This is a truly magical, truly entertaining version of J.M. Barrie's classic tale. Some of the reviews on this site will tell you this movie is a big disappointment, but don't be disappointed, because this is a lie of enormous proportions. Children and adults alike who are looking for clean, old-fashioned, swashbuckling fun should embrace this colorful and lavish production.
Peter Pan is Peter Pan, exactly as you would imagine him, Wendy is Wendy, Captain Hook is Captain Hook, and so on. The casting is perfect, the scenery is beautifully fanciful, and the scripting is very true to the original story. There is certainly a darker tone to this movie, unlike the classic Disney version, but a slight bit of tongue-and-cheek makes it enjoyable and not too heavy for the kids in the audience.
A magical experience for those who seek to escape to Neverland!
