Well it isn't stealing. Perhaps Wendy is a little sluttish and is drawn to Peters adventurous side, that's not Peters fault. > As for Hook being Wendy's father... it is implied in J.M. > Barries play...

Hook is a nemesis of Peter not Wendy and Peter has nothing to do with Wendy's father. Had Hook been the main character against against Wendy and not Tinkerbell then you might have a worthwhile point. And just because the voice of Mr.Darling and Hook were done by the same person, it's meaningless. June Foray did the voice of Squaw and one of the mermaids, Bill Thompson did the voice of Mr.Smee and other pirates. Being over analytical just because one guy does the voice of two characters in a cartoon is rather laughable. Tell me of a Peter Pan stage play where Mr.Darling and Hook are played by the same person and you've won all bets. > > I think I must re-read Peter Pan, because I can't remember > > Peter stealing Wendy, nor Wendy's Dad being Hook. > > > > > A boy who can't grow up (either from Childhood or > > > Teenagehood) Peter (the name has been changed from Baal) > > > steals Wendy away from her parents house and takes her to > > > live with the Lost Boys, a group of youths who've fled > > > society to set up their own lord of the flies existence > > > Tink- Peter's friend, hates Wendy for stealing away > > > Peter's attentions and betrays his friend Peter by turning > > > over Wendy's location to Hook (Wendy's father)-- so that > > > he can take her back.
