Pan has lived on for over 100 years, and Disney's adaptation of the play has only helped fuel its popularity.

The world will be divided into those that have read the original text, those who cling to the Disney version and those who know little about the story of a boy who didn?t want to grow up. PeterPan is a fantasy, almost elf-like boy, who occasionally visits London to find out more about children?s tales. On this visit, he is looking to find out more about the fate of Cinderella when he encounters the Darling family. Made up of Mr and Mrs Darling, Aunt Millicent, Wendy, Michael, John and Nana the St Bernard, the Darlings appear to be a typical Victorian family who are very close and enjoy each others company. However, Wendy is at the age where she wants to discover more about the world so when she makes the acquaintance of a boy that can fly who promises a land of adventure somewhere in the stars, she follows him taking brothers Michael and John ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Peter Pan (DVD)
Advantages: Entertaining Disadvantages: Not for everyone, not as good as the first (obviously)
the afternoon - the latest showing there was. The place was packed out with kiddies, what with it being a kid's film and it being Easter holiday's too. Disney's last release, 'Monsters Inc' was more suitable for other age groups too, whereas 'Return' is really just for little kids.
The film opens on to a night time London sky with characters silouttes emerging from the clouds...quite artistic really...makes the opening credits a bit more watchable. Once the action starts you realise it is set in the time of the Blitz in London. You meet a family of four, Wendy (the little girl from 'PeterPan') and her husband and their two children, Jane and her little brother, Danny. Jane (who you can quickly tell is the sort of heroine of this story) and Danny wave goodbye to their father who goes off to war. Her father tells her to look after her mother ...

DVD Description
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.<BR>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.<BR>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.<BR>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.
