Notes
Goofs:
Continuity: When Barrie is rebuffing Peter for saying Porthos is just a dog, the stuffed toys behind Peter change orientation in relation to Peter at least twice. (more)

Trivia:
At the beginning of the movie, when Barrie is seen pacing the corridor outside the auditorium, the carpet under his feet is worn and thread bare, suggesting that many playwrights had paced there many times. This was inspired by the playwright 'Neil Simon' who makes mention of it in his autobiography, which one of the films writers had read. (more)
