Disney's version of
J. M. Barrie's most famous play,
Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up (1904) popularised the green duds and elfish ears look that for many people is the definitive version of Peter. The screenplay handles the eve of young Wendy's transition into maturity with ease, but the mute fairy Tinker Bell is the film's most interesting character; driven by jealously for the mischievous Peter's affections she's arguably a more complex villain than even Captain Hook, the film's second best character. The remainder of the cast, especially the Lost Boys, are borderline annoying, but that's maybe just through adult eyes, and kids may feel differently.
