I am a Peter Pan fan. From the books to the animated movie, I am a fan. The first time I went to London, I asked my dad to bring me to Big Ben. Why? Because of Peter Pan. And I cried. I was the weirdo 18yr old crying while looking up at the Clock tower. And for the past three years, this 46-year-old has been walking around, wearing a Peter Pan Loungefly backpack as my daily bag.Faith, hope, and trust…and a little bit of pixie dust.
Now that we’ve established my utter love for Pan and the gang, here are my honest thoughts about the latest installment Tink, unlike the animated movie version, has lost her jealousy and is more like the nice personality of the Tinkerbell animated series. There was a loss of the tension that was so palpable in the cartoon. Peter takes a backseat to Wendy, who is the powerhouse of the show. Where before, Wendy was the heart of the story and Peter was the muscle— things have reversed in Neverland.
