Reviews for Return to Never Land
The animation and backdrops are lush and inventive, yet Return to Neverland never manages to take us to that elusive, lovely place where we suspend our disbelief.

If Return to Never Land ... doesn't have a story to match the original's in breadth and imagination, it does a smooth job of recycling its characters and themes.

Top Critic
Return to Never Land may be another shameless attempt by Disney to rake in dough from baby boomer families, but it's not half-bad.
02/14/02
The production values are up there. The use of CGI and digital ink-and-paint make the thing look really slick. The voices are fine as well. The problem, it is with most of these things, is the script.
02/14/02
Like an extra slice of childhood when you least expect it there, Return to Never Land fulfills its promise.

Top CriticWith an anachronistic soundtrack and uneven animation, Return to Neverland feels like an unasked for, direct-to-video rehash of the original.
02/14/02
...a wonderful surprise.
02/14/02
enough new twists to make a second helping enjoyable
02/14/02
Decent enough--fast-moving, colorful and energetic--but it's hardly an instant classic.
02/14/02
Nice albeit retro animation but nothing of wit to appease the adults in the audience.
02/13/02
If Disney wants to bastardize children’s classics by imagining what happened (later), the least they could do is show a little ambition and imagination.
02/13/02
A tired re-tread of Disney's well-crafted 1953 cartoon version of "Peter Pan".
02/13/02
Everything about it from the bland songs to the colorful but flat drawings is completely serviceable and quickly forgettable.
02/13/02
Amusing and enjoyable...
02/11/02
This is Disney trying to pull the wool over our eyes, this time bringing their straight-to-video sequel to the big screen.
