What happens

Peter Pan & Wendy is a 2023 American fantasy adventure film based on the 1911 novel Peter Pan and Wendy by J. M. Barrie, and serves as a live action adaptation of Walt Disney's 1953 film Peter Pan. Produced by Walt Disney Pictures and Whitaker Entertainment, the film was directed by David Lowery from a screenplay he co-wrote with Toby Halbrooks. Alexander Molony and Ever Anderson star in the title roles, Peter Pan and Wendy Darling respectively. Jude Law, Yara Shahidi, Alyssa Wapanatâhk, Joshua Pickering, Jacobi Jupe and Jim Gaffigan also appear in supporting roles. The story follows Peter Pan and Wendy, who go to the magical world of Neverland with Wendy's brothers and Peter's best friend Tinker Bell. Along the way, Wendy embarks on the adventure that will change her life and encounters Peter's archenemy Captain Hook. Development on a live-action Peter Pan film began on April 13, 2016, with Lowery directing. Lowery was announced as writing the film with Halbrooks, while the production team expanded the next four years due to work in the remake's script. The film's title was announced on January 7, 2020. Production was expected to begin in April 2020 and wrap in August that year but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming ultimately began in March 2021 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Shooting also occurred on the Bonavista Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador, in August 2021, and in the Faroe Islands as well as the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. Peter Pan & Wendy premiered on Disney+ on April 28, 2023. The film received mixed reviews from critics. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
