Reviews for Peter Pan
Top CriticDefinitely a Disney classic but misses out much of the darker side of J.M.Barrie's fantasy tale.

Disney's depersonalizing habit of putting different teams in charge of different sections of the story really shows up here.

Top CriticOrnamented with some bright and lilting tunes, it is a lively feature-length Technicolor excursion into a world that glows with an exhilarating charm and a gentle joyousness.

The Walt Disney Company has broken the vaults wide open to add a plethora of fascinating historic artifacts to make this new Platinum Edition a must-own for any Disney collector.

I have to give a special shout-out to Tinkerbell, a Disney creation that I never fully appreciated as a child.

Never Land? More like Never-Gon-Git-It Land.

The boomers love it; they can have it.

Perhaps Disney's most underrated work.

A cavalcade of classic songs, unforgettable moments, gorgeous handcrafted animation and, unfortunately, some racial stereotypes.

While it's neither the best retelling of Barrie's nursery tale or nor the best Disney cartoon of the era, it is, fortunately, a decent enough example of both.

Heartwarming story about boys, girls and growing up. Oh yeah, and there's cool pirates too.

I would argue that Peter Pan is a movie with great characters, but it is not itself a great movie.
