Peter Pan
Neverland is a visit. The nursery is the choice. Wendy is right.
Peter is brave and he is a permanent child, which the film finds charming and Wendy, by the end, finds insufficient. She wants a story and a mother and then she wants to be the mother. That turn is the moral, and it is older than the Disney paint. Hook is a villain. The boys are lost. Wendy goes home and her father, who had been ridiculous about the nursery, is at the window.
Watch it. Then do not let anyone in the house use 'never grow up' as wisdom. The wisdom is that she left.
The eight
Industry
3/10
Play as a life. Wendy notices it does not feed a nursery.
Household
8/10
The ending is a return to parents, and her own future as a mother.
Piety
3/10
Wonder, and a boy who treats wonder as a refusal of duty.
Courage
6/10
She is brave in the lagoon. The braver act is leaving.
Republic
4/10
A ship of children with no law.
Temperance
6/10
Peter's refusal to grow is the excess, and the film lets her outgrow it.
Truth
7/10
Neverland is not home. The film admits it.
Stewardship
8/10
She chooses the children she will one day have over the boy who will not.
Live historicallyDo not flatter a child for refusing the next age. Walk them toward it.
