But with Tinkerbell's help, 20 00:01:40,900 --> 00:01:45,900 Captain Hook's plan failed and Peter Pan had saved the Darling siblings. 21 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:53,100 The fairies helped to fly Captain Hook's ship to safely bring the siblings back to their parents. 22 00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:57,600 However, in the book that we'll discuss, you'll notice the big difference 23 00:01:57,700 --> 00:02:02,400 and surely, you'll be shocked with Peter Pan's real side of his character. 24 00:02:02,500 --> 00:02:09,600 This book was formerly a stage play in 1904 entitled "The Boy Who Would Never Grow Up" 25 00:02:09,700 --> 00:02:11,700 written by J.M. Barrie. (Mr. James Matthew Barrie) 26 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,900 And this is how the story started... 27 00:02:15,300 --> 00:02:21,800 The story in the book also began by introducing Wendy's character and her siblings. 28 00:02:21,900 --> 00:02:27,200 These siblings always hear bedtime stories from their mother. 29 00:02:27,300 --> 00:02:30,300 Meanwhile, Peter Pan was secretly eavesdropping, also listening to the story. 30 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:38,900 Peter had a chance to talk to Wendy and learned that she knows a lot of bedtime stories. 31 00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:47,600 Peter thought that because Wendy knows a lot of stories, perhaps she could become the mother of the lost boys. 32 00:02:47,700 --> 00:02:52,500 Wendy accepted Peter's invitation and they also brought her two siblings. 33 00:02:52,600 --> 00:02:58,100 After Wendy agreed, Peter Pan immediately flew them to Neverland. 34 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:05,900 They had a long journey and Wendy found it obnoxious that Peter is so forgetful. 35 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:13,000 There were moments in their journey that Peter will suddenly forgets like he doesn't know them at all 36 00:03:13,100 --> 00:03:19,400 that they to introduce themselves again and again and Wendy was annoyed by it. 37 00:03:19,500 --> 00:03:24,900 And when they reached the island of Neverland, the lost boy welcomed Wendy in an unpleasant way. 38 00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:30,800 But they immediately cope up for their wrongdoings and made a home they called "The Wendy's House". 39 00:03:30,900 --> 00:03:37,000 While Wendy was resting, her siblings felt at home and happily interacted with the lost boys. 40 00:03:37,100 --> 00:03:41,500 Peter brought Wendy to his and the lost boy's home. 41 00:03:41,600 --> 00:03:45,600 Wendy immediately did her role of being a mother to the lost boys. 42 00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:50,500 The Darling siblings joined Peter to a lot of adventures. 43 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:56,000 And while they were with Peter, they discovered a lot of scary things about him. 44 00:03:56,100 --> 00:04:02,800 One of it was when Peter told them that the Lost Boys were kids who got lost from their parents 45 00:04:02,900 --> 00:04:07,400 in a public park in London called as Kensington Gardens. 46 00:04:07,500 --> 00:04:12,300 If we're going to think about it, perhaps Peter Pan reached out to these kids like 47 00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:15,200 how he persuaded Wendy and her siblings. 48 00:04:15,300 --> 00:04:19,500 Peter said that they convinced them to come to a Magical world 49 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:23,500 where they can do whatever they want without someone prohibiting them. 50 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:26,400 Here's where this story gets odd... 51 00:04:26,500 --> 00:04:35,400 If we are to analyze Peter's character in this book, we can say that he is a child predator targetting innocent kids. 52 00:04:35,500 --> 00:04:42,200 It was mentioned in the book that he killed some kids from the lost boys so they won't increase in number. 53 00:04:42,300 --> 00:04:50,800 It was also mentioned that when Peter notices that some of the lost boys were growing old, he'll kill them. 54 00:04:50,900 --> 00:04:54,000 The question is, you were supposed to stop aging at Neverland, right? 55 00:04:54,100 --> 00:05:00,700 The answer stated in the book: there were some who came to Neverland that got unlucky and didn't stop growing up. 56 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:08,400 Another weird thing in this book is when some of the lost boys grew taller, Peter cuts some body parts 57 00:05:08,500 --> 00:05:11,700 just so they could still fit in the tree house which was their hideout. 58 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:19,000 Sometimes, he just feeds them anything because he doesn't know what's proper to eat. 59 00:05:19,100 --> 00:05:23,900 The real Peter Pan can't play the role of a parent to them. 60 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:27,200 The next scene in the book is similar to the film. 61 00:05:27,300 --> 00:05:31,800 The mermaids in their lagoon hates Wendy and the other kids, 62 00:05:31,900 --> 00:05:36,400 and Captain Hook kidnapped the Indian's daughter named Tiger Lily. 63 00:05:36,500 --> 00:05:40,800 Captain Hook wanted to know where was Peter Pan's hideout, 64 00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:43,500 but Tiger Lily chose not to answer him. 65 00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:48,200 Captain Hook planned to drop her at the sea but Peter had saved her. 66 00:05:48,300 --> 00:05:52,400 In the next scene, Peter Pan and Captain Hook finally fought each other. 67 00:05:52,500 --> 00:05:59,300 Captain Hook managed to wound up Peter but Peter still succeeded in saving Tiger Lily and they got back to their camp. 68 00:05:59,400 --> 00:06:02,800 He was called a Hero by everyone and as a gift of gratitude from the Indians, 69 00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:06,500 they offered to guard Peter Pan's hideout. 70 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,900 At this point, Wendy was falling in love with Peter. 71 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000 However, when Wendy asked Peter Pan about how he thinks of her, 72 00:06:14,100 --> 00:06:20,000 he answered that he only sees Wendy as a mother and nothing more. 73 00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:25,100 Because of this, Wendy remembered her parents and thought that they must be 74 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,400 very worried as the Darling siblings were lost for several days already. 75 00:06:29,500 --> 00:06:33,200 Because of it, Wendy thought that they had to go home 76 00:06:33,300 --> 00:06:37,200 and she wanted to invite the lost boys to come with them. 77 00:06:37,300 --> 00:06:41,000 Everyone agreed besides Peter Pan. 78 00:06:41,100 --> 00:06:46,700 Even so, they have finally decided to leave. 79 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:52,200 Unfortunately, before they had left, they were kidnapped by the pirates. 80 00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:58,000 And when Peter knew what happened, he immediately saved the Darling siblings and The Lost Boys. 81 00:06:58,100 --> 00:07:02,700 They had an extreme fight but Peter's group still won. 82 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:08,100 Meanwhile, Captain Hook was killed after Peter had pushed him to a huge crocodile. 83 00:07:08,200 --> 00:07:14,200 The fairies helped to fly the ship and they used it to travel back to London. 84 00:07:14,300 --> 00:07:22,000 Peter still won't let go of Wendy so he decided to fly fast to get to Wendy's home first. 85 00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:29,200 Peter thought of putting wood logs at the window so Wendy would think that they weren't awaited by their parents. 86 00:07:29,300 --> 00:07:34,800 But while Peter was doing it, he saw how sad Wendy's parents 87 00:07:34,900 --> 00:07:39,400 for they've been lost for so long and they were missing their kids. 88 00:07:39,500 --> 00:07:44,000 Because of this, Peter decided to stop his plans. 89 00:07:44,100 --> 00:07:50,600 The ending was happy. The Darling family were joyful again together with adopting the lost boys. 90 00:07:50,700 --> 00:07:54,800 Peter still don't want to grow up so he chose to stay at Neverland. 91 00:07:54,900 --> 00:08:00,400 He had a deal with Wendy to visit them every spring, however, 92 00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:06,700 Peter had no idea about seasons. So after Wendy's visit to neverland, 93 00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:10,400 Peter Pan had totally forgot about them for 25 years. 94 00:08:10,500 --> 00:08:13,500 When Peter visited Wendy again, she had already grown and was an adult. 95 00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:21,200 So he had another deal with her, once every year, he has to be visited by Jane, Wendy's daughter. 96 00:08:21,300 --> 00:08:27,100 And when Jane grew old and had a daughter named Margareth, she'll be the one to visit Peter. 97 00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:29,800 That's where Peter Pan's story ends... 98 00:08:29,900 --> 00:08:32,300 But we're still not done with this. 99 00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:37,700 Let's discuss J.M. Barrie's inspiration in writing the book. 100 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:43,200 In his addiction of youth, which was believed to begin in 1867. 101 00:08:43,300 --> 00:08:50,100 When he was only 6 years old, his sibling named David died 2 days before he turns 14. 102 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:53,600 David was their mother's favorite from the 8 siblings. 103 00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:59,700 And their mother believes that her late son will remain as an innocent child forever. 104 00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:04,200 And here's how Barrie's amusement of young boys began. 105 00:09:04,300 --> 00:09:09,900 After 30 years, in 1898, while J.M. Barrie was at Kensington Gardens 106 00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:19,500 he met George and John Davies, a 4 and 5 year old kids walking at the park with their nannies. 107 00:09:19,600 --> 00:09:23,400 They got close and J.M. even got to know the kids' parents 108 00:09:23,500 --> 00:09:27,200 and their other siblings: Peter, Michael, and Nicholas. 109 00:09:27,300 --> 00:09:33,300 He got super close to the family that the kids call him Uncle J.M. 110 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:36,900 According to researchers, they found a note from James 111 00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,300 that he gave to Michael in his birthday. 112 00:09:39,400 --> 00:09:42,700 Michael was JM's favorite among the Davies siblings. 113 00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:50,000 According to the letter, JM stated that he likes Michael and he must never tell it to anyone. 114 00:09:50,100 --> 00:09:55,400 And these type of letters is inappropriate for an 8-year old kid. 115 00:09:55,500 --> 00:10:02,100 The parents of the siblings died in a diseases so he adopted the kids and raised them. 116 00:10:02,200 --> 00:10:06,800 A lot of accusations were pointed at JM because of his life events. 117 00:10:06,900 --> 00:10:13,000 But we weren't sure about his real intentions and fixations towards innocent kids. 118 00:10:13,100 --> 00:10:18,800 Despite all of this, he did a great deed before he died in 1937. 119 00:10:18,900 --> 00:10:24,000 He left all the copyrights of his Peter Pan works in a children's hospital in London. 120 00:10:24,100 --> 00:10:27,700 Up to the present, the hospital still benefits from this copyright ownership. 121 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,200 So, here's where this video ends. 122 00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:33,400 If you're into dark stories of Disney classics, 123 00:10:33,500 --> 00:10:36,800 I'll drop some playlists that you might also be interested. (It's on the screen!) 124 00:10:36,900 --> 00:10:41,700 Once again, thank you so much and now taking a leave, Dokumentador. 125 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:53,000 (See you again!)
