Mary Darling

Mary Darling is the mother of the Darling children in Disney's 1953 movie: ''Peter Pan. She is voiced by Heather Angel in the film.''

Peter Pan
Mary Darling, referred to as Mother by the children, appears at the opening and ending of the film. She does play an indirect role in the film, as she is alluded to throughout the picture. She is shown to be very caring and loving. She doesn't seem to agree completely with her husband's overly-practical ways, however.

The opening narration tells that Mary believes that Peter Pan was a "spirit of youth," showing that she believe in him to some extent, in contrast to her more practical husband. She is shown getting ready to attend a party alongside her husband, and attempts to calm him down as he grows more angry and impatient due to his childrens' antics. She fails though, as George Darling grows so annoyed at the make-believe (and thus impractical) games his children are playing, he abruptly decides that Wendy must move into her own room. This visibly shocks Mary, and as he leaves, she puts the children to bed, comforting each child about their father's behavior. As Wendy falls asleep, she asks that the window be left unlocked, as Peter Pan will want the shadow that Wendy had been keeping. This worries Mary a bit, and as the parents leave for the party, she mentions it to George.

During the film, Wendy alludes to her several times, most importantly during the song sequence, "Your Mother and Mine," where she reminds the Lost Boys of their mothers, after she realizes that her brothers are forgetting their own mother. She also notes that should the Lost Boys decide to return home with them, that Mary would most likely be glad to have them.

Mary appears at the end of the film, having returned from the party. She is shocked to find Wendy asleep on the window seat rather than in bed. She calms Wendy down as the young girl excitedly begins to recount her adventure and what it has taught her. As the film closes, she watches a cloud, shaped like Captain Hook's pirate ship, along with Wendy and George, after George recognizes it from his childhood.

Return to Neverland
Mary doesn't appear in the sequal. It is presumed that she is dead or has moved into another house as her daughter Wendy, son-in-law Edward, and grandchildren Jane and Danny are living in the Darling home.

House of Mouse
Mary makes cameo appearances in episodes of House of Mouse along with her husband George.

Trivia
