PETER PAN || pure magic, pixie dust and the real mermaids of neverland

BDE||big disney energy

Tyler and guest Nikki Blue (@ Chicago based resident AEA stage manager at The Goodman Theatre) sit down to chat about their all time fav Disney film. listen, first and foremost this film is PROBLEMATIC—so much of this film has us asking questions about how this was ever made. The highs are so high and the lows are so low. And yet, it is filled with pixie dust, some of the best and most classic animation in the entire canon, and the hottest fairy around. Also Peter Pan is a total narcissist, and is like the ex boyfriend we all try to forget—like how DARE call Wendy a dumb girl?! her bow is perfection, her sweet nightgown she wears as a dress, HER PERFECT CURLS?? ICONIC. Peter pan is secretly the worst, but we show up time and time again not for him but for our queens Nana, Tink and Wendy—and also smee. Never forget about smee. Magical music by Eric Backus.
