VHS Movie Reviews of Peter Pan in Return to Never Land (Walt Disney Pictures Presents)
Movie Review: What happen to the magic?
Summary: 1 Stars
This cartoon was nothing like the first one. It was Disney's attempt to make money. I did everthing I could to stay awake. I am so disappointed with movies lately. I mean, instead of a crocodile, they have a giant squid. Their was no magic adventure. Peter Pan was a great cartoon, Return to Neverland was stupid.Movie Review: OK film
Summary: 3 Stars
I have 3 sons, 14, 11 and 1 1/2 years old. They are all die hard Peter Pan fans, and have seen the original Disney PP a gagillion times or more! Even the little guy loves his "Pee Pan"! So when we got Return to Never Land we were all excited to watch it. The only one who liked it enough to watch the whole thing was the 11 year old. He really enjoyed it. He also loved Atlantis and Treasure Planet, so that I think is the target group for this one. My oldest could care less for it. My youngest (who even at his tender age is quite the Disney fan and couch potato) wandered in and out of the room, watching some parts, mostly after they got to Neverland. I have to agree with him, I think the beginning is slow and doesn't match the lightheartedness of the original, it is rather somber with the war scenes and all. Anyway, he was also really scared of the octopus, but the crocodile doesn't scare him at all. In my opinion, Disney has not made that many good, classic movies since Beauty and the Beast, and this is prime example of that.Movie Review: What a disgrace

Peter Pan was a great escapist moie for little kids, this tripe is another example of Disney bastardizing its franchise with direct to video movies using beloved characters. The tone of the beggining of the movies is bleak as London is experiencing the blitz. The interaction of the characters later is a pale reflection of the original movie. The cartoons on the Disney channel are a better view.Movie Review: Return to Neverland

As a Disney collector I always view whatever comes out. Peter Pan was a great movie, Return to neverland has nothing new but is enjoyable as a Disney fable. I have purchased the dvd for my collection.Return presuposes that you have seen Peter Pan and I found that OK as I think most Disney fans would have viewed it.Movie Review: This is a great kids movie - was it really made by Disney?
Summary: 5 Stars
I have three children - ages 6, 4 and 2. I will be reviewing this movie from their perspective, not that of an adults. They really enjoyed the movie. Since they are not professional cartoonist, they did not care about the quality of the drawings. If anything, the 'old style' cartoon movie (similar to the first Peter Pan) kept the feel of the first movie. If they had used too many computer graphics, it would not have flowed well from the first movie. My children also liked the story. It was exciting, but not scary - even for the youngest. Each of the characters was reasonably developed, although Jane is the focus of the movie. She is Wendy's daughter, and Peter gets a supporting role in the plot. Hook is back and is mean without being frightening. Even the octopus, Hook's tormentor, is pretty tame. As for the quality of the music, my kids liked it and even asked for the soundtrack. (It is OK, but mostly instrumental takes from the movie. There are three good songs on it though...) Finally, some reviewers have critiqued the voices and complained they are not exact matches for the first Peter Pan. If you know him personally, then you might have a complaint. You have also grown-up way too much to ever enjoy this movie. (Go see the Exorcist or something!) Unless you have gone to bed every night since the 50's listening to Peter, you will not notice anything different on the voices. From a child's perspective, you won't be thinking of such things anyway. The story deals with typical Neverland topics: growing up, the pressures of being a kid, and the battle between carefree youth and grumpy people. By the way, this is all done without making adults or parents out to be the bad guys. The pace of the movie is great, keeping the kid's interest and being long enough to take them on a meaningful adventure without exhausting their attention span.The best part of the movie is the end when Peter takes the kids home and is reunited with Wendy. It is a great scene and one that brings back memories of the first movie's magic to both young and old. I know my kids loved it. I thought this movie did not strike me as a lot of Disney movies do these days - shallow, trashy and money driven. This is a 1950's style Disney film, not the crud they also release these days with cussing, stupid adults and not too subtle adult themes.
My kids thought this movie was great and a real clean story. Appreciate a kid's movie through their eyes, not an adult's, and you will escape to Neverland with your children enjoying the trip along the way!
