Well they have to tread careful around Peter Pan characters if they want to sell the show in the UK Commonwealth countries (that is why Tinkerbelle is Tinker Bell in some countries, and Captain Hook has been a bit evasive regarding his traditional costume and crew) lest a nasty letter from Great Ormond Street's lawyer happen, again.

Explanation please? Or tips for key words to use when googling about this?

Because of 'reasons' the British Government passed a special Act of Parliament granting the copyright and proceeds thereof of Peter Pan and all its characters and derivatives in perpetuity to Great Ormond Street Hospital for Sick Children above and beyond the usual limitations and to supersede any other law regarding copyright and ownership. Some of the British Commonwealth countries accepted that provision too.

Basically from now until the sun burns out, if you are in the UK or its Commonwealth and want to sell tickets to Peter Pan or use any of its characters you have to get permission from Great Ormond Street and give them a percentage (although they often waive the percentage for charities and uses that they perceive as being fair, which sometimes includes which piss off Disney) of profits.

So if they want to sell OUaT in the UK, then Captain Hook who is demonstrably the one from Peter Pan needs permission. However if it is a Captain with a Hook, and just enough differences to skate by on, then they are fine. Its a balancing act.

Ah, thank you.

I didn't know this, it's pretty cool. They must have sorted it out, though, because OUAT already airs in the UK - Channel 5 on Sunday evenings, I believe - and they're into season 2 already.

Isn't her name Tinker Bell in the original novel and not Tinkerbelle?
