Reply to comment by OfficeChairHero in TIL a special law in the UK was created to ensure that the Great Ormond Street Children's Hospital will forever be able to collect royalties from stage performances, audiobooks, book releases, etc. of Peter Pan in the UK.

They pulled out of a Peter Pan movie like 20 years ago because they refused to share profits with GOSH.

Disney is a dispicable company.
