Fantastic
Peter Pan counts with two types offantastic elements:Those that correspond to a situation that could occur,butare so improbable that they become unreal and those that present actions anddescriptions that are impossible as being totally normal.In the first categoryfall,for example,the scenes between the pirates and the Londoners.The children could,in fact,fight against pirates,but that is soimplausible that the whole scene completely belongs to the realm of fantasy.However,it is precisely this unlikelihood that assumes itself as the attractive element oftheir adventures.Therefore,it is totally understandable that John cries out:“I should like very much to crossswords with some real buccaneers” andMichael adds:“Yes,and fight pirates!”.Besides,when John has to think about“a wonderful thought” in order to be ableto fly,he says “I’ll think I’m in a pirate’s cave!” For the second group,the most obvious example is that of the children’s flight to Neverland.The fact that this hasbeen,for many centuries,a long-wishedbut completely vain human endeavor,flying remains one of children’s foremost dreams.Thus,the pixie dust presented by Peter Panpoints to the existence of a substance that,although not generally known (and that is why no onethat the young spectator actually knows can fly),permits its few possessors tochallenge the laws of gravity.In this respect,Disney filmmakers had a mostnotable work,because flying is one of the most difficult illusions to createin two-dimensionalanimation without the aid of computers.Most notable is also the work onshadows,with are today easily made in3D animation,but were particularly difficult to depict in the 1950s.
