[edit] Quit editing the controversy

Watch the video, and know the lyrics to the racist song what made the red men red. Quit doing this to credit because Peter Pan is a classic favorite. The truth must be spoken

Find Sources. See WP:V, WP:NOR. Verifiability trumps truth around here. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 19:03, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Sources don't need to be online bucko.

They must be cited though. Also see WP:NPOV. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 20:00, 12 September 2006 (UTC)
The whole section should be removed, given the lyrics quoted are incorrect. The correct lyrics can be seen here [1] Sasaki 10:34, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Its not just the song that caused controversy but the entire depiction of the indians, who were portrayed and slouching, half-naked men with cherry-red skin. The stereotypical "how" and "ugg" are just a part of it. 68.44.251.120 18:43, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Until there is specific evidence that Walt Disney's Peter Pan has caused any actual "controversy", I feel this should be left out of the article. The depiction of Native Americans in the film and the song "What Made the Red Man Red" are arguably offensive, but Wikipedia is neutral and one's personal opinion about such things don't belong. Another Disney film, Song of the South, has never been released on video or DVD in the United States because of the racial controversy it has drawn; Peter Pan, on the other hand, has been released multiple times with no such widespread reaction.

Look here, yes there has been reactions to the song and depiction of Indians, and it was even questionable if the DVD 2002's release was ever going to happen. Kevin j 16:29, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Image:Joining The Pirates.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

[edit] Songs list

I removed the song "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life For Me)" from the songs list and replaced it with "The Elegant Captain Hook", which was not on the list beforehand and belonged in that spot. "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life For Me)" is actually the theme song of the Pirates of the Caribbean attraction in the various Disney parks and has nothing to do with the film Peter Pan, although it is similar to another song from that movie, "A Pirate's Life", which remains on the list with its correct title and spot in the songs' order in the film. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Placeandtime (talkcontribs) 17:39, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tiger Lily's Voice?

There's no voice actress listed for Tiger Lily, even though she does have one word of dialogue ("Help!") Lee M (talk) 04:59, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

That's probably because she's not credited in the film. -JasonAQuest (talk) 13:20, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
OK... but does anyone know? Lee M (talk) 17:30, 17 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] NPOV Says Yes, the Portrayal of Indians in Peter Pan is Regarded As Controversy

Historians have regarded this, and it is reliable therefore. It's been over a year since I mentioned it, but now it is time to bring the Controversy section back. Placeandtime, if you've come back to discuss this, no it is a neutral fact that there is controversy.Kevin j (talk) 18:05, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
