Peter Pan Reviews
Peter Pan is one of the most enjoyable films in the Disney canon, with absolutely stunning imagery and a great sense of humor...

Disney’s all-animated technicolor version of the J. M. Barrie classic is loaded with laughs and is sure to be entertaining for adult movie ' goers as well as the small fry.

Even if one chooses to play ignorant to the problematic backbone that is present in nearly every scene of the film, the world is never explored in a particularly interesting sense and the drama often is underwhelming.

On the plus side, the animation is gorgeous, Never Land is imaginatively designed, and Tinkerbell and Hook remain amusing characters. On the flip side, Peter Pan isn't the most engaging of protagonists, and a little of the Lost Boys goes a long way.

Disney gets so much syrup into the first realistic scenes that the later fairy-tale stretches somehow don't seem quite right.

An adorable picture that documents an iconic approach toward childhood fantasies, classical traditional animation techniques, and the ability to tell a story like no one else.

It's good but it doesn't blow me away with artistry, music, story or message.
| Original Score: C+ | May 9, 2019
It is doubtful if the wistful fantasy has ever been done with such charm and beauty as fills the Walt Disney version of James M. Barrie's fanciful play.

In the 36 years of its existence, the movie has aged as little as Peter himself. It is still a lush, bright feature that happily clicks along with rollicking songs by Sammy Cahn, Sammy Fain and others.

Peter Pan isn't the best adaptation of Barrie's classic play but it holds up quite well despite the offensive stereotypes portrayed.

Peter Pan may not have the distinction of being one of the more memorable films in the library of Disney animated classics, but with its exciting adventure story, fun characters, and beautiful animation, it remains a classic nonetheless.
| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Jun 4, 2018
A delightful entertaining film that will appeal to the young and the not-so young alike.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Feb 5, 2016
I always thought Peter Pan was supposed to be about childhood innocence. Pan and Tinkerbell were not sweet and cuddly, they both came across as selfish, cold and really unlikable bullies.
| Original Score: C | Feb 6, 2013
plays as less of a child fantasy of soaring adventure than it does as a retrograde narcissistic adult male fantasy of being desired and pursued by every female in the room
| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 6, 2013
Who wants their son taking his cues from this meanspirited "hero"?
| Original Score: 2/4 | Feb 4, 2013
Years later it's still a treasure, because of Disney and his artists' talent for creating memorable characters.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Jan 25, 2013
Stereotypes mar otherwise jaunty Disney adventure.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Dec 27, 2010
Not an especially mature film, probably the most "kiddie movie" of all the 1950s Disney features.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 11, 2009
Classic Disney, if not authentic Barrie.
| Nov 3, 2009
Definitely a Disney classic but misses out much of the darker side of J.M.Barrie's fantasy tale.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 3, 2009
