I be glance at the other review and notice some reviewer wonder what become of the missing scene in which the audience be ask if they believe in faerie . the fact of the matter be this scene , which be vital to the original play , be purposely omit by Walt Disney be he animated version . in fact , when the Disney version appear in 1953 , many reviewer who be great fan of the Barrie play complain about this , among they , Bosley Crowther , film critic for the New York Times , and Herbert Brenon , a british director who make a very popular silent film version of Peter Pan in 1925 . why would Disney do this ? Crowther speculate that Disney assume that Americans be more literal mind in 1953 than they british counterpart be in 1904 -lrb- when the play be first stage -rrb- , and so would not buy into all that faerie stuff . also , Crowther sardonically add that perhaps Disney be afraid that Americans would find it simply too embarrassing to deal with too much `` pixiness . '' go figure . anyway , that be the story behind the missing scene .
