Not an especially mature film, probably the most "kiddie movie" of all the 1950s Disney features.

Reviews for Peter Pan
If you can ignore some of the film's minor flaws, you should have a ripe old time at the movies.

I have to give a special shout-out to Tinkerbell, a Disney creation that I never fully appreciated as a child.

While it's neither the best retelling of Barrie's nursery tale or nor the best Disney cartoon of the era, it is, fortunately, a decent enough example of both.

The Walt Disney Company has broken the vaults wide open to add a plethora of fascinating historic artifacts to make this new Platinum Edition a must-own for any Disney collector.

Never Land? More like Never-Gon-Git-It Land.

Disney's depersonalizing habit of putting different teams in charge of different sections of the story really shows up here.

Top CriticDefinitely a Disney classic but misses out much of the darker side of J.M.Barrie's fantasy tale.

Peter Pan may be a boy who refuses to grow up, but his movie is really one of Disney's most adult "kids'" films.

...if we must have only one enduring account of Barrie's creations, we could do worse.

A cavalcade of classic songs, unforgettable moments, gorgeous handcrafted animation and, unfortunately, some racial stereotypes.

A feature cartoon of enchanting quality.

Top CriticI would argue that Peter Pan is a movie with great characters, but it is not itself a great movie.
12/07/02
Ornamented with some bright and lilting tunes, it is a lively feature-length Technicolor excursion into a world that glows with an exhilarating charm and a gentle joyousness.
