Read more about Peter Pan (Peter Pan and the Pirates) at: Wikipedia Official Site: Twentieth Century Fox Peter Pan & the Pirates is an animated television series based on J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan that originally aired on Fox from September 1990 to December 1991. The series was brought back to Fox in re-run form on weekday afternoons from August 1996 - December 1998. It could then be found sporadically from 1998 - 2001 in the early morning hours between 4:30 AM and 6:30 AM. The TV show focuses as much on the pirates as it does on Peter Pan. Captain Hook and Mr. Smee traditionally are the only pirates who receive any attention in the story, but here, the other crew members of the Jolly Roger (Robert Mullins, Alf Mason, Gentleman Jim Starkey, Billy Jukes, and Cookson) are given distinct personalities and character development. A real force to be reckoned with, Hook is a powerful, temperamental, cultured, intelligent, and charming pirate with an insatiable thirst for vengeance. Some attention was also given to the Native American characters (no longer called Redskins). They and their customs were often featured in the storyline. One episode featured Wendy's daughter Jane (who appears at the end of the original play Peter Pan and at the end of the original book Peter and Wendy). Jane, from the future, visits the Neverland. At the end of the episode, Wendy is a little sad because she knows that this visit from her daughter means that one day Wendy will leave the Neverland and grow up. |
