🦋 Fallible Memory

So who remembered that at the beginning of Peter Pan, before Peter ever comes and takes the children to visit Never-Never Land, he existed as a story that Wendy told to her brothers? That part of the story had totally vanished from my memory and from Ellen's. (Other things I did not remember include the in-your-face racism and sexism, pretty hard to miss -- I guess it's been a long time since I watched this.)

That's pretty much par for the course in Disney movies! (Racism & sexism I mean...)

Granted -- I had just forgotten how strongly they are present in this particular movie.
