From my favorite movies..

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

The movie is wonderful and true, an act of love in all its contradictions and complexity

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

Peter Pan2 And A Half Out Of 5Peter Pan is a Disney Animated feature that focuses on its protagonist that contrary to writers' belief, is uninteresting for the audience to invest in it. It derails quickly from its track into a scattered and shallow emotions that are neither impressive in its bits and pieces nor on the bigger picture. It is surprisingly short on technical aspects like songs and background score, although is rich on editing and cinematography along with its amazing animation which it never fails on delivering. The script ruptures its earlier acts in its latter ones on narrowing it down to a repetitive slog that seems overstretched for the commercial aspects as it clearly didn't have much to say with its characters especially not for around 80 minutes. The characters are undercooked and one dimensional and despite offering enough space to its side characters, the enthusiasm and passion is the missing puzzle that comes off as a major disappointment for the viewers as these are the key elements that usually defines the Disney Animation. The writing is weak and full of redundant sequences that are written to draw the laughs and its younger audience which may work but the vacancy of the poetic or metaphorical theme isn't something that can be replaced no matter how entertaining.Peter Pan flies high only to fall flat on its self-created bumpy path that it had previously too fumbled.

This is a great classic for all ages. I recommend this film to everyone.

Peter Pan is a boy who would not grow up and went to a magical land, Neverland. But everything changes when Wendy and her brothers are taken there by his hand. Directed by Clyde Geronimi, Wilfred Jackson and Hamilton Luske, has a screenplay by Ted Sears and his team and a competent voice actors team. The production was in charge of Walt Disney himself.This is one of the most interesting films that Disney released in the life of its founder and master. We cannot say that is the best, but it certainly is very interesting anyway. The drawings were made with bright colors but without excessive glare. The characters are good, steering with the majority of children's stories and the imagination of most children of that time, with the Indians, pirates, fairies and the desire to fly. The plot is good, has excellent situational jokes and the figure of the main villain, Captain Hook, is key to many of these comic moments. Tinker Bell is a very ambivalent character, because it seems to be half in love with Peter Pan, a kind of Platonic love. The musical moments are interesting, though more discreet and less memorable than what we see at other Disney films of the same era.Although there are many criticisms of the way this film portrays the Indians, I do not think the film deserves these same criticisms. I think I've seen much more racist and prejudiced characterizations in many western movies and never saw anyone upset about it. This film is for children and, therefore, all are portrayed (pirates, Indians or even the English) in a way that appeals to children, the target audience of the film itself, regardless of how they are. Does anyone think that the pirates were really like Hook? Of course not.Enjoy this film for what it is, see this movie with child's eyes.

It's the classic J. M. Barrie story. George Darling declares that it's Wendy's last night in the nursery and ties Nanna in the backyard. While the Darling parents are out, Peter Pan chases his shadow to the nursery. John, Michael and Wendy join him to fly to Neverland using pixie dust from Tinker Bell. Captain Hook leads the pirates who vows to get revenge on Peter Pan for the lost of his hand. The crocodile that ate his hand has developed a taste for Hook. Lucky for him, he's ticking after swallowing a clock. A jealous Tinker Bell convinces the Lost Boys to shoot down Wendy bird. Hook and Mr. Smee have kidnapped Indian princess Tiger Lily to find Peter Pan's hiding place.It's a fun Disney classic. Captain Hook and Mr. Smee provide the big broad comedy. The fun is that the cartoon doesn't hold back. The crocodile has sharp teeth. It's inappropriate at times especially with the portrayal of the native tribe and the song "What Made the Red Man Red?" Tinker Bell almost steals the show. The animation is beautiful. It's one of Disney's golden age movies.
