In Disney’s 1953 animated Peter Pan, what is Wendy Darling’s father called?

The story behind the answer

In Disney’s 1953 animated Peter Pan, Wendy Darling’s father is called George Darling.

George is presented as the head of the Darling household in London. He is Wendy, John, and Michael’s father and is married to Mrs. Darling. The family lives at 14 Kensington Gardens, where the children’s nursery becomes the starting point for their adventure with Peter Pan.

George Darling is depicted as serious, practical, and concerned with respectability. His formal attitude contrasts with the children’s imagination and Peter’s refusal to grow up. Despite his stern behavior, the story ultimately shows his affection for his children and his willingness to welcome them home.

George is sometimes confused with John Darling, but John is his son, not the father. Michael is the youngest Darling child in the film, while Wendy is the eldest.
