Another day, another live-action adaptation of one of our favorite Disney classics. The latest reboot to join the ranks is Peter Pan & Wendy on Disney+. Most people certainly recognize this movie as a live-action adaptation of the 1953 Disney classic, Peter Pan. Yet, it’s clear when you watch this new version, that the minds behind Peter Pan & Wendy set out – not just to remake a fan-favorite animated Disney film – but also to give some nods to the versions of this story that came before. Even if, like many of us, you’ve already watched and enjoyed Peter Pan & Wendy, you might be surprised to find out just how many details you missed on the first watch. Among those details were many, many interesting nods to the source material. Of course, there was some iconic imagery, classic costumes, a familiar furry friend, and a reference to the soundtrack from the movie that so many of us loved as kids. Writer, J.M. Barrie originally wrote the play, Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up that premiered way back in 1904. He followed it up with the novel, Peter and Wendy, in 1911. Peter Pan & Wendy made so many references to these early versions that plenty of fans of the animated film, alone, likely wouldn’t have recognized. And, they even made a reference to something a bit more modern: Disney’s Fairies franchise. It’s clear that Peter Pan & Wendy wanted to marry the many iterations of Peter Pan together in one piece to make for a new classic, and we’ve got all the details that show just how they did it.
