All the Peter Pan movies, from "Hook" to "Peter Pan & Wendy"

Disney's latest live-action riff on a classic is "Peter Pan & Wendy," a new adaptation of the classic "Peter Pan" story. Ever since they took center stage in J.M. Barrie's 1904 play, Peter Pan and the Magical Neverland has captured the imagination of the world. The whimsical story with a hint of darkness has inspired numerous films, plays and books over the years, each with a slightly different take on the boy who never grew up. Here's a quick rundown of all the notable film adaptations and how they each appropriated the Neverland mythos.

The first authorized film adaptation of "Peter Pan" was this silent version, starring Betty Bronson as Peter Pan, Ernest Torrence as Captain Hook, Mary Brian as Wendy Darling, and Virginia Brown Faire as Tinker Bell.

Bobby Driscoll voiced Peter Pan, while Wendy was voiced by Kathryn Beaumont and Captain Hook by Hans Conried. With very little dialogue in the original piece, the animated feature is probably best known for its music, with songs like "You Can Fly" and "The Second Star to the Right." In 2002, Disney produced a sequel, "Return to Never Land," which takes a new generation of children into the magic of Neverland.

"Hook" (1991)

< p>The beloved live-action movie puts a different spin on the Peter Pan mythos. Peter Pan is now "Peter Banning", and he grew up (and played by Robin Williams), having forgotten all about Neverland. Now a father himself, Peter is sent back to the wizarding world when a vengeful Captain Hook (played by Dustin Hoffman) kidnaps Peter's children and takes them to Neverland.
