Peter Pan : 5 of 5
1.04.2004

I've been excited about this movie since I saw the first teaser trailer several months ago - I'm definitely a Peter Pan fan, both of the Disney film and the original story (heck, I've even seen Hook several times), and in many ways I can relate to the archetypes of the story, which this movie explores with a little more depth than the usual Pan adventure. The production values of the film are fantastic - everything looks slick and exactly as so many have imagined it, with wonderful special effects (especially the flying sequences and Tinker Bell's pixie dust) that imitate storybook illustrations (I love the pink-orange clouds!). The boy playing Peter does a pretty good job, though I was a little bugged by his slight lisp, but Wendy is wonderful, and Hook is great. The main story difference is that Hook learns to fly for the final battle, which was pretty shocking, and there is much more exploration of Peter and Wendy's love, as well as Hook's loneliness. One of the best productions of this timeless story ever!
