The story's hero is Jake Sully, a former Marine confined to a wheelchair. Bitter and
disillusioned, he's still a warrior at heart. All Jake ever wanted was something worth
fighting for, and he finds it in the place he least expected: on a distant world. Jake has been
recruited to join an expedition to the moon Pandora, which corporate interests are strip-
mining for a mineral worth $20 billion per kilogram on Earth. To facilitate their work, the
humans use a link system that projects a person's consciousness into a hybrid of humans
and Pandora's indigenous humanoids, the Na'vi. This human-Na'vi hybrid – a fully living,
breathing body that resembles the Na'vi but possesses the individual human's thoughts,
feelings and personality – is known as an "avatar."
Peter Pan is a character created by Scottish novelist and playwright J. M. Barrie. A free spirited and mischievous
young boy who can fly and never grows up, Peter Pan spends his never-ending childhood having adventures on
the mythical island of Neverland as the leader of the Lost Boys, interacting with fairies, pirates, mermaids, Native
Americans, and occasionally ordinary children from the world outside Neverland. In addition to two distinct works
by Barrie, the character has been featured in a variety of media and merchandise, both adapting and expanding
on Barrie's works. These include a 1953 animated film, a 2003 dramatic/live-action film, a TV series and many
other works.
Tinker Bell[edit]
Main article: Tinker Bell
Tinker Bell, a common fairy who is Peter Pan's best friend and often jealously protective of him. She is the friend
who helps him in his escapades. As his fairy, Tink’s malicious actions are usually caused by her jealousy which
leads to the Lost Boys shooting arrows at Wendy (or nearly stoned to death in the Disney film), and eventually
even reveals Peter’s hideout to Captain Hook, thinking that Wendy will be captured rather than Peter. When Tink
realises her serious mistake, she risks her own life by drinking the poison Hook has left for Peter (or pushing
Hook’s bomb away in Disney's movie). Her extreme loyalty and dedication to Peter is everlasting.
The Lost Boys[edit]
Main article: Lost Boys (Peter Pan)
Peter is the leader of the Lost Boys, which include Tootles, Nibs, Slightly, Curly, and The Twins. The Lost Boys is a
band of boys who were lost by their parents after they "fall out of their perambulators", and came to live in
Neverland; it is written that he "thins them out" when they start to grow up. They proved to always have his back
and defend Peter in sticky situations, including dangerous encounters with Captain Hook.
The Crocodile[edit]
The crocodile (Tick-Tock in the Disney film) is Captain Hook's nemesis. After Peter Pan cut off Captain Hook's
hand in a fight and threw it into the sea, the crocodile swallowed it and got a taste for Hook. It also swallowed a
ticking clock, which alerts Hook of its presence.
Adversaries[edit]
Captain Hook[edit]
Main article: Captain Hook
Captain Hook is Peter Pan's arch-enemy, whose right (or left) hand was cut off in a duel. Hook's crew,
including Smee and Starkey, also consider him a foe. Captain Hook's two principal fears are the sight of his own
blood (which is supposedly an unnatural colour) and one crocodile. His name plays on the iron hook that replaced
his hand cut off by Peter Pan and eaten by a saltwater crocodile, which continues to pursue Hook.
In the 1953 animated film, Hook seeks revenge on Peter Pan for having fed the crocodile his hand, and refuses to
leave Neverland without satisfaction.[15] Hook is supported by Mr. Smee. After promising Tinker Bell 'not to lay a
finger (or a hook) on Peter Pan', he lays a bomb in Peter's hideout. At the conclusion of the film, Hook is chased
by the crocodile into the distance. Walt Disney insisted on keeping Hook alive, as he said: "The audience will get
to liking Hook, and they don't want to see him killed." [16] In the sequel Return to Never Land, Hook mistakes
Wendy's da
Family[edit]
Peter Pan ran away from his parents when he was a baby but nothing more is known of them. A younger sibling is
referred to in the chapter "Lock-Out Time" in Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens but is not mentioned again.
Parents[edit]
Peter flew away from his parents as a baby, as told in Peter Pan in Kensington Gardens and Peter and Wendy.
Finding the window closed and seeing a new baby in the house when he returned some time later, he believed his
parents no longer wanted him and never came back.
In Hook, Peter remembers his parents, specifically his mother, who wanted him to grow up and go to the best
schools in London to become a judge like his father and have a family of his own. After Peter flew away to
Kensington Gardens, he returned to find his parents had forgotten about him and had another child.
Wendy Darling[edit]
Main article: Wendy Darling
Wendy is hinted to have romantic feelings for Peter, but cannot be with him because of his inability to love back.
In the 2003 film Peter Pan, the feeling is mutual. Captain Hook can only take away Peter's ability to fly by
thoughts of Wendy leaving him, growing up, and replacing him with a husband. Wendy saves Peter by giving him
her hidden kiss (signifying he is her true love); this gives him the will to live. In the movie Hook, an older Wendy
implies that she used to (and perhaps, still does) have feelings for Peter, saying that she was shocked that he did
not prevent her wedding day. In the sequel to the 1953 Disney film, Return to Neverland, Peter and a grown-up
Wendy are briefly, but happily, reunited after many years and continue to show feelings for each other.
Aladdin is a 1992 American animated musical fantasy film produced by Walt Disney Feature Animation and
released by Walt Disney Pictures. Aladdin is the 31st Disney animated feature film, and was part of the Disney
film era known as the Disney Renaissance. The film was directed by John Musker and Ron Clements, and is
based on the Arab-style folktale Aladdin and the Magic Lamp from One Thousand and One Nights. The voice cast
features Scott Weinger, Robin Williams, Linda Larkin, Jonathan Freeman, Frank Welker, Gilbert Gottfried,
and Douglas Seale.
Aladdin is a poor street urchin who spends his time stealing food from the marketplace in the city of Agrabah. His
adventures begin when he meets a young girl who happens to be Princess Jasmine, who is forced to be married by her
wacky yet estranged father. Aladdin's luck suddenly changes when he retrieves a magical lamp from the Cave of Wonders.
What he unwittingly gets is a fun-loving genie who only wishes to have his freedom. Little do they know is that the Sultan's
sinister advisor Jafar has his own plans for both Aladdin and the lamp.
This retelling of the old Chinese folktale is about the story of a young Chinese maiden who learns that her weakened and
lame father is to be called up into the army in order to fight the invading Huns. Knowing that he would never survive the
rigours of war in his state, she decides to disguise herself and join in his place. Unknown to her, her ancestors are aware of
this and to prevent it, they order a tiny disgraced dragon, Mushu to join her in order to force her to abandon her plan. He
agrees, but when he meets Mulan, he learns that she cannot be dissuaded and so decides to help her in the perilous times
ahead.
Fa Mulan is a character, inspired by an actual historic figure, who appears in Walt Disney Pictures' 36th animated
feature film Mulan (1998), as well as its sequel Mulan II (2004). Her speaking voice is provided by Chinese-
American actress Ming-Na Wen, while Filipina singer Lea Salonga provides the character's singing voice. Created
by author Robert D. San Souci, Mulan is based on the legendary Chinese warrior Hua Mulan from the poem
the Ballad of Mulan. The only child of an aging war veteran, Mulan disregards both tradition and the law by
disguising herself as a man in order to enlist herself in the army in lieu of her feeble father.
