You won't be disappointed!

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

As with my past few reviews, I got to view this movie thanks to my Disneyphilic aunt, who likes this movie so much that she has both the 1990 and 1997 VHS releases. Since the 1990 release first caught my eye, we decided to view it since we had almost too much leisure time today. My thoughts are?The story brings with it quite an enjoyable amount of wit and some surprisingly effective slapstick (especially by today's standards), though I was indeed disappointed at how they took some liberties from the play regarding the fictional Piccaninny tribe. I wasn't particularly shocked at the stereotypes, but it didn't contribute much to the humor or anything of quality. When it comes to the characters, I did appreciate how they made Tinker Bell helpful but with just the right amount of sass to make her stand out more from previous Disney heroines. I also identified a lot with Wendy's perspective on several things, such as Pan's behavior. Pan himself is rather fun, though he as well as the Jolly Roger's crew did make this one of the sillier Disney movies. I could appreciate that; the humor as I mentioned does mostly work. What the animation doesn't convey in settings and effects compared to prior Disney movies, it does convey in the character movement to enrich the slapstick. I didn't particularly care for the music, because it's really forgettable and doesn't deserve to be the first thing people remember about this movie.This is yet another Disney winner that I'm certain will be enjoyed by most families. Others might object to the portrayal of the Piccaninny tribe as stereotypical Natives or be repulsed by the surprisingly colorful description of how Captain Hook got his name. Even then, I would say this is worth it for some laughs over 76 minutes.

Disney had returned to the feature film arena in the late 1940's. Many of the features that he produced in the 1950's were intended to be produced in the early 40's, but economic and labor setbacks as well as WWII put those projects on hold. It it interesting to see how Peter Pan would have looked had it been released in 1941 or 1942. Disney's Peter Pan doesn't glamorize childhood, but rather shows the dark side of the ultimate child's fantasy. Wendy doesn't want to grow up, but after numerous bad experiences with virtually every local at Neverland, she sees the light and desires to move on with her life. (A similar theme of a girl fantasying about another world despite her superior's objections, only for her to come to mature after experiencing turmoil was previously explored in Alice In Wonderland). The depiction of Native Americans and use of ethnic slurs has been controversial in recent years, but Disney hasn't pulled this out of circulation, nor has there been any significant pressure to do so. I sensed that they intended these to be fun characters. This is probably one of the most colorful and lush of Disney's post-war films. Mary Blair made excellent color designs for the Darling's nursery and the many Neverland spots. One could only imagine what the picture would have looked like had it been produced a decade earlier when they went all out on lush pictures. Despite some blatant Native American stereotypes, this has remained a beloved classic well into the 21st century.

I will start by saying, the times set up the culture for bad screen treatment of Native Americans. Ever see a John Wayne movie? If we can set aside the obvious negativity about this and look at a sparkling film with really good music. It is the J. M. Barrie film with a bit of poetic license. We have delightfully drawn characters who can fly and a group of lost boys. And, of course, a great Captain Hook and my favorite, Smee. If there is a slight criticism, it would be that Peter is a bit too confident. There's little vulnerability. One of the features of the book and the stage play is a vulnerability and a longing that doesn't quite translate.

Sweet, fun Disney classic.Based on James Barrie's famous book, the story of Peter Pan, the boy who never grew up. We see his battles with Captain Hook, Smee and company, accompanied by Wendy, John and Michael and, of course, Tinker Bell...Wonderful adaptation of the novel. Fast-paced, funny and with a great vibrance and message. Animation is excellent and still looks fantastic, over 60 years later. There's not much music, but the tunes there are are very catchy. Good voice casting too.An animated classic, suitable for all ages.
