Summary: Pure Magic!
Review: When someone asks "what is your favorite Disney movie" I usually reply, "Beauty and the Beast" or "The Lion King", as do most people. There is one Disney movie, which almost everyone loves, yet always seems to forget, "Peter Pan". This is one of Disney's most wonderfully brilliant and magical movies ever. It combines the joy of childhood with the seriousness of growing up. I remember watching it so often that I wore out my video. Anyone of any age can enjoy this film...and will.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oh C'mon
Review: This is a wonderful book. Poetic and a brilliant read. What touched me most about this book was the part about John Huff. The reason is it was so very real. The emotion Doug felt was heartfelt. I know because I read it just as one of my best friends was moving away. It nearly moved me to tears not an easy task. Then there is the Lonely One. A chilling character that you never actually know. Yet the fear of the mother is felt by you. The question is this. What did everyone find so confusing? It is obvious that they either have never read Bradbury, or are incredibly daft. Yes it tells different stories, such as the middle aged man and the old woman, with lime-vanilla ice. But confusing? Never. Were one story stopped another picked up rather easy to understand. My recommendation, if you don't wished to be touched by Bradbury's jawcraker and poetic masterpiece, and never want to feel, then ovoid the book. If you want to go back in time and feel the joy's and sorrows of what most of us have left behind then buy it. In the words of Bradbury himself in the beginning of the book. "The wine still waits in the cellars below. My beloved family still sits on the porch in the dark. The fire balloon still drifts and burns in the night sky of an as yet unburied summer. Why and how? Because I say it is so."

Summary: Disney at it's best
Review: One of my favorite Disney films. Love the music & Tinkerbell is one of my favorite characters. No extras on the disc though. Disney is famous for that. Great picture quality & love the music.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Poor presentation of a great film
Review: Peter Pan is a terrific film full of swahbuckling adventure, great music and heart. The DVD on the other hand is an empty experience. The only extra feature is a French language trak. Not too much fun if you don't know French. Thankfully I already own this film on a laser disc which has two documentaries, concept art, character design concepts, storyboard art, and some of the live-action refrence footage used by the animators. These are the kinds of things I want to see on a DVD release. I mean the disc can hold 4 hours on one side alone, so space isn't a problem. Come on Disney, get it right.

If you don't already have a decent version of Peter Pan (or by some cosmic twist of fate, have never even seen it) then by all means buy this DVD. But if you're looking for more than the film itself you'll just have to wait for the special edition of Peter Pan (whenever and IF it ever comes out).

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Oh Come ON!
Review: This is a great movie. It's funny, well written and tells a wonderful story. However, I'm sick of this steryotype crap. Give me a break people, this movie was made a long time ago, when they made movies with a decent story line, and didn't compromise that to make all the poor little people happy. Looses up. Don't talk to your kids about it being "wrong" or "evil" what next burn it 'cos it's offensive? Give me a break. Let peoople make movies properly, and don't worry about offending everyone in the world. Most people aren't offended and out dumber those that for whatever reason are. Get a life.

Summary: Great Movie, Great Edition, Not so Great Special Features
Review: Peter Pan is one of my favorite all-time Disney movies. It's a very good example of the wonderful sense of humor and imagination Walt had when he was still alive. It was marvelous to see the film again that as a child I had rented and re-watched so many times my father finally bought it for me.

The film has gone through some restoration work and the colors on this DVD version are vivid and beautiful, unlike the faded and sometimes scratchy film I remember from the earlier release I owned as a child. Perhaps it's also a marvel of DVD compared VHS. I would definitely consider this the collector's version of Peter Pan.

However, I was hoping for a bit more in the way of special features. I feel this way about most of Disney's releases to DVD. I would loved to have seen more about the development of the film, perhaps a trailer or new reels for its first release, anything. However, the only feature included is an alternate soundtrack in French.

I still think that it is worth the extra price for the DVD (but then, my original VHS video was eventually shredded by a broken VCR, so I'm glad to know that will never happen again). It's certainly a movie I still plan to watch again and again.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A lot of memories with this one
Review: In my opinion, "Peter Pan" is one of the most classic and one of the best of the classic Disney films. Wendy, John, and Michael all believe in Peter Pan, and one night they finally get lucky. "Peter Pan" takes them to where he lives and where kids will never grow up into adults, Neverland. While there, Wendy, John, and Michael meet other kids and discover the wonder and childlike fantasies of never growing up. But most of all, they meet Peter Pan's biggest adversary, Captain Hook.

"Peter Pan" is a great classic film. When I was a kid, I used to like it a lot, mainly because I used to wish that I would never grow up, just like Peter Pan and some of the other kids. Now that I'm grown, I don't have those thoughts any more, but I still enjoy watching "Peter Pan." It's a good movie. Parts of it are funny, it gives me a little bit of nostalgia everytime I watch it, and it even has some good songs that are unforgettable, such as "You Can Fly." I don't see where it matters how old you are, there's not anything wrong with watching cartoons after you're grown, unlike what my dad thinks. If you like classic cartoon movies or if you have any kids, "Peter Pan" would be a great movie to get.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Am I Remembering this right?
Review: I watched this video with my children. It was the first time I've seen Peter Pan since my own childhood and it was every bit as captivating as I'd remembered - with one exception. I waited expectantly for the moment that Peter Pan asks the audience to help him save Tinkerbell. It seems that the scene was cut short. Without that critical footage, it just wasn't the same movie.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A good kids movie but the content is abit outdated.
Review: After sitting down and watching this movie for the 20th time this week, I must still agree with my special little guy that this is a great movie. He loves it and that is important since it is a kids movie. Forget about the cinematic effects or the lack of. The real important question is: do the kids like it? My kid loves it! And I am sure that your kids will too...

Why the 3 stars, well the movie uses some time "filler" scenes with a native American theme. I find this scene to be abit unrelated and stereotypes native Americans/Canadians. Too many politically incorrect references that are out of touch with today's society. I have to explain to my little guy that the movie is wrong and that these references are not acceptable in this day and society. Other then that it's a great film.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: DVD is dissappointing
Review: Disney is definitely letting down the DVD communtiy compared to other companies. Aside from some artwork, this DVD has nothing else on it except the movie itself. Good heavens for the price Disney charges, there should be a painted cell from the movie coming with the DVD.

The story itself is a classic. The animation has not held up all that well, though I think some of that has to be due to the introduction of computer animation.

None of the songs are really noteworthy.
