The story
Wendy Darling loves to tell stories to her brothers, Michael and John. But when her father announces she must move out of the nursery, Peter Pan comes to visit the children and whisks them away to Never Land. Their adventure introduces them to the Lost Boys, Mermaids, Indians and even the infamous pirate, Captain Hook. Based on the Disney film and J.M. Barrie’s enchanting play, ‘Disney’s Peter Pan, Jr.’ is a modern version of the timeless tale about a boy who wouldn’t grow up.
