RaiNews: Disney prepara una serie su Trilli, l'iconica fatina di Peter Pan
Lo studio sta pianificando da tempo di realizzare una versione aggiornata del classico personaggio creato originariamente dal romanziere e drammaturgo scozzese JM Barrie
Disney is developing a series about Tinker Bell, the iconic fairy from Peter Pan.
The studio has been planning for some time to create an updated version of the classic character originally created by Scottish novelist and playwright J.M. Barrie.
#TheAdmirableCrichton (1957) had rather a dissatisfying ending; but how else could one end it without including two world wars, and the concomitant societal upheavals, in the play? They hadn't even happened yet, when the play was written.
1950s audiences probably received it with a mixture of nostalgia and an unease that, half a century later, things wouldn't work out that way now.
It's even more uneasy, now that the play is over 120 years old. Fortunately for the movie, it's clearly a period piece even for 1957, let alone now. Land on an unpopulated South Seas island in the 1950s, and the major worry is that it turns out to be Bikini Atoll.
The location budget was spent in the right place, the writing is sharp, the island scenery pretty; and that a woman who can go hunting seems more modern than an aristocrat who needs a maid for everything probably says something.
By 1989, Nicole Kidman was in Dead Calm.

Peter knew that there was not a moment to lose.
“Come!” he cried imperiously, and soared out at once into the night, followed by John and Michael and Wendy.
Mr. and Mrs. Darling and Nana rushed into the nursery too late. The birds were flown.

Peter Pan kommt aus Schottland

Peter Pan’s fantastical life and adventures represents a dream world for many. But revisit [JM] Barrie’s stories, and readers will find that while he filled his works with wonder and magic, the author also relied on and spread racist tropes.
