Peter Pan synopsis. Still doesn’t make much sense.
The Darling household is a place of joy, consisting of the three children, Wendy, John, and Michael; the practical and sometimes stern father, Mr. Darling; the loving mother, Mrs. Darling; and the children’s nurse, a dog named Nana.
But sneaking into the children’s bedroom at night to listen to Mrs. Darling’s bedtime stories is Peter Pan. One night, Nana and Mrs. Darling see him and try to stop him, but are only able to catch his shadow as he flies out the window. So they roll it up and put it in a drawer. Peter, of course, wants his shadow, and returns later after Mr. and Mrs. Darling have left for a dinner party. He brings with him his not-very-polite fairy, Tinker Bell. However, when he finds his shadow, he can’t make it stick to him and wakes Wendy as he begins to cry.
Peter is entranced by Wendy and tells her that he had run away the day he was born because he heard his parents talking about all the things he would do when he was a man, and he went to live with the fairies so that he would never have to grow up. Now he lives in the Neverland with the lost boys, children who fell out of their perambulators and were never found again.
Wendy sews Peter’s shadow back to him, and then Peter convinces Wendy and her brothers, by teaching them how to fly, to return to the Neverland with him and Tinker Bell. So off they fly, over the rooftops of London to the Neverland, where the lost boys share the island with the mean pirates, led by Captain Hook, and with the very British Picadilly Tribe, led by their chief and princess, Tiger Lily. It was Hook’s greatest desire to capture Peter Pan and his friends because it was Peter who had cut off Hook’s hand and fed it to a crocodile. The crocodile had so liked the taste of the hand that he followed Hook everywhere, waiting for the rest of him. The crocodile had, unhappily, also swallowed a clock, and its ticking warned Hook of any approach
Yep, it’s the Peter Pan and his Detachable Shadow joke, in this case the shadow wants to sing… see, it’s funny 'cuz the shadow is singing but he isn’t! Haha! Shadows don’t really do that! But THIS one does! Haw! Haw! Haw!
Actually it’s not funny at all.
And the more I look at it, the more unfunny it becomes.
In fact, it’s starting to become downright disturbing… I mean, WHERE does the cord to that microphone go?
Wait a minute… IS that a microphone?
Yeah, ok, I’m not looking at that anymore.
You should be ashamed of yourself! :eek:
Peter Pan’s shadow had a tendency to run off and do its own things. In this case, it appears to be reenacting those iPod commercials with the shadows dancing around and singing, with the trademark white earbud cords visible.

That’s what I think. iPod. Except those people are listen to music and dancing not singing. So iPod parody badly done.

That’s what I thought at first, but it doesn’t show earbuds, just a microphone.
