 not a good version of my favorite story!! May 7, 2004
0 out of 3 found this review helpful
i've always loved Peter Pan, and I grew up watching this cartoon along with the Mary Martin version. But after seeing the new live action Peter Pan, I have to conclude that this version is dull as dirt!!! First of all, Wendy and her brothers aren't SUPOPOSED to be telling stories ABOUT Peter Pan...the kids aren't supposed to have heard of him!! So when Peter flies in, it's very anti-climatic. Wendy is just like, Oh, Peter, you're here finally. Yawn!! I think Wendy had a lovely voice but the character is just annoying!! All she does is babble on while she sews Peters shadow. There is zero connection between Peter and Wendy, and that's a big problem. Tinkerbelle is the best character in this, but, she doesn't even get her famous death scene where everyone claps to bring her to life!! Hook using a bomb to hurt Peter instead of poisoning his "medicine" was really lame. Worst of all, with the exception of "You Can Fly!' all of the songs are lame. Do I even have to mention the idiotic "Red Man" song?? eww. Plus, the Lost Boys aren't supposed to be morons with retarded voices. Very dissapointing. This bland version is ok for little kids, but, to get the REAL story of Peter Pan, watch the NEW movie!!!
a classic but not one of my favorites April 28, 2004

This is a great movie for kids, I loved it when I was little. I still think it's great. What I don't understand is this whole racist thing. I'm pretty sure that I am one of the only people who honestly doesn't think about racial issues at all when watching movies like this. My aunt is full-blooded Cherokee Indian and she loves this movie. I guess I just don't think about things the way many others do. I don't want to get into a discussion of all this p.c. propoganda. All I'm saying is, this movie is definitely a classic, and should be a part of any kid's life.
 One of the best Disney movies: EVER April 17, 2004

Peter Pan is one of the most entertaining and charming Disney movies ever made. It follows the adventures of Wendy, John, and Michael Darling, and of course the boy who never grew up, Peter Pan. Captain Hook is one of the funniest and evil villains ever created and his first mate, Smee, is absolutely hilarious.brbr I have to admit that this movie doesn't follow the book very much, but is better. The characters are so much more lovable in Disney's tale. Now why couldn't Barrie be this imaginative?brbr A new, live version of Peter Pan recenyly came out. and when I saw it I couldn't help but be disappointed. I missed all of those timeless songs, charming characters, and humor. Peter was dressed as if he came straight from the jungle, and unfortunately it followed the book. I know you may think that sounds odd of me to say that I didn't like it because it was an accurate adaption, but it's true.brbr So if you want to watch an exciting and classic movie buy this DVD.
Disney's 14th Animated Masterpiece! March 6, 2004
FredeRicko (Oregon)
Following the success of both Cinderella and Alice in Wonderland, came Peter Pan, continuing a great era, the 1950's. This film tells the unforgettable story of the boy who never wanted to grow up, living in a wonderful island called Never Land, where he has decided to take the Darling Children and where they live a wonderful but dangerous adventure fighting the evil Captain Hook and his nasty team of pirates. Peter Pan is a great and very memorable but somehow seems to get forgotten now. It seems that modern Disney films like Aladdin and the Lion King have taken over, making wondeful classic Disney films be forgotten. Peter Pan is a children's classic and deserves to be remembered forever.pThis Special Edition DVD isn't quite one of their best releases but it includes a decent number of bonus features and featurettes. Luckily, this feature, Peter Pan has been officially announced as part of the Platinum Edition line, which will give Peter Pan a more majestic release.
Horrible adaptation of a wonderful story! February 11, 2004

I would have given this a single star (or none if possible) except for a few redeeming qualities. Before I rant, I'll admit that it wasn't -all- bad. First, I liked Peter's voice, it captured his spirit very well. Second, I liked John and Michael, very cute. Third, I liked Nana. That's all I liked. Okay, first of all, this movie was NOTHING like the story! The only similarities were the fact that there was a Peter, a Wendy, mermaids, Hook, etc, but none of them seemed to have the same personality as in the book! Wendy was horribly annoying in the movie, and only slightly so in the book. Tinkerbell was portrayed pretty well in this version (spiteful and jealous of Wendy) but they skipped the fact that she mended their differences. In the movie, Peter is a fairly normal type of boy. In the book, he's wonderful, cocky, strong, and smart. The Lost Boys were just very different in the book. In the movie, they were cartoony, stupid, and slow, unlike the book. I agree that the portrayal of the redman was sort of incorrect in the movie, but it wasn't so different in the book. There was respect in both, although I think the visuals were slightly insulting. Hook was also very ugly in the movie, and described as very cold and attractive in the book. Overall, it just insulted me how unlike the book it was. If you loved the book, don't inch near this movie. If you haven't read it, then proceed to this movie...at your own risk!!!
