ok i know this is an odd subject but i just got thru watching peter pan and i hav a few questions?

Question

i watched the one with robin williams, but the things i have questions on are reocurring themes in all peter pan movies. for one thing, why is it significant for peter to crow, and what is the meaning of the thimble or a kiss in both peter pan movies, and why does captain hook hate clocks

Answer 1

I'm not sure about the crowing, but if I remember correctly, Hook hates clocks because the alligator that bit off his hand had previously eaten a clock, which was still ticking. So he associated clocks with the memory of his hand being bitten off.
As for the thimble, that was just a symbol or name they used for a kiss or something. If you read the book I think it explains it better.

Answer 2

These details reoccur because they were obviously important. J.M. Barrie's most famous play and novel, Peter Pan, was written to show that children should dream and adventure before they become busy-bodies like Peter's parents, George and Mary Darling.

Peter's crow is a sign of childhood. He does it to bring attention to himself, because he is the best of the best; he will win the fight against evil. It is also because he is 'part bird', therefore he flies and crows.

The thimble/kiss scene was designed to show that Peter was inexperienced; he was only a child. You find that Tink longs for the kiss of Peter also.

The fact that Hook hates clocks gives the reader a definite knowledge that Hook is not as strong and terrifying as it seems. He hates clocks because once Peter Pan cut off his hand, and he fed it to a crocodile (therefore causing him to replace it with a hook). He also ate a clock, and when he was near Hook, Hook could tell that an enemy was near. The crocodile loved the taste of Hook's hand, so he was too often near.

Answer 3

You can find out much more about Peter Pan by reading more of the writings of J.M. Barrie. The story "Peter and Wendy" is the part most often used in movies, theater, etc. but "Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens" will answer most of your questions.

Peter Pan crows because according to the books he was part bird, as "all" babies are. This is why he can fly, and this is why he crows. It's interesting to note that Peter is the only character in Neverland who can fly without the aid of fairy dust.

About the thimble: when Wendy first met Peter, she told him she wanted to give him a kiss. Not knowing what a kiss was, Peter held out his hand as if to accept a physical object. Rather than embarrass him, Wendy reached for the first object she could find at hand--a thimble--and gave it to Peter instead.
