Every Single Peter Pan Movie in History Explained!
The History and Evolution of Peter Pan in Television and Film

Peter Pan, the eternally young boy who adventures through Neverland has an appealingly neverending history and legacy in books, theatre, film, and television. Making his debut in The Little White Bird by J. M. Barrie and soon appearing in Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up or Peter and Wendy.

Peter Pan soon took to film and television appearing in classics like 1953's Peter Pan as well as 2003's adaptation with Jeremy Sumpter. Films like Hook with Robin Williams and Return to Neverland continued the legacy of the original story in interesting and unique ways.

Peter pan has been on our screens in some form or another for almost 100 years now and with a few new announcements, it seems that we will be watching Peter Pan for the next 100 years to come!

It's refreshing to see a new-generation movie reviewer examining a character arc over the decades, and also taking in the entirety of film history, as opposed to the last decade or so!

[HappeChappe]

Loved this video essay! I was a huge fan of Peter Pan growing up as well! 🤩 There was a also a film simply called 'Wendy' which released last year which is meant to be a reimagining of the Peter Pan story 😊

You got something dead wrong: Peter Pan has been traditionally portrayed by a woman because the first production was done in the style of an English Pantomime. In Pantos the leading male character ("lead boy") was then played by a woman. This has changed over time, but still happens in some productions.

I'm with you in that the 2003 Peter Pan is definitely the BEST!! In fact, it's one of my favorite movies of all time! ❤️

[MrCaptainA]

Would consider doing an updated version of this video adding the 2014 "Peter Pan Live", the 2017 National Theatre Live version, the 2020 movies "Come Away" and "Wendy", last year's "Lost Girls" movie, and this year's remake "Peter Pan and Wendy" from Disney+?

[Psycadillo]

Jeremy Sumpter's Peter Pan was elite, he was such a perfect casting for the character

[Pumpkinshire]

Thanks for making this video! I was thinking about me using Peter Pan for a short film, and this is good inspiration and I also I’m gonna go by every version in this video!

[maldon]

I'm surprised you didn't mention the Peter Pan no Bouken anime or Peter Pan & The Pirates

[JJ-zevb]

The awesome Peter Pan anime from the 80s missing completely here.

I always enjoy a good evolution of a character with different directors and costume artists and seeing how people adapt the character to their style.

[mreu]

the 2011 movie neverland is my personal favorite version because it attempts to explain the magic using science

granted the science used is dubious at best but still it's a better explanation than just "magic"

[calledonchasepillay]

So can remember those old Disney Peter Pan days Caleb 😁

[CalculuzHD]

I actually vividly remember watching Pan(2015) somwhere between 2015-2016, and from what I remember, I had absolute no idea it was supposed to be a Peter Pan story

[MichaelPrince]

Practically the book of Peter Pan is actually dark in itself.

[jordsnel]

Digging the new direction!! Baller video.

[Riversradios]

There’s definitely been a lot of Peter Pan movies since last updated

Come Away
Peter Pan and Wendy (2023)
The Lost Girls
Wendy (2020)
East Of Kensington

[milicabukara]

Loved the video!
I'd like to add a newer movie called 'Come Away' which is an adaptation of both Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland. It was very interesting and I truly loved it. As a big fan of the story (watched all the movies, read all book adaptations canon and non-canon) I think you'd like this one. 😊

[michaelstethem]

Did you know that their was an animated series called Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates?

[danielmalinen]

Was this video made before 2020 when audiences were introduced to a super loose adaptation of Peter Pan, a movie called Wendy, which tried to breathe new life into the story by completely retelling it but failed due to the weirdness of that odd movie adaptation?

[isaiahwilliams]

They forgot Peter Pan Live with Allison Williams and Christopher Walken
