What is the name of the star Peter Pan and Wendy follow to reach Neverland in Disney’s 1953 Peter Pan?

Peter Pan and Wendy follow the second star to the right to reach Neverland in Disney’s 1953 Peter Pan.

The phrase comes from the film’s opening song, “The Second Star to the Right.” Peter gives Wendy directions to Neverland by describing a star to follow and a route that leads beyond the horizon. The lyric became one of the most recognizable expressions associated with Disney’s version of the story.

The star is not given a scientific astronomical identity. It functions as a fairy-tale guide, marking the route from the ordinary world of London to the magical island. This makes it different from an actual named star such as Sirius or Polaris.

Disney’s film turns the journey into a musical transition, combining flight, starlight, and the promise of adventure. Barrie’s original story also uses directions involving a star, but the precise song title belongs to the Disney adaptation.
