From the characters to plot points to backstories, there are many differences between Disney's live-action Peter Pan & Wendy and animated Peter Pan.
Though the live-action Peter Pan & Wendy is a remake of Disney's 1953 animated Peter Pan, there are several major differences between the two. Like the animated film, Peter Pan & Wendy follows Wendy and her brothers, John and Michael, as they avoid growing up by traveling from London to Neverland with Peter Pan. On Neverland, they encounter pirates, mermaids, and the Lost Boys. At the end of the film, Wendy and her brothers decide to return home, while Peter goes back to Neverland.
Canadian Cree actress Alyssa Wapanatâhk was cast as Tiger Lily and contributed elements of her own culture to the character. Tiger Lily speaks a dialect of the Cree language. Unlike in Peter Pan, Tiger Lily's tribe is only seen briefly, and Wendy doesn't get to meet them but Tiger Lily plays a bigger role in the story of the film, acting as a leader when Peter Pan isn't around and later saving his life.
6 Captain Hook Has a New Backstory New to the story of Peter Pan & Wendy is Captain Hook's backstory and connection to Peter Pan. No longer the cartoon-ish villain voiced by Hans Conried, Jude Law's Captain Hook is a three-dimensional man who was once the first Lost Boy and Peter's best friend. As far as the animated Peter Pan is concerned, Hook is just mean to children, but Peter Pan & Wendy endeavors to explain his behavior.
