Editorial Review:

Amazon.co.uk Review:
Peter Pan has a special place in the realm of classic animated Disney films: it instils an element of child-like wonder. The 1953 version of James M Barrie's story is colourfully told and keeps on the straight and narrow of the book. Barrie's wondrous focus on child's play is the key to its longevity: children who don't grow up, shadows that run away from their owners, pirates, a fairy, and the magic ability to fly. In short, you can't help wishing the adventure would happen to you. Fuelled by a few memorable songs (the stunner being "You Can Fly") and the strong impression of the pixie fairy Tinkerbell and the goofy Captain Hook, Disney's version of this story neither supplants nor lessens the Broadway version with Mary Martin that was produced for television the same decade. Unlike some classics, Peter Pan never ages along the way. --Doug Thomas, Amazon.com

- not my favourite disney film but hey its disney its gonna be great anyway isnt it
with the amazing animation and the trademark singalongs you know this is a disney film what can you say when the people at disney pump out great film after great film? well for me this film doesnt quite deserve the prestigus 5 star mark purley because i thought that the story seemed very very rushed but apart from that the characters are great physically and vocually (espseacially mr smee)and the constantly present "disney magic" is there so i am not complaining (that much) definatly worth a look young or old

- I Love This Movie!
The children in the Darling family love story about Peter Pan. So naturally when he shows up one night looking for his missing shadow, they're thrilled to go back with him to Never Land. There, they face Indians and "the world's most famous crook," Captain Hook. Will they survive their adventures with the boy who never wants to grow up?

I have always had a fascination with this story. As a kid I remember checking the Disney picture book version out of the library week after week. When I finally got to see it, I was enthralled. There is just something magical about the story. It's partially the coming together of all the boyhood adventures in one place. Mermaids, Indians, and Pirates? What more could any boy want? And, of ... Read More:

- A great film for children and childlike adults.
I remember the first time I saw some of Peter Pan, it was on the Disney Christmas show there is every year on Christmas Eve in Denmark. The part that was featured is the part when Peter takes the children with him to Neverland, it is a film filled with great songs and the right amount of suspence and humour. There is real danger like when the mermaids try to drown Mary and when Captain Hook had caputred Tiger Lily, but there is also fun and laughter. Personally I have always liked the crocodile, the way it moves it's tale as the clock beats.
As an adult my love for this movie hasn't decreased, I am now ready to more fully embrace the tragedy of Peter Pan loosing his family and the perdicament the children find themselves in. Being a child ... Read More:

- One of the best
Why are old Disney's some much better than more recent ones? Because much more is left to your imagination and the action is less fast and less aggressive. Also, verbal cracks and jokes are much more in abundance.

Peter Pan's definetely one of the best Disney movies. The plot is great, the characters are convincing (even Tinkerbell) and emotions are never over-the-top or sacharine. There's enough action in it to keep you spellbound (even at 33!!).

The great thing about is that the whole story makes completely sense in the eyes of many a kid (I have 3). It feeds on their imagination & still expects them to make clever judgements.

Enough said, it's a good story, brilliantly drawn. Modern day kids still love ... Read More:

- In the Top 5
Alice in Wonderland, Little Mermaid, Pinocchio and Cinderella have got to be in your Disney Top 5. So does Peter Pan. This is one of the only fairy tales adapted by Walt Disney which doesn't have much romance. It's also a "not just for kids" film. I'm 13 and I still like it. The characters are strong. Smee provides comic relief. Captain Hook provides wickedness. Peter, Wendy and the gang are great heroes. Tinkerbell is a cheeky little fairy which uses body language. The story is strong, the songs are good and the London flight is magic. the fairy tale which followed was the OTT version of Sleeping Beauty. The next good fairy tale film was The Sword in the Stone or even Mary Poppins, some ten years later.
