A free-spirited and mischievous young boy who can fly and never grows
up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on the
mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting
with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native Americans, and occasionally
ordinary children from the world. Like many other Disney adaptations,
Peter Pan was derived from some dark and tragic origins. The original
story was written by a man named J.M. Barrie, who had an unsettling
obsession with young boys. The author was six years old when he lost his
13-year-old brother, and he couldn't cope with the trauma.
