Clássico é clássico e merece
respeito. A história do menino que não queria crescer fez parte da minha
infância através do livro e mesmo da adaptação feita pela Disney.
O que eu acho interessante é
que ela faz tanto sentido para crianças como para adultos. As crianças querem
crescer para ficar tão altas quanto a irmã mais velha, poder dormir na casa da
prima e fazer aquela viagem com os amigos da escola. Mas na hora de ajudar a
mãe com tarefas da casa ou estudar pra prova bimestral, que criança que não
gostaria de fugir para um lugar onde as responsabilidades simplesmente não
existissem e a vida fosse uma grande aventura? E quem de nós nunca quis voltar
no tempo, voltar a ser criança e viver as “férias prolongadas” de Peter num
lugar como a Terra do Nunca?
Mas a gente sabe que amanhã
estaremos um pouco mais velhos, um pouco menos crianças. E como seria se Peter saísse
de seu mundo encantado e começasse a ser menos criança a cada dia? Foi esta
pergunta que o filho de James V. Hart fez a ele certo dia. E, ao invés de simplesmente
imaginar o que poderia acontecer, compartilhar com seu filho sua versão dos
fatos e deixar o assunto morrer, o escritor desenvolveu uma história inteira,
repleta de novas aventuras.
Ver Robin Williams
na tela já é motivo suficiente para sentar e assistir o que quer que seja, do
começo ao fim. Saber que, neste filme, ele é Peter Pan, que foi embora da Terra
do Nunca, cresceu, mas precisa voltar para resolver assuntos do passado, é
motivo em dobro para esperar bons momentos. Uma ótima oportunidade de ver um
adulto voltar a ser criança.

Curiosidade
The kissing couple who begin to float when some fairy dust lands on them are actually George Lucas and Carrie Fisher in a cameo.
When the Bannings fly to England, the pilot's voice is
that of Dustin
Hoffman (Captain Hook) - "This is your captain
speaking..."
While Peter is
on his cellphone, the children are running around him. Jack stands in front of
a light which makes his shadow grow large against the wall. The shadow is right
next to Peter while he is on the phone. This is a reference to Peter Pan and
his shadow.
In 1985,
composer John Williams and lyricist Leslie Bricusse worked on "Hook", being a stage musical,
but the project was scrapped after about ten songs were written. Only one song
from the play, "When You're Alone," made it to the film. However,
many of the play' themes can be heard in Williams' incidental music for the
film.
There were
frequent good-natured "battle of wits" exchanges between Williams and
Hoffman. In one incident, Hoffman was not happy with his performance and asked
for the scene to be re-shot. Williams quipped "Try acting": a
reference to the Hoffman / Laurence Olivier exchange on
the set of Maratona da Morte.
Because
Tinkerbell was often in the air, Julia Roberts had an assistant whose sole responsibility was
cleaning her feet.
When Tootles
floats out the window at the end, he says "Seize the Day", which has
significance for Robin Williams, who starred
in Seize the Day, and Sociedade dos Poetas Mortos (in which this was a catchphrase).
Dustin
Hoffman's three children make appearances in the movie. His
youngest son, Max Hoffman plays 5
year-old Peter Pan. His daughter, Rebecca Hoffman plays Jane in the play at the beginning of the movie,
and his oldest son, Jake Hoffman plays a
little league player in Jack's baseball game.
Writer James V. Hart credits the inspiration for his take on this
continuing Peter Pan story to his young son Jake who one day asked him what
would have happened if Peter Pan grew up.
The teddy bear
from Captain Hook's cabin was accidentally given to Julia Roberts by Steven Spielberg when she checked in to hospital for nervous
exhaustion. Spielberg realized his mistake the night before he was due to shoot
a scene in Hook's cabin, and the prop department had to rustle up a look-alike
in a matter of hours.
One of the pirates who attempts to steal Peter's shoes
when he first arrives in Neverland is played by singer Jimmy Buffett.
Steven
Spielberg admitted to being disappointed with final result of
the movie. He had such a hard time working with the rebellious crew of young
actors that he later said, only somewhat kiddingly, that the experience made
him wonder if he wanted to have any more kids. He also felt guilty that he
wasn't able to find an economical method to filming the many complex
human-flight sequences in the film.
Both Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams's stunt doubles were named Keith. When Steven Spielberg called for Keith to come to the set, both Keith's
showed up. Eventually, Hoffman's stunt double changed his name from Keith to
Keifo.
Robin
Williams's upper body and arms were shaved for his role in the
film.
The original "Peter Pan" included only six Lost Boys
(Slightly, Tootles, Nibs, Curly, and the unnamed Twins).The unnamed twins
appear in the imaginary food scene.
Jack was the name of one of the boys original author J.M. Barrie wrote Peter Pan for (and later became the adopted
father of). The five boys were George, Jack, Nicholas, Peter, and Michael
Davies.
In the film, Captain Hook's "hook" is where
his left hand was before a crocodile bit it off. In the play, "Peter and
Wendy", his hook is where his right hand used to be.
Kevin Kline was originally set to play Peter Pan, but had to drop
out of the film because of Segredos de uma Novela which was
having major re-shoots, re-writes and taking much longer than expected to
complete shooting.
Julia Roberts was nicknamed "Tinkerhell" because she was
difficult to deal with.
Steven
Spielberg originally asked Richard Attenborough to play Tootles. Attenborough declined, as he was
working on Chaplin at the time.
David Bowie turned down the role of Captain James Hook.
Tom Hanks was considered for the role of Peter Pan.
Rebecca De
Mornay was considered for the
role of Tinkerbell. Samantha Mathis was one of the actresses considered for the role of
Tinkerbell.
Peter clapping his hands to heal Tinker Bell was a
reference to the times when Peter Pan was performed on stage. Peter would ask
the audience to clap to heal Tink. In the Disney animated film, the clapping
was left out because Peter couldn't interact with audience and ask them to clap
for Tinker Bell.
After Peter Pan finds his kids kidnapped he is talking
with the inspectors, the main inspector is Phil Collins.
In the scene
where Hook enters Wendy's home to kidnap the children, just as Nana the dog is
shown. She can be heard barking before waking Toodles. It's possible to hear
Nana barking "woof! woof! hoof! hoof! HOOK!" To which Toodles then
awakes and starts to say Hook.
Dustin
Hoffman has appeared in two films about "Peter Pan"
(Hook: A Volta
do Capitão Gancho and Em Busca da Terra do Nunca). Following his appearance in "Hook", close
friend and former roommate Gene Hackman began calling
him "Hook" as a joke. The name stuck and his contemporaries call him
by that nickname to this day.
There are many references to the story of Peter Pan in
Wendy's house: In the nursery the window clasp is in the shape of Captain
Hook's hook; the wall boarders are painted scenes from the Peter Pan story; in
Toodles' room is a scale model of the Jolly Roger in a bottle; Wendy's brother
John's top hat and glasses; Wendy's youngest brother Michael's teddy bear.
When Granny Wendy is telling the children about the
story of Peter Pan, she is holding one of the original printings of the book.
It is a first edition version which is noticeable by the olive color, and the
gold gilt design on the front cover. The version was printed in 1911 as the
first novelization of Peter and Wendy.
Steven
Spielberg originally slated this film as a vehicle for Michael Jackson in 1983 after the latter expressed an interest in
starring in it and contributing to its soundtrack. Spielberg instead decided to
focus on Indiana Jones e o Templo da Perdição and shelved the project until 1989, when pre-production the film began.
Gwyneth
Paltrow's second film. She appears briefly, as the teen-aged
Wendy during the quick sequence as Wendy is growing up.
Maggie Smith, who played 92-year-old Granny Wendy, was only 57 at
the time the film was made.
The film originally had a shooting schedule of 76 days
and a budget of $48 million, but production took longer than expected. Thus,
the shooting schedule expanded to 116 days (40 days over the original), and the
budget rose from roughly $60 million to $80 million. Steven Spielberg blames himself for this, saying, "I began to
work at a slower pace than I usually do."
The shot in which the Captain's hook is fitted to his
arm for the first time had to be done in one take as the flicker effect was
achieved using rare, single use flash bulbs.
According to Frank Sanello's biography
"Spielberg," Nick Castle was
originally attached to direct the film, and had been developing the screenplay
for the film for a long time. Once Steven Spielberg expressed interest in being involved, the producers
(and possibly heads of the studio) quickly gave Nick Castle a six-figure
settlement, gross points and a "screen story" credit so that he could
step down and Spielberg could helm the production.
