About

Peter Pan is an adolescent boy who has escaped from his parents to the dreamland of Nowhere. Peter is determined to remain a little boy forever; because the adult world does not please him at all. Together with the fairy Tinkerbell, Peter Pan lures the girl Wendy and her two brothers John and Michael to Nowhere, where Peter teaches them to fly. They join forces with the Indians, led by the beautiful Tigerlilly, to fight together against the evil Captain Jack Haken and his wild pirates.
