The New Adventures of Peter Pan
No overview available.
As Hook and the pirates are searching a cave for treasure, they stumble on an abandoned sextant. To calm his angry men, Hook leads them to believe that it is a magic sextant that will guide them straight to the biggest treasure on the island. What he doesn't know is that this really is a magic sextant; by moving it from its original position, he has closed the passageway between London and Neverland. And now John, Michael and Peter Pan are stuck in London while Tinkerbell and Wendy have to team up to open the Star passageway...
John is fed up! He can't practice fencing for his Cyrano de Bergerac audition because his classmates keep interrupting him, asking for help with their homework. When Peter Pan promises to give John fencing lessons in Neverland, the boy is thrilled! Except that, everyone needs his brains there too! And John starts to get fed up... But right when he is about to throw in the towel, a magic plant captures both him and Dagan and spits them out in each other's skins.. Now John finds himself among the pirates! And what if Captain Hook was, in fact, an excellent fencing teacher?
Michael has been crying wolf a lot lately. John and Wendy find it truly tiresome. Luckily, Peter shows up to whisk them all off to Neverland and the two older siblings secretly hope that Michael will switch from pestering them to pestering him. Their wish seems to have been granted! As soon as they are inside the Imaginary Tree, Michael whines to Peter about a scary “shadow” lurking about the tree. Peter tells him to stop but Michael won’t give it up. In fact, he proves to them tha
Someone has stolen water from the fairy lake. It is magic water, precious and dangerous. While trying to recover it, Wendy accidentally drinks it and finds herself transformed into a fairy! Though she is thrilled with her new condition at first, she quickly realizes that she can't go home in this state. Things get complicated when our heroes are captured by the pirates. In fact, the fairy water was intended for Hook, who plans on using it to get magic powers and put a stranglehold on Neverland.
Wendy is tired of her brothers always bothering her for help with this, that and the other. Once they get to Neverland, they ask her to team up with them for the big bake-off contest. Wendy flat out refuses. They can fend for themselves! Piqued, John and Michael decide to go look for a the finest ingredient in the universe for their recipe: a Swamp Monster egg... Maybe it's not such a good idea...
Michael is deep in an “I do everything like John” phase, but John is quickly fed up being constantly imitated. On Neverland, John eventually tells him to get lost… Which the vexed Michael does, fleeing to the Mermaids’ Lagoon.
Once again, John’s feelings are seriously hurt when the other children on the school playground pick him last for their team. Oh how he’d like to be tall and strong… and not wear glasses! Once in Neverland, John can’t resist the temptation and races to the Murmuring Tree to make a wish for his braininess to be turned to brawniness. Wish granted!
John is fed up with being the middle child. Michael always gets his way and Wendy is permanently allowed to boss them both around. But John is never allowed to decide on anything!
In Neverland, John and Michael encounter a young Native making some “Valiant Potion”, a traditional potion for the entire tribe that is supposed to give strength and courage. It’s a great honor to prepare it because it is a complicated and delicate matter. John and Michael offer to help the young Native. They gather all the necessary ingredients together… Except that Michael, rushing things as usual, adds the wrong ingredient at the wrong time. The potion spills on the ground and Neverland begins to tremble… It doesn’t take long for the three boys to realize that something is seriously wrong with the island: invisible walls appear from nowhere, geysers of energy shoot from the ground and a magical portal opens between the Jolly Roger and the NeverTribe village. Neverland’s energy has become completely unstable!
To win the photo contest organised by his favorite magazine, Michael wants to take pictures of all the wonderful thing on Neverland ! John reminds him last time they brought a camera on Neverland, they couldn’t develop the pictures , but Michael already foresaw this problem : this time, he’s bring his parents’ old polaroid camera, so pictures get developped IN Neverland ! There, problem solved ! But John and Wendy warn him – You don’t know how technology can turn out on Neverland – but Michael ignores their advice.
John has been docked points on his homework because he did all the work on a group project by himself in order to save time. As John complains, Michael is jumping around holding a DVD of “CAPTAIN MUSCLES 2”. They are going to watch it tonight in Neverland! It’s gonna be AWESOME! So awesome, in fact, that even Sienna wants to watch it… So she decides to hide in a corner of the NeverTree to watch it without being noticed.
After having a major argument about who can use the computer, Wendy and her brothers break it! As a result, they are all punished! All three sulk big-time and swear they’ll never speak to each other again! Luckily Peter knows a way to reconcile them… A way unique to Neverland… The Discord Stone!
In London, Michael has been unbearable since he started doing everything that Walter, his older (and quite stupid) cousin, tells him to do. Wendy and John are fed up and quite happy when Peter comes to get them; going to see other friends should help their brother forget about Walter.
John is feeling low because he sees how talented Wendy is in dancing and what splendid artwork Michael does. He feels like he has no talent whatsoever. Even with his piano pratice, he has to work like crazy to make any progress. Things don’t get any more encouraging for him in Neverland when he sees how well Chubs can cook and Meera can sing. Would he be the only one without a natural gift? So when he learns, quite by chance, that Sienna has stolen Hook’s collection of hooks to find the famous invisibility hook, but couldn’t find it in there, John has an idea : if he can locate this hook, which, according to legend is somewhere in Neverland, he’ll finally have a sign of some kind of talent!
Michael dreams of having a pet, but Mrs. Darling doesn’t share his opinion: it’s too much responsibility, he won’t take care of it and blah, blah, blah… Luckily on Neverland the Great Indian Chief gives Michael a lovely blue frog! Michael just has to make sure it never eats red ants, that he doesn't wave a red handkerchief in front of it and MOST OF ALL, never tickle its belly…
London. Wendy’s furious. She’s been punished for breaking the vase in the living room. Except no one but Michael knew about this, so he must have told on her ! Michael may very well keep protesting his innocence but Wendy won’t believe him.
Wendy is very annoyed because she wasn’t accepted in the school’s cricket club. John laughs because he doesn’t find anything odd about this. After all, cricket is a “gentleman’s” sport and there are girl things and boy things; everyone should know his or her “place”. Wendy can’t believe it; what kind of old-fashioned comment is that?! In Neverland, Peter informs them that today, the young natives boy need to pass a series of physical and intellectual challenges to prove themselves before the tribe. The Lost Kids go to the Native village to watch the show, but they see something else instead: a scene. Lily wants to participate in the contest but her mother is adamantly opposed in the name of “tradition”. Wendy stands up for Lily.
Jake Sorrow, who is on look-out, can’t help joining the concert. He takes a deep breath and belts out… A horribly out of tune note! Frightened, the stars fall from the sky with a scream and the musical creatures scatter in a terrible cacophony. The frightened sun abruptly sets! For the Lost Kids and the Nevertribe, this is a catastrophe! If they don’t manage to gather all of the musical creatures and the stars so they perform the “Song of the Spheres” together, eternal night will reign over Neverland…
The Darlings’ parents have now decided Michael would have his own room ! John and Wendy agree : it’s awesome to have your own room, and Michael is grown-up now… But Michael isn’t convinced : if being a grown-up means you have to sleep all by yourself, well that sucks… When Peter suddenly arrives to pick them up for new adventures : the Nightmare Door has escaped ! The Darlings’ siblings enthusiastically fly off to Neverland…
According to Peter, who appears forthwith, it’s time for John to meet his TOTEM in Neverland. John smells a rat. What is with this Totem thing ? Peter explains that the Indians believe that each person has a part of him that is Animal, still linked to Nature, and which is indispensable for his well-being! It’s an opportunity for John to get to know himself better, and above all to relax a little bit during the stressful time of exams.
Michael comes back from his school outing to the pool completely furious, swearing he’ll never set foot in there again. Wendy and John advise him to go back and try once more : it’s not by refusing to go in the water that one can get better at swimming. Suddenly Peter bursts excitedly in to lead everyone to Neverland, where the water is mysteriously disappearing.
In London, Wendy gets in an argument with her mother after discovering that she had sewed up the holes in her jeans. And the holes were exactly what gave them style! Seconds later, Peter Pan and Tinkerbell appear to take the Darlings to Neverland….
Alone in his bedroom, Michael is drawing the shack of his dreams, in a tree with people inside it. He suddenly hears John and Wendy arriving. Quick ! He puts things back where they belong. But John and Wendy find out their felt pens are almost dry, and they are clearly unhappy about this. Oh come on ! Geeeez ! Is Michael capable of understanding he isn’t the king of the world ?! Living in community implies a minimum of rules. He should have asked before borrowing !
Nobody ever asks Michael for anything: when Wendy needs help she asks John and when John needs help, he asks Wendy… and when Mrs. Darling needs something from her children, she asks her two eldest children! It’s as if Michael doesn’t know how to do anything. He’s tired of feeling useless… but he can’t seem to think of anything that he does better than his older siblings (and that really irritates him). Peter happens to drop by just at that moment. Noticing that Michael is sulking, he suggests that they forget all about it for a few hours, and take a quick trip to Neverland. Nobody there cares about being useful or not! And off they go to the Imaginary Land.
Hook grabs the conch, holds it up with a cry of victory and calls out to Barrum to wake him. All is lost… or would be, if anything happened- but nothing does! It’s not the right one either: our heroes look at each other in confusion !
Peter, Wendy and John are still pursuing Asbjörn and Dagan who are carrying off Michael. Peter flies hastily after them. The pirates are almost at the point of giving up … when Peter suddenly crashes to the ground: he can’t fly anymore! What is going on? He gets up and marches with a determined air towards the pirates… but suddenly disappears. Wendy and John are aghast. Asbjörn and Dagan – surprised but relieved – take off towards the Jolly Roger with Michael. Wendy and John come back to their senses, and rush to follow, all the while desperately hoping that nothing serious has happened to Peter…
