Land. This sequel to the 1953 classic Peter Pan has a reassuringly old-fashioned feel, with computer-generated images and more-traditional artwork cleverly blended to recall the original. Wendy, now married with children, is living in a London ravaged by the blitz. Every night she enchants her small son with tales of pirates and Pan to distract him from the bombings but her serious young daughter Jane finds the stories of magic and fairies unconvincing in the face of a war-torn reality. After a fairly slow beginning establishing the bleak backdrop and the various characters--Jane's smug conscientiousness grates at times--the scene is set for the adventure to begin; and once the nefarious Hook and crew loom into sight, things really take off--literally. In Never Land nothing much has changed: the dastardly Captain Hook, now tormented by a clicking octopus rather than a ticking crocodile, just wants to be hated; his crew remain bloodthirsty but bumbling; and feisty fairy Tinker Bell shimmers around in a jealous strop when another female appears on the scene. Unfortunately, the story line hasn't changed much either, being a thin re-working of the original, although there is an interesting mirroring between mother and daughter--one who was afraid to grow-up and the other distrustful of childhood, with its emphasis on fun and lack of responsibility. It was never going to be easy to follow the original Peter Pan but Return to Never Land is an engaging sequel and the uplifting "So To Be One of Us" is Disney music at its best.

Plot: A double feature containing the original Disney animated 1953 feature, PETER PAN, and it's 2002 theatrically released sequel, RETURN TO NEVER LAND. See individual titles for further details. PETER PAN (1953): Join mischievous Peter Pan, the young boy who refuses to grow up, his hot-tempered pixie pal, Tinker Bell and the Darling children as they soar away to the mysterious Never-Never land where childhood lasts forever in this magical, musical adventure. Based on J.M. Barrie's 1904 book. RETURN TO NEVER LAND (2002): In this sequel to the 1953 Disney classic PETER PAN, Wendy is all grown up, with children of her own. She lives in London, which, as the film starts, is in the midst of the devastating German bombardments of World War II. The hardships of war have made Wendy's daughter Jane a practical, level-headed girl, with little time for her mother's wild stories of Peter Pan and Neverland. Jane doesn't believe in fairies and fantasy lands. That is, not until Captain Hook swoops down in his computer-animated pirate ship to kidnap her and whisk her away through a spectacular space portal into Neverland. Captain Hook wants Jane as bait to finally catch Peter Pan. The crocodile which plagued Hook in the original film has been replaced by a giant orange octopus. Jane just wants to get back home to London, and decides to help Hook find hidden treasure since he promises to take her home. But in order to finally make it home, Jane must learn to believe in "faith, trust, and pixie dust." This sequel primarily uses traditional animation, in the same style as the original film, although some modern computer animation is also used. Fans of the classic PETER PAN will enjoy visiting Neverland again.

...The director of my best friends wedding (Hogan) brings to us peterpan, a mega budget extravaganza. Jeremy Sumpter who plays peterpan has not been able to capture a brave spirit when compared to the ageless peterpan. Sumpter is a child in the movie and is great to see him sky rocketing around the imaginary neverland thus separating him from robin Williams the actor of hook which is the older version of peterpan. Sumpter is in company of the luminous Wendy (Rachel Hurd-wood)) who float together to neverland and experience beautiful Disney moments. The simple and sweet fairytale has been transformed by special effects. The only one in an unusually good form who deserves to get full score is Jason Isaac who plays captain hook. Although the movie is an invitation to a 5 star dinner for you and your family but been served only appetizers...

...My daughter had this for Christmas last year after watching it at school and pleading day and night with her Dad for copy.
It cost £5.99 from a local Choices Video store - we had to order it and wait a fortnight for it to arrive - this was because its a fairly old film and so not always kept in stock.
Its a wonderful magical film about PeterPan or PeterPanning (Robin Williams) as he knows himself.
PeterPan the boy who promised never to grwo up is now PeterPanning a cold manipulative Lawyer who has little time for his wife or kids - its work, work, work! - and PeterPanning hates flying!!!
You see when PeterPan was 12 he came in through Wendy Moira Angela Darlings window for the last time - at that point he met Wendy's grandaughter Moira and fell in love with her and neverreturned to NeverNeverLand.
Wendy had him adopted...

Advantages: A great Movie, suitable for all the family Disadvantages: Mainly appeals to Children
...This is a film about PeterPan with a difference, he has grown up and forgotten who he is. Then his children are kidnapped by Hook and he is forced to return to NeverNeverland to get them back. In doing so he has to remember how to be PeterPan. The result is an entertaining movie that is mainly directed at children, but some adults will enjoy it the first time they see it. The cast includes Dustin Hoffman as Hook, Bob Hoskins as Smee and Robin Williams as PeterPanning. All put in very good performances and make it a film well worth showing to the children and adults will find it a decent movie....
