Back to All Events
The first film adaptation of J.M. Barrie’s beloved play, Peter Pan (1924) almost needs no introduction. The story of a joyous young boy, soaring over a magical land and refusing to ever grow up, has endured through decades and generations.
Upon its release, Fred Schader of entertainment industry giant Variety said: “Peter Pan is a picture that will go down the years as a delightful fantasy and crop up again and again as time rolls along, and with each return be welcomed with a new joy by a new band of children, who will join the ranks of the never-grownups.”
And it’s safe to say, he was right.
Fun Fact: George Ali, the actor and puppeteer who played the dog Nana, was the only stage actor who reprised their role in the film.
