Fastpass to History ~ The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up
Hello FastPass to History Blog Hoppers!
Thank you Frontierland Station for hosting this blog hop!
Disney's animated classic Peter Pan was adapted from the stage play by J.M. Barrie Peter Pan, or the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up. As cute as the movie's introduction of Peter Pan ended up, original story ideas included presenting Peter Pan as a darker more devious character intent on kidnapping Wendy to serve as a mother to the Lost Boys.
Eventually they decided to stay closer to the original play, including the story of Peter Pan listening to Wendy's stories and losing his shadow rather than this darker route. Interestingly enough, Peter Pan follows that alternate background in his role during the current television series Once Upon a Time on ABC.
Do you watch Once Upon a Time? Which way do you prefer Peter Pan?

I had been wondering how Peter Pan's darker side on Once Upon A Time fit in. I like the animated version of the character much better. Thanks for linking up!
ReplyDeleteI was as well.
DeleteI've seen the play and musical before, so I knew it wasn't from those. I love Once (especially Rumplestiltskin) and thought that evil Peter Pan was an interesting take on the story. To think they've been considering it since the 40's!
