The wonderful story of Peter Pan is the subject of a lot of films. The first one and maybe the most famous is the cartoon produced by Walt Disney. More recently Steven Spielberg produced Hook, with the famous actor Dustin Hoffmann in the role of the cruel captain. The movie Finding N everland is a very original story, that talks about the characters of the story but also about Matthew Barrie. Title: Peter Pan Year: 1953 Director: Walt Disney Production: USA
