Who provided the speaking voice of Peter Pan in Disney’s 1953 animated film?

Bobby Driscoll provided the speaking voice of Peter Pan in Disney’s 1953 animated film. He was a child actor who had already worked with Walt Disney Productions before taking the role.

The film’s Peter is voiced separately from some other vocal contributions associated with the character. Driscoll’s performance helped define the voice of Disney’s animated Peter, while Kathryn Beaumont voiced Wendy Darling and Hans Conried voiced Captain Hook and George Darling.

Disney’s Peter Pan was released on 5 February 1953 and became the fourteenth feature-length animated film produced by Walt Disney Productions. It adapts Barrie’s story but changes or condenses elements of the stage play and novels, as is common in film adaptations. The voice cast is therefore distinct from actors who played Peter in stage productions or later live-action films.
