VHS Movie Reviews of Peter Pan in Return to Never Land (Walt Disney Pictures Presents)
Movie Review: Pretty darn good!
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Movie Review: Worth seeing
Summary: 3 Stars
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.Movie Review: No faith, no trust, and little pixie-dust...
Summary: 1 Stars
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!!
Movie Review: War, Bombs and Family Abandonment
Summary: 1 Stars
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.Movie Review: My niece loves it, so that's good enough for me
Summary: 4 Stars
I have to admit, I barely watched this sequel to Peter Pan, but had purchased it for my two-year old niece, who loves the Disney original. From the second the animation began, she was clapping and giggling and her interest was held for the full 73 minutes. She cried in some parts as well, but mainly just loved to see her familiar Peter Pan friends in a new adventure.
