case, it is Jason Isaacs.
The final budget for the film was never announced, as the initially planned amount was exceeded several times, mainly due to the expensive sets.
According to Carcin Gray (Tiger Lily), what she says to Captain Hook in the Iroquois language translates roughly to: 'You are evil. You smell bad. You stink of bear urine. You are old and ugly'.
A film adaptation of the work by J. M. Barrie.
The song sung by Mrs. Darling and the children is 'When I Was a Lad' from the popular 1878 comic opera H.M.S. Pinafore by Gilbert and Sullivan.
Following a long tradition in both film and theater, the roles of Captain Hook and Mr. Darling are played by the same actor. In this case, it is Jason Isaacs.
The first sketches of the characters for "Peter Pan" appeared at the Disney studio in 1940. At that time, Disney studio artists often traced live actors as prototypes for their animated characters. The prototype for the little fairy Tinker Bell was a typical "calendar girl," Margaret Kerry, who also posed for one of the mermaids.
The book Aunt Millicent is reading is H.G. Wells' 'The War of the Worlds'.
Based on the work by J.M. Barrie.

During filming, Jeremy Sumpter grew more than eight inches. Because of this, the window of the children's room was rebuilt four times so that the actor wouldn't hit his head on it.
