hyped garbage

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Watching it is like watching the spectacle of a class clown at their best: you laugh at their jokes, instigate their defiance, and "ooooh" when they get in trouble.

Peter Pan: Return to Neverland is not as bad as you might have heard or seen it's actually a pretty good movie sequel to the 1953 Peter Pan. It takes some things from the first film and changes some other ones for example instead of the Crocodile from the first one here we have an Octopus for what it is it worth the wait. Peter Pan 2 is a good as the first film and a little bit better sure it has some issues like the humor sometimes and it's slow at times also the effects look kinda fake in 2 scenes mostly with the ship of Hook but it's still a good movie full of charm, laughs and adventure. And i think Jane was better than Wendy if you love the 1953 Original you will love the 2002 Return to Neverland.

Sequel to classic history with an enjoyable Peter Pan , adventures , imagination ,astounding as well as gorgeous sets and brilliant images , though it was originally planned as a direct-to-video release in which the protagonist of the story results to be Wendy's daughter and is set in London during World War II . The picture mingles action , feats , humor , tongue-in-cheek , fantasy and a lot of entertainment . The film centers about Peter Pan (voice by Blayne Weaver) , a nice adolescent who doesn't want grow up , Wendy , her daughter Jane and brothers . As Jane is kidnapped by Captain Hook from parents' home and they are going to Neverland . As main starring is abducted by Captain Hook and Peter Pan must come to the rescue in order to challenge his old enemy . Peter Pan , Tink and Lost Boys (they were boys who fell out of their prams while the nurses weren't looking , whereas Peter Pan is a permanent resident of Never Neverland, the lost boys are only temporary lodgers , if they seem to grow up, Peter Pan sends them home) will take on captain Hook , Smee and pirates henchmen . As Peter Pan's quest to go back Jane safely home is jeopardized until she can start to believe in the magic of imagination . The film contains emotion , humor , fantasy , songs and a lot of fun . The plot is similar to Walt Disney's classic replacing Wendy with her daughter Jane who along with Peter undertake several adventures in Neverland ; as Pan with the help of her and the Lost Boys must save his friends by battling with Captain Hook and Smee once again . From the beginning to the end the amusement and entertainment is interminable . An entertaining movie , a little tiring when the characters are singing , but is still shines . The highlights film are the marvelous images when Peter Pan and Jane are flying throughout Neverland , it turns out to be colorful and delightful . Due to controversy over their appearance in original movie , as Disney attracted negative comments for their stereotypical depiction of Indians, as indeed did J.M. Barrie with his original play , it's probably for that very reason that the Indians do not appear in this 2002 sequel , though Peter and Jane briefly visit their places , however ; as they fly over Tipis , Indian tribes and skull monument . The giant octopus was created as a new nemesis for Captain Hook because it was felt that the Disney animators had exhausted all the comic possibilities of "Hook vs. the Crocodile" in the original Peter Pan (1953). The octopus's tentacles make a "Pock! Pock!" sound that is similar to the "Tick Tock!" sound heard from the crocodile in the previous film . Although original author J.M. Barrie is credited, this sequel and its original were the only major films versions of "Peter Pan" and both of them use little of his original dialogue . Because most of the original voice cast of the movie had died, including Hans Conried (Hook) and Bobby Driscoll (Peter Pan), an entirely new cast of actors had to be used to film this sequel such as Corey Burton as Hook , Jeff Bennett as Smee , Kath Soucie as Wendy , Roger Rees as Edward , Spencer Breslin as Cubby , Bradley Pierce as Nibs and Clive Revill . Many Peter Pan purists were very upset by the characterization of Tinker Bell as a petulant and voluptuous young woman as old film ¨Peter Pan¨ as its sequel the ¨Return to Never Land¨ . The fable will appeal to adventure and classic tale fan . Rating : 6,5/10 above average . It's a terrific familiar amusement that will appeal to vintage tale fans .Other films and stage productions dealing with this classic personage are the followings : The original Broadway production of "Peter Pan", or "The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up" by J.M. Barrie opened at the Empire Theater on November 6, 1905 , it ran for 223 performances, closed on May 20, 1906, and starred nineteenth-century stage actress Maude Adams, who never made any films ; silent film ¨Peter Pan¨ (1924) starred by Virginia Brown Faire as Tinker Bell , it uses much of Barrie's original dialogue ; Peter Pan (1953) with voice by Bobby Driscoll, Kathryn Beaumont, Hans Conried ; ¨Hook¨(2001) with Steven Spielberg with Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook , Robin Williams , Freddie Highmore , Julia Roberts , Bob Hoskins as Smee , Maggie Smith and Caroline Goodall ; ¨Finding Neverland¨ (2004) by Marc Foster with Johnny Depp as James M Barry , Kate Winslet , Kelly McDonald as Peter Pan , Julie Christie , Radha Mitchell , and recent version ¨Peter Pan¨ by JP Hogan with Jeremy Sumpter , Raquel Wood and Jason Isaac .

Of all the Disney animated sequels from the Golden Age (The Walt Era: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Dumbo, Bambi, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland, Peter Pan, Lady and the Tramp, Sleeping Beauty, 101 Dalmatians, Sword in the Stone, Jungle Book), this is by far the best!As a fan of the original Peter Pan from 1953, I can prove a good point when I say that this is a perfect follow up.For one, the animation is superb. Has a really great effect with the CAPS system. Makes it very lively. Of course, anything is possible in animation with computer work nowadays.Second, the music and writing is wonderful. They used "The Second Star to the Right" from the original film and it was sung in this film by a singer named Jonatha Brooke (sounding like Christina Aguilera)And lastly, the voice cast was great. Blayne Weaver did a terrific job of voicing Peter Pan (of course, there is now competition with Adam Wylie, who supplies the voice for Jake and the Never Land Pirates). Corey Burton and Jeff Bennett really took the cake the doing the roles of Captain Hook and Mr. Smee justice and I have to say that Hans Conried and Bill Thompson (the original voices) would have been proud. Also, Disney did a very accurate job with the Lost Boys. Having them sounding like actual little boys was great, and I have to say they were a lot funnier in this film than in the original. Jane was given a very sophisticated voice, as did Wendy, though as many say, Kathryn Beaumont should have voiced her as an adult and that would have been something special.Also a fun fact was that it was made almost fifty years from the original. If Disney had waited until February 2003 to release this, that would have been something golden! (little pun)All in all, this is a great follow-up to the original film and a must see for all those to enjoy.

I may have seen the trailer at the cinema, and like the critics I thought it looked more like the kind of Disney film better released straight to video, same goes for the atrocious The Jungle Book 2, but when it was available I watched. Basically Wendy Darling (Kath Soucie) has grown up and had two children, maturing daughter Jane (Harriet Owen) and little son Danny (Andrew McDonough) who enjoys the stories Peter Pan and Never Land. With father Edward (Roger Rees) leaving home to fight for the country, and the constant London bombings during the Blitz of the Second World War, Jane is very cynical, especially when it comes to the bedtime stories. But her opinion is to change when she gets kidnapped by Captain Hook (Corey Burton), mistaking her for Wendy, as bait for his enemy, the still not growing up Peter Pan (Blayne Weaver). Even Peter mistakes her for Wendy, and not being up for fun with him, Tinker Bell or the Lost Boys she really wants to get back home, but this cannot happen until she believes in the magic of imagination and finds a happy thought with pixie dust. Meanwhile Captain Hook and his silly sidekick Smee (Jeff Bennett) are trying to find out where Pan is as well as a way to get rid of him once and for all, while the Captain is also terrified by not the crocodile, but a giant octopus. In the end, after realising everything around her is real and that she should believe in it and save the life Tinker Bell, Jane does fly, Captain Hook is defeated, and Peter takes her back home and sees her mother before flying away, and Edward returns home. Also starring The Cat in the Hat's Spencer Breslin as Cubby, Jumanji's Bradley Pierce as Nibs and Additional Voices from The Simpsons' Dan Castellaneta and Jim Cummings. Essentially it is recycling all the themes from the J.M. Barrie book, the voices all sounding different doesn't help, the animation is average, and there isn't much to the story, but for the kids, not a terrible family animated musical adventure. Okay!
