Finding Neverland is a 2004 film, starring Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet. It is a semi-fictional account of the experiences of Peter Pan author J. M. Barrie that led him to write the children's classic. In the movie, he befriends a young widow - and more importantly, her four sons - and their experiences together give him the ideas for a story about boys who don't want to grow up.

Cast & crew

The film is directed by Marc Forster, previously responsible for Monster's Ball; the screenplay was adapted by David Magee from the play The Man Who Was Peter Pan by Allan Knee. It features a song written by Elton John.

The film also featured a Landseer dog as Barrie's pet, which was the breed of dog in the original Peter Pan story.

Differences with the true story

In reality:

  • there were five boys instead of four
  • Arthur Llewellyn-Davies was still alive when Barrie met Sylvia and her sons
