Summary

Based upon Sir James M. Barrie's 1904 play about the boy who refuses to grow up, this film begins in the London nursery of Wendy, John and Michael Darling. The three children are visited by Peter Pan, the boy who refuses to grow up. With the help of his tiny friend, the fairy Tinkerbell, Peter takes the three children on a magical flight to Never Land. This enchanted island is home to Peter, Tink, the Lost Boys, Tiger Lily and her Indian tribe, and the scheming Captain Hook who is as intent on defeating Peter Pan as he is from escaping the ticktocking crocodile that once bit off the pirate's hand.

Why is Pegasus black? Why did this flying horse need to be recast El Negro? It makes about as much sense as casting {1} in the role of Ralph Kramden. There is no reasoning being placed behind it, other than, We can do what we want! We can do what we feel! It's strange that in both {2} and 2005's {3}, the only hint of imagination or originality came from swapping ethnicities. In neither case does it pertain to, or help push along the story. It's senseless esthetic scrambling. Sure, poor black fol
