"Once upon a time": words we love so well.
Storytellers tell in words with wings,
Of maids and kings, and wondrous things.
Like a nursery rhyme, like a magic spell,
Every dream we weave is make-believe
That tugs the sleeve of time.
Tales we're told, bold and true,
Though we all grow old, stories never do.
I know why stories never die:
They just wait for children passing by.
Time to go to sleep,
Count your pretty sheep.
Dream a dream to keep tomorrow new.
Happy endings, too;
Hope your dreams come true.
Once upon a bedtime story, they do.
Of all the Peter Pan movies I've ever seen, this one comes the closest to the book!! Danny Kaye, my favorite actor!!!!

I never knew that I wanted to see Danny Kaye play Captain Hook until I found this.
STEPHEN STANDRING
It's such a shame there's no DVD of this! Danny Kaye as Hook is a treasure I didn't even know we needed

Oh my I knew I hadn't imagined this as a kid on the TV at Christmas. Lovely to stumble on this after all these years.
Such a charming movie, so helpful to go back to being a child without a care in the world. Whenever I'm too serious about life, I watch this movie. The song of Peter Pan "If I could have a song of my own" around the 47th minute is beautiful. Mia Farrow's acting is fabulous in that scene. And my favorite actor Danny Kaye is there!
I found the Peter Pan program with Mary Martin on RUclips a few days ago, that is the Peter Pan I grew up with.
I remember when I first heard that story and Wendy was young and beautiful.I am just like Peter and Refuse to grow old. Love Danny Kaye and Mia Farrow was a very good Peter. I always go on the Peter Pan ride whenever I go to Disneyland, ...no matter how old I am .....You're only as old as you want to be. Some day, we will ALL go to Never, Never Land and be with Peter and Tinkerbell. Peter and Tinkerbell are with us in our Hearts and will never die.
I remember seeing this version of Peter Pan on TV when I was very young and loved it, Mr Danny Kaye was absolutely brilliant as captain Hook, his GREAT performance just reels with pure evil with the hatred of Peter Pan, (the boy who never grows up,) the lyrics are extremely well written pure evil in one note and the story of Peter pan will continue to FOREVER be a beloved story all over the world. Peter Pan continues to be one of my favourite Stories, movie and show, I feel so truly blessed to have had the opportunity to perform in a musical version of Peter Pan in my performing Career with such a great cast. may we never grow up.
Danny Kaye is the reason why I came here :)

Emma Thomasson He was the best as the dentist on cosby show. He was hilarious.
They don't make 'em like him anymore.
@@anthonycat3886Great chattering chick-chicks! And he’s using the same British accent as Colonel Bunny from _Peter Cottontail_ as Mr. Darling, too.
I watched this show the only time it aired on Hallmark Hall of Fame. I've waited 42 years to see it in its entirety again. I waited even longer for the Mary Martin/Cyril Richard TV broadcast of the original Broadway cast version. I feel complete.
I saw this on NBC when I was 11 years old. It was never repeated. I know it was not well received, but we thought it was great at the time.
I know this comment is too old but l have to say that l, a teen, love it, l think that is wonderful.
Your sister from Spain,
Lina
One reason for the lack of repeats may be because of the licensing. J.M. Barrie bequeathed the rights of Peter Pan to Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital as a way to ensure income for the hospital for the valuable work they do. The hospital receives royalties for all stage productions, publications, audio adaptations and movies in perpetuity. The copyright ran out in Europe in 2017 but exists in the UK. It also still runs in the USA until 2023.
That is funny because l was watching it when your comment popped up.
Danny Kay's not bad, but Mia Farrow, is bad
@@violetbrown2372 yeahhh I wasnt much of a fan of this adaptation. The 1960s version is much better, I think Mary Martin played Peter a lot better.
I just love Danny Kaye !! There Know one Like Him !!
Oh I saw this TV special when I was a kid, I'm now in my 40s and it brings back so many happy memories watching it. Thank you.
bruh, my family recorded it for us.
Bring the Whole World 🌎 in ,
And so they did . Thank you for sharing. Two popcorns up
🍿🍿🥤
This movie is fun to watch the cast are great especially Danny kaye as captain Hook
And Nana is cute too
I think a lot of people are judging this on the film aspect- it gives me more of the feeling of a play being recorded? I love it, I love that it’s quirky. Mia Farrow’s voice is one of my favorites- not because it’s the best but because it’s different and strangely beautiful.
"Smee, let's flee for my life!" That's one of my favorite lines.
“Smee, let’s flee for my life!” That’s one of my favorite lines.
@@livingwithautism3789 why are you repeating the user’s comments?!
Holy crap! I remember this from my childhood! I never realized Mia Farrow and Danny Kaye was in this!!!
I remember this being the first show I taped with our first VHS tape VCR machine my dad bought! Then I started taping Donny & Marie shows! What fun the 70's were! Great times to remember! Wish they would put some of these shows on TV for this generation to enjoy too!
for me this is perfection. i thought it was lost - so glad it isn't
I cannot thank you enough for sharing this movie! In the school we'll display the 'Peter Pan - A Musical Adventure' and I will play the role of Cap'n James Hook! And Danny Kaye is my all-time-favourite actor! So, a perfect combo indeed! Thank you!!! :)
The mother song makes me cry every time
Boy, were they wrong. There was nothing wrong with make a new version, but there was no reason to abandon the great Leigh/Charlap & Comden/Green/Styne score.
The Leigh/Charlap & Comden/Green/Styne score was at least the THIRD "new version" of Peter Pan. I'm guessing, then, that you have not ever heard the second version that preceded the production starring Mary Martin by four years: the 1950 Broadway Revival of J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan: The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up; with a score by Leonard Bernstein; Music arranged by Trude Rittman; Music orchestrated by Hershy Kay; starring Jean Arthur as Peter Pan and Boris Karloff as M r. Darling/Captain Hook, Joe E. Marks as Smee, Nehemiah Persoff as Cecco (and Barbara Baxley as Peter Pan Understudy!)? This Bernstein/Arthur/Karloff version was the SEVENTH Broadway REVIVAL of Barrie's play, with incidental music and songs by Bernstein. Look for the album on RUclips. My favorite Bernstein song, which was NOT included in the 1950 revival, is the gorgeous, "Dream With Me", recorded later by Linda Eder.
@@timothysmith7888 The play with the Bernstein score was not a full musical, but a play with a few songs. The 1954 version was the first full-fledged musical version of Peter Pan, and by far the most well known. It is far superior to this mediocre score for the 1976 version. I would venture to say that if they had used the Leigh/Charlap & Comden/Green/Styne score, the 1976 version would not have faded away into obscurity.
I’m just seeing this for the first time. I grew up with Mary Martin so by 1976 I was pretty busy and not watching TV. It’s really something. Mia is awesome and Danny Kaye is my favourite actor. I have to watch it a few times to really absorb the songs since they are new to me. Of course I miss the songs from the 1955-60 versions but this is pretty special.
I saw this programme on the Finnish televison on the christmas of 1976, when I was eight years old. I thought I´d never see it again in my life. I looked for it on the RUclips many years ago. This is the piece of art that had the most profound impact on me when growing up.. I can´t thank you enough for posting this on the RUclips. I read the comments about the death of Briony McRoberts who played Wendy. I feel very sorry for her.
Remember this at Christmas of 76 too. I can't believe I'd ever see it again and thought I'd imagined it all those years ago. I thought it was lovely and had a great impact in me too. Happy days . Hooray for RUclips I say !!!
It is for me the same!!! I saw it when I was very young and after years I could not find it back and I also thought I imagined it!!!
So thank you for posting!!! ❤️ it brings back many happy feelings of me being young!
Me too. I was 8 living in Midland Texas.
I remember watching this nearly 50 years ago.
Back in the dark days of the 1970s it seemed so magical. I've only just rediscovered it
I've seen several NBC versions of Peter Pan, but I had no idea there was one with Danny Kaye. It was fun to hear songs that I've never heard before, save Danny Kaye as Hook is an absolute treat!!
Wait a minute, New Dream Peter Pan Movie Collection; 9 First Peter Pan Movies in VHS, 10 Second Peter Pan Movies in DVD, 2 Third Peter Pan Movies in Blu-Ray, and 4 Complete Collections of Peter Pan TV Series in Prime Video.
When he died, the world lost a great entertainer.
Remembering my youth days.
HOW BEAUTIFUL IS TO REMEMBER OUR DREAMS, AND HOW THEY COME TO OUR MIND TO BE ACCOMPLISHED WITH OUR SOUL. MYSELF FOR EXAMPLE IM PRODUCING THE FIRST CAT SERIE IN HISTORY, AND DRIVING FROM CHILE TO HOLLYWOOD ON AUGUST!!!
You don't mess with perfection. What were they thinking? No flying here.
How wonderful to see this!
I didn't see it fully when it was broadcast in 76...
My mother was very very strict, and even though this was a premiere, close to the holidays...
Under no circumstances was I allowed to stay up past my bedtime!!!
I was 10 years old at the time, and my bedtime was 7.00pm!!!!!!
The show began at 6.30pm, so I saw less than 30 mins because of the ad-break...
Never seen it until today :-)
So a thousand thanks for uploading!
Does anyone you know have the ATV production of The Little Match Girl from 1974, also starring Lynsey Baxter (Wendy's daughter Jane, at the end)
Very different from the Sarah Jessica Parker version!
Thank you again!
This needs to be redone on DVD
Thank you for uploading this, I’m a massive Danny Kaye fan
danny kaye is my favorite entertainer. I've always loved him and i always will!
Crikey! A very young Nicholas Lyndhurst playing one of the Lost Boys.
Peter Pan was made, at the ATV TV Elstree studios, Borehamwood, England by Lord Lew Grade. Who owned the company. At the time the pirate ship set, was the largest set, of its kind built in a UK TV studio.
Keith Howard I went and watched them film for a day, summer 1976. My dad was playing Smike the pirate (Joe Melia). It certainly was huge, that ship. I was 8, never forgot the song I saw them film...
I can't believe how many songs hook gets! I know Danny Kaye is famous
Oh yeah. "Don't Make Em Like Me Anymore" "By Hook or by Crook" and "Hall of Infamy". But doesn't Mia get four though?
Strange I seem to recall a second. But I am glad you found it and put it on here, I saved it as a favorite.
Thanks. And with the lovely Virginia McKenna as Mrs. Darling, and musical numbers staged by Michael Kidd.
HOW did I miss this? I love Danny Kaye!
This is the very first Peter Pan I watch (Yes, even before Disney's Peter Pan!) when I was young! Still watch in black & white TV (in my neighbor home house as we still couldn't afford a TV) in Singapore then, and Danny Kaye was always the Captain Hook I remembered! Glad to see it again after all this years! Thank for the posting!
STEPHEN STANDRING
Danny Kaye is certainly fun to watch. :)
They don't make 'em like him anymore.

When I was little I Cried for Wendy.
Thought I'd give this a chance. Even Danny Kaye can't save this one.
What I thought when I first saw it as a kid.
RIP Briony Mcroberts ( Wendy Darling) (1957-2013)
I wonder how old she was when she was in the film
@@jennynott3841 19
@@eamonclark4952 thank you
Someone said she was a grown woman. Do you know how old the other cast members were?
George Harris is one of the pirates. He also played Kingsley Shacklebolt in "Harry Potter".
The wonderful but tragic Briony McRoberts as Wendy Darling. 1976 was her year with this and the film Pink Panther Strikes Again then nothing for a very long time when I accidentally came across Take the High Road. This was only ever shown once in Australia too and getting a copy was nigh impossible for a very long time. Am thankful to the person posting. Briony is sadly missed by those who loved her
The woman playing mrs darling is lovely
Was trying to find this version for the past 20 years or so, thank you !
It would be totally awesome if this be possible on dvd 📀
One of the last of the original network TV musicals "for the whole family." TV audiences were getting too hip, and these specials were getting too expensive to produce; besides, cable was on its way to siphon off the A-list talent. It's a shame: TV was more fun back then. This particular "Peter Pan" is also less jolly and less brightly colored than '60s TV specials. Mia Farrow seems to tap more into Peter's sadness and loneliness than his joy. Also, by the '70s TV had lost its "innocence" and was dealing with contemporary social issues, so who still needed musical fairy tales anymore? (We did, but we didn't realize it at the time.)
Thanks so much... you made me a very happy man today!
It's shot on video tape instead of film. It gives the impression that it was originally done live, but it wasn't. I saw it when it first aired, and for years i thought it was Sandy Duncan who played Peter.
The King of Pop and I both grew up with the story during our childhoods! We were born in different decades, but we both share a love of this classic. Sadly my childhood crush, Michael Jackson, is no longer with us, but he's here in spirit. Now I have to enjoy the story for him. I can see why this was Michael Jackson's favorite childhood story and how he still loved it as an adult. I still do too! He named his ranch in California after Neverland from this story. I loved it when Peter and the children start to fly, I would have loved to do that! I would have dreams that Michael and I would pretend we would be flying with Peter and the Darling children! I love this version, and I plan to watch the full version of this as soon as school's out in a few weeks for me!
Seen this on dutch tv in 1976, loved it and still do.Thanks for posting it :).
Found a copy on dvd some years ago from someone who taped it on vhs (not very good quality) but happy with it.
It should be officially released on dvd i think.

Holy crap! I just had a vague memory about the shadow scene. Remembered the nylon thing and the soap, cant believe that was real. I don't know when I saw this but that part stuck in my memories.
Hallmark Hall of Fame really had quality offerings.Like many people I am disillusioned in the quality of what is available on American TV now.It seems to just be diluted & diluted-until an audience can't recognize quality anymore.Thank you for posting & keeping quality alive.PS:Got rid of cable TV years ago.
Thanks so much for the upload. I watched this on TV decades ago and it is wonderful to catch it again. More so when I also discovered Fiona Fullerton's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Great music in both. They just don't make musicals like these anymore.

Rosemary's baby grew up and this is the result.
The shadow effect is a fair effort for 70s TV. I almost forgot to notice Pan still had a real shadow.
Me three,he's spitting image of my dad who,passed,and both polish.xx
These songs should be memorable because they were written by Leslie Bricusse and Anthony Newley, the guys who did the songs for Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
They also did the songs for 'Scrooge' starring Albert Finney.
.....Among a treasure trove of singable classics, like 'Feeling Good', and of course......'Goldfinger'.
Even good/great songwriters can write mediocre songs.
@@entertainer1987 no...only Bricusse wrote the songs for " Scrooge"...like dr.Doolittle Newley had nothing to do with that score....Bricusse wrote lovely songs on his own...Newley not so much..
@@nondescript2892I agree.
I remembered that Walt Disney admired this statue and that was how he got his idea to make the animated version of Peter Pan. I also remembered that movie is on Disney plus and it's also in the program Once Upon a Studio.
"Better with you than without you" and "When we can fly" were amazing songs with amazing (for the time) scenes!
Better with You was nice. "When We Can Fly" is a bit tooo similar to "I'm Flying" I know a Peter Pan Musical isn't a unique concept. Heck before it premiered there was the 1904 Musical. But each Musical adaptations of Peter Pan all had different and unique songs. Don't get me wrong I love the Musical fine and it is more faithful to the original book but songs like "Love is a House" "When We Can Fly" and "Neverland" that Tigerlily sings are a little to copy-paste-ish to stand out as original songs. No the lyrics aren't the same but the concept behind each just screams the Mary Martin version. But that's more of nitpick. Its still overall a good Musical. For a tv film.
@@criminallyautistic8372 Those excellent terrible special effects, though! Reminds me so much of the Bugaloos intro!
Julie Andrews sang the opening song.
Yes, I thought so, but now I'm sure, thanks for clarifying it. Her voice is a once in a lifetime, so articulate, clear.
Sounds like Edelweiss to me!
I wish they would put this on DVD.
Thank you. That was wonderful.
I watched this the night it was broadcast. All I remember was how horrible it was. Perhaps I will watch it again and consider reevaluating it.
I love Wendy
"Remind me to have a scatter drill,Smee."
Toute mon enfance ❤️❤️❤️ Merci. Je ne pensais pas le revoir un jour. 🥰🥰🥰
Danny Kaye 😂❤️❤️❤️
Whenever Peter starts crying and someone asks him why he's crying, he always denies it. Why can't he face his feelings?
He doesn't want to admit his feelings
I immediately recognized Julie Andrews at the onset, what an awesome surprise!! After reading all the negative commentary, I have to say, this Newley & Bricusse version was surprisingly, and unexpectedly good. There are better, but compared to at least 12 other versions, both live and stage, that I've seen, it is remarkable.

Julie Andrews was in this? Which one was she?
@@joyunicycle She sang the song at the beginning. She's off-camera.
@@elizam729 Too bad because of the video quality its rather hard to hear her singing or make out what she's saying. At least the uploader put the lyrics of the song in the description
You honestly prefer this score to the 1954 Broadway score? Wow.
Briony McRoberts, who played Wendy, committed suicide three years ago. It was really sad. She had a long battle with anorexia and severe depression.
Very sad indeed, but also a very strange coincidence as Peter Llewellyn Davies (one of JM Barrie's boys who inspired the story of PETER PAN) committed suicide the exact same way. In 1960 he threw himself in front of a London subway train.
God bless her🙏🙏🙏
@@zigfried64 Did McRoberts throw herself against a train too? I thought it was an od.
No way
“Entertainer” do you consider that people might be watching this with their children or for nostalgia and comfort? A comment about suicide and depression, without a trigger warning is so selfish and badly thought-out on your part. People clicked this video to be uplifting and the first comment I saw at the top of the comments was yours. I am sad for the actress who passed away but sadder for people like you who have ZERO sensitivity.
I remember this from my childhood, hahah
This looks cool.
OMG this is AMAZING
very cool, thank you
Great Lynch film! Another one of his dual narratives of real life & dreams, and iconic Nightmare imagery with NaNa. 👌
Clap yer Hands-clap em and say ya believe-------
In a leter version, circa 1980s, I imagined John Hurt playing Captain Hook (and Mr. Darling).
It's Rodney from Only Fools and Horses ! From Lost Boys to Deliver Boy :)
Love it!
I am glad that you found this. I saw this back in 1976 (no, I won't tell you how old I was. LOLOLOLOLOLOL)
Wendy sees a strange boy in her bedroom and reacts so casually. In today's real world there would be a loud long screech.
En VF SVP c’est le seul Peter Pan qui m’a laissé des traces indélébiles
great music!!
I loved it
I like how they gave Starkey powdered gray hair. He should also have a tailcoat as well as a hat.
Nothing surpasses the 1955 telecast followed by the 1960 color recorded telecast, mary martin, sondra lee are legends.
AMEN .....and that goes for Miss Martin's performance as Maria in 'The Sound of Music'.
The girl who played Wendy's daughter Jane is the beautiful Lynsey Baxter
This Peter Pan musical is one of the treasures of my youth. I recorded it on tape of my soundrecorder and listened to it over and over again. It was never officially released on dvd, although this recording was released on dvd long before internet was launched. I don't think it was ever performed later, which is a pity, because it was really an excellent performance by everyone.
Perfect role for Mia,,,,,we all know she loves lots of kids
And Julie Andrews singing the intro.💗
Briony McRoberts
La encantadora voz de Julie Andrews
I had no idea this version existed.
Bad marks: The noise for Tinkerbell, smiling when talking about fairies dying, moon dust instead of fairy/pixie dust, was not sucked in to clap for Tink, and (for me) too many songs.
Good marks: The sets seem bigger and more complete, the pirates aren't done up like clowns, the depiction of the natives doesn't seem to be insensitive, and Hook isn't portrayed as a flamboyant.
Oh my gosh that Tinkerbell noise!
@@SeebsL ikr
@@SukoYote The moon dust was stupid and a needless change. I'm not delusional, yes its fictional and maybe its like the silent film Nosferatu, they wanted to avoid copyright(which I'm sure that isn't the case seeing how it's in the public domain) but fairy/pixie dust makes more sense than moon dust. Is because the moon has no gravity? I mean if my girlfriend was pregnant and had a tattoo that doesn't mean our baby is gonna born with the same one. Makes no sense. Still a pretty good Musical
