Return to Never Land (Pixie-Powered Edition)

Return to Never Land (Pixie-Powered Edition)
Unlike Disney's other sequels to their classic films, this follow-up to the 1953 version of Peter Pan debuted in theaters. World War II has turned Wendy's preteen daughter, Jane, into a realist, a girl who insists there's no need for stories and fun while London is crumbling. Hook kidnaps Jane (thinking she's Wendy) and returns to "the second star to the right" to foil Pan. Alas, the film doesn't build on this new story line (the London scenes have the most emotional impact), and what follows is a thin reworking of the original. On the plus side, a clever octopus takes over from that old crocodile, and Jane turns out to be a solid--and modern--role model. Those from ages 4 to 9 who have been brought up on the original should enjoy these adventures, even if the story, like Peter himself, "hasn't grown up." The 72-minute film is shown with the delightful 1948 short "Pluto's Fledgling." --Doug Thomas
Customer Review: Cute!
Not much to say on this one. But I recommend! So, I guess if I AM SUCH AN EXPERT HERE lol, go purchase/ watch/ borrow/ rent/ whatnot lol. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! Little ones, too! No need to see Peter Pan first, but of course, always good to see the 'first' one. :P
Customer Review: not as good as original
I bought this for my kids ages 3, 6 and 8. They are all big fans of Peter Pan. None of them cared for this movie-I was surprised. I have no complaints on the quality of the movie.
