Disney's 'Peter Pan & Wendy' Aims to Fix Racism and Sexism of Original Animated Film

The new live-action film offers diverse casting and more nuanced portrayals of characters to address issues in the original movie.
Wendy and a revised Tiger Lily have more agency and skill in fighting Captain Hook.
The film draws influences from "Candyman," "Gangs of New York," and "Raising Arizona" in reimagining the story.
Reviews praise the film for tackling stereotypes and improving problematic elements of the original while retaining the spirit of the tale.
Though intended for Disney+, the film's high quality merits a theatrical release.
