Peter Pan Movie Vs Play

Peter Pan originated in a book by J.M. Barrie that he wrote in 1902. In this book, children are born as birds and stay that way until given to their parents. Once they are chosen by their parents, they begin to transform into babies and will eventually grow up. However, Peter did not understand this and before he lost his ability to fly, he returned to Kensington Gardens. Here he is stuck in an in-between stage, half bird, half baby. He eventually loses his faith in flying, but the fairies returned the ability because they felt bad for him. When he returned to his home, he found his window shut and his mother holding a different baby boy.
Peter Pan became a much more popular character than intended, so Barrie decided to create a play with
Both interactions are very similar. Although in the play, Hook and Peter have a better encounter in the play I believe. Instead of tricking only Smee, as Peter does in the Disney film, Peter also tricks Hook into thinking he is someone other than himself. To me, this would have been very entertaining to see in the movie, but Hook seems to be more intelligent in the Disney version than he is in the play, with Smee in the movie being the less intellectual of the two. In the Disney version they add a lot more to the story as well, the whole song about the Red Skins does not happen in the book. This was an unnecessary and racist additive to the movie.
The biggest difference between the movie and the play is that in the end, Mrs. Darling asks Peter to live with them, but he refuses. He does not want to leave his life as a boy forever. In the movie version, Wendy offers it but they decline. To me, because Mrs. Darling asked in the original, it showed more just how much Peter did not want to grow up. Although, he brought Wendy to Neverland because he wanted a mother when an actual mother asks for him to stay he declines it. This proves that he likes the way he lives, and does not plan on giving it up for a very long
