Experience the Magic of Disney’s Beloved Flight of Fantasy:
“Peter Pan” Soars Into the Walt Disney Signature Collection
on Digital May 29 and on Blu-ray™ June 5
Celebrate the 65th anniversary of the timeless classic and enjoy new and original bonus features!
Ready to feel old? To celebrate this beloved Disney movie's 65 anniversary, a new "Peter Pan" Walt Disney Signature Collection edition is being released this Tuesday, June 5th, on digital and Blu-ray. I can't believe this movie is 65 years old. I grew up watching it, and remember my parents telling me about watching it for the first time when they were younger, and falling in love with the timeless classic. Come on, who doesn't love Peter Pan? All the magic and make believe that the story entails makes you wish you could back to your youth and go on adventures like Peter, Wendy, Michael and John went on. Oh, and I can't forget Tinker Bell. Without her and her magic dust, they wouldn't be able to fly and travel to Neverland.
This past Friday I surprised the family with a fun Peter Pan movie night. I had coloring and activity worksheets for the girls to do after their school in the afternoon, and make some fun "Peter Pan" inspired snacks to enjoy while we watched the movie for our family movie night.
Even though we have seen Peter Pan countless times, this is one of those great movies you could watch over and over again without getting bored.
And, like with other Walt Disney Signature Collection movies, this one was chock full of bonus features and material, which made our family movie night that much more enjoyable as it was new content that let us see how the story came about, about some of the memorable songs from the movie and so much more. A favorite of the bonus material was A “Darling” Conversation with Wendy & John: Kathryn Beaumont and Paul Collins, which was a sit down with the actors who voiced Wendy and John, as they reminisced about the movie and their experiences working on this timeless classic. It was nice to see them reunited all these years later, and to hear stories from the set and how this movie met a lot to them, and their experience with working with Walt Disney himself. I would have bought this new Blu-ray release just for the bonus content, as it is that good. :-)
So, if you are a fan of Peter Pan, and want to check out the extra bonus material which I can't stop raving to family and friends about, then you will want to pick up the new Walt Disney Signature Collection edition of Peter Pan when it arrives on Blu-Ray on June 5th. It is now available to own on digital and Movies Anywhere, as of May 29th. This movie would make a great family movie night flick that will have everyone snuggling up on the couch to watch one of Disney's most beloved movies. We can't wait to watch it again soon.
More about this upcoming Blu-ray release:
"In celebration of its 65th anniversary, Disney’s beloved flight of fantasy, “Peter Pan,” joins the highly celebrated Walt Disney Signature Collection, landing in homes on Digital and Movies Anywhere on May 29 and on Blu-ray June 5th. With a little faith, trust and pixie dust, every member of the family will let their imagination soar on this epic adventure to Never Land, sparkling with legendary animation, extraordinary music and both all-new and classic bonus features.
The Walt Disney Signature Collection edition of “Peter Pan” invites adventures of all ages to believe in magic once again and experience a timeless treasure from Disney’s golden age of animation that has stirred the hearts and imaginations of moviegoers worldwide since its original 1953 release. The Signature Collection edition offers over two hours of classic bonus features plus never-before-seen extras, including the latest installment of “Stories from Walt’s Office,” which explores Walt’s love of flying and the company planes; a nostalgic reunion between Kathryn Beaumont (the voice of Wendy) and Paul Collins (the voice of John); and new “Oke” renditions of the classic song “You Can Fly” and deleted song “Never Smile at a Crocodile” accompanied by on-screen lyrics and the film’s unforgettable animated characters.
In “Peter Pan,” fantastic adventures await the Darling children—Wendy, John and Michael—when Peter Pan, the hero of their stories, whisks them away to the magical world of Never Land. After flying with Peter and the delightfully impish Tinker Bell past the “second star to the right and straight on till morning,” they explore the enchanted island and Peter’s secret hideout with the Lost Boys, and leap into high-flying battles with swashbuckling pirates and the infamous villain Captain Hook.
“Peter Pan” is the seventh title to join the Walt Disney Signature Collection, which includes groundbreaking films created or inspired by the imagination and legacy of Walt Disney, featuring timeless stories and characters that have touched generations. The film takes its place alongside “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs,” “Beauty and the Beast,” “Pinocchio,” “Bambi,” “The Lion King” and “Lady and the Tramp.”
Bonus Features:
BLU-RAY & DIGITAL*:
- New Signature Collection Bonus
- Stories from Walt’s Office: Walt & Flight – “Think of the happiest things, it’s the same as having wings”. One thing you’ll notice inside Walt Disney’s office are all of the models and pictures of airplanes. Walt loved planes and was an aficionado of flying. As a continuation of the “Stories from Walt’s Office” series, we’ll soar into the world of one of Walt’s favorite pastimes and look at the history behind the company airplane he used to scout Central Florida looking for the perfect place to build his second theme park.
- A “Darling” Conversation with Wendy & John: Kathryn Beaumont and Paul Collins – Join Disney Legend Kathryn Beaumont (the voice of Wendy) and Paul Collins (the voice of John) as they reunite for the first time in many years to reminisce and discuss their experiences working on Peter Pan, meeting Walt Disney and learning to fly … literally.

- Growing Up with Nine Old Men – “Peter Pan” is both a story of living with a child’s sense of openness to the world and an acknowledgement that the path to adulthood most often leads away from those qualities. A parallel of sorts to that duality can be found in Walt Disney and his core group of animators, the Nine Old Men, in their lives and in their work. Our short film will look at who they were and the parts they played in one of the most remarkable team of artists that ever worked together.

- Deleted Song: “Never Smile at a Crocodile” – With music played over static concept art of the crocodile from Pater Pan.

- Deleted Scene: “Alternate Arrival” – A deleted scene where Wendy and the children are initially attacked by the Lost Boys because Tinker Bell tells them that Wendy is holding Peter captive. We also see in this version of the story that Nana the dog travels to Never Land with Wendy and the children.
