Audio problem: After the mermaids splash Wendy, she raises a seashell threateningly above her head and says "If you dare come near me again.". Her mouth doesn't move at all.
Audio problem: When the mermaids are nagging Wendy they cry "Oh please!" "I insist!" but their mouths aren't moving.
Other mistake: At Skull Rock, when Peter Pan mimics Captain Hook's voice while talking to Smee, just as he says, "Oh, and one more thing," note the handle of Peter's dagger. The animation of his dagger is bizarre, the handle's grip is separated from its pommel, as if it's going through Peter's forearm. (00:41:50)
Peter Pan: Well, well, a codfish on a hook.
Captain Hook: I'll get you for this, Pan, if it's the last thing I do.
Trivia: Many people believe that Tinker Bell's curvaceous body was based on Marilyn Monroe, but it was actually based on actress Margaret Kerry who auditioned for the part.
Question: What kind of medicine was Nana bringing into the nursery to give to the children?
Answer: They never officially confirmed; but it was likely castor oil or morphine. Both were used around this time period as a common "medicine" for children.
Cocaine, heroin, and alcohol-based elixirs were also commonplace at that time and considered "safe and effective" for children.
