Summary: Content not included
Review: There have been numerous Peter Pan movies, several of which take place AFTER the original story ("Hook" being the best rendition so far). However, Disney, with it's Direct to video roll, for some odd reason, decided to put this one on the big screen! As an animator myself i can honestly say that this is far below disney's usual standard. The animaton is stiff and akward. The voices of the characters are not even remotely close to the original (especially the lost boys) and Peter Pan himself comes across as nothing more than a brat without his charm that has made him such a beloved icon. Disney is also 'getting with the times' and instead of confrunting and trying to debunk the horrible stereotyped "injuns," the indian camp looks more like they were wiped out and aren't even mentioned in the movie, just to be safe. As for the story, it had a lot going for it. The material was all there, it's just a shame the writers just took whatever came by first. Jane is non-empathetic, and her transition from wanting to grow up to being a kid is very downplayed. This film is much more lighter than the original Peter Pan which was rather dark in places. The worse that happens in this is Peter Pan is thrown 5 feet to the deck of a ship. ow. I must give them credit though for the ending. Peter and Wendy's reuniting was something i thought they wouldn't even bother with because it was too dissapointing, but they were somehow able to put a light spin on it. good job disney! at least you're not completely out of ideas yet! Granted kids will enjoy it for there is enough potty humor to keep them entertained, but parents might suffer seeing their beloved childhood memories dashed into bits.

Summary: Rather short with little plot
Review: I'm not really a fan of the old Disney "classics" (Dumbo, Peter Pan, stuff like that), because I find them a little bit boring. This was done in that style, so of course, I didn't like it much. The start is sort of interesting, as it takes place during WWII in London, when the children are being sent to the country. But after that, it sort of becomes plotless and short, and rehashes a lot from the original "Peter Pan". At least it's appropriate for children, though. So, if you really like those old animated Disney films, you'll probably like this. But if you don't, look somewhere else.

Summary: Return to Neverland is Awesome.
Review: I liked this movie alot. I think that it was just as good as the first Peter Pan,which I have watched over and over and know all the lines they would say while watching it. I had been waiting for a sequel to come out for a long time, I even drove my brother and sister crazy wishing for a sequel and than it finally came. I thought it was a bit short though, but I loved it,naturally.
I agree with one review to bring a kid with you to see the movie for an exuse. I didn't do that though. I went with my family to see it and they thought it was very good.
I can't wait for this movie to come out. And remember if you want to see it don't forget to believe in Magic!!!!

Summary: Great but short
Review: This movie was done in classic disney style. My five year old loved it and I wasnt bored with it in the first twenty minutes.
The movie starts with a Pluto short and it is needed as the peter pan movie is only an hour long.

Summary: One of the better sequels, that for sure!
Review: This is definitely one of the better sequels. The animation, while not the best in the world, matches the first nicely. The character designs are still the same too and the voices match the original. My only complaints are that this was too short, the octocpus replacing the crocodile and the songs not being memorable.

Summary: Entertaining
Review: I don't always expect too much from a Disney sequel, but I enjoyed Return to Neverland very much! The return of Captain Hook being plagued by a giant octopus was fun.

Summary: Still can fly
Review: Quick background: I am a Panmaniac. "Peter Pan" was the first film I remember seeing as a child, and I've loved it my whole life, through every book/play/record/film/video I could get my mitts on. So I'm just a little biased, and more than a little bit of an expert on it. (He said, modestly.) So this for me was a monumental occasion: a sequel I'd waited almost 32 years for. I was so glued to the screen I don't think I blinked for some 80 minutes; I had to go back and see it again later for an objective opinion. The tech creds on "Return" are stunning--the opening sequence set in the clouds over London is probably the best Disney opening since "Hunchback" in '97. And the animation overall is extremely good--where a discerning viewer may occasionally spot a "Saturday morning TV" touch here and there, the breathtaking CGI work with Hook's ship (especially the flight out of London amidst a bomber attack, which rivals anything in "Star Wars") makes up for it. And the score is lovely--fewer songs than the original, but the ones they have are quite good, and the actual score is outstanding. (I have both in my car CD player to compare them; they compliment beautifully.) The "Return" story is a clever one that improves on similar ideas put forth in the misbegotten "Hook." Peter is as self-involved and chipper as ever, but this time the story takes a nice feminist twist: rather than the female characters falling all over themselves for Peter's attention and rivalry being the norm, capable Jane's desire to be a Lost Girl (instead of Mother) and her alliance with Tinkerbell are refreshing, as is Peter's growing respect for this girl who, for a change, rescues HIM. (Peter also shows more empathy in this version than in the original, especially at the film's ending.) The Lost Boys are also more fleshed out and show a disarming sweetness, and the pirates are....well, pirates. And adult Wendy's brief scenes give off a warm glow. The only problem with "Return's" script is, in making Jane a child of war who's grown up too fast and has no use for "poppycock," she becomes a bit of a drag. The character in concept is interesting, but in execution is somewhat stodgy. (On the other hand, her take-care-of-herself moxie is fun, especially when she pulls a sword on Hook.) Thus, the middle chunk of the film drags a bit when Jane is stomping around Neverland pouting; you wait for her to jettison the attitude and start having fun. (On the plus side, her conversion is much less gooey than Robin Williams' was in "Hook.") You could argue (fairly) that Disney jettisoned a lot of the wistful, haunting qualities of the story in their "Peter Pan." This happens again here at the ending which, instead of being haunting and borderline tragic as in the play, is instead just bittersweet. (Peter, reunited with the beaming adult Wendy, offers a somewhat suspicious and accusing "You've changed.") But it still fits nicely with this bright, colorful, warmhearted film that does Disney and Barrie's Peter no disservice while giving little boys and girls lots of entertainment and stuff to mentally munch on. (For moms who want excellent role models for their daughters, pair "Return to Neverland" on video/DVD with the not-dissimilar "Return to Oz" from '85.) If you ever want to see "Peter Pan"--or "Peter and Wendy" as it was originally called--done masterfully, look for the Mabou Mimes theatrical version. It's a life-changing theatrical experience that does justice to the story's full range of emotions and colors--funny, rousing, haunting, tragic, and unforgettable.

Summary: Peter Pan rocks!!!!! :)
Review: Peter Pan:Return to Neverland was a great movie! It's even better than the last. You can really tell that Tinkerbell wanted to get rid of Jane in the beginning. The way she looked when the mermaids had Jane. Peter was a lot more charming. There were a lot more feelings in this movie. Like when Peter thought Jane had betrayed him, or when Peter saw Wendy again and was sad because she had grown up.I really loved the movie and will be watching for the video! It was really funny,yet moving in a way. It really brought out the way the people were feeling during the war. All in all, I really loved the movie. I don't think it's just a kid movie. It's more of a "for all ages" movie.

Summary: Give it a chance
Review: Disney has recently released (or rather inflicted) a load of sequels to its classic films. ...The story begins in London during the second world war. Wendy is an adult, and as her husband leaves to fight he assigns their daughter, Jane, to take care of the family. The situation forces Jane to abandon her childhood and act as protector, informant and procurer for her mother and little brother. A perfect example of this is seen when the family is crouched in a bomb shleter. Jane is searching for news over the radio (not unlike modern children crouched around computers and TV sets) while her mother is telling her little brother stories about Neverland. Perhaps resentful of her role, Jane scolds her mother for believeing in faeries. ...It is this theme of kids having to grow up too soon and missing the magic of childhood that makes Return... a timely and meaningful movie. The movie is not perfect. The music is instantly forgetable, and as in the original Captain Hook is played for laughs rather than genuine menace, making him a weak villian compared to Disney's greats... These weak points do not, however, detract from the poigniant message, that childhood wonder is a precious gift, to be preserved as long as possible, and that when a child is forced by circumstances beyond their control to give it up, it is nothing short of a tragedy.
