Ripped Off

I felt ripped off when I watched the 2003 version of Peter Pan for the first time. The trailer for the movie featured the intoxicating song "Clocks" by Coldplay. It was (and still is) my all-time favourite song. As a result, I had high expectations for the movie. There is one scene in particular where Peter and Wendy are dancing in the dream-like forest, floating up and up from the forest floor. The song in the trailer sings sweetly to make this the most perfect scene I've ever laid my eyes on. I felt ripped off, because not once did the song make an appearance in the actual film.

Disappointment aside, the feeling that this snippet in the trailer evoked in me has stayed for many years. It is the reason behind one particular instance in Evelyn's journey. I just don't know how to portray the magic that "Clocks" does. I hope Seasons gets made into a movie one day to truly do this moment in Evelyn's journey justice.

Now, I couldn't source the trailer with the Peter Pan clip in question, however here's a taste of that magical feeling that I'm talking about:
