"When did he first say 'Ugh'? Hana mana ganda. In the Injun book, it say when first brave married squaw he gave out with head big 'ugh' when he saw his mother-in-law." - The Indian Chief
The
author J. M. Barrie first used Peter Pan as a character in a section of
the adult novel "The Little White Bird" in 1902. He returned to that
character with his stage play entitled "Peter Pan, or The Boy Who
Wouldn't Grow Up," which premiered in London on December 27, 1904. The
play ran until 1913, and it was later adapted by Walt Disney for the
animated feature film entitled, "Peter Pan," in 1953.
The
Indian Chief is Tiger Lily's father and the leader of the Indians of
Neverland. He was voiced by Candy Candido, who was an American radio
performer, bass player, vocalist, and animation voice actor. He is best
remembered for his famous line, "I'm feeling mighty low." Candido voiced
many characters for Disney including: the Wolf's roars in "Peter and
the Wolf," one of Maleficent's goons in "Sleeping Beauty," Shere Khan's
roars in "The Jungle Book," the Captain of the Guard in "Robin Hood,"
Brutus and Nero in "The Rescuers," the deep voiced prisoner in the
Haunted Mansion attraction, Fidget the peg-legged bat and a Reprobate in
the Pub in "The Great Mouse Detective," and Bear growls (along with
Clarence Nash) in "The Fox and the Hound." The Indian Chief was animated
by veteran Walt Disney animator Ward Kimball.
From Walt Disney animator Andreas Deja (who animated Jafar):
"The
Indian Chief was Kimball's main contribution to the film. What
fantastic animation! So inventive (as usual). I remember thinking about
this character frequently when animating dialogue scenes with Jafar.
It's so much fun to come up with weird mouth shapes, as long as they
work with the dialogue reading and the character's personality."
In
the film when John Darling, Michael Darling, and the Lost Boys are out
hunting Indians; they end up being captured by them instead. They are
bound and taken to the Native Camp and brought before the Indian Chief.
He believes that they have kidnapped his daughter Tiger Lily (who was
actually kidnapped by Captain Hook and Mr. Smee), and he orders that
they be burned at the stake if Tiger Lily doesn't return home by sunset.
Fortunately, Peter Pan rescues Tiger Lily at Skull Rock and returns her
safely home, just in time. The Indian Chief sets the boys free and
makes them Honorary-Indians; he also names Peter Pan Chief Little Flying
Eagle.
The Indian Chief and an Indian chorus sing the song "What Made the Red Man Red?", which explains the following: Why does he ask you, "How?", When did he first say, "Ugh!", and What made the red man red? (The song is very controversial due to the racist stereotypes of Native Americans). This is a very rare original production animation cel of an Indian Girl from the part in the song: "When did he first say 'Ugh'? Hana mana ganda. In the Injun book, it say when first brave married squaw he gave out with head big 'ugh' when he saw his mother-in-law." This is a very large image of this rare character from song "What Made the Red Man Red?" A beautiful piece of vintage Walt Disney animation artwork from the classic full length feature film "Peter Pan!"
