PETER PAN 1924

Everybody knows the story of Peter Pan and the Lost Boys, but if you haven't seen the 1924 movie version of Peter Pan then you only know half of it. I watched this movie for the first time only a few months ago, but since then I have watched it about three times.

If you don't already know, the plot of this movie is,
the Darling children (Michael, John, and Wendy) are tucked into bed by their parents. Their parents then go across the street to a small dinner party. In the night while the parents are away Peter Pan comes in through the window with Tinker Bell his fairy friend to find his shadow. They find it and Peter Pan tries to stick his shadow back on by rubbing his feet with soap. Haha. He realizes that the soap won't work and he begins crying. His crying wakes Wendy up and she helps him attach his shadow to his feet. Skip forwards a little bit and Peter Pan is leading the three children to the second star to the right and straight on 'till morning to Neverland. When they are there they meet the lost boys and the indians and the pirates and the mermaids and have a wonderful adventure. Wendy acts as the lost boys mother for a few days until she begins getting homesick and wants to go home. But, she, and the lost boys get kidnapped by Captain Hook, Peter Pan's arch enemy. Just as they are about to be thrown overboard by the pirates Peter Pan comes in and saves the day. or does he?

I recommend this movie for EVERYBODY! I give it five out of five stars. The actors are all wonderful and the story is of course a story that will never be forgotten. If you know what I mean. There is this one moment of the movie where Tinker Bell is about to die after she saves peter Pan's life. Peter Pan starts crying and freaking out over Tinker Bell, and then he looks straight into the camera and tells us that the only way to save Tinker Bell's life is if we tell him that we believe in fairies. And then he tells us to clap and it's just such a perfect moment. It's bound to make anybody smile.
