Summary: We can Fly!!!
Review: All I can say is WOW!!

I hadnt watched Peter Pan in about 15 years, but it somehow remained one of my favourites. I got the Special Edition DVD last night and immediatly ripped the Amazon box and the wrapping..... I watched the movie....and suddenly I remembered I could fly.

This is a fantastic story, where as a child you can relate, and certainly wish Peter will lose his shadow in your bedroom.

This version has also some very interesting features, like language tracks in French and Spanish (its really funny to hear the characters in another language), commentaries, games and more!

And... after watching it again, and again, and again.... it still remains as one of my favourites!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You will never grow old once you visit Neverland
Review: The Special Edition Peter Pan includes the "making of" film as well as the original introduction by Walt Disney himself. Bringing the older classics to the digital arena is a great concept that allows you to view the pictures and sound as they were intended. I give this disc the highest rating of five stars for features, picture and sound. Better hurry, these Disney DVD's are only around for a short time, usually sixty days.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Disney Classic!
Review: After Disney did " Alice in Wonderland", he did his own version of the story of " Peter Pan". It's about a imaginary boy
named " Peter" who takes three Children from england into a
wonderful and magical place called " Neverland" where they can
never grow up, but wait! there is big trouble brewing when the
evil " Captain Hook" has plans for him. absoultly wonderful disney cartoon.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Enchanting
Review: This is one of the best movies Disney has ever made. The reason I gave it four stars is because the women are made as the enemies in this film. But as a child that didn't matter. Your children will love dreaming that neverland really exsist. I highly reccommend buying this movie for your children.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great DVD!!
Review: I purchased the Special Edition the day after it was released. The film essentially looks the same as it always has, except that the backgrounds are clearer. There must be something about digital revitilization of movies that just makes the background stand out more! In addition to this, the soundtrack has improved--quite noticeably.

As for the Bonus Features--they're very well done and worth viewing! The Making of Peter Pan was very informative and colorful...lots of pictures and sketches from production in the late 40s-1953.

Captain Hook is as clever as always...Peter Pan a great character. Does anyone else wonder why his ears are pointed though? Hmm...and Tinker Bell sparkles. What a pixie! As a whole, great entertainment and an improvement from my 1990 VHS (when it was first released onto video!!) and even from the DVD version released just about 3 years ago. I'm just so happy to have this movie on DVD now as it is one of my favorites...Hurray for Captain Pan!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must see disney magic and adventure
Review: I love this movie because it makes you believe in magic and also makes you believe in Neverland. Where only your dreams and imagination and pixie dust take you!
I also have seen Peter Pan in Return To Neverland and I loved it. I just wish that they still had the old character, the crocidile that Captian Hook was afraid of.
I also have the soundtrack. For any of you who loved the songs and music in the original Peter Pan I advise you to buy it. I love it. Every night I listen to it!
If you have children it would be a treat for them to listen to the magic that Disney has for them.

Summary: favorite disney film gets a deccent dvd release
Review: Peter Pan has always been my favorite anmaited disney film I knew many people say there favorites are lady and the Tramp or The Lion King but Peter Pan has always had a special place in my heart. The limited edtion dvd release was bare bones with nothing but the trailer which is missing from this release. The new release greatly improves on the first with a great transferI mean the Godfather Trilogy was awful but this is just like the reccent Snow White and Dumbo releases. Features are good, but not up to par with Snow White i guess we will only get one release a year as comperhenisve as that one looks like it will be Beauty and The Beast in october.The features include too short features a orginal making of peter pan that is 12 minutes long that was also feautred on the vhs release four years ago another featurette that is 16 minutes and a little more informative then the first one. A sing along following the leader,a nice storybook hosted by wendy,A peter Pan interactive Treasure Hunt game and a still gallery of 63 rare storyboards, concept art and drawings.Bottom line if you love this movie as much as I do buy this version, But let's hope disney puts a two disc collectors edtion out one day it would be whorth 50 bucks to me.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: An enjoyable Classic, but definately dated.
Review: I remember loving Peter Pan as a child. As an adult I purchased the DVD for my children. The scenes with "Following the Leader," and the scenes in the nursery are classic Disney. I also have a new respect for how creative the animation was for the time when it was created.
I would recommend this Disney film, but as an adult, I noticed things that deterred from movie. I still enjoy the movie, but I cringe at the depiction of the females of this film being nothing more than frivolous beauties with nothing to do other than fight over a non-pubescent boy. (There evidently was not a female writer on staff!) I also have trouble with the Indian portrayal. I can't decide whether Disney is poking fun at the way Caucasians perceived Native Americans, or if the writers were typical of their time period.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: HEAR BOBBY DRISCOLL SPEAK FROM BEYOND
Review: "PETER PAN" a Disney favorite from 1953 has been resurrected, remastered and restored for its premier digital transfer. The Technicolor animation is once again pristine and the sound is crystal clear.

Although the animation style is far-removed from the detailed, classic, illustrator style of "Snow White" and "Pinnochio," it is still fluid, with nicely framed compositions that have a rougher, more spontaneous, almost sketchy look that ushered in a modernistic wave of Disney animation.

The bonus material is significant, especially the fabulous commentary track hosted by Roy Disney (Walt's nephew) and the making-of documentary with always affable and informed Leonard Maltin and old time animators Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnson and the voice of Wendy, Kathryn Beaumont. There's a preview of the new big screen feature "Return to Neverland" among other extras.

There's a notorious element to this movie in the haunting presence of the late, brilliant and beautiful child star Bobby Driscoll (the voice of Peter Pan). He was discovered dead of a drug overdose in a condemned New York tenement in 1968 and buried in a pauper's grave. More than a year later he was finally identified through fingerprints. "Peter Pan" is a fitting tribute to Driscoll's remarkable, natural, talents. And the genius of Walt Disney in visualizing the darker elements barely, if even, hinted at in the original fantasy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I forgot how great this movie was !
Review: What a treat, to be as thrilled with a movie as my two year old is. PAN PAN PAN ! That's all we hear in our house now!
