Peter Pan is a very good movie indeed, which is more to be said for its sequel, which I think is one of the worst Disney sequels. While enormously entertaining especially with Hook and the crocodile, it lacks the complexity of the book. However, the animation is beautiful, especially our first look at Neverland and the Mermaid Lagoon. The songs are also lovely, especially "2nd Star to the Right" and "You can Fly". I loved the characters. Peter and the Darlings were well done, as well as the lost Boys. I also loved Tinker Bell, and Captain Hook, who was a great villain, until the sequel ruined him. If you want a more complex Hook, try Tim Curry's Hook in the animated TV series Peter Pan and the Pirates, which I personally think should be brought back. Captain Hook was wonderful here, in the series, and Jason Issac's interpretation of the character isn't to be missed either. 9/10 Bethany Cox. PS. I loved the crocodile!

A great classic!
classic Disney
It's the classic J. M. Barrie story. George Darling declares that it's Wendy's last night in the nursery and ties Nanna in the backyard. While the Darling parents are out, Peter Pan chases his shadow to the nursery. John, Michael and Wendy join him to fly to Neverland using pixie dust from Tinker Bell. Captain Hook leads the pirates who vows to get revenge on Peter Pan for the lost of his hand. The crocodile that ate his hand has developed a taste for Hook. Lucky for him, he's ticking after swallowing a clock. A jealous Tinker Bell convinces the Lost Boys to shoot down Wendy bird. Hook and Mr. Smee have kidnapped Indian princess Tiger Lily to find Peter Pan's hiding place.
It's a fun Disney classic. Captain Hook and Mr. Smee provide the big broad comedy. The fun is that the cartoon doesn't hold back. The crocodile has sharp teeth. It's inappropriate at times especially with the portrayal of the native tribe and the song "What Made the Red Man Red?" Tinker Bell almost steals the show. The animation is beautiful. It's one of Disney's golden age movies.
Thrilling and daring.
Another Disney masterpiece. Excellent storyline, thrilling action, absolutely delightful, and the tune you can fly will bring a tear to your eye, but maybe the last part's just me. The only problem is, this is a Disney movie where some real sexist comments and stereotypes come out. However, it's an old movie, and people had a different way of thinking in 1953 than they do today. Overall, an absolute delight to watch, and a must see Disney classic!
