Ep. 64: Peter Pan (2003)

Of Slippers and Spindles - Fairy Tale Retellings and Adaptations in Books, Film, and Theatre

"I do believe in fairies! I do! I do!"
Drew and Cassie are here to gush over the 2003 film adaptation of Peter Pan starring Jeremy Sumpter, Jason Isaacs, and Rachel Hurd-Wood! This film knows that Wendy is the protagonist and focuses on the underlying romantic tensions between Peter and Wendy in some beautiful and unique ways. We talk about the movie's incredible soundtrack, a generation's crush on Jeremy Sumpter, adaptation vs. retelling, Barrie's vision for a film version of Peter Pan, the many wonderful performances from the three leads as well as Carsen Gray, Ludivine Sagnier, Richard Briers, and Theodore Chester, Neverland's location in the universe, the pink affect, the incorporation of the power of the hidden kiss throughout the movie, Hook's flight, the emotional reunion at the end, and much more!
