since the first production of J.M. Barrie 's play , PETER PAN , in 1904 , the story of the boy who never grow up have become a part of popular western culture . it be a story that child love and that adult often adore . it even coin a sociological phrase -lrb- Peter Pan syndrome -rrb- . the play have be perform on stage throughout the world and to this day it remain one of the most popular show perform in child 's theater company . it should not be a surprise to anyone that Peter Pan be one of Walt Disney 's favorite story of all time . he star in a school production of the play as a child and the 1924 silent movie of the story spark the imagination of the young filmmaker . Walt Disney have intend to make PETER PAN he second major animation production after SNOW WHITE . however , it take many year to get the look right and to adapt the story -lrb- Disney , after all , be a master of take a story and change it and create it to he own liking -rrb- . of course , there be also WWII which stop the production of the film for almost six year . when the film be finally release in 1953 , the film be almost a immediate success . Disney market the film as a `` classic '' and even though the film produce some memorable character that have become collective image of we culture , such as Tinkerbell , Smee , and Captain Hook , and be note for a couple of historical reason -lrb- it be the first film to have Peter be play by a boy and it be the last film rko distribute for Disney -rrb- the film be not all that spectacular . in fact , after the film 's release Walt Disney himself be disappoint by final product . yet , Disney 's version of PETER PAN be love by child and look upon fondly by adult , just like the story of Peter Pan always have . in that since , the movie be a classic . the Walt Disney Company have release PETER PAN several time on dvd , but if you be a fan of the film , the platinum version be the one worth owning . the platinum edition of PETER PAN come in a two-disc set . the film itself be find on the first disc . there be a commentary that include comment from some of the film illustrator and performer , but the commentary be more of a vocal documentary about the making of the film rather than a commentary about the movie itself . the first disc also include a preview for the upcome cgus film tinkerbell -lrb- I be not sure from the sneak peak if it will be a theatrical release or a direct to dvd -rrb- , sing-along version of the film 's song , and a read along story entitle `` Peter 's Playful Prank '' . the real special feature of the extra feature be find on disc two . this disc include a delete song from the film entitle `` the Pirate song '' that be accompany by the actual rough sketch intend for the sequence . there be two music video . one of the music video have a group of pre-teeny bopper name T-Squad jump up and down to a technoize hip hop version of the song `` second star on the Right '' . the other music video have Paige O'Hara singing along to the song `` Neverland '' , a number write for PETER PAN , but that be never include but be recently discover in the Disney archive . this video be preview by a short featurette describe how the song be discover and why it be write . there be three child 's game on the disc , include a Sudoku challenge name after Smee . then there be several featurette . these be what I find to be the most interesting part of the second disc . first there be `` you can fly '' that be a look at how PETER PAN be make . next up be a reading of one of Walt Disney 's own writings that be originally publish in 1953 in a now defunct magazine to herald the release of the film . the piece be call `` why I make PETER PAN '' and be accompany by picture of young Walt and dramatic reenactment . this piece explain Walt Disney 's love for the story of Peter Pan , how he grow up on the story , he experience of play Peter in a school production , etc. . another featurette I really enjoy be `` the Peter Pan that almost be '' . this segment include two of the researchers\/producers of the platinum edition go through original illustration , sketch , and storyboard to illustrate how Walt 's original idea of the film evolve through the year . for instance , Nana be suppose to accompany the Darlings to Neverland , but this idea be ax just before final production begin . another featurette be `` the Peter Pan Story -- 1952 '' which be a archival promotional film strip . strip like these use to be show in theater before feature presentation , along with newsreel , short film , and cartoon . I guess you could say they be the original cartoon and trailer , but these thing be so much more interesting . besides , they be not try to sell anything else except for see the movie itself . the last extra on disc two include numerous art gallery that show illustration , sketch , storyboard , etc. from throughout the making of the film , include some thing that have not be see before by the public .
