Leave your thoughts about Peter Pan.
| New York Daily NewsKate CameronPeter Pan has been done in the style for which Disney is noted. It is one of his best productions and, I believe, is closer to the author's idea than any other presentation of the story, as the Disney medium is ideally adapted to the fantasy. |
| Seattle Post-IntelligencerSean AxmakerLike the schoolkids in this adventure, from the opening images to the closing credits, I do, I do, I do believe in fairy tales. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EberttT never grow up is unspeakably sad, and this is the first Peter Pan where Peter's final flight seems not like a victory but an escape. |
| Chicago TribuneMark CaroIt's as if the movie itself has been sprinkled with fairy dust, and good thing, too: The world of Peter Pan is, at heart, so troublesome that it might as well also be enchanting. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliUnlike last year's disastrous "Pinocchio" with Roberto Benigni, this movie proves worth the time, effort, and money to get the whole family to a theater. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanA bright, whirling pinwheel of a movie that tosses around special effects like confetti, but the techno magic is graced with a touch of sensuality. |
| Washington PostAnn HornadayImbued with a greater degree of psychological darkness than before. |
| The New York TimesDana StevensMr. Hogan understands both themes, and his filmmaking style is a perfect mixture of wide-eyed wonder and slightly melancholy sophistication. |
| Charlotte ObserverLawrence ToppmanIt's gay in the old-fashioned sense, a giddy whirl for the senses, from chilly English drawing rooms to lush Neverland jungle. It's innocent in believing love banishes all ills, even physical ones, and inspires unthinkable heroism. |
| Village VoiceMichael AtkinsonUniquely jacked into a ripe sense of antique-nursery Victoriana and buzzing with a pre-adolescent metaphoric charge, J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan is a primary text of modern culture, and P.J. Hogan's live-action rendition is the only one, screen or stage, to completely uncage this changeling and give it flight. |
