This animated fairy tale for kids tells the classic story of Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up. Determined never to become an adult, Peter stays forever young in a magical word called Neverland, where he leads a band of mischevious kids called the Lost Boys. Unfortunately, Neverland's chief other inhabitant is a pirate named Captain Hook, who would like nothing more than to put a permanent end to Peter's fun.

Soviet-Australian co-production creates gloriously mismatched aesthetic chaos.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
A rare Cold War-era collaboration: Ukrainian studio Kyivnaukfilm animated it, Australia dubbed it, nobody claimed full responsibility.
The film compresses Barrie's entire novel into 48 minutes, meaning Wendy goes to Neverland, becomes mother to Lost Boys, and returns home in roughly the time of a TV episode.
