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.
Milt Kahl was not very excited about his assignment for
"Peter Pan." He had to animate both Peter Pan and Wendy Darling; two characters
that had to be handled like real human beings and therefore would be a great
challenge. “Peter was interesting in that you had to make him fly but after
that was over he became a chore,” said Kahl. "Peter Pan's" supervising
animator, Ron Clements, remembered that for years Milt Kahl resented the fact
that animator Frank Thomas was assigned the character of Captain Hook instead
of him. It is interesting to note that Peter Pan is one of the most interesting
male protagonists of the early Walt Disney films because he is very heroic,
opinionated, and has a zeal for life. Kahl’s animation of him totally embraces
those characteristics as well as his great grace, expert timing, all combined
with a very appealing artistic design.
Bobby Driscoll was the first actor Walt Disney ever put under contract, and was cast to play the lead character in the 1946 film "Song of the South." The film would introduce live action into an extensive animation based film. The film was very successful and turned Driscoll, and his co-star Luana Patten, into overnight child stars! The pair were even discussed for a special Academy Award as the best child actors of the year. Driscoll went on to appear in a large number of specials and to star in some of The Walt Disney Company's most popular live-action pictures of that period, such as "So Dear to My Heart" in 1948, and in the role of Jim Hawkins in "Treasure Island" in 1950. This last role earned him a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. In 1953, he served as animation model and provided the voice for the title role in "Peter Pan," Driscoll's last major success. Driscoll was cast opposite Disney's "Little British Lady" Kathryn Beaumont, who was in the role of Wendy Darling.
Michael Darling is the youngest of the three Darling children and the brother of Wendy and John. Both Michael and John, having been told by Wendy, believe that Peter Pan is a real person; and they both act out make-believe battles between Peter Pan and his villain Captain Hook in the Darling nursery.
Michael was animated by master Walt Disney artist, Ward Kimball. The voice of Michael was provided by Walt Disney director Hamilton Luske's young son, Tommy. Tommy also provided the voice for a young pansy flower in "Alice In Wonderland." This cel occurs when Peter Pan offers to take Wendy to Never Land, but she wants Peter to take John and Michael as well. The dialog for the scene is below:
Peter Pan: "Well, come on, Wendy. Let's go."
Michael: "Where are we going?"
Wendy: "To Never Land."
Michael: "Never Land!"
Wendy: "Peter's taking us."
Peter Pan: "Us?"
Wendy: "Of course, I-I couldn't go without Michale and John."
John: "Oh, I should like very much to cross swords with some real buccaneers."
Michael: "Yes and fight pirates too."
Peter Pan: (CHUCKLING) "Well, all right, but you gotta take orders."
John: "Aye, aye, sir."
Michael: "Me Too."

This
is a very large and expressive cel of Michael Darling. He is full
figure, eyes and mouth open, and saluting to Peter Pan. This is one of
the nicest cels that I have
ever seen of Michael, and is an outstanding work that is perfect for any
animation art collection!
