Summary: It makes you believe again!
Review: Being that I love "Peter Pan", I HAD to see "Return to Neverland".I was quite shocked when I saw it. Jane was taken out of the original Peter Pan story (She appears in the last chapter of the book "When Wendy grew up".)And she was taken to Neverland then before the book ended. Also, the part where Jane had to believe in fairies came from the book too. Though in the book, Tinker Bell drank poison to save Peter & Peter had to make the children clap to show they believe. I think anyone who read the book and/or saw the movie would enjoy this sequal.

Summary: Just for the money
Review: I am a huge Disney Peter Pan fan. I saw the original at 4 years of age at Radio City Music Hall in NYC with my parents. It has stuck with me ever since. I used to watch The Wonderful World of Disney every week to see the previews because maybe something from the movie might be on the show. I saw it more than 20 times in the theaters right through college until it was finally released on video. Walt was an innovative artist. This movie is garbage.
If Walt Disney were alive this film would make him ill; it never would have been released. I believe that is true of all of the so called "sequels" that Disney Studios has released. All they are doing is taking an extremely popular part of film history and releasing sequels to generate millions of dollars because of the bottom line, and because so many fans just buy it. The animation in the film is weak, the story line[is weak], the characters are the same without the personality, and their is a lack of true escape and adventure. This was probably originally slated to be released straight to video, as were the other animated sequels, but the lure of ripping off the public for the almighty dollar was too enticing.
Guaranteed a Pinocchio sequel has to be in the works, or maybe even Snow White. Let's see if they can't ruin them all.

Summary: Seen on the big screen
Review: My son is a Peter Pan fanatic. So when this came to the big screen we were in the first row. I am not sure why Disney decided to put this one out, for Cinderella II was out at the same time and was not in theaters. Hhowever I think though the plot was basically the same as the first Peter Pan films this film was much shorter, and targeted more towards the age of 4 and up. Though the first scene where Jane is kidnapped is a little scarey and the talk of the war I think really it is not as dark, has more humor than the first and seems to be over quicker! The only part that was sad to be missed was the alligator who was replaced by an octopus. Yet he too added a cute scene here and there.

Summary: Worth one return
Review: Well, the kids enjoyed it, and I thought it was nice for one viewing. We get to revisit the whole gang from the first movie, and they now throw in Wendy's kids, as she's now grown up and has popped out a few. Peter Pan has still not grown up, Captain Hook is still quite mean, especially for a kid's feature, Tinkerbell is still a babe, and The Lost Boys seem to have been lost when they were giving out brains. However, it's basically the same plot all over again. Only substitute Wendy's daughter, who is at first mistaken for Wendy by those who don't understand the concept of aging. Virtually nothing new happens once we meet the old gang, except that Captain Hook has a new nemesis to replace the crocodile. And there is not one memorable song. Not too bad, but not too good, either.

Summary: Pretty darn good!
Review: I am VERY critical of Disney these days. They have turned out so much junk over the past several years that it is criminal. Mainly these sequels of their classics. Such complete failures are The Little Mermaid 2, Cinderella 2, Aladdin 2, Aladdin 3, The Hunchback Of Notre Dame 2, Pocahontas 2 ect. So when I heard a sequel to Peter Pan was coming out I rolled my eyes and prepared for another poor excuse for a movie. To my surprise, Return to Neverland is not only good, but I actually liked it better than the original movie! I can't believe I actually said that! And to think I LOVED Peter Pan was I was younger. This movie has beautiful animation, a pretty decent story, and nice voice acting. My only complaint is the voice of Peter. His voice is WAY too young sounding to fit his character model. Peter has the body of a teenager 15-16 years old. He's slightly more muscular in this than the original. And yet he sounds like he's 8 years old. Another downer is that Peter hasn't matured any. I know he doesn't age any in Neverland but sometimes he just get annoying with his childish antics. He looks too old to be such a brat. The music in this movie is also not so good. You forget it as soon as you hear it. But that aside, I highly enjoyed myself while watching this movie.

Summary: Worth seeing
Review: I rented this film because it was released to theaters, which made me curious. I'm glad I watched it. While the slapstick feels forced at times, it does have some good moments. But everything this movie does well, the original does better.

Summary: No faith, no trust, and little pixie-dust...
Review: When my son first saw Peter Pan, he almost wet himself with laughter. He was completely in the spell of the story, and was delighted from beginning to end. When I showed him this sequel on DVD, however, he spent most of the hour or so with an anticipatory look on his face that was rarely rewarded. On the few occasions something halfway funny happened, he looked at me as if to say, "Was that funny?"
You can't fool a five year old. This film [stank]. It had no faith in any aspect of it's story, and was painfully self conscience about not being "racist" like the original.
The music was too modern; a hodge-podge of old movie scores...oooh so magical! Avoid this dud like the plague!!

Summary: War, Bombs and Family Abandonment
Review: My 4-1/2 year old daughter begged for this movie, but we never made it past the first 10 minutes of the film. First I had to explain what war was, then bombs (thanks, Disney, for the uplifting family values). I kept hoping we'd get to something enjoyable soon and wondering why so many Disney movies have such negative story lines. But when my daugher realized that the children were being sent away WITHOUT THEIR FAMILIES, much to her horror, she screamed for me to stop the tape. I did.
