<h3>The birth of Peter Pan in 1911</h3>
The birth of Peter Pan was an accidental but tempered process. Scottish writer James Matthew Barrie stumbled one day in Kensington Park overhearing children playing, building houses out of branches, making cakes in mud, playing fairies and pirates.
This scene inspired him to start creating a fairytale drama about Peter Pan, a mischievous boy who can fly. The play began in 1904, was first released as a novel in 1911, and was finalized in 1928 with great success.
In the story, Peter Pan seduces Mr. Darling's three children, Wendy Darling, and two younger brothers, into Neverland to fight against Tinker Bell and the Lost Boys against pirates led by Captain Hook.
At the end, Wendy and her brother return to the garden, while Peter Pan, who never grew up, continues to search for children and fly to Neverland for a wonderful childhood. Since the birth of the image of Peter Pan, it has been adapted into many cartoons, television, movies, etc., and the boom has endured for a long time, and has become a super IP created by Western local creations.

Now, there are very few records about this silent film, but under the filming conditions at that time, Paramount dared to show such a dreamy story in the theater in the form of a silent film, which shows that this story is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Since then, Peter Pan and his Neverland have become a place that countless childlike people yearn for. In 1988, Michael Jackson, the king of pop, bought a mansion on 2,800 acres, free to children, called Neverland.
<h3>First animated film in 1953</h3>
In 1953, the Walt Disney Company made its first animated film, Peter Pan.

Who knows, Captain Hooke actually came back and kidnapped his child! In order to save the child, he must transform into Peter Pan and return to the Dream Kingdom to re-engage Captain Hook. The film has received many nominations for the Oscar for Best Art Direction, Costume Design, Visual Effects, etc., and although Robin Williams' 40-year-old Peter Pan is slightly contradictory, it has to be admitted to being a work of emotion.
