Who is Bobby Driscoll

Bobby Driscoll is best known for being an American child actor known for starring in cinema, radio, and television performances from the 1940s and 1950s. Most notably in Disney’s animation film, Peter Pan (1953), starring as the voice for the character Peter Pan.

How It Came To Be

This website came to be when I restored the inactive domain: bobbydriscoll.net. I took the domain over and completely made this website from scratch after years of not being used (approx. since 2009). I became aware of the website when it was active in the late 2000s, which is how I became familiar with Bobby Driscoll.

Our Mission

This website aims to give the public knowledge and extensive research chronicling Bobby’s life and career.

This website also intends for Bobby’s multimedia works to be archived and showcased in one place for the public to view.
