Peter Pan and Wendy Trailer Notes:
Here are some things I noticed by carefully looking at the trailer:
* At the beginning of the trailer, I noticed Wendy does not have the acorn around her neck. So I’m guessing the “kiss” part will not be included in this version. Also it doesn’t look like the Lost Boys shoot her down in this version either.
* The Peter and the Lost Boys hideout is not in a tree like in original story or in the animated version. It looks like a ruined building of some sort. I’m not sure how there could be a building in Neverland, but okay. Maybe they’ll explain it.
* I’m glad the mermaids will appear in the movie, though we’ll find out when the movie comes out how much screen time they’ll actually have.
* Mary Darling is seen in the trailer talking to Wendy, but I noticed George Darling only appears in the trailer in what looks like a flashback or memory scene, and I’m hoping they didn’t kill George off in this version! I don’t think any version has ever done that. Disney is famous for killing off at least one parent of the protagonist to make them more sympathetic, but of course Wendy doesn’t need that at all!
* In the trailer, Peter is riding on a horse with Tiger Lily to the Jolly Roger, so this must be the scene after he’s been saved from being poisoned, or blown up if they’re copying from the animated version and not the original story, and going to the ship to save Wendy and the Lost Boys. So it seems in this version, Tiger Lily brings Peter to the ship instead of him going on his own. Also Wendy seems to have been rescued before Peter shows up and Tinkerbell is with Wendy on the ship, so I guess Tinkerbell rescues Wendy from being tied up on the ship, then Wendy fights some of the pirates, then Peter shows up.
* There’s a ton of, maybe a bit too much, focus on Wendy in this trailer. I can’t give my opinion on how I think Peter or Hook is portrayed so far because they only say a few lines. But I’ll find out next month…
* On the ship, Wendy is wearing a string necklace with a feather on it probably given by Tiger Lily or possibly the Native American chief.
I already know the movie probably won’t be totally accurate to the source material when it comes to all of the story’s themes, but hopefully it gets at least some of them right and that the characters are relatively accurate! Personally, the accuracy of themes and characters are the main things I want done right in this movie way more than accuracy of the plot.
