Produced by Walt Disney Pictures, the film is a live-action remake of Walt Disney’s 1953 animated picture Peter Pan, itself based on the 1904 play Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up (aka Peter and Wendy) by J. M. Barrie.

On April 13, 2016, production on a live-action Peter Pan film began with Lowery attached to direct and write the picture with Halbrooks. They spent the next four years developing the screenplay and writing the script. On January 7 of next year, 2020, the film’s title was revealed. Disney+ is where you can watch the first episode.

Peter Pan And Wendy Plot

The play Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up (1904), and the novel Peter and Wendy (1911) are J. M. Barrie’s most well-known works. Peter Pan, a naughty yet good-natured young boy who can fly and has numerous adventures on Neverland with its inhabitants of mermaids, fairies, Native Americans, and pirates, is the protagonist of both stories.

Peter often tells tales of Wendy Darling and her brothers, his fairy Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and the pirate Captain Hook. Barrie’s close relationship with the Llewelyn Davies family served as the impetus for both the play and the novel. After the play’s initial run, Barrie worked on it for several more years until finally publishing the script in 1928.

Playwright Dion Boucicault’s daughter, Nina Boucicault, played the lead role in the play’s London premiere on December 27 of that year, 1904. In 1905, a Broadway performance starring Maude Adams was staged. Actresses Marilyn Miller and Eva Le Gallienne participated in a later revival. The play has been adapted into numerous forms, including a pantomime, a stage musical, a television special, and a number of films (from a silent version in 1924 to Disney’s animated feature picture in 1953 and a live-action version in 2003).

Although pantomime variations of the play are regularly done in the UK around the holiday season, the play itself is rarely performed on stage these days. The original has lost ground in the United States to the 1954 musical, which was a smash hit on American television. In 1911, Hodder & Stoughton and Charles Scribner’s Sons released the novel in the United Kingdom and the United States, respectively.

Artist F. D. Bedford contributed a frontispiece and 11 half-tone plates to the original edition of the book (whose illustrations are still under copyright in the EU). May Byron, with Barrie’s blessing, published a shortened version of the work in 1915 under the title Peter Pan and Wendy. It wasn’t until 1921 that Mabel Lucie Attwell added her illustrations to this edition. Barrie donated the rights to his Peter Pan works to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children in London in 1929.
