‘Peter Pan & Wendy’ trailer sparks Disney nostalgia with live-action update of animated classic - "Where is Peter Pan?" - well he sure ain't in this movie

(CNN) — The trailer for Disney’s “Peter Pan & Wendy” – based on the Mouse House’s 1953 animated classic “Peter Pan” – dropped on Tuesday, and it certainly presents a movie that looks far more inclusive than past retellings of the original J.M. Barrie tale.

“But you’re not all boys,” Ever Anderson’s Wendy Darling says to a group of kids in Neverland who tell her they’re the “Lost Boys” in the clip.

Those kids are, in fact, not all boys. Two girls then appear on screen to respond to Wendy’s observation with a simple and spirited, “So!?”

“Blackish” star Yara Shahidi is also seen in the trailer as Tinker Bell, Peter’s fairy friend who accompanies him and the Darlings through Neverland. Shahidi is the first Black woman to portray the tiny fairy on screen.

The movie also stars Alexander Molony in his feature film debut as Peter Pan, and Jude Law as a very creepy-looking Captain Hook, who is seen in the trailer sporting his signature hook, red coat and twisted mustache as he asks Wendy, “Where is Peter Pan?”

The trailer shows all of the classic figures from the ’53 film, including the Darlings’ beloved dog Nana and a faithful representation of John Darling (Joshua Pickering) in his top hat and rounded spectacles.

An aerial view of the mermaids shimmering and splashing in the sea beneath Wendy and her brothers, who are soaring the skies above, is shown in the trailer. And Tiger Lily, played by Alyssa Wapanatâhk, is seen telling Wendy, “Hold the past in your heart, but where you go from here is up to you.”

From the 1991 cult classic “Hook” starring Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman and Julia Roberts to NBC’s 2014 “Peter Pan Live” telecast starring Allison Williams and the 2015 “Pan” film, Peter Pan and Wendy’s adventure is a story that’s been previously visualized on screen in countless ways.

The new “Peter Pan & Wendy” presents an inclusive version of the classic tale, one that blends Pan’s fantasy world into a landscape for today.

“Peter Pan & Wendy” will begin streaming on Disney+ on April 28.

But browns already have their own classics to reboot like:

The littlest Sambo
Omar Goes To Juvi
Pepe and the Ms13 Initiation
Pocahontas & The Type II Diabetes Fairy
Me Fuck'Em White Man
Ming Li Uses Uppers To Get into Harvard
Little Billy Lost in Boy's Town


And many more classics. Why they got to appropriate our stuff and claim it's progressive and cool.

They believe everything needs more nigs.

Unless it's aimed at China. Nigs removed.

 

[Super-Chevy454]

I feel sorry for the actor who'll play Peter Pan, he might follow the same path as Bobby Driscoll.

 

[Mothra1988]

Hollywood doesn't exist to me anymore. Remake every movie and change every character brown. You still won't get a cent from me.

 

[cybertoaster]

So peter pan its used as an insult now by mainstream radfems accusing "manchilds" of being like that, and comparing the lost boys to incels............so what, they made peterpan a black manchild and added femcels to the lost boys?

BTW Hook already had a super diverse cast back when that was rare, and it was a good movie because they didn't use virtue signaling to cover for their mediocrity, unlike this shit.

Why does everything “inclusive” have to be a retread of a classic story? Why can’t they come up with their own stuff?

Because a new story would require marketing, while peter pan its already a well known brand........that its out of copyright so they also don't have to pay any contemporary children books author for the rights to their works.

I love that they've got literally YEARS worth of this woke nigger worship in the can and waiting for release, when mainstream audiences are sick of it and getting more and more aggravated by every new instance of it.

It's like a line of clowns standing backstage, waiting to go on, and they can hear the audience throwing shit at the clown who just went out there and screaming, "we hate clowns".

As long as the ESG money wont run out they are okay, the moment that stops then they're gonna shift to what actually sells.

Again, its about the money.

Disney would rather recycle one of their old movies for a raceswap than risk making an entirely new movie like Encanto.


"fantasy+politics world"

Every latino I know, and I know a ton of them, hated encanto, they considered that crap a gringo's idea of how latin america is.

Most of them told me they prefer the old-ass shorts Disney's himself made after visiting latin america back in his day, because the old guy actually went there and saw the culture himself instead of asking a 5% mexican pocho who can't even speak spanish what latino culture is.

And the lost boys have girls. I'm pretty sure that's not canon. But I didn't expect anything less from Di$ney.

Honestly I have read old versions where there was girls but the point about it being lost boys was because of upper class Education being sex segregated in England at the time, if your school was integrated class rooms but had seperate sides of the room and lunch and recreation areas that was considered dangerous.

Why are they still doing this live action shit? Who is the intended audience for this? I genuinely don't understand the thought process "let's make that thing that everybody loves again but objectively worse in every way". It's not like the other live action films have done well either, I think the last one I heard anybody talk about IRL was Lion King.

Coryright renewal nothing more nothing less, it's why you have seen Steamboat Whillie in a few recent productions. Dysney are desperate to keep the mouse out of public domain and whillie was there testing ground for later this year and 2024 - 2026 when the mouse is up for expiry.

Disney would rather recycle one of their old movies for a raceswap than risk making an entirely new movie like Encanto.

All of hollywood and entertainment is like this now, they are extremely reluctant to try anything new because they think they have enough back catolouge to work with, I'd like to remind them that there is a new best seller every week but the Epic of Gilgamesh still exists and is still selling copy's 4K years after it was first written down and predates that by millennia.

Still, Disney clearly hasn't learned from their loss with Ant-Man. Guess we know how an SJW-fied company will act. Like a gimp who loves punishment.

They can't they are to big now, corporations have a life cycle and they don't adjust when they get too big they just lurch around before falling and breaking up into far smaller bits, and that's where they are now and when they fall expect to see a lot of new attempts at new storeys and story telling in general as everyone has been cribbing off them for the last 60 years.

If I were a chaos agent inside Disney , I'd keep pushing it further and replace all the female characters with POC trannies. Everyone hates trannies and this will help to final put a nail in the coffin of these stupid character swap experiments.

The comments on that (stupid) trailer are pretty funny.

"I love the part where Tinkerbell says to Hook “Look at me. I’m the captain now” it makes me reconsider my life’s meaning."

"The part where Peter said "Mr. Electric, send him to the principal's office and have him expelled!" sent me chills down my spine."

"I love the part where Wendy said "Don't let go Peter" and Peter sank into the freezing ocean so that she could sit on the floating wardrobe panel. Absolutely tear-jerking."

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

Disney plus originals are just the modern version of straight to dvd

 

[Big Judge Cock]

Isn't Disney plus that service that is hemorrhaging subscribers? Also lol niggers, we already have a good version of this so fuck off.

Peter Pan 2003, was highly underrated I thought.

That movie is pretty good, actually. A bit disturbing, but good overall. If you want a good adaptation of Peter Pan story, this is it.

The actor has made a short film about the origin of Rufio, or so I just found out. I might watch it later. I thought he wasn't very popular as character (being such a product of the 90s), but it looks like I was wrong.

Hey, Hook is also not a bad movie.

Let's be fair, Disney movies have NEVER been original, even back when it was good. Anything they have ever done was adapt already existing stories, literally their first movie Snow White is an animated adaption of an existing story. If anyone tries to say something like "BUT WHAT ABOUT THIS MOVIE" I assure you I will be able to find the original material that movie was based on, whether if it was an old book, movie, or even simply a concept.

The difference between then and now is that Disney had soul and creativity and knew how to appeal to the common person. In an era of creative bankruptcy, it is ultimately not too surprising that a company that has always used existing ideas to succeed would suffer this era worse than any other company out there.

What is most surprising to me is their utterly retarded stubbornness to not even lay off even a little bit. While some other companies have realized they should tone down the retardation, Disney keeps accelerating to light speed levels of wokeness and blatantly obvious low creativity.

"You white people steal culture and never make anything of your own!"
*takes things white people made and changes roles to nonwhites because they won't make anything of their own*

 

[Lucille Bluth]

Wasn't there an actual Indian (feather) tribe in Disney's version? Having them be separate from Peter's group is an easy justification for a white/non-white society. Just write them into more stuff, it's not that hard to figure out.

I think the Feather Injuns always existed in the original material. The Wiki mentions something about American Indians there. Apparently Tiger Lily is in this movie. Don't know where the dot Indian Peter Pajeet came from.

I almost thought Wendy was blackwashed, but it seems like Tinkerbell was the sacrificial lamb to this soulless cash-grab.

With all the talk of Tiger Lily finally being played by a Feather Injun, will there be justice for Tinkerbell, a Native Pixie Hollow fairy with blonde hair, being niggerified? Or are only Injuns in fiction count as natives? I'm sure this Tinkerbell will be friends with ghetto Ariel.

 

[Standardized Profile]

Just rerelease this and tell everyone it's about a FTM reliving the boyhood xe never had:

They'll go expecting something woke-affirming and get wholesome entertainment instead.

"You white people steal culture and never make anything of your own!"

The media's gonna defend this and call us call wacists.

Remember, there is no "white culture", and the crackers have no native ethnic homelands. Everyone else does though. European culture is bad while Asian, African and American Injun culture must be protected because colonialism. Black Ariel is justified despite the story's Scandinavian origins but a Nigger Mulan in Chinkland or a Jap Jasmine in Sand Niggerland is not.

Yeah it got a bit Freudian at times. But I just thought that was an interesting subtheme to throw into a story we've all seen before.
