...I didn't like to a movie.<br />I linked to a book.<br />Jeremy Sumpter read it, that's why he's on there.<br /><br />Also, the Barry/Pearson books are not a retelling. They are billed as a prequel to the story - therefore they can't go changing facts. (And yes, even though it's fiction, they ARE facts in/to the story!)<br />Here's a list of the differences. One or two 'mistakes' are appalling, but THIS:<br /><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_and_the_Starcatchers#Differences_from_the_works_of_Barrie" rel="nofollow">List of Differences </a><br /><br />Do check out the book I linked to... :)<br /><br />[still] BELIEVE!The Never Fairynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168523140288388702.post-1023942111727421672010-02-12T12:34:15.822-06:002010-02-12T12:34:15.822-06:00Interesting points you have made Never Fairy, to b...Interesting points you have made Never Fairy, to be honest, I never read Barrie's original tale, I only learned to love Peter Pan as I said through the Mary Martin play version. I will however, correct that.I have seen the movie you linked to and while I did like this too, again the play still holds that childhood magic good, bad, or indifferent. Somehow I do think a retelling doesn't necessary have to be totally true to the original or what is the use of the retelling?<br /><br />Thanks for posting and keeping me on my toes.Jan von Harzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01911676835023825470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168523140288388702.post-4638104171605170042010-02-12T12:31:49.348-06:002010-02-12T12:31:49.348-06:00These sound fascinating.

Plus, there are TONS of mistakes as per Barrie's original stories. They even change the reason he doesn't grow up!! How they can have such disrespect for a fellow author's work is just crazy.<br />(And if it's just a prequel to Disney's version they seem to go against that, too.)<br /><br />There is a Peter Pan adventure that's faithful and based on Barrie's own idea for more...

From your review I may have to give it a try, I might find I like the Peter Pan myth this time around.
