Three children play pirates at their home. After they fall asleep a young boy's shadow gets away from him and wanders into the kids' room. The oldest daughter Wendy wakes up to find a mysterious boy named Peter from "Neverland" chasing his shadow around the room. The kids, in search of adventure learn to fly and fly away back to Peter's home in a fantasy land. Unfortunately a foe of Peter's, a real pirate named Captain Hook starts on the hunt for Peter and his new friends leading them on a chasing frenzy all around the new magical land.
Peter Pan is considered a western movie because it contains the outlaw: Peter, the villan: Hook, the vast landscape: Neverland, the journey: a flying adventure, and of course the chase. I really loved this movie as a child and i still love it because it reminds me of an innocent time in childhood when the world is within your grasp. The idea of this land where you can fly and explore to your hearts desire hits a spot in my inner child's heart.
