In his London home,

Mr. Darling was in a frightful temper.

He was late for a

dinner party and discovered

that the children had drawn

a map of Never Land on his dinner jacket.

He scolded his daughter

Wendy, “Of all the childish

fiddle-faddle!

Never Land indeed!”

“You’re getting too old

for the nursery,

young lady!

From tomorrow onwards,

there’ll be no more

of these

Peter Pan stories,”

Not long after,

a silhouette

emerged at the window.

It was Peter Pan

with his little pixie,

Tinker Bell.

Peter Pan had

come in search

of his shadow and

saw it flying

around the nursery.

He chased it near the

sleeping children

making

enough noise

to wake up Wendy.

“Why, it’s Peter Pan!”

she cried.

“Let me sew on your

shadow for you.”

While she did that

Peter Pan played

his flute and told

her all about Never Land,

where children never

have to grow up.

Wendy’s little brother,

Michael and John

woke up to the

sound of strange music.

Peter Pan was

testing his new shadow.

“Now, we’re ready

to go to Never Land!”

he cried.

“But you must first learn to fly!”

Peter sprinkled them with pixie dust and

instantly he and Tinker Bell were off

with Wendy, Michael and John.

After a long flight

they arrived in

sight of Never Land.

They gazed at the

Mermaid Lagoon

and the Indian camp

and Captain Hook

and his pirate ship

the Jolly Roger.

“Yes, it’s just like

I have always imagined,”

sighed Wendy

as they sat on a

cloud and dreamily

looked down at the

spectacular view below.

Now his mate, Smee,

was trying to wave off

the crocodile while Hook

Shook with fear.

Just then, Captain Hook

spotted Peter Pan.

“Prepare for action!”

he shouted to his crew.

“Tink,” said Peter,

“take Wendy and

the boys to the island.

I’ll deal with

Captain Hook.”

The pixie led

Wendy toward

Peter Pan’s hideout

in a hollow tree.

The boys went to

see the Indians and

marched off with

the Lost Boys.

But the Indians captured them.

The Indian chief bellowed.

“Where is Princess Tiger Lily?

If Tiger Lily not back by

sunset, you burn

at the stake!”

The children prayed

that Peter Pan would

come and save them.

Meanwhile, Peter Pan

was showing Wendy the

Mermaid Lagoon.

The lovely mermaids

were sitting on rocks,

combing their hair.

They waved hello to Peter.

Wendy and Peter

waved back.

Suddenly, they heard

the oars of a rowing

boat splashing in the water.

Peter and Wendy

spied Captain Hook

and Smee in a boat

with a young Indian girl.

“Wendy, they’ve captured

Princess Tiger Lily!

We must rescue her!”

he cried.

Captain Hook was

threatening Tiger Lily

into telling him where

Peter Pan’s hiding-place was, but she refused.

Just then Peter Pan

leapt up to save Tiger Lily.

Hook drew his sword

but Peter was too nimble.

He pranced around

and dodged the sword.

Finally Peter Pan rescued

Tiger Lily,

leaving Captain Hook

and Smee desperately

rowing away with

the crocodile in hot pursuit.

Peter flew swiftly to

Indian camp to

return the little princess

to her father.

The Chief immediately

released the boys.

That night there was

a great celebration

in the Indian camp.

A fire was lit and

everyone danced

around it chanting

Indian war songs.

Tinker Bell, meanwhile,

she was feeling very lonely.

She was still lost in

her thoughts of

how she could get rid

of Wendy to have

Peter to herself,

when Smee crept up

behind and tapped her.

“Sorry, captain Hook’s

orders. He wants

to have a little talk

with you,” he said.

On the pirate ship,

Captain Hook smiled

at Tinker Bell and said,

“I’ll help you to get rid of

Wendy if you tell me

where Peter Pan’s

hideout is.”

“Tinker Bell wanted to

get rid of Wendy,

so she showed Hook

the hiding place

on the map – under

the Hangman’s Tree.

At the hideout,

Wendy was singing

a song that made

everyone think

of their homes.

They were all homesick –

except for Peter.

“If you go back,

you’ll grow up.

You can never return to

Never Land,” he said.

But the children took

their leave.

Little did they

know what lay ahead….

As the children

came out, they were

seized by the pirates.

Wendy was the last

one out – she hated

to leave Peter –

and to her horror,

she saw that the boys

had been captured!

She too was tied up

and taken to the ship.

On the ship, Hook

sent a package to

Peter’s hiding place.

He sneered to Smee,

“This bomb will blast him

out of Never Land forever!”

Tinker Bell, who had

been locked into

a lantern heard

his plan and realised

that she had

betrayed Peter Pan.

She hurled herself

against the lantern,

broke it and flew off

to save Peter Pan’s life.

Peter Pan had started

to unwrap the parcel

when Tinker Bell

snatched it away.

“BOOOOOM!” the bomb

exploded.

On the ship, Captain Hook

smiled and said,

“stay with us or you

will have to take a trip to

the bottom of the ocean,”

Wendy declared.

“I’d rather walk the plank.”

To Wendy’s relief,

Peter caught her as she

dropped down.

Tinker Bell had told him

about the captive children.

Peter Pan drew his

trigger and swooped down,

Hook couldn’t believe

his enemy was still alive.

“Peter Pan! It…

it can’t be!”

he stammered.

A battle raged on

the Jolly Roger.

Tinker Bell had

released the boys.

Wendy started pelting

the pirates with stones.

On the dock, Peter Pan fought with Captain Hook

till Hook lost his balance and fell into the water right

down into hungry crocodile's waiting jaws.

Then Peter Pan asked

Tinker Bell to cover the

Jolly Roger with pixie dust.

The ship transformed

itself into a golden galleon

and soared towards London.

It was time to say

goodbye to Peter Pan…

Back in London,

Mr. and Mrs. Darling

returned home

from the party.

“Peter Pan just brought

us back from Never Land!”

Wendy said.

Mrs. Darling cried.

“Look up!”

They looked up and

saw a sparkling cloud in

the shape of a boat

crossing the

moon’s face.

“I have seen that ship

before.”

said Mr. Darling.

Long ago, when

I was quite young…”
