Review of Peter Pan

Peter Pan (2003)
7/10
A nice feature, for adults...
12 September 2004
Peter Pan, the everlasting story about the young boy who doesn't want to grow up.

This presentation of the peter pan "legend" is yet somehow different from all the others. the movie speaks for a somewhat older audience than what you could expect. The characters are more mature and the movie shows you that growing up starts with feelings and particularly love.

I didn't like it how the movie was really leaning toward the psychological part of peter pan, and breaking the fun with repeated profound questions about one's feelings and thoughts. The movie lost it's appeal for children I think, and innocence as well, with all those kisses.

Never the less, the children discovered what's like to be a parent/grown up and prepared to begin this risky, dangerous, tiresome but beautiful part of their lives. Part that peter pan was never willing to take. These are very well represented, but they might not be well understood by 13 year olds.

Peter Pan is a lovely movie suitable for adults and children... Good times and nights ahead.
