We don’t have to blink, but in Peter Pan and Wendy, the new adaptation of the Disney studios, the director David Lowery allowed himself an unusual plan.
This happens in the 28th minute of the movie, when Muche brings the Darling brothers to Captain Hook. The camera explores the hideous pirate’s lair and stops at a decorative element: pots in which rotting hands swim. This detail allows us to imagine that Peter Pan’s sworn enemy tried several times to restore the hand by removing the corpse.

The picture is short, of course, but it’s pretty rare to see such a clear plan at Disney, especially since the film is rated PG, which is the equivalent of a general audience in the United States. This choice is not so surprising when we delve into the inspiration of director David Lowry.
For his Peter Pan and Wendy, the filmmaker, who is used to independent films for adults, cites Andrei Tarkovsky’s The Mirror, Peter Weir’s Master and Commander or Martin Scorsese’s Gangs of New York for Captain Hook’s appearance. that of Daniel Day-Lewis. You can also find horror movies among its inspirations, such as Bernard Rose’s Candyman, in its rusty walnut design.
Peter Pan and Wendy is available on Disney+.
