"Peter Pan" (1953) - Tiger Lily Cel & 1940 Color Model Sheet

I like Tiger Lily. A strong female character who doesn't give up her friends and stands up to Hook's physical (drowning) and psychological torture (can't get to the Happy Hunting Ground).

This cel seemed to really capture her defiant character! It probably needs a background, but the plain background does draw attention to the character.

Cel of Tiger Lily

The Color Model Sheet of Tiger Lily (dated 11/1/1940) portrays Tiger Lily in an early design phase. The facial features are rounder and there is a less "attitude" shown.

From “Peter Pan” (1953). An excellent color model sheet of Tiger Lily. Three very large and well done images with Tiger Lily in a defiant pose. Stamped with "Model Department 11/1/40".

  3. I've always liked Tiger Lily; she's a damsel in distress with a twist. She's beautiful, but also noble, brave and loyal, and faces torture. The only thing she says is "Hel-(glub)" but her actions do speak louder than words, as does attitude.

  4. "Me Tiger Lily," that lovely creature would reply. "Peter Pan save me, me his velly nice friend. Me no let pirates hurt him."

    Charming how Barrie knew the Indian Priincess should speak with some kind of cute accent but had no idea how it might go.
