Take this review with a grain of salt, because I am a massive fan of Peter Pan and all things properly based on the James Barrie classic. This sequel, however, made me cringe. I've enjoyed liberal interpretations before - Hook... Full review

This movie was much better than the original, in my opinion. It had better songs, more exciting action, better voice acting, and funnier lost boys. It was a great tribute to Peter Pan and his legacy as well as a great... Full review

I don't know why, but Peter's just SOOOO much cuter in this movie! *blush* Is it just me, or is he sort of drooling over Jane on the front of the DVD? What I really don't understand is the fact... Full review

One thing I've noticed about most Disney sequels is that the storyline tends to be the opposite of the original. It's not different here. In the original "Peter Pan", Wendy has no intention of growing up too soon and instead... Full review

I figured since Disney would be releasing this film in theatres, it had to be pretty good. Unfortunately, this is not true. The quality of the animation is at best only T.V. quality, the exception being Tinkerbell's pixie dust, which looks... Full review

But I'm not trying to divert you: I think this is a charming film, much more enjoyable than I anticipated, and with a disarming simplicity and sincerity.
Return to Neverland is a tale about magic and believing.

This is a forgettable disc for a bland movie.
I thought the Dolby Digital 5.1 soundtrack of Return to Never Land was more satisfying.
On the positive side, the animation does seem stronger than with Disney's DTV flicks.

The animation is, unfortunately, still stuck in the "Atlantis" production value.
Hopefully, "Planet" doesn't succumb to the same box office receipts, because it really is the better movie, and yet another disappointment for Disney would not be a good thing.

Final Thoughts : Peter Pan: Return to Neverland is not a horrendous film.
Return to Neverland is not bad by any stretch of the imagination
Peter Pan: Return to Neverland has an interesting story behind it.
It is just a confusing film.

Consumers would recognize the original films characters, and even if sales were only 50% of the original, there were still huge profits to be made.
The animation I believe is attempting to style off of the original, with a bit of CGI thrown in, but it comes off as looking, again, sub-par, a cheap knock off of the original.
