'It doesn't look that bad': Fans divided as Disney+ releases first trailer of 'Peter Pan & Wendy'

The trailer looks promising and stands true to the ground of 'live-action,' as it dwells deeper into the story of Peter Pan, Tinker Bell and Wendy

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Disney+ released the trailer for 'Peter Pan & Wendy' based on the Mouse House’s 1953 animated classic 'Peter Pan', making the dreams of many Disney fans come true. The trailer dropped on February 28 and it looks more comprehensive than the past retellings of the original JM Barrie story. The movie stars Alexander Molony, making his debut in a feature film, as the character Peter Pan, with Ever Gabo Anderson as Wendy Darling.

Jude Law plays Captain Hook, and has portrayed it perfectly for his creepy looks, twisted mustache, red coat, and sickly smile along with his golden dialogue as he is seen in the trailer asking Wendy, “Where is Peter Pan?” The trailer looks promising and stands true on the grounds of "live-action", as it dwells deeper into the base of authenticity and great storytelling of Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, and Wendy. Disney+ released the official trailer and since has paved the way for many reactions and comments from fans on the internet.

'It doesn't look that bad'

While some fans were amazed by the trailer and it made them feel like a childhood dream come true, some pointed out the flaws in the editing and soundtrack and listed everything that went wrong with the casting. "So visually stunning with this very first trailer for Peter Pan. Thank you James Matthew Barrie," commented a user. Another said, "ngl the track they used for the trailer and the editing is kinda horrible in my opinion. like its cliche and just... awful." Another added, "Hell no, another decent film converted in trash !!!!" There were also comments of appreciation like "This actually looks pretty cool I won't lie," and "It doesn't look that bad."

Making up new stories with more than one ethnicity

The one major difference in the trailer of the live-action 'Peter Pan & Wendy' is that the production has included many ethnicities in the cast, which isn't a wrong thing, but has made fans furious. "Cant have the lost boys being just boys and we need more coloured people in it what's wrong with leaving classics alone and making up new stories with more than one ethnicity" said a user. "What did they do to Tinkerbell? Disney ruining the character again" added another. 

'Peter Pan & Wendy' will begin streaming exclusively on Disney+ on April 28. Take a look at the first-ever trailer of the live-action movie.
