Nonplussed

Peter Pan (1953)


Listen Later

This week on Nonplussed we try to offer a distraction from the world at large by diving in to a magical world of make believe. We wish it was less problematic, but you know what they say about wishes!  

We find the funny where we can, but they're no escaping the dark legacy of Pan. Some resources a bit more qualified than we are to discuss the depictions in this film:  

  • "Disney+ adds disclaimer to ‘Dumbo’ and ‘Peter Pan’ for depicting racist stereotypes," Marketwatch  
  • "The Racist History of Peter Pan's Indian Tribe," Smithsonian Magazine  
  • "Peter Pan Is the Boy Who Never Stopped Being Racist," Fatherly
