When Wendy walks the plank, she is some distance from the water. Yet a few minutes afterwards, when Captain Hook throws Starkey overboard, Starkey hits the water quicker than Wendy would have, and the splash can be seen over the side of the boat, whereas with Wendy, no splash would have been visible. [Would haves and could haves don't make a mistake. You can't compare something which did not happen to something which did happen. Bottom line is Starky landed in the water and Wendy didn't.]

Mistakes
In the duel at Skull Rock, after Peter leads Captain Hook onto thin air, Hook drops his sword and scrambles to grab hold of the cliff again. But when we see Hook's reaction to the approaching crocodile, you can see his sword back in its sheath. See more...
Trivia
The tune played whenever the crocodile approaches originally had lyrics. The song was titled "Never Smile at a Crocodile". See more...
Peter Pan (1953) - 4 corrections
Comments made in brackets are corrections from other visitors. As such, any aggressive/abusive corrections (and I get quite a few) written as if they're comments I've made myself will be ignored. To submit your own corrections for mistakes, just click the edit icon under an entry, then choose "correct entry". Some entries have "duplicated entry" after them - these are entries which were already listed on the main page, but were submitted again. I occasionally leave these online for a while, just in case they were moved in error, so don't worry about pointing them out to me.

Although Peter is right handed, he wears his scabbard on his right hip. It's extremely dangerous to draw from the same side as your stronger hand, even with a fairly short knife. Strangely, the only time we actually see him draw his knife, it has swapped to his left hip and he draws it across his body correctly. [Just like Bobby Driscoll, who was modeled and did the voice for Peter Pan, we only see Peter draw from his right side. Even if it is dangerous there is no adult to tell Peter that, so it's not a mistake.]
From Peter's first entrance on the rooftop till about halfway through the nursery scene, his individual teeth are visible in closeup facial shots. But starting at about the line "But that would mean no more stories.", he's no longer drawn with individual teeth - -just an expanse of white when he opens his mouth, giving him a much less threatening appearance. Hard to believe that it was intentional. A change of artists, maybe? [He was drawn that way to make him look more mischevious, for the same reason that he was drawn with a shadow covering his eyes, making him resemble a masked bandit.]
