English Accent
What is the type of English accent that is used in the Peter Pan movies? Cockney? Also, if you know which one it is-is there a good site that would tell me the characteristics of it and how to speak it?

The person who said it is 'just a British accent' is talking absolute rubbish. How can you have a 'British accent'? Britain is made up of 4 countries, each country has a different accent and each country has different accents within it.
Like Isis said, in Peter Pan there are many different British accents and it is hard to teach someone how to speak it. Watch the movie, pick out a character and listen to how they speak and the characteristics of their voice. That way you will be able to pick it up easier than if someone instructed you on how to speak it.

There are so many English accents, not a standard one. In the film there are accents from different areas. Also different regions have different pronunciations on words, so it would be hard to advise how to speak it. Even the news channels don't have the traditional 'BBC' voice now.
I would tend to agree with the previous advice, just listen to as many English accents on TV as you can, it is easier to copy an accent you hear than trying to follow directions on a website.
Just a note, Dick Van Dyke does NOT do a good cockey accent in Mary Poppins, and we do not all speak with BBC or cockney accents.
Hope that helps and good luck.
