Wendy Darling
Wendy Moira Angela Darling is a fictional character and one of the main protagonists of the 1904 play and 1911 novel ''Peter and Wendy'' by J. M. Barrie, as well as in most adaptations in other media.

Wendy hesitates at first to fly off to Neverland, but she comes to enjoy her adventures. Ultimately, she chooses to go back to her parents and accepts that she has to grow up.

Alice In Wonderland (1951 Film)
''Alice in Wonderland'' is a 1951 American animated musical fantasy comedy film produced by Walt Disney Productions and based on the '' Alice'' books by Lewis Carroll. The thirteenth release of Disney's animated features, the film premiered in London on July 26, 1951, and in New York City on July 28, 1951. It features the voices of Kathryn Beaumont as Alice, Sterling Holloway as the Cheshire Cat, Verna Felton as the Queen of Hearts, and Ed Wynn as the Mad Hatter. Walt Disney first tried to adapt ''Alice'' into a feature-length animated film in the 1930s and revived the idea in the 1940s. The film was originally intended to be a live-action/animated film, but Disney decided it would be a fully animated film. ''Alice in Wonderland'' was considered a disappointment on its initial release, therefore was shown on television as one of the first episodes of ''Disneyland''. Its 1974 re-release in theaters proved to be much more successful, leading to subsequent re-releases, merchandisi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Big Bad Wolf
The Big Bad Wolf is a fictional wolf appearing in several cautionary tales that include some of ''Grimms' Fairy Tales.'' Versions of this character have appeared in numerous works, and it has become a generic archetype of a menacing predatory antagonist. Interpretations "Little Red Riding Hood", ''The Three Little Pigs'', "The Wolf and the Seven Young Kids", "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" and the Russian tale ''Peter and the Wolf'', reflect the theme of the ravening wolf and of the creature released unharmed from its belly, but the general theme of restoration is very old. The dialogue between the wolf and Little Red Riding Hood has its analogies to the Norse ''Þrymskviða'' from the ''Elder Edda''; the giant Þrymr had stolen Mjölner, Thor's hammer, and demanded Freyja as his bride for its return. Instead, the gods dressed Thor as a bride and sent him. When the giants note Thor's unladylike eyes, eating, and drinking, Loki explains them as Freyja not having slept, or eaten, or ...
