"Peter Pan & Wendy," Disney's latest live-action riff on a classic, is a new interpretation of the classic "Peter Pan" tale. In J.M., the first center stage has been seated. Peter Pan's 1904 stage play, as well as the magical land of Neverland, has captured imaginations from around the world. Several films, plays, and books have been inspired by the whimsical tale with a hint of mystery throughout the years, each with a slightly different spin on the Boy Who Never Grew Up. Here's a look at all of the best film adaptations and how they each created the Neverland mythos their own. This silent film adaptation of "Peter Pan" starring Betty Bronson, Ernest Torrence as Captain Hook, Mary Brian as Wendy Darling, and Virginia Brown Faire as Tinker Bell was the first authorized movie adaptation of "Peter Pan." J.M. Barrie worked on a screenplay for this one, but the dialogue on screen came from Barrie's old stage play instead.
