Reviews for Return to Never Land
It delivers laughs, spirit, energy, and shows us that anything is possible through faith, trust, and, of course, a little pixie dust.

Preceded by a 1957 Pluto short, Never Land is a warmly nostalgic throwback.

Top CriticA lively movie with unusual depth of character...
02/15/02
When it comes right down to it, kids don't really care. They just want to see a good story full of compelling characters, and Return To Never Land is that.
02/15/02
What's pleasing about the movie is how faithful it is to the old charms, and how unpretentiously it gets the old groove going.
02/15/02
The film is fun, energetic, and brightly colored and I think kids will love it a lot.
12/08/02
An eminently airworthy sequel to one of the studio's most renowned creations, 1953's Peter Pan.
02/15/02
Top CriticRunning at a brisk 72 minutes, it's near impossible to become bored with the film...
12/05/03
Evokes enough of the first movie to trigger a good time for veteran Pan fans and new audiences.
02/15/02
Top CriticA brisk, reverent, and subtly different sequel.
02/19/02
This is pleasant, safe entertainment that ought to appeal to kids younger than 10, especially to girls, with its female-empowerment fantasy.
02/16/02
Top CriticLess a formulaic continuation than a witty set of themes and variations that fit the earlier picture like a glowing outer ring.
02/16/02
Decent enough--fast-moving, colorful and energetic--but it's hardly an instant classic.
02/14/02
Buzz, Shrek, Sully and Mike can sleep easy.
04/08/03
Disney aficionados will notice distinct parallels between this story and the 1971 musical "Bedknobs and Broomsticks," which also dealt with British children rediscovering the power of fantasy during wartime.
06/03/02
Offers enough playful fun to entertain the preschool set while embracing a wholesome attitude.
11/06/02
Fulfills the minimum requirement of Disney animation.
06/20/02
Certainly capable of entertaining the little ones and clearly nowhere as bad as I feared before seeing it, the film obviously isn't a classic, but it's an enjoyable diversion that most adults probably won't mind sitting through.
