Summary: My niece loves it, so that's good enough for me
Review: I have to admit, I barely watched this sequel to Peter Pan, but had purchased it for my two-year old niece, who loves the Disney original. From the second the animation began, she was clapping and giggling and her interest was held for the full 73 minutes. She cried in some parts as well, but mainly just loved to see her familiar Peter Pan friends in a new adventure.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A strong effort (not just to part you with your money)
Review: This is a good video that ranks up there with the Disney classics. I was surprised after absolutely hating the sequel to Cinderella.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is worth the money
Review: Return To neverland is a quality dvd. The movie is about Jane, who's living in war torn London. Jane has grown up too fast because her dad left to fight in WW2. Jane thinks she needs to be a grown up and take care of her mom (Wendy) and little brother. One night, after a fight with her family, Jane is kidnapped by Hook and his pirates. They take her to Neverland, and after being rescued by Peter Pan, Jane is looking for a way to get home. She now has to learn to have fun and become a kid again in order to get home. I liked this movie. I'm a fan of Peter Pan so I was pleased when the sequel was almost as good as the original. There are activities on the dvd. The one that anyone would like the best would be the Treasure hunt. It's a lot of fun, but I won't spoil it for you. If you liked the movie than the dvd will be an extra bonus.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: My daughter likes it better than the first one...
Review: My 7 year old loves this movie. I prefer the original Peter Pan (We own both) but she seems to like this one more. The music is okay, but not nearly as wonderful as the first movie. It is fun to see Tinkerbell, Peter and even that nasty old Hook, and it is entertaining and appropriate for young kids (my 2 year old likes it too).

The voice work is good, (Peter almost sounds like he did in the first movie) although the Hook performance does not quite match that of the original.

Most kids will like the action and will also find the story exciting. Since my kids really like it, I give it 4 stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Thumbs Up
Review: Frankly, I was a bit suspicious about this new trend of sequels. Some are truly soulless moneygrabbers, bits and pieces put together to cash in on the title. THIS SEQUEL IS GOOD! It's a story of it's own, with reference to the original but not a copy or the much-used switching of the storyline. It's a brand new story, a new setting and has a few new characters. Jane and Daniel will become Disney characters as well know as Wendy, John and Michael. My 5 year old daughter loves this movie so much she has watched it over and over - I lost track of counting! The only thing I didn't like was that octopus. There is no reference to where he's come from or what his function is other than click-clack like the crocodile of the original movie and go after Hook. I'd have liked that octopus to have more of a defined character or not be there at all. Why not bring back the croc? He (or she?) is a classic, too! Never fuss about an octopus - or what?

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A Brand New Peter Pan Movie
Review: Return to Neverland is my favorite Peter Pan movie.
There is a silly octopus that sometimes gets on Hook's ship.
Like the crocodile the octopus alerts Hook with his tentacles.
Jane (Wendy's dauhter) does not believe in Peter Pan.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: THE MUSIC DOES NOT FIT THE MOVIE
Review: This is a good follow up to Peter Pan story but the songs employed -- the style and the singers - are for today and do not fit with the movie. The story takes place during WWII and in the timeless Neverland. The songs, and the singers, are blatantly comptemporary. Even the closing theme does not match the movie. I was VERY disappointed with this feature. If it were not for this inconsistency, I would have rated this movie five stars.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Peter Pan in Return to Never Land
Review: I'm glad to see that Disney remained true to the story line in this sequel. So many movie studios try to take an old movie and bring the story to present time. They more often than not just make it a stupid mess (e.g., Scooby Doo - 2002). Plus, the art work of the characters remains the same and no "modernization" is done -- thank God. The writers do a pretty darn good job in trying to create a sequel that logically would have been written in the 1950's when Disney' came out with their first movie of Peter Pan. Great movie to watch with no silliness. Thanks Disney.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fun Adventure
Review: This is a fun movie better than the first movie. I got this DVD at [at a local store] yesterday. Return to Never Land is defintly my favorite... I used my [used gift certificate at a local store.] The Peter Pan sequal from 1953 classic to 2002's sequal is Rated G.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nearly as good as the original....
Review: Disney has done it again. Another fine film. Kids will love this one. The songs were a bit off, but they were short enough to not be a problem.

The main characters looked, acted and felt the same as the originals. Hook's antodonist this time is a giant octopus... Not quite as cool as the alligator, but suffecient for the job.

Well woth the price of adding to the library. Especially if you have children in the 3 - 4 year old range. Not too scary, not too hard to follow. Just a good film.
