Based on J.M. Barrie‘s original novel and Disney’s 1953 animated film, “Peter Pan & Wendy” follows Wendy Darling to Never Land, where Peter Pan faces off against Captain Hook and his pirate cohorts.
Here’s an official synopsis of the movie, courtesy of Disney:
Peter Pan & Wendy introduces Wendy Darling, a young girl afraid to leave her childhood home behind, who meets Peter Pan, a boy who refuses to grow up. Alongside her brothers and a tiny fairy, Tinker Bell, she travels with Peter to the magical world of Never Land. There, she encounters an evil pirate captain, Captain Hook, and embarks on a thrilling and dangerous adventure that will change her life forever.
