anniversary of the timeless classic and enjoy new and original bonus features!
BURBANK, Calif. — In celebration of its 65th
anniversary, Disney’s beloved flight of fantasy, “Peter Pan,” joins the highly celebrated
Walt Disney Signature Collection, landing in homes on Digital and Movies
Anywhere on May 29 and on Blu-ray June 5. With a little
faith, trust and pixie dust, every member of the family will let their
imagination soar on this epic adventure to Never Land, sparkling with legendary
animation, extraordinary music and both all-new and classic bonus features.
The
Walt Disney Signature Collection edition of “Peter Pan” invites adventures of
all ages to believe in magic once again and experience a timeless treasure from
Disney’s golden age of animation that has stirred the hearts and imaginations
of moviegoers worldwide since its original 1953 release. The Signature
Collection edition offers over two hours of classic bonus features plus
never-before-seen extras, including the latest installment of “Stories from
Walt’s Office,” which explores Walt’s love of flying and the company planes; a
nostalgic reunion between Kathryn Beaumont (the voice of Wendy) and Paul
Collins (the voice of John); and new “Oke” renditions of the classic song “You
Can Fly” and deleted song “Never Smile at a Crocodile” accompanied by on-screen
lyrics and the film’s unforgettable animated characters.
In “Peter Pan,” fantastic adventures
await the Darling children—Wendy, John and Michael—when Peter Pan, the hero of
their stories, whisks them away to the magical world of Never Land. After
flying with Peter and the delightfully impish Tinker Bell past the “second star
to the right and straight on till morning,” they explore the enchanted island
and Peter’s secret hideout with the Lost Boys, and leap into high-flying
battles with swashbuckling pirates and the infamous villain Captain Hook.
“Peter Pan” is the seventh title to join
the Walt Disney Signature Collection, which includes groundbreaking films
created or inspired by the imagination and legacy of Walt Disney, featuring
timeless stories and characters that have touched generations. The film takes
its place alongside “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Pinocchio,”
“Bambi,” “The Lion King” and “Lady and the Tramp.”
THE 411:
My kids had never seen Peter Pan until last year when our local school put on a production. They loved it and I was able to tell them how the play was different than the movie. They were so eager to watch. They loved it and my daughter has watched it two times since we watched it over Memorial Day.
My kids are like Peter Pan and know that growing up isn't all it is cracked up to be. They totally related to how Peter didn't want to grow up and believes that kids are better off without parents but understood Wendy too who couldn't wait to go home because everyone needs their mother and she was too young to mother anyone.
I waited to see if they would pick up on their own any of the 21st Century problems people are finding with the film. The only thing she mentioned was that there was a line in the movie that said "girl's talk too much." Other than that, the see it as an entertaining film about the Darling children, Peter Pan, Tinkerbell, Captain Hook, The Lost Boys and Tiger Lily and that is what I saw when I was a kid too. Let's not take everything so personal. It doesn't have to be political, prejudiced or what have you. Let's not forget this movie was made 65 years ago. It was a different time and a winner for Disney.

- Growing Up with Nine Old Men – “Peter Pan” is both a story of living with a child’s sense of openness to the world and an acknowledgement that the path to adulthood most often leads away from those qualities. A parallel of sorts to that duality can be found in Walt Disney and his core group of animators, the Nine Old Men, in their lives and in their work. Our short film will look at who they were and the parts they played in one of the most remarkable team of artists that ever worked together.

- Deleted Song: “Never Smile at a Crocodile” – With music played over static concept art of the crocodile from Pater Pan.

- Deleted Scene: “The Journey Home” – A proposed alternate ending where Peter asks the Lost Boys to return home with Wendy and the other children.
- Deleted Scene: “Alternate Arrival” – A deleted scene where Wendy and the children are initially attacked by the Lost Boys because Tinker Bell tells them that Wendy is holding Peter captive. We also see in this version of the story that Nana the dog travels to Never Land with Wendy and the children.
