{{nihongo|'''''Peter Pan: The Animated Series'''''|ピーターパンの冒険|Pītā Pan no Bōken|lit. ''The Adventures of Peter Pan''}} is an [[anime]] series by [[Nippon Animation]], directed by Yoshio Kuroda, which first aired in Japan on [[Fuji Television]] between January 15 and December 24, 1989, and is also popular in the [[United Kingdom]].

==Outline==
An adaptation of the classic ''[[Peter and Wendy|Peter Pan]]'' play and novel by [[J. M. Barrie|J.M. Barrie]], the series spanned a total of 41 episodes. It was scheduled to start on 8 January 1989, but due to the death of [[Hirohito|Emperor Shōwa]], the premiere got postponed for a week.

It was part of the ''[[World Masterpiece Theater]]'', a famed animation staple by [[Nippon Animation]], which produced an animated version of a different classical book or story each year. The anime, while adapting material from the original novel, also adds numerous original story arcs.

In the usual case of the ''World Masterpiece Theater'', the stage is a real world, and the main character is often exposed to terrible circumstances such as [[single-parent family]] or [[orphan]], and it tends to have a gloomy atmosphere. This work is a rare case, the stage is a fictional world, and although it is a story of adventure and battle, it has a bright atmosphere. Compared to other series in the franchise, the story is loosely adapted from the book, adding an entirely original second act focused on the new character of Princess Luna. The series is also notable for the presence of Rascal from ''[[Rascal the Raccoon]]'', making it the only anime in the ''World Masterpiece Theater'' to contain a crossover.

The series was also later translated and released by [[Saban Entertainment]] in several international audiences worldwide in 1990, sometimes under the name '''''Peter Pan: The Animated Series'''''. In Europe, it was broadcast on the television networks: [[Telecinco]] (Spain), [[Sociedade Independente de Comunicação|SIC]] (Portugal), [[RTL Television]] (Germany), [[KiKA]] (Germany), [[Italia 1]], [[Canale 5]] and [[Rete 4]] (Italy), [[TV3 (Sweden)]] and [[Fox Kids]] (Sweden, Norway), [[REN TV]] (Russia), [[Yleisradio]] (Finland) and [[TVP 2]] (Poland). It also aired in numerous other countries, such as New Zealand (TV2), Israel (on [[Israeli Educational Television|IETV]] and [[Fox Kids]]), Brazil ([[Rede Globo]]), Mexico ([[XHGC]]), Philippines ([[ABS-CBN]]), [[Fun Factory (TV series)|Sky One's Fun Factory]] (United Kingdom) and from 2009 to 2012 Indonesia ([[Spacetoon (Indonesia)|Spacetoon]]).

==Plot==
The anime starts with Wendy having a dream about Peter Pan rescuing her and having a sword fight with Captain Hook. Wendy and her two brothers, later on in the episode, go to Never Neverland and Wendy becomes the 'mother' of the Lost boys. Throughout the series, a romance blooms between Peter and Wendy, as they go on fights with pirates.

The last half of the series deviates from the original story line, in a total of three camps (Peter Pan, Captain Hook and Sinistra). Two new characters (Sinistra and Luna) become an important part of the last episodes.

Different from Disney version, the everyday wear of Peter Pan is brown in this work.

The three children live a rather monotonous life in late 19th century London: they go to school, and sneak laughs about their father at breakfast, but Peter Pan begins to infiltrate their life. They ask their mother about him, and go on a search in the library. They soon come to the conclusion that Peter Pan really exists and appears only to children, while he fades away from adults' memories. They start leaving their nursery window open, even though winter quickly approaches. Peter Pan indeed visits their room, but all three are asleep, despite their efforts to keep awake. Nana, the canine nursemaid, bites off the [[shadow]] of the intruder. Wendy wakes up, and frantically hides the strange object in a drawer. Peter Pan must return for his shadow, Wendy reasons, and she and her brothers eagerly await the next evening. Later in the day, Mr. Darling becomes angry with Nana and ties her up outside before leaving with his wife to a party. The children are alone and excited.

Wendy wakes up when he starts making a racket, pulling almost all the clothes out of her closet. He is very happy to find it, but cannot reattach it to himself. Tink offers to help with a bar of soap, but even with this "powerful substance", he cannot keep it attached. Peter is completely devastated and starts bawling, until Wendy approaches him. She sews it back on, and the boy gives her an acorn necklace as thanks. Wendy gives him a kiss, but this infuriates Tinker Bell (Tink stays angry at Wendy for about 10 more episodes). Peter teaches the Darlings to fly and takes them to Neverland.

It turns out that Wendy is unharmed, as the arrow hit straight into the acorn necklace that Peter gave her. The Darlings slowly become accustomed to living in the tree house, while the lost boys are mesmerized by how a good a mother Wendy is. Neverland seems all fun and games, until the pirates get close to the tree house at night. The lost boys prepare to defend themselves, but Peter has the territory covered.

Upon their leaving, the mermaids take Michael and Wendy down into the water, and, being the only one else present, Tootles dives down and saves them. At the tree house, Tootles shows them a cute little raccoon named Rascal. Meanwhile, John gets his first look at the pirates and gets caught by them, along with Curly and Slightly. On the ship, Captain Hook appears for the first time and puts John up on a plank high above the water. Before he gets to laugh, Peter appears. Unable to fly away, with his friends held hostage and Hook coming at him with a sword, there seems to be no chance for Peter to get away alive, but fortunately for him, this episode also includes the first appearance of the ticking crocodile.

| ShortSummary    = While Peter 'modestly' presents his flying abilities to John and Michael, Tink decides to prove to the two gullible boys that Peter can also turn day to night. After Tink persuades them to close their eyes, Peter hangs a blanket above them. It doesn't take long for John to understand the prank that was played on him, but when he does come out from under the covers, Wendy is already enraged. After the lost boys fight over who gets to bring the blanket to her to stitch it up, Wendy tells them about a marvelous machine that makes sewing easy and quick. Slightly instantly goes to try building the contraption with Curly, but neither of them knows what such a machine even looks like. They really lose hope after Wendy inadvertently tells them that a sewing machine can't be made solely from wood, but Slightly is determined. Meanwhile, Hook gets irritated by Smee's off-key singing about mothers as he is sewing, as mothers are a touchy emotional subject for the captain. Smee is sequestered off to shore to continue his chore, which presents Slightly and Curly with the perfect opportunity to see a sewing machine in action. Although Smee is more grandfather than pirate, Hook's crew arrives on shore just as the two lost boys get comfortable.

She offers to present him to the Captain. On the pirate ship, Hook has sent off all the pirates to shore to celebrate his mother's birthday in peace. When John boards the ship, Hook is less than pleased with the aspiring buccaneer, and assigns him to wash the deck (John is, apparently, destined for cleaning jobs). Tiger Lily, who has sneaked onto the ship after John, suddenly attacks Hook from behind with a knife, intending to kill him. Luckily for Hook, Cecco returns and distracts the girl enough for Hook to subdue her. Tiger Lily, and John as her conspirator, are cast into the man-made sandpit for their insolence. Only Peter Pan can save them from here, but he does it without even flying.

The boy wants to give it to Wendy as a present, but she refuses after finding out that the Neverbird laid one egg only every three years. Offended, Peter flies away, leaving Wendy with the egg. Soon, Tiger Lily comes looking for the egg, but Wendy hides it in the most unexpected place (so that even the pirates could not find it). Hook also wants the egg, to eat it and fulfill his desire for eternal youth. When the pirates see smoke up in the mountain from the girls' campfire, Hook goes up with Smee to investigate.

Hook losing his wardrobe, the crocodile being subjected to a Hook "puppet show", and a firing of projectiles full of laughing gas into the poor crocodile's jaws. Meanwhile, Hook is sure Peter's reason for trying to remove the clock is to eliminate the warning sound of the crocodile's approach, and starts getting a little psychotic.

Wendy complies only because she thinks this will make Peter happy. Peter, however, soon forgets all about his decision, and brushes her efforts off as an unimportant trifle compared to the new exciting adventure he just had. Wendy gets angry and locks herself up in the attic. John advises Peter to apologize, but this is something the boy can't imagine doing in any circumstances. When the two do talk, the situation only gets worse, and Wendy announces she wants to leave Neverland and runs out into the woods. Peter is chased out of the tree house by a mutinous band of Lost Boys, and is left to grapple with his conflicting self-pride and friendship to Wendy. A sacrifice of this pride must be made to get Wendy back, and piranhas only complicate the situation.

| ShortSummary    = As Wendy is telling the story of Cinderella to the Lost Boys one night, they ask what a stepmother looks like. Since there are no old people in Neverland, Peter resorts to stealing Hook's treasured portrait of his mother to show them an old woman. Hook is furious when he finds the picture missing, and blames it all on Cecco, who fell asleep on the watch, as usual. The pirates all sympathize with their fellow pirate, and guess that it was only Peter Pan who could (or would) steal the portrait. They fail in their attempts to catch Peter, but they take Michael, and Wendy soon afterwards, as prisoners. Peter Pan has no choice but to give himself up, and everything looks pretty hopeless for a moment. Meanwhile, Slightly and Curly have been trying to build what they think is the carriage from the Cinderella story as a gift for Wendy, and this device happens to come in very handy in the dire situation.

Although the Chief does not desire to help him (because Peter played some annoying prank on him just the other day), Tiger Lily gives him a plant that should be boiled and drunk as medicine. By the time he arrives, forgetful Peter does not remember what the Chief's daughter had instructed him to do with the plant, so he makes up some foolish directions: water it for a thousand days until fruit starts growing on it. Michael knows Wendy would suffer for a long time before the plant was ready, so he decides to get ice to lower her high fever. He sets out with Tink for Ice Mountain, far away from home. All would have gone well, if Starkey and Alf hadn't crossed the little traveler's path. They, too, were getting ice for their sick Captain. When Michael comes back with the ice and snow in a jar, the heartless buccaneers snatch it from his very hands and walk away.  Michael is left crying in the desert land, but Peter would avenge Michael, and both of them would cure Wendy.

| ShortSummary    = Peter's band is having fun with giant lizards in a meadow, except for John, who faints three times. All the while, Wendy is annoyed by Peter's behavior in not keeping his promise to pick flowers with her. Before she knows it, Alf and Starkey catch her and take her on their boat. On their long journey back to Hook's ship, Starkey takes out a letter his sister had somehow mailed him. Starkey has such literacy problems that Wendy decides to read it to him and the teary-eyed Alf. She also starts telling them the story of Snow White when the letter mentions it, because the pirates do not recognize such a tale. After some time, the current begins to get rougher and faster, and Alf notices the waterfall up ahead. Starkey lassos a branch extending from a floating island and they are saved, while the boat is smashed between rocks. Once on land, Wendy finishes the story and is offered a strange fruit from Starkey as a sign of friendship, which Alf immediately criticizes as 'too nice'. Instantly, Wendy falls into a deep endless sleep, while the two pirates are left confused and helpless. When Peter arrives, though, Tink recognizes the fruit and claims there is an antidote that must be drunk by the victim before sunrise, but if Peter doesn't make it before sunrise, Wendy will remain asleep forever.

| OriginalAirDate = {{Start date|1989|5|14}}
| ShortSummary    = Wendy wakes up and finds an irritated John counting sheep with circles under his eyes from lack of sleep. He hasn't slept the entire night and gets annoyed easily. Then Peter remembers the strange music he once heard on Hook's ship that caused everyone to fall asleep instantly. Later, Smee tells Peter that the music was no spirit, but the Captain's harpsichord. He sneaks Peter onto Hook's ship and shows him the forbidden instrument. When Peter starts playing so loudly (and out of tune) that Hook comes barging in, Smee takes the blame so that Peter can escape, but the Captain is not deceived, and he makes an ingenious trap, so that if one should play a certain key on his harpsichord, the seat blows up. Wendy tries fooling Peter into thinking that John has fallen asleep, so that he wouldn't go back for the harpsichord and get into any more trouble, but she fails. Peter is determined to get John to sleep, but most importantly to annoy Hook.

They decide to leave him at home when they go on their adventures, and only Wendy is by his side. Then, when Tink introduces the idea of capturing Hook's flag to prove he is worthy to participate in Peter's adventures, Tootles and Wendy set off for the Captain's ship. When they get there, they find the flag gone from the mast, and decide to follow Smee on his rowboat. It happens that when Smee finished washing the flag, it accidentally tore, and the old pirate fled to shore to try to sew it up. When Tootles and Wendy arrive, he sees his chance to give his guilt away, but just as the two are leaving with their trophy, they are caught by the pirates. Hook sees this as an opportunity to use Wendy as bait to catch his nemesis, but Tootles manages to ruin the Captain's plan just enough to save Peter and Wendy.

Meanwhile, the lost boys are happily playing with the cloak, while Wendy worries that all this fun could cause much trouble. Peter Pan decides to bring back the cloak just to please Wendy, but is surprised to find the pirate ship missing from the bay. Peter decides to wait for the ship to return. Back at the tree house, Wendy is proved right when the pirates come heavily armed with Hook's most powerful explosives, cannons, and swords. Although the Lost Boys fight with all their might, the pirates still overcome their tree house. Alf grabs hold of Wendy as a hostage and it seems there is no hope left, but no firearm or blade can withstand the Lost Boys' secret weapon: Peter Pan.

Hook tries to crush him and shoot him, but misses and almost hits Wendy. This is where the Captain takes her up in the metal clutches of his robot and rides after Peter, crushing everything beneath him- including a water pipe. The pirates and Lost Boys see the giant spiked wheel of Hook's secret weapon break through the ceiling and fall. Somehow, Hook manages to steer the robot out and into the mountain where he breaks the stone wall with the fist in which Wendy is held. She is suspended far above the sea, and with one pull of a string, the Captain can have her fall. Tootles tries to get his hot-air balloon close enough to save Wendy, but fails. The Lost Boys start tearing the robot apart, but this makes it lose hold of Wendy. She falls and it looks like Peter has to fly faster than sound to save her.

Inside the mirror, things are getting tense as well, as Wendy must choose between killing a little girl to free herself from the mirror or being trapped in the mirror forever. To make things worse, that little girl is Luna. In a battle against her inner darkness, Luna frees herself of the evil that was within herself and shatters the Black Mirror, thus turning it into the White Mirror. With the Black Mirror turned into the White Mirror, light returns to Neverland, the Black Castle is turned into the White Castle, Neverland is restored and Hook's dark magic is undone. With peace restored to Neverland, Wendy, John and Michael return home to London. Time passes, however, and Peter doesn't show up. Some time later (it is soon revealed that years that have passed), Peter meets Jane, Wendy's daughter. Peter is disappointed at first, but he decides to bring Jane along with him. Peter is still looking for kids to take to Neverland, so kids should leave their windows open. If they can't, they should at least open a window in their hearts (so that Peter can send them wonderful dreams).

==Development==
Preview summaries character designs and pictures of the Peter Pan were released in magazines to promote the series. The character designs were slightly different from when the series aired. The story summary had a plot of Peter Pan and his friends stealing a treasure map from the pirates and went on a journey to find it.

==Differences==
Differences from the book or other Peter Pan versions:
* Setting of the time period of this series is not at [[turn of the century]] but at the end of the [[Victorian era]].
* The character of [[w:Mary_Darling_(fictional_character)|Mary Darling]] is renamed here as is [[w:John_Darling_(Peter_Pan)|the middle names]] of John Darling.
* [[w:Rascal_the_Raccoon|Rascal the Raccoon]], a creation of [[w:Nippon_Animation|Nippon]], appears occasionally throughout the series.
* In most of the other versions [[Neverland]] is an [[w:Island|island]] in one of the vast oceans, but in ''The Adventures of Peter Pan'' Neverland is a [[w:Floating_island_(fiction)|floating island]] hidden somewhere in the sky.
* In all other versions [[w:Captain Hook|Hook]] lost his hand when Peter Pan cut it off, but in ''The Adventures of Peter Pan'' it was bitten off by the crocodile while Hook lost his first fight with Peter Pan. Also in ''The Adventures of Peter Pan'' Hook occasionally substitutes it for a crab pincer claw. 
* In all the other versions Peter has a dagger, always worn close to himself to be ready for a duel all the time. In ''The Adventures of Peter Pan'' Peter uses a big scarf tooth for his fights. 
* In the book and most of the other versions the Darling children leave their home and go to Neverland in their pyjamas (''[[Peter Pan (1953 film)|Walt Disney's Peter Pan]]'', ''[[Peter Pan (2003 film)|Peter Pan]]'' (2003), ''[[Peter Pan Live!]]'' or ''[[Peter Pan (1988 film)|Burbank Films Australia's Peter Pan]]''). Here they first are wearing pyjamas when Peter visits them at night, but before leaving they change and are with their normal all day clothes in Neverland (as in some other versions like ''[[Fox's Peter Pan & the Pirates]]'' or ''The New Adventures of Peter Pan'').  
* In the book and other versions there is only one clock in Neverland, the one inside the croc, but here in episode 8 "The Clock" it is shown that Hook also possesses another one on his ship. 
* In the book (and the film ''Peter Pan (2003)'' and ''Peter Pan Live!'') at the end of the story it is also the end of Hook, who gets eaten by the crocodile, but here he doesn't die. 
* In the book and other versions (''Walt Disney's Peter Pan'', ''Peter Pan (2003)'', ''Peter Pan Live!'', ''Burbank Films Australia's Peter Pan'' or ''Fox's Peter Pan & the Pirates'') Peter and the others have their home in an underground house and as the name says they live under the earth. Here they first have a tree house and live over the ground and later change it into a moving house on wheels. 
* In the book (and ''Fox's Peter Pan and the Pirates'') the Lost Boys and John Darling share a big bed and Michael as being the smallest of them has his own bed, which is a big basket. In "The Adventures of Peter Pan" (or  ''Peter Pan Live!'') everybody has his own bed, though Michael is occasionally seen sharing a bed with John. 
* In Barrie's novel (and the films ''Peter Pan (2003)'' or ''Burbank Films Australia's Peter Pan'') Peter and the boys build an extra house for Wendy, where only she lives and then regularly spends her time at the underground house. In this version (like in ''Peter Pan Live!'') Wendy doesn't have her own house and lives in the same one as Peter and the others. 
* In the book and most of the other versions (''Walt Disney's Peter Pan'', ''Peter Pan (2003)'', ''Burbank Films Australia's Peter Pan'' or ''Fox's Peter Pan & the Pirates'') the gang of the Lost Boys includes six boys, but here there are only three. 
* At the end of the novel and some other versions (like ''Peter Pan (2003)'' or ''Peter Pan Live!'') the Lost Boys leave Neverland, get adopted by the Darling family and grow up. In the series, they stay in Neverland and after Peter returns to Wendy's house, finds out she's grown up and has a daughter, while the lost boys are still children. 
* At the end of the last chapter from Barrie's novel Peter after several years visits the Darling house again and meets the grown-up Wendy (and this is presented in ''Peter Pan Live!''). In this version when Peter returns to London the adult Wendy is not at home, but only her daughter Jane, who explains to Peter that Wendy has grown up. 
* At the end of Barrie's story when Peter visits Wendy in London his little fairy Tinker Bell is already dead, but in ''The Adventures of Peter Pan'' (or ''[[Return to Never Land|Disney's Return to Neverland]]'') when Wendy is an adult Tink is still alive and comes together with Peter to the Darling house. 
* Although the original Japanese script makes no reference to the crocodile's [[gender]], the English translation of this series refers to the crocodile as "he". In ''[[The Pirate Fairy]]'', the crocodile of the Disney version is referred to as "he", and the crocodile in the Burbank Films Australia film ''Peter Pan'' is also described as male, while in Barrie's original, the crocodile is described as female. This is followed by the animated television series ''Fox's Peter Pan & the Pirates'' and the authorized sequel novel, ''[[Peter Pan in Scarlet]]''.
