The Link between Tolkien, Peter Pan, and Star Wars... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Actually, I'm not fussed on Peter Pan and never really was even as a child. I much preferred Alice In Wonderland! Though I did like the film with Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet in it - something for everyone there if you know what I mean!

Now I'm grown up I have to admit I'm a bit put off Peter Pan by it's associations with Whacko Jacko, which might be a bit sad of me, but nevertheless, he's spoiled it for me.

We might be fans of Tolkien but it doesn't mean we like all fantasy and sci-fi; for example I don't like the Narnia books (but I do love the film, that's marvellous) and I rarely read mass market fantasy apart from Potter. I saw the three first Star Wars films as a youngster but I only saw the other three just before the last one came out. I still haven't seen the Alien films either.
