Peter Pan
Peter Pan is the lead
character from Walt Disney's 1953 animated
classic 'Peter Pan.' He has been a staple in the
Walt Disney Company for years. He can be seen in
films such as 'Mickey's Magical Christmas:
Snowed in at the House of Mouse,' 'Return to
Never Land,' and he even had a cameo in 'The
Lion King 1 '.' As for TV shows he was mainly
seen in 'House of Mouse,' but recently has been
seen on the hit Disney Junior show 'Jake and the
Never Land Pirates.' Peter can be found in a
great list of Disney video games such as the
Kingdom Hearts series, Kinect Disneyland
Adventures, Disney's Villains Revenge, Disney
Universe, Return to Never Land, and Peter Pan:
Adventures in Never Land. He is such a well
known character that he can be found in other
merchandise such as books, food items, games,
artwork, toys, clothing, pins, and Vinylmations
to name a few.
He is the head of the Lost
Boys, and he hails from Never Land where there
is no growing up allowed. Peter has many friends
that help him with his adventures such as Wendy,
John, and Michael Darling, Tinker Bell, The Lost
Boys, Tiger Lily, Wendy's daughter Jane, and all
the Disney characters that want good. His
enemies include Captain Hook, the Pirate crew,
Mr. Smee, and the rest of the Disney villains.

purchase! :)
Peter is a very brave soul. He
helps people in need and loves having many
different adventures. His outfit is a sleek and
simple outfit but it really fits him well. He
wears a green shirt, with green tights, brown
shoes, a green hat with a red feather in it. His
weapon of choice is a small dagger and he
doesn't believe in guns. The coolest attribute
about Peter is that he can fly with just a
little pixie dust; let's be honest who wouldn't
want to be able to fly.
He was drawn by the fantastic
artist Milt Kahl who has animated a number of
different top characters. Milt was part of
Disney's Nine Old Men. Peter Pan has been voiced
by a few different people over the years such as
Bobby Driscoll, Chris Steele, Adam Wylie, and
Blayne Weaver.
*FUN FACT* 'The Second Star to
the Right' was written for the film 'Alice in
Wonderland' but Disney decided it would be
better suited for 'Peter Pan'.
Peter Pan can be found
throughout Disney parks and Disney Cruise Ships
around the world as a meet and greet character.
You can also find him in Fantasmic!, Peter Pan's
Flight (which by the way will be getting a
interactive queue in the sometime near future),
Dream Along With Mickey castle show, Mickey's
Soundsational Parade, Mickey's Philharmagic,
It's a Small World, Main Street Electrical
Parade, SpectroMagic Parade, Celebrate a Dreams
Come True Parade, Disney's Once Upon a Dream
Parade, and you can also find him during the
Halloween and Christmas parties at the Magic
Kingdom. He can also be seen during Disney on
Ice shows.
