Summary: Never land is the dream home for every one
Review: This movie rocks! I have and can draw from it very well. Tink has a great attitude and yeah, she deserves Peter alot more than Wendy does! This movie is almost tied but still second to The Road to Eldorado in my favorites.

Thanx for taking the time to read my review

Summary: Tough to justify in 2000
Review: My daughter really likes this movie but we had to have many reminders that women ARENT "easy to trick when they are jealous" and that Native Americans do not act like they do in the movie. I don't like censorship of any kind but in this day and age I cant just let this movie be seen without a discussion of "fantasy vs. reality".

If you want to have this in your collection, by all means do so, it IS a classic story, and in defense of Disney, Barrie was a notorious mysogenist, However, a discussion of stereotypes would be a nice way to offset this sometimes mean-spirited movie.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Not the best but still very good.
Review: I did love Tinkerbell, one of my all time favorite Disney characters & the music was great. A few things could have been changed, but not much.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: A good movie marred by some embarassing stereotypes
Review: This is an enchanting story, and I'd give it 5 stars if it weren't for a bit of unfortunate sterotyping of American Indians. In particular, a song sung by the Indian characters ("What Makes The Red Man Red?") is intended to be funny, but now it just comes across as embarrassing. I fully realize this sort of thing was par for the course in Hollywood at the time. But it's still unfortunate that I now have to explain to my kids that it's really NOT OK in our family to use skin color as the punch line to a joke.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Classic
Review: Old Disney...when Walt was alive set a precedent that was distroyed by many films until Lion King.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: THERE IS NO WIDESCREEN VERSION !
Review: I can't add anything to the praise for this film. If you love Disney films, this is considered one of the classics. I just wish to briefly comment on the criticism of the lack of a widescreen version. The first widescreen film, The King and I, was released in 1956. Previous to this all films were full screen. Peter Pan, released in 1953, and a good many of the Disney classics are only available in full screen aspect. This is not the Pan and Scan alteration of an original Widescreen format. The way this film is presented on the DVD is the original aspect ratio; Nothing has been altered. I have seen this so called criticism leveled against many Hollywood classics such as Casablanca, Gone with the Wind and The Wizard of Oz. Please, get off your high horse and stop whinning about how Disney or whatever movie company is ripping you off. None of these films ever had a widescreen version to begin with. Do a little research and you could be content to enjoy these classics in the aspect ratio they were orginally presented in. Thats all I wish to say.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: My FAVORITE movie of ALL times!
Review: Peter Pan was the first movie I ever saw in theaters. I've been in love with it ever since. For a year I called my dad "Peter".My email address is tinkerbell343. I was Tinkerbell for Halloween 5 years in a row! I begged my parents to take me to see Peter Pan on ice! It is a brilliant story, one of imagination and adventure. It is full of fairies, pirates, and the wanting to stay a child. It is perfect for children(and grown ups), and I HIGHLY recommend it!

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: GREAT MOVIE - DISSAPOINTING DVD!
Review: IT IS SAD THAT DISNEY HAS BECOME THE MULTIZILLION DOLLAR INSTITUTION THAT IT HAS. IF IT WAS STILL UNDER THE WATCHFUL CARING EYES OF WALT DISNEY HIMSELF, I DON'T THINK THE DVD VERSION OF THIS MOVIE I JUST PURCHASED WOULD BE THE SAME. THE MOVIE OF COURSE IS AS GREAT AS IT ALWAYS WAS - A WONDER OF ARTISTRY & FANTASY SEAMLESSLY BLENDED TOGETHER. THE COLORS ARE AS BEAUTIFUL AS EVER. THE SOUND IS O.K., BUT I WOULD THINK THAT DISNEY COULD DO SOMETHING IN THE WAY OF RESTORATION AS FAR AS THE HISS THAT IS VERY NOTICEABLE - ESPECIALLY IN THE LOUDER PASSAGES.

I ALSO AM NO DUMMY WHEN IT COMES TO GENERAL DVD KNOWLEDGE, BUT I WAS TOTALLY CONFUSED LOOKING AT THE BACK OF THE DVD CASE AS TO WHETHER THIS MOVIE WAS A WIDESCREEN VERSION OR FULL SCREEN. IT CLEARLY STATES IN MINISCULE LETTERS UNDER THE RUNNING TIME THAT PETER PAN IS PRESENTED IN ITS ORIGINAL THEATRICAL ASPECT RATIO, APPROX. 1.33:1. I (AND PROBABLY ANYONE ELSE BESIDES ROGER EBERT) WOULD GUESS THAT THIS MEANS IT APPEARS AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY SHOWN IN THEATRES - WIDESCREEN! I WAS MORE THAN TICKED TO FIND LATER THAT IT IS IN FACT A PAN AND SCAN VERSION, AND AFTER PAYING NOT A SMALL SUM OF MONEY, I FEEL A LITTLE ROOKED.

MY SUGGESTION IS TO KEEP WATCHING THAT WORN OUT VHS COPY UNTIL DISNEY DECIDES TO INVEST A LITTLE MORE IN ONE OF THEIR CROWN ACHIEVEMENTS. OH AND DON'T WORRY TOO MUCH ABOUT THAT LIMITED ISSUE NONSENSE MEANING THAT THEY ONLY MANUFACTURE EACH MOVIE TITLE ON A LIMITED NUMBER RUN ONLY ONCE PER GENERATION (WITH DISNEY, GENERATIONS ARE BORN QUITE OFTEN). RIGHT NOW, THEY OBVIOUSLY ARE HAVING A GIGANTIC CASE OF TIGHTWADITIS AND YET ARE STILL PRICING THEIR TITLES WELL ABOVE OTHER STUDIOS. SAD, SAD, SAD!

I ONLY HOPE WE ALL CAN SEE THIS MOVIE IN ITS FULL WIDESCREEN GLORY AND SOUND SOON! PETER PAN IN ITSELF IS STILL MAGICAL!

Review: Excellent video quality a must have for the avid Disney collector

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Great But.....
Review: This is still by far and way my one of my top 3 favorite Disney films of all time. My only issue with the DVD was that there was no widescreen version (Which was available on Mulan). And Second on the last VHS release there was a nice making of Documentary why is that not accached. Who Know. On this one you may want to save your money and see if you can find it on VHS.
