I reminded about this when I started finding older movies on Netflix and Disney+ so I just started searching on here and I almost cried I was so happy! One of my absolute favourites as a kid ❤️
Is it crazy that 33 year old me is watching this in complete awe with an instant sense of nostalgia? What a phenomenal performance, especially given the time period. About 30 years ago 3 year old me would have this on repeat and haven’t seen it in about that time as well. Me being able to vividly remember some of these scenes is absolutely unreal. What’s even cooler is that there’s actually people out here who literally have the same reminiscent past, shout outs to all of you! I gotta watch this with my mom just for the cause...and yes I clapped even now for tinker bell, it would just be extremely rude not to.
My Mother recorded this with our VCR when I was little kid and it aired on television. From then on I was hooked (pun intended 😂). Watched it everyday. This play was my childhood. Thank you for posting 💕💖💕
What a treasure! We had this on VHS, and I watched this with my kids 100 times, that was well over 30 years ago!! What a joy to find it and watch it again, after so many years!!! ✨💖✨
I'm with both of you. I'm almost and 40. The only difference is I had more than one VHS copy of this. I still have it. Something we need to share with our younger generation.
Had this on VHS as a kid I remember me and my brother watching it on bunk bed hundreds of times I don't remember the last time I saw it but I feel like I remember everything about this movie
Omg I can't believe this is on RUclips!!! Whenever I couldn't sleep at night, my mother would warm up some milk and put this movie on. Brought me so much joy and comfort then and brings me so much comfort and joy now. Thank you so much for posting this!!
Born 1985. I grew up watching this on a VHS. I remember it had all the commercial breaks with ads for Campbell's Soup, Doublemint Gum(with the twins), and Raisin Bran. It might have even had an ad for the Broadway Production of "Into The Woods" unless I'm confusing that with another taped thing we had.
I don't know what it is, but this is the most magical and enchanting version of Peter Pan I have ever seen. Growing up, I watched this so many times, the film came off the cassette reel numerous times. It's like impossible to find on dvd, which is a real shame. I don't think my inner child will ever leave, due to the frequency of which I saw this.
My neighbors, who are practically my grandparents, had this on VHS. I was obsessed with Peter Pan and watched it all the time when they babysat me. I’m 22 now and it’s very nostalgic for me and brings back the fondest memories, thank you for uploading.
My grandmother passed when I was 5. And I can still remember when i was about 3 or 4, being at her house and she had this movie. And I remember it being my most favorite. But when she died, I rarely ever went back to her house. I can't remember the last time I was there. But, when I saw this vid, it brought back a glorious memory of love and peace. Thank you for uploading this. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
My grandparents had it on VHS as well in the early 90s. I watched it dozens of times and my grandma made me a Captain Hook costume. I'm 31 and luckily she is still with us but quickly losing her mind. My grandfather lost his mind and passed away in 2013. Very hard to see that happen to such brilliant amazing people but I am very lucky to have enjoyed my time with them as long as I have. That's very sad that you lost them so young
My childhood. My brother and I fell over many many times trying to do that leaning dance effect during the introduction of Tiger Lilly and the indians 💚
This was one of my most frequent VHS rentals from Blockbuster as a child. I watched it dozens of times, and then bought it on eBay on VHS as an adult! Mary Martin will ALWAYS be the best Peter Pan and (if you don't count the clear racism with Tiger Lily and her tribe) this version is a classic!! "Oh My Mysterious Lady" has always been my favorite song. Who CANNOT LOVE Mary Martin taking a tambourine out of a tree and making the pirates dance as they chase her?! 🤣👍❤ RIP Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard!
Such fond memories of watching this as a child. I only ever watched this version - never the Walt Disney animation. Nothing holds a candle to this production.
So lucky to grown up with Mary Martin as Peter Pan, what a spirit. Lovely to see again. I needed that innocence and wonderful spirit. Thank you so much for uploading.
I've definitely thought about this from time to time over the years. It must've been on tv at some point in the 90s bc my parents had taped it on vhs and we watched it all the time. This is the first time I've seen it since I was little and it's crazy being taken back in time like that.
I watched this video religiously in the early 90s. My mom had told me stories of how she watched the broadcast on tv when she was a kid, and her mom, my grandma, made her go to bed after Wendy and the boys were captured because it was late at night and she was 6. I just was fascinated with it. It’s just so wonderful. I wish I had had a chance to see Mary Martin live. That would’ve been unreal
Outstanding entertainment and much more. My elementary students were fascinated with this production, each and every child screaming: "I do believe in fairies!" It brings a tear to my eye just to think about it.
WOW! I haven't seen this in years. I couldn't find my copy of the movie. Please don't ever delete this. I've been looking all over for it today. And now that I've found it on here, I want to keep on watching it. So please don't ever delete this. I deeply appereciate it.
I was given the original cast recording of this when I was a child. I loved it so much, listened to it over and over. Never seen the actual production until now. I'm getting goosebumps! A wonderful magical performance.
OMG! I was utterly mesmerized by this broadcast as a six year old! I have not seen it in it's entirety since. I'll be sharing Mary's magic with my grandchildren this Christmas. Thank you for posting.
I have this on VHS ... part of my Mom’s collection . Now that I’m a Granny I’m gonna break out the VHS player and movie and invite my grand kids over ... they get mesmerized when I know the songs .. lol. I think they will love I WONT GROW UP .
This brought up so many memories. My grandma had this on vhs and my brother and I would watch it as kids in the early 2000s all the time. I had no idea it was from 1960! My brother has since passed away from suicide and I’d give anything to watch this with him right now. We would look for the wires when they were flying and we would always do that hand shadow thing. So nostalgic. I can’t believe I found this. I wish he was here to see this again 💔
I watched this as a child in the 1980s. Amazing that it still has magic for me. Back when they had no CGI or computer graphics they were still able to create the Wonderment. Goes to show you that it's about the writers, the actors, and the people who work on the film that make something valuable. Wish some things today were as valuable as they were then, not just lazy money making franchizes, but real art. Back when people could still sing dance and act. There are some now but not many.
I saw this on TV as a kid. The wires for the actors to fly were clearly visible; they're now digitally removed. But even with the wires visible, it's still wonderful: Mary Martin does a great job as Peter Pan. Sandy Duncan and Cathy Rigby are good, but the role belongs to Ms.Martin.
Daaaang my brother and I used to watch this all the time as kids. We had it on VHS; looking back it was probably our mom’s movie. I remember there being a Rasinets ad before the feature among others. That’s how I got here actually lol my bf handed me a box of Raisinets and I was like you know what?? 🤣 I haven’t thought about this movie in so long. I’m kinda glad I found it on here LOL
I love the little hints before they go to Neverland as well as after Wendy's grown up that the adults want the opportunity to feel like children again. Father complains he never gets coddled, and men in this time period were definitly missing an emotional connection that they desperately needed. And Wendy wants to go back to Neverland because of the wonderful carefree adventures she had in her youth. Adults want to go too! We want to feel like children again from time to time and put aside the cares of real life!
About 9:25, one of, if not THE, most thrilling entrance in Broadway history. Mary Martin will forever be Peter Pan, the greatest Peter Pan. She was a remarkable talent, a true legend, and a lovely lady. I miss her daily.
so i'm a child of the 80s they played this in 86 or 88 sometime then and my mom taped it off TV I LOVE THIS...... i just recently bought the VHS because the DVD cost way to much......I still know the songs and parts of the dance because I used to sing and dance to it as a child. I will always love this version and i wish they would release it on blu ray if they can. many people my age remember this version but only in the early or late 30s when i talk to people younger than me they have no idea what I am talking about. I love this play and always will.
This is a lot funnier watching it as an adult. EDIT: MY 37 YEAR OLD SISTER JUST NOW REALIZED THAT CAPTAIN HOOK AND THE FATHER ARE THE SAME MAN I'M DYING.
I watched this in the 90s when I was a little kid and I just decided to pull it up and when he walked in that was the first thing that I thought but I wasn't sure haha that's funny
Oh my gosh!! I can't believe this is on RUclips! I've been searching for this video FOR EVER!! I remember watching this on VHS when I was a child. Thank you so much for uploading!! The nostalgia is REAL! 😄🎭🎬⏯📼🍿
I remember watching this on VHS when I was a little girl (maybe around four or five.... I don't really remember) before I even saw the Disney version and I absolutely loved it. Now, I'm twenty-four and the fond memories of my childhood are coming back to me. I suddenly remembered the musical number "I Won't Grow Up" as I was laying in bed one night and it got stuck in my head for a whole week or two after.... then I thought of how great the part where Peter asks children all around the world if they believed in fairies and to clap their hands to bring Tinker Bell back from the brink of death impacted me. It was so magical to me. I'm so happy to finally have found this version.
I have this on VHS. Watched it many times as a kid. I probably need a new/clean VCR so I can watch it on tape again. So happy to have found it here too.
Omg, same here! My parents recorded it from the TV on to a VHS tape... I seriously couldn’t even begin count the number of times I watched it, not even if you offered me $1M! LOL! This was the only version of Peter Pan I had ever known as a kid.. I never watched the Disney one or any others. I was so excited to find this version here on RUclips tho!. Talk about nostalgia overload!
I had this on VHS! My mother taped it for us in the late 80s, maybe early 90s. I think they used to air this around Easter time because our VHS copy has a lot of Cadbury Easter egg and bunny commercials. She taped it for us because she watched it as a kid when this aired in color in 1960 (I think that was the year). Ahhh the memories! I used to watch this all the time!
Hollie's Heavenly Angels Yes exactly! Do you remember the V8 commercial where everyone is walking sideways? As a kid that commercial always made me laugh! Lol
YES! So many nostalgic commercials on that copy - Cadbury, Osh Kosh B’Gosh, Peter Pan peanut butter, double mint gum - so wild that someone else shares the same exact memory! 😅
I am falling asleep to to Tender Shepard tonight and I am more sleepy than I have been since the accident. My Childhood is flooding in. I had this on VHS i remember now, it's so vivid how did I forget?
I had it as well. I think I probably still do somewhere. All I remember is every commercial break there was a commercial for soup and I'm trying so hard to find it but it's been so long I can't remember exactly what happened. I remember them comparing the amount of noodles they had in their soup or some shit like that haha
Omg! I have been talking about this movie FOREVER, and NOBODY knew what I was talking about! And couldn't even find it on google because I couldn't remember who played peter pan, or hardly anything about it. My husband thought I was nuts. Lol. Thank you so much for posting it.
Oh my god! My sister and I used to watch my grandmama’s VHS recording of this every holiday or night we spent at her house 💜 going to break this out at thanksgiving this year to see my grandmama’s reaction! 😊
Sophon Photirut she couldn’t get over the fact that me and my sister still remembered this film :) she didn’t cry but she had tears in her eyes for sure. How incredibly sweet of you to ask for an update!
Im 26 but i used to watch this sooo much as a kid. This has got to be my fave peter man movie made and holy crap was it hard to find it! I remembered it but the net was no help, thankfully i had a coworker who knew what pp had females as peter. Thats the only detail i remember from when my mom told me when i was maybe 6!
We know it's a woman playing Peter, but it's weird if you think about a preadolescent boy pretending to be a lady. I guess you could say it's a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman.
I was 10 yrs old in 1955 and watched this version in black and white. I now have a dvd of the original black and white version. Doesnt look as good as the color version, but if my mother was alive she would enjoy this. My dvd also has the commercials that were on the telecast atthe time. It had quite an effect on me at the time, thoroughly enjoyed it then and now.

Wow, I watched this on VHS a million times when I was a kid. I can’t believe I forgot about it until now
MrGrimlocke I did with my grandparents on my father’s side before they passed away
Same lol
Same! This is my FAVORITE
I reminded about this when I started finding older movies on Netflix and Disney+ so I just started searching on here and I almost cried I was so happy! One of my absolute favourites as a kid ❤️
Me too!!!
Of all the Peter Pan's, that have come before, or have yet to be, none ever flew through the window, better than Mary Martin.
Do you know what 2000 same thing as 60s made into making movie made by the way
Try watching Peter Pan starring Kathy Rigby, it's wonderful !
I watched this on TV when I was 5 years old. It was live TV as I recall. I am now 71. This is special to me, very Special.
The BEST rendition of this play. There will never be another Peter Pan other than Mary Martin.
Is it crazy that 33 year old me is watching this in complete awe with an instant sense of nostalgia? What a phenomenal performance, especially given the time period. About 30 years ago 3 year old me would have this on repeat and haven’t seen it in about that time as well. Me being able to vividly remember some of these scenes is absolutely unreal. What’s even cooler is that there’s actually people out here who literally have the same reminiscent past, shout outs to all of you! I gotta watch this with my mom just for the cause...and yes I clapped even now for tinker bell, it would just be extremely rude not to.
I'm 36 and just watched it with the same sense of nostalgia!
Same here! I'm 29& I can't believe I remember the lyrics to each song (well sorta lol) 😍
I’m 31 and I watched it when I was little too because my parents had it on VHS. I definitely share the same feelings about it that you do for sure.
I am 71 and I still remember this movie!!! Enjoyed it then and now!!!!
My Mother recorded this with our VCR when I was little kid and it aired on television. From then on I was hooked (pun intended 😂). Watched it everyday. This play was my childhood. Thank you for posting 💕💖💕
Same here. Then my mom recorded over it with All My Children and my childhood was ruined 😂
Kelley Mccachren
In about 1989 my mommy recorded this on VHS too. When it played on NBC.
Same here!! I literally cried when I moved, unpacked and found it. Lol I was so happy
Did your version also have the Peter Pan peanut butter and the Oshkosh B’gosh commercials???
Mine did! Lol
Im 23 years old and i still clap with tears streaming down my face to save tinkerbell
16, watched this with my grandma as a toddler, and there’s still a little part of me that’s afraid of Captain Hook 😂😭
What a treasure! We had this on VHS, and I watched this with my kids 100 times, that was well over 30 years ago!! What a joy to find it and watch it again, after so many years!!!
✨💖✨
I'm almost 40 and we had this on VHS when I was a kid. Practically wore out the tape because I watched it so much.
I'm with both of you. I'm almost and 40. The only difference is I had more than one VHS copy of this. I still have it. Something we need to share with our younger generation.
Still Enjoying this July 2019 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
ThatStageManager I am in August
Haha me too
@@jojojovia2991 I watched it in 2018.
What a thrill to finally find this! It has never left my mind, even after 60 years! Thank you from me and my childhood imaginary friend Tink ♥️♥️
Had this on VHS as a kid I remember me and my brother watching it on bunk bed hundreds of times I don't remember the last time I saw it but I feel like I remember everything about this movie
Me too, I forgot about to until just niw
This came out in 1960???!!! When I was a kid watching it in the 90s I never knew that lol
Same bro
Had no clue, I had it on vhs in the 90s and just considered this was peter pan
This is the Peter Pan I watched as a kid ❤️❤️ I looked forever for this 😂
Do you remember A Nutcracker Fantasy, "The Ragman"?
What an odd movie for a kid in the 90s to have on tape, but I had it and watched it hundreds of times
Omg I can't believe this is on RUclips!!! Whenever I couldn't sleep at night, my mother would warm up some milk and put this movie on. Brought me so much joy and comfort then and brings me so much comfort and joy now. Thank you so much for posting this!!
Holy crap. This is my childhood. I remember my brother and I being so obsessed with this film growing. I'm 31 now. My goodness the memories.
Nobody could ever BE Peter Pan like Miss Mary Martin.
Thank you Mary Martin for playing Peter Pan you will always have a place in my heart
Born 1985. I grew up watching this on a VHS. I remember it had all the commercial breaks with ads for Campbell's Soup, Doublemint Gum(with the twins), and Raisin Bran. It might have even had an ad for the Broadway Production of "Into The Woods" unless I'm confusing that with another taped thing we had.
I was also born in ‘85...and oddly remember this as well.
I don't know what it is, but this is the most magical and enchanting version of Peter Pan I have ever seen. Growing up, I watched this so many times, the film came off the cassette reel numerous times. It's like impossible to find on dvd, which is a real shame. I don't think my inner child will ever leave, due to the frequency of which I saw this.
OMG! I never thought I see this again in 2019! 😍😍 I would watch this in VHS when I was a child in the late 90's. So much memorys.
Best ever. 35 years old and my two kids are with their grandmom and I’m watching this alone !
The elementary school I attended in the 60's in Los Angeles was able to have Mary Martin come to our scholl and do a short performance Was great
My neighbors, who are practically my grandparents, had this on VHS. I was obsessed with Peter Pan and watched it all the time when they babysat me. I’m 22 now and it’s very nostalgic for me and brings back the fondest memories, thank you for uploading.

My childhood. My brother and I fell over many many times trying to do that leaning dance effect during the introduction of Tiger Lilly and the indians 💚
YES!!!
My sister and I did the same thing in the mirror 🤣😂🤣😂🤣
swamp lady tiger lilly
I was born in 2006 but I grew up with this
This was one of my most frequent VHS rentals from Blockbuster as a child. I watched it dozens of times, and then bought it on eBay on VHS as an adult! Mary Martin will ALWAYS be the best Peter Pan and (if you don't count the clear racism with Tiger Lily and her tribe) this version is a classic!! "Oh My Mysterious Lady" has always been my favorite song. Who CANNOT LOVE Mary Martin taking a tambourine out of a tree and making the pirates dance as they chase her?! 🤣👍❤ RIP Mary Martin and Cyril Ritchard!
It's hard to believe she was almost 50 when they did this
Such fond memories of watching this as a child. I only ever watched this version - never the Walt Disney animation. Nothing holds a candle to this production.
So lucky to grown up with Mary Martin as Peter Pan, what a spirit. Lovely to see again. I needed that innocence and wonderful spirit. Thank you so much for uploading.

Julie Delahooke I was raised in the 2000’s and I even watched this one, this is how I remember Peter Pan
I’m getting old as a baby boomer who grew up on Mary Martin, Gleason and Howdy Doody!
I'd forgotten all about this version glad my memory brought it back
Outstanding entertainment and much more. My elementary students were fascinated with this production, each and every child screaming: "I do believe in fairies!" It brings a tear to my eye just to think about it.
I was so obsessed with this movie as a child!! Now I am showing it to my 6 year old daughter. Thanks so much!!
i loved it to as well.
WOW! I haven't seen this in years. I couldn't find my copy of the movie. Please don't ever delete this. I've been looking all over for it today. And now that I've found it on here, I want to keep on watching it. So please don't ever delete this. I deeply appereciate it.
Download it to be safe
I haven’t seen this since it first came out in B/W .
Aw i rember i used to have this on vhs when i was little and i would watch it all the time ah the memories of a simplier time
I was given the original cast recording of this when I was a child. I loved it so much, listened to it over and over. Never seen the actual production until now. I'm getting goosebumps! A wonderful magical performance.
Thank God the tape was saved, and not erased. This is television magic!!!
OMG! I was utterly mesmerized by this broadcast as a six year old! I have not seen it in it's entirety since. I'll be sharing Mary's magic with my grandchildren this Christmas. Thank you for posting.
I watched this every Christmas Eve as a child 💜
#2020 oh how I looked for you. Such a timeless childhood memory!
I have this on VHS ... part of my Mom’s collection . Now that I’m a Granny I’m gonna break out the VHS player and movie and invite my grand kids over ... they get mesmerized when I know the songs .. lol. I think they will love I WONT GROW UP .
I'm 38. But I remember when NBC showed this again when I was super young. Loved this, still do
This brought up so many memories. My grandma had this on vhs and my brother and I would watch it as kids in the early 2000s all the time. I had no idea it was from 1960! My brother has since passed away from suicide and I’d give anything to watch this with him right now. We would look for the wires when they were flying and we would always do that hand shadow thing. So nostalgic. I can’t believe I found this. I wish he was here to see this again 💔
I watched this as a child in the 1980s. Amazing that it still has magic for me. Back when they had no CGI or computer graphics they were still able to create the Wonderment. Goes to show you that it's about the writers, the actors, and the people who work on the film that make something valuable. Wish some things today were as valuable as they were then, not just lazy money making franchizes, but real art. Back when people could still sing dance and act. There are some now but not many.
It's how I feel, and my high school did Peter Pan one year I was there in the 90's. Great memories.
I saw this on TV as a kid. The wires for the actors to fly were clearly visible; they're now digitally removed. But even with the wires visible, it's still wonderful: Mary Martin does a great job as Peter Pan. Sandy Duncan and Cathy Rigby are good, but the role belongs to Ms.Martin.
holy hell I had this on VHS when I was young. Literally watching this for the first time since I was probably 9.
ME TOO,
2019 and this version still holds up ❤️
When I was little I never saw the wires and truly believed I could too fly like these actors. Lol This was my favorite when I was 5
I used to climb up three stairs and jump off pretending to be Peter Pan at the same age. The best memories.
My Mom took me to see Mary Martin stage production of Peter Pan in the 1950's in Mpls, MN. This is so sweet to watch! Thank you
You saw Mary Martin live?? Oh I bet that was incredible!!
Please never ever ever ever take this down
Daaaang my brother and I used to watch this all the time as kids. We had it on VHS; looking back it was probably our mom’s movie. I remember there being a Rasinets ad before the feature among others. That’s how I got here actually lol my bf handed me a box of Raisinets and I was like you know what?? 🤣 I haven’t thought about this movie in so long. I’m kinda glad I found it on here LOL
THE RASINETS !!! god this movie was my first introduction to the theatre and recently it popped back into my mind. Im a theatre student now!
I'm not crying, you're crying. ✨♥
Absolutely loved this!!! I have been looking for it on DVD
I was 8 years old and I till remember this to this day.
This was my movie growing up ❤️
I love the little hints before they go to Neverland as well as after Wendy's grown up that the adults want the opportunity to feel like children again. Father complains he never gets coddled, and men in this time period were definitly missing an emotional connection that they desperately needed. And Wendy wants to go back to Neverland because of the wonderful carefree adventures she had in her youth. Adults want to go too! We want to feel like children again from time to time and put aside the cares of real life!
About 9:25, one of, if not THE, most thrilling entrance in Broadway history. Mary Martin will forever be Peter Pan, the greatest Peter Pan. She was a remarkable talent, a true legend, and a lovely lady. I miss her daily.
I had the clamshell vhs with the rasinettes commercial in the beginning I would put this on to go to bed. Love this so much
Me too! We wore out our VHS and found another copy at a Goodwill store and I was so happy. Lol
so i'm a child of the 80s they played this in 86 or 88 sometime then and my mom taped it off TV I LOVE THIS...... i just recently bought the VHS because the DVD cost way to much......I still know the songs and parts of the dance because I used to sing and dance to it as a child. I will always love this version and i wish they would release it on blu ray if they can. many people my age remember this version but only in the early or late 30s when i talk to people younger than me they have no idea what I am talking about. I love this play and always will.
Me too! Glad to have found this
My grandmother gave both me and my sister a VHS tape of this when we were kids. The feels, man, the feels.
This is a lot funnier watching it as an adult.
EDIT: MY 37 YEAR OLD SISTER JUST NOW REALIZED THAT CAPTAIN HOOK AND THE FATHER ARE THE SAME MAN I'M DYING.
I watched this in the 90s when I was a little kid and I just decided to pull it up and when he walked in that was the first thing that I thought but I wasn't sure haha that's funny
Me too lol
OH MY GOD HOLY SHIT YOUVE CHANGED MY LIFE
Oh my gosh!! I can't believe this is on RUclips! I've been searching for this video FOR EVER!! I remember watching this on VHS when I was a child. Thank you so much for uploading!! The nostalgia is REAL! 😄🎭🎬⏯📼🍿
Diana Wackrow same here. ♥️
We didn’t have VHS in my home. We had a simple b/w TV. I was happy!
I watched this soooo much as a little girl. In the 90s. I love this. I'm definitely watching it right now
I remember watching this on VHS when I was a little girl (maybe around four or five.... I don't really remember) before I even saw the Disney version and I absolutely loved it. Now, I'm twenty-four and the fond memories of my childhood are coming back to me.

SweetCierra95 Same here! I would watch this at my grandparents’ house all the time. Mary Martin will always be my Peter Pan.
yes! im 20 now :'((((((( this was my childhoooooooooooooood
I have this on VHS. Watched it many times as a kid. I probably need a new/clean VCR so I can watch it on tape again. So happy to have found it here too.
This brings back so many fond memories, especially the music!
Wowwww I used to watch this on VHS over and over as a kid!!!! Honestly watching it now it’s kinda weird 😂 but nostalgic!!!
Omg, same here! My parents recorded it from the TV on to a VHS tape... I seriously couldn’t even begin count the number of times I watched it, not even if you offered me $1M! LOL! This was the only version of Peter Pan I had ever known as a kid.. I never watched the Disney one or any others. I was so excited to find this version here on RUclips tho!. Talk about nostalgia overload!
Watching again after 34 yrs...first time i saw it i was 4yrs old
OMG exactly the same for me! It doesn't seem the same now that I'm an adult, sad to say :(
I watch this as a child when it would come on Television 📺
used to watch this as a kid with my brother in the late 80s. so strange watching it now. so much nostalgia.
I absolutely loved this movie!!! I used to know every single word from Hooks songs
As a child of the 50s this was magical
I had this on VHS! My mother taped it for us in the late 80s, maybe early 90s. I think they used to air this around Easter time because our VHS copy has a lot of Cadbury Easter egg and bunny commercials. She taped it for us because she watched it as a kid when this aired in color in 1960 (I think that was the year). Ahhh the memories! I used to watch this all the time!
staytus Me too! My parents taped it in the 80’s at Easter time. Definitely! So many great memories 🥰
Hollie's Heavenly Angels Yes exactly! Do you remember the V8 commercial where everyone is walking sideways? As a kid that commercial always made me laugh! Lol
staytus OMG yes I do! 😂 lol They really had the best shows and commercials back then 🤗
I watched the heck out of our recording of it, too. The film came off the reel, a few times. Lol
YES! So many nostalgic commercials on that copy - Cadbury, Osh Kosh B’Gosh, Peter Pan peanut butter, double mint gum - so wild that someone else shares the same exact memory! 😅
I watched this as a child in color back in the sixties. Every year they would show it. I love every minute.
Because of this I've never watched another version of this...Thank You For Posting
ThatStageManager I never knew there was another version until I was like 12 haha!
I am falling asleep to to Tender Shepard tonight and I am more sleepy than I have been since the accident. My Childhood is flooding in. I had this on VHS i remember now, it's so vivid how did I forget?
thank you for posting this GEM!!
I loved this as a child, and now my children love it. Sadly we lost the VHS. Thank you so much for posting this! We can enjoy it again!
I had it as well. I think I probably still do somewhere. All I remember is every commercial break there was a commercial for soup and I'm trying so hard to find it but it's been so long I can't remember exactly what happened. I remember them comparing the amount of noodles they had in their soup or some shit like that haha
It is available on DVD now...
I remember when this came out on TV. It was fascinating! Still is.
My grandma had this on VHS and I watched it every ti.e I came to her house! I'm so happy to see it again
Thank you for posting this I used to watch this as a kid such memories
Brings tears to my eyes every time I watch it.
Man I love watching this movie when I was a boy. I don't remember the last time I watch this. It had to be the early 90's
Confession: sometimes when I leave a glass of water out I think Captain Hook poisoned it when I wasn’t looking.
Omg! I have been talking about this movie FOREVER, and NOBODY knew what I was talking about! And couldn't even find it on google because I couldn't remember who played peter pan, or hardly anything about it. My husband thought I was nuts. Lol. Thank you so much for posting it.
Mary Martin is a legend.
Thanks for sharing this. My siblings and I used to reenact the scenes when we were young. We didn't this time but thank you for this treat!
I watched this growing up in the 1980s. I had no idea this was made in 1960!
Oh my god! My sister and I used to watch my grandmama’s VHS recording of this every holiday or night we spent at her house 💜 going to break this out at thanksgiving this year to see my grandmama’s reaction! 😊
Natalie King Update what happened to your grandma.
Sophon Photirut she couldn’t get over the fact that me and my sister still remembered this film :) she didn’t cry but she had tears in her eyes for sure. How incredibly sweet of you to ask for an update!
Bless you x a million for posting this! This just made my year!
It’s my childhood movie I love the songs
Im 26 but i used to watch this sooo much as a kid. This has got to be my fave peter man movie made and holy crap was it hard to find it! I remembered it but the net was no help, thankfully i had a coworker who knew what pp had females as peter. Thats the only detail i remember from when my mom told me when i was maybe 6!
Amazing I watched this on my VHS when i was a little kid. I never knew this came out in the 50’s .
Wow I use to rent this a lot back in the day glad to see it posted on RUclips.
Thanks Jason for uploading!
THANK YOU SO MUCH for uploading this!!!
“It’s a lady! It’s a beautiful lady!”
We know it's a woman playing Peter, but it's weird if you think about a preadolescent boy pretending to be a lady. I guess you could say it's a woman pretending to be a man pretending to be a woman.
I loved this version as a kid! Watching it now!
I was 10 yrs old in 1955 and watched this version in black and white. I now have a dvd of the original black and white version. Doesnt look as good as the color version, but if my mother was alive she would enjoy this. My dvd also has the commercials that were on the telecast atthe time. It had quite an effect on me at the time, thoroughly enjoyed it then and now.
Hahahahaahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
I was 6 in 1955 and can’t believe I found this by accident! What a treasure!
