Peter ❌️

(Overdone, no one has anything new to say)

Hook ❌️

(Been there done that, he's fun but shallow)

Tinkerbelle 😉

(Disney I am begging you to make more movies could be interesting, most interpretations of her character don't get center focus.)

Literally any side character ⭕️

(Lots of room to explore! Pirates! Lost boys! Neverland locals! You don't see this much, and likely because it requires a lot of narrative skill to make work...)

Wendy ✅️

More Peter and Wendy sketches because younger me is having a blast

They say we all grow, death and taxes ect. But that's not true we all grow older yes, but I don't feel the weight of losing faith with your hand in mine.

After all love keeps you young and a kiss can save your life. So I won't grow up, I'll play and run and dance in the rain as long as I hold your heart in my hands I'll never grow old, and we'll never die.

So yes, I believe in fairies and mermaids in the deep, I believe that the ticking clock of death haunts those who should have died. I believe that your kiss could protect me from harm no matter where we may roam.

Recently I watched Peter Pan and Wendy then next day I watched Inside Out 2, both for the first time. Both of the movies spoke to me a lot because of my stage in life. I found them to have some similarities and that they compliment each other very well.

These are things I noticed:

They both deal with growing up. Each focuses on different facets of it. Peter Pan and Wendy is about imagination and not being afraid of growing up. Inside Out 2 is about the emotions and mental state when getting older.

Both point out the importance of Joy. The two movies point out that Joy is integral to growing up. And not just unconsciously, but also actively looking for it. “Happy thoughts.” “Joy, Riley wants you.”

Accepting the whole of who you are. In Peter Pan and Wendy, they wanted to never grow old, and stay where they were in life. Wendy learns to accept her growth, and look forward to all she will do. In Inside Out 2, the emotions wanted to pick and choose what Riley was, but they learned to accept all of who she was, in turn helping Riley accept that too.
