Peter Pan

“i do believe in fairies. i do, i do.” this was always my go-to movie to watch when i was sick as a kid, so it was an obvious choice to watch today as i’m currently sick. my nostalgia for this film is the main thing carrying my four-star rating as i feel like it doesn’t exactly hold up as great as other childhood classics of mine. but i still do really enjoy it, and i don’t think it’s totally bad for its time. i never realized that Wendy’s father and Captain Hook are played by the same actor. i don’t know why that didn’t occur to me, considering i must’ve watched this upwards of 20 times in my life. you know how people say that they loved Peter growing up? i think i wanted to be Peter. he was like peak gender envy for my young unknowingly queer self. oh, and i loved pirate stuff growing up and still felt myself get hyped watching that final fight scene between the kids and the pirates. i love the choreography that goes into scenes like that. i will say that i associate Tinkerbell with being a bitch because of this movie. they released a new scrub top at Walmart with Tinkerbell on it and my immediate thought was “i’d get that but she’s was such a bitch to Wendy so nah”. this version of Tinkerbell is the only version i’m familiar with so that’s why haha. i’m sure she’s fine in other media. that’s all i can manage to write about this right now. if it doesn’t make sense it’s my sick brain haha
