Trivia: Walt Disney originally planned Peter Pan to be his second animated feature film after Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). However, it required four years of negotiations to finally obtain the rights. The studio began working on the story and character designs in 1939, but after the United States joined World War II in December 1941, the studio was made to make war propaganda films, and Peter Pan was among several projects to be put to one side.

Peter Pan mistake picture

Continuity mistake: After Wendy walks the plank and leaps, when we see Peter has saved her, her head is at Peter's right side as he flies off with her in his arms. But in the next shot, Wendy is being carried by Peter the opposite way, with her head now at Peter's left side. (01:07:10)

More quotes from Peter Pan

Chosen answer: He's too much of a bumbler and too cheery (for example when he tells the crew "good morning" and they wanted to know why it's so good.) They probably also see him as a fool and brown-noser since he's always trying to make Hook happy. To the crew he's just Hook's assistant and not a real pirate at heart.
