Short Film: Peter Pan



This phenomenal short film re-envisions the origins of Peter Pan.  It's an adaptation of Régis Loisel's Peter Pan graphic novel, in which Peter escapes a Dickensian childhood to become champion of Neverland.   The results are beautiful, but the story feels like it was just getting started.  There's clearly more to Loisel's grown-up version of the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up to explore.
"Brought up by a tyrannical and alcoholic mother, Peter finds his salute only in the dreams and tales which frees his imagination. One night, after a violent quarrel with his mother, he takes refuge on the docks. There a small and attractive fairy who needs help will take him to the imaginary country. Thus begins the fabulous story of Peter, a child from the poor area of White-Chapel, who will later become Peter Pan. He will have to face the awful captain Hook in an everlasting fight for the treasure and survival of the island."
