Peter Pan

All children, except one, grow up. In the Darling nursery, Wendy, John, and Michael are cared for by their nurse, a prim Newfoundland dog named Nana, while their mother tidies their minds at night and discovers the name Peter scrawled there. One evening, the boy Peter Pan bursts through the window, leaving his shadow behind. Soon the children are swept away to the Neverland, a compact island of mermaids, fairies, pirates, and dangerous adventures, where Peter leads them through encounters with the villainous Captain Hook. This classic tale explores the bittersweet boundary between childhood and growing up, following the Darling children as they navigate the magical and perilous world of the Neverland.
