Assessing the Success of Disney's 'Peter Pan and Wendy' Remake.
Disney's live-action remake of "Peter Pan & Wendy" updates the classic story by making Captain Hook a tragic figure, giving Wendy a fleshed-out arc, including girls and boys of different races in the Lost Kids group, making Tinker Bell kinder and more supportive, and creating a "corrective" version of Tiger Lily with the help of Native consultants and actress Alyssa Wapanatâhk. The Crocodile is also more menacing in the live-action version. The film stars Jude Law as Captain Hook and is directed by David Lowery.
