Synopsis
Neverland, a faraway place where the sun always shines, the sky is always blue, and no one ever grows old. This is the land where Peter Pan and Tinker Bell live!
In London, the Darling children, John, Wendy and Michael, love hearing the wonderful tales of Peter Pan's adventures with the friendly Indians and nasty pirates. One night, as Wendy is telling John and Michael a story, Peter Pan arrives looking for his shadow. Finally catching it, Wendy helps Peter sew it back on as the other Darling children watch in amazement. How could Peter Pan thank them for all they had done? After all, the children were growing and Peter comes from the land where you never grow up.
So... Peter Pan sprinkles Tinker Bell's pixie dust over the children and tells them to put happy thoughts in their heads so they can fly away with him to Neverland where everyone is always a child at heart. In Neverland, the evil Captain Hook captures Tinker Bell and the Darling children and holds them captive while looking for Peter Pan. Wendy is about to walk the plank as Tinker Bell reaches Peter Pan and guides him to the ship. Peter saves Neverland and the Darling children by throwing Captain Hook back into the waters where Mr. Crocodile who took his hand years ago is ready and waiting for him. Pixie dust flies once more, taking the children back home, never to be bothered by Captain Hook again. And, as Peter Pan and Tinker Bell fly away, they promise never to forget the children, and they never do!
