You know those live-action versions of Disney cartoons that worship at the font of the original and barely change a thing? Well, this ain’t that. The story deviates wildly from the 1953 cartoon classic (as well as J.M. Barrie’s practically perfect 1911 book, Peter and Wendy).
Cocky Peter (Alexander Molony, making his film debut) is forced to acknowledge he’s nothing without the strong women around him; Wendy (Ever Anderson) imagines her future at an Oxbridge college. Tinker Bell (Yara Shahidi) doesn’t like it when her opinions are mansplained and bilingual Tiger Lily (Alyssa Wapanatahk) is part of a clan with only female chiefs.
