Peter Pan

Several obvious themes in the movie, like growing up, maturing, and taking responsibility. The take-away is that imagination is important, and that as long as you have an imagination, you'll always have a magical, child-like quality. That said, there's also cultural insensitivity and racist stereotyping, as well as sexist takes on relationships between female characters.

Insulting and misogynistic language like "wench," "stupid," "imbecile," "coward," "cod fish," "bloomin'," and "idiot." Characters occasionally make sexist remarks like "Girls talk too much!" and "A jealous female can be tricked into anything." The "Indians" are referred to (and refer to themselves) as the "Red Man" and are literally and figuratively drawn from racial stereotypes: Their appearance (feathered headdresses, face paint, etc.) and speech (grunts, stilted English) upholds an exoticized and stereotypical view of Native Americans. A song calls them "Injuns." At one point they tie up the Lost Boys around a big soup pot, as if they were cannibals. Wendy uses the word "savages" in reference to both the Lost Boys and the tribe.

The Chief passes a peace pipe to the kids, who smoke it and make ugly faces or turn green. Mr. Smee drinks from a liquor jug a couple of times.
