Actually Nonnie, Dr. Whale ending up as Peter Pan wouldn’t surprise me. While Dr. Frankenstein is still my first choice, and I’ve hoped that Bae would end up as Peter (though Jack is looking more likely these days), I’ve also posted about the possibility of him being Peter Pan on another thread, earlier this month. (I’ve copied and pasted it below). It sure goes along with your train of thought Nonnie.
Now I know I’ve been on Dr. Whale being Dr. Frank for quite some time now and have posted tons of stuff about it based on research Gypsy and I have done. I’ve also been theorizing about Bae being Peter Pat since last Feb and have posted about that. Still my top theories and hoping to see them realized, however, here’s the thing about Dr. Whale being Peter Pan. It wouldn’t surprise me as there are lots of clues that can lead one in that direction.
1) Peter was could never be physically touched. The ladies loved Peter (Wendy, Tiger Lllly & Tinkerbell). How ironic that Dr. Whale is the one crazy about the ladies?
2) The Greek God Pan could be quite lecherous. Sound like Dr. Whale? God complex?
3) Peter was always the victor against hook. He also felt misunderstood as no one understood why he didn’t ever want to grow up.
4) Inflated sense of self. Well in the broadway musical, there is a song titled I’ve Gotta Crow. In it, he’s boasting about how wonderful he is.
5) In the movie Finding Neverland, J.M. Barrie says to a young Peter Llewelyn, “Write about your family, write about the talking whale” “What whale?” “The one that is trapped in your imagination and desperate to get out”.
6) He did seem like a young adolescent when asking if nuns date, did he not?
7) Disney is planning on re-releasing Peter Pan and recently did a poll asking people which rock singer best suited Peter Pan. The answer? You guessed it, Sting. (dating video listens to sting).
Have a few more things that sort of tie him in to Peter Pan, but you can see where I’m going with this. While the recent promo certainly points to Dr. Franky (thrilled about that!!!) we know that previous promos did the same thing pointed to August potentially being Bae. Can’t really trust the promo.
Important note though. His parents wanted him to be a Judge and not a Doctor. As for the copyright issues, I don’t think they were lying as there were many factors involved. There were copy rights to the first book Little White Bird, copy rights to the other books, copy rights to the script and copy rights to the musical stage play. The latter will not have public domain, in the US, until 2013. So it all depends on what exactly K&H wished to use from the series of books, scripts & play and whether or not those character portrayals required approval. If that makes any sense.
