Anecdotes
In real life, Michael Llewelyn Davies was J.M. Barrie's inspiration for Peter Pan. Michael, not Peter, was said to be Barrie's favorite of the children. It's not clear why Barrie chose to name the main character Peter. One idea is that his brothers and Peter behaved the most like an adult at a young age. Barrie wished he'd had more of a childhood, so he immortalized him as the symbol of youth.

Gaffes
When Peter is knocking over his set for his play, a man in a t-shirt, blue jeans and a baseball cap is reflected in the window.

Citations
J.M. Barrie: Young boys should never be sent to bed... they always wake up a day older.

Autres versions
Those wishing to duplicate their experience from the theatrical viewing of the film should beware: The film was released in two versions. One is the original release, with a runtime of 1h 46m (106 min), while the other has a length of 1h 41m (101 min), and is labeled the Encore Edition, or print. This latter was apparently only released for the United States, and is a "special edition." Besides being shorter than the original release, this version, released in 2005, contains some special features that are not available in the theatrical release, such as deleted scenes, outtakes, audio commentary, and a documentary about the making of the film, so it has compensatory facets the may more than make up for the lacking time. Copies of the original, 106-minute-long release can usually be distinguished by the label "multiformat," and may, depending on your hardware not be playable without special equipment.

The Wings of Imagination

The real J.M. Barrie was influenced and inspired as a child in Scotland by the adventurous stories of Robert Louis Stevenson of pirates, Indians and kidnapped boys. As a young journalist in London in the peak years of the Gilded Age his vivid imagination took him from novels to stage-plays.

Barrie loved games and founded a cricket club with fellow writers Arthur Conan Doyle and P.G. Wodehouse. An old nugget describing his personality tells of his comments upon himself and others that often appeared in the newspapers. He once remarked to H.G. Wells, "It is all very well to be able to write books, but can you wiggle your ears?" It was in the very early years of the 20th Century, now 101 years ago and the same year that in the windy Outer Banks of North Carolina that the Wright Brothers took flight that Jamie Barrie's Peter Pan soared into the air on wires in the London stage.

Marc Forester's fascinating film biography adapted by David Magee from Allan Knee's play, "The Man Who Was Peter Pan," now comes to us in this delightful, moving account, 'Finding Neverland.' It presents historical reality between lushly imagined expeditions to a fictitious Neverland. It's performed impeccably by Johnny Depp as Sir James Mathew Barrie and an extraordinary cast under the able direction of Marc Forster.

This is the loveliest film of the year, highly recommended. Bring Kleenex for the final scenes and see how difficult it is to leave the theater and return to today.
