Product Description

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

From the Back Cover

Bursting with pixie dust, adventure and song, Disney's 14th animated classic brings the timeless story of Peter Pan to magical life and reawakens the child in all of us. The high flying fun begins when the hero of Wendy, John and Michael's bedtime stories - Peter Pan - invites them to enchanting Never Land, where childhood lasts forever. With the help of the fiesty fairy Tinkerbell and a glittering shower of pixie dust, off they fly for the adventure of a lifetime... culminating in Peter's swashbuckling battle with the notorious Captain Hook. So just "take the second star to the right and go straight on 'til morning" and you too will reach the magical land that's captured the hearts of millions. From the stunning scenes of flight over moonlit London skies to the underground home of the Lost Boys, Peter Pan defines Disney magic and will delight your family time and time again.

I Love This Movie! 14 Nov 2004
By Mark Baker TOP 500 REVIEWER
Format:DVD
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 course, the ability to fly. The "You can fly" sequence over London is one of my all time favorites. The whole movie really is animated very well with a story that movies quickly from place to place with lots of humor to keep everyone entertained and gorgeous animation of the fanciful Never Land.

This special edition is worth tracking down. The picture (original full frame) is sharp and the surround sound is very nice. Extras include a documentary on the making of the movie and a promotional theatrical featurette from the original release. The "audio commentary" is unique. Hosted by Roy Disney, it consists of selections from interviews of the voice talent, live action models, animators, and animation historians. While not your usual commentary, it's fascinating stuff and well worth a listen. Finally, there's a treasure hunt game and DVD storybook for kids.

This movie still brings a smile to my face and probably always will. Maybe my friends are right when they say I love this movie so much because I always wanted to be Peter Pan.

One of the best 20 Jan 2003
Format:VHS Tape
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 it!

The Peter Pan DVD did not play properly but stuck in the DVD player. My 4 year old daughter who had been delighted to get the DVD was reduced to tears.

The Mary Poppins DVD that was ordered on the same day and was part of the same package arrived over a week later

I dont believe that I will be using this service again.

I feel like sueing Disney for theft now. This is the "Peter Pan" I grew up with and never cared much for. Then I saw P.J. Hogan's feature film, and was spellbound. Read more
