It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

I Ain't didn't got no doubt for disney, but there is weather in the film is thunderstorm and rain. After jane found the treasure in dead man's cave and during the celebrated -like celebration of her as a lost girl, one of the boys mistakenly found the whistle at first.As captain book And his crew captured Peter pan and all the lost boys, and even the treasure,Which this prevents captain hook of Peter pan not getting hurt and Peter calls her a traitor, and all because she does believe in fairies tink's light is about to go out. Which is why is a mistake and sacrifice and should not had happened in the first place from disney. And jane also has a pet dog-animal called nana ii a saint berand.

As a Disney-sequel it is fine. I was not blown away by a star quality animated movie, but I was pleasantly surprised by certain aspects of it. The animation was actually pretty good with fluent movements and vibrant colours. Hook's ship and its flight through London was awesome. The voice actors they hired for this sequel sounded much like the original voice actors, and that is a plus that surprised me. Hook is more a VILLAIN in this rendition and I found it good balancing his comedy out a little. His comedy here is not as funny, though.The main plot was suitable for a sequel to Disney's Peter Pan.. Wendy's daughter, Jane, does not believe in Peter Pan and all that stuff, because of WWII is around and she must act adult. But that is sadly a major flaw, too. In the beginning Jane is looked down upon by her siblings and in parts also Wendy for being resourceful. That is a bad handling of a message about being a child during war time. I liked everything about Return to Neverland except that major flaw. It could have been an outstanding Disney Sequel, but settled for the "less bad" category.

Peter Pan: Return to Neverland is not as bad as you might have heard or seen it's actually a pretty good movie sequel to the 1953 Peter Pan. It takes some things from the first film and changes some other ones for example instead of the Crocodile from the first one here we have an Octopus for what it is it worth the wait. Peter Pan 2 is a good as the first film and a little bit better sure it has some issues like the humor sometimes and it's slow at times also the effects look kinda fake in 2 scenes mostly with the ship of Hook but it's still a good movie full of charm, laughs and adventure. And i think Jane was better than Wendy if you love the 1953 Original you will love the 2002 Return to Neverland.

Sequel to classic history with an enjoyable Peter Pan , adventures , imagination ,astounding as well as gorgeous sets and brilliant images , though it was originally planned as a direct-to-video release in which the protagonist of the story results to be Wendy's daughter and is set in London during World War II . The picture mingles action , feats , humor , tongue-in-cheek , fantasy and a lot of entertainment . The film centers about Peter Pan (voice by Blayne Weaver) , a nice adolescent who doesn't want grow up , Wendy , her daughter Jane and brothers . As Jane is kidnapped by Captain Hook from parents' home and they are going to Neverland . As main starring is abducted by Captain Hook and Peter Pan must come to the rescue in order to challenge his old enemy . Peter Pan , Tink and Lost Boys (they were boys who fell out of their prams while the nurses weren't looking , whereas Peter Pan is a permanent resident of Never Neverland, the lost boys are only temporary lodgers , if they seem to grow up, Peter Pan sends them home) will take on captain Hook , Smee and pirates henchmen . As Peter Pan's quest to go back Jane safely home is jeopardized until she can start to believe in the magic of imagination . The film contains emotion , humor , fantasy , songs and a lot of fun . The plot is similar to Walt Disney's classic replacing Wendy with her daughter Jane who along with Peter undertake several adventures in Neverland ; as Pan with the help of her and the Lost Boys must save his friends by battling with Captain Hook and Smee once again . From the beginning to the end the amusement and entertainment is interminable . An entertaining movie , a little tiring when the characters are singing , but is still shines . The highlights film are the marvelous images when Peter Pan and Jane are flying throughout Neverland , it turns out to be colorful and delightful . Due to controversy over their appearance in original movie , as Disney attracted negative comments for their stereotypical depiction of Indians, as indeed did J.M. Barrie with his original play , it's probably for that very reason that the Indians do not appear in this 2002 sequel , though Peter and Jane briefly visit their places , however ; as they fly over Tipis , Indian tribes and skull monument . The giant octopus was created as a new nemesis for Captain Hook because it was felt that the Disney animators had exhausted all the comic possibilities of "Hook vs. the Crocodile" in the original Peter Pan (1953). The octopus's tentacles make a "Pock! Pock!" sound that is similar to the "Tick Tock!" sound heard from the crocodile in the previous film . Although original author J.M. Barrie is credited, this sequel and its original were the only major films versions of "Peter Pan" and both of them use little of his original dialogue . Because most of the original voice cast of the movie had died, including Hans Conried (Hook) and Bobby Driscoll (Peter Pan), an entirely new cast of actors had to be used to film this sequel such as Corey Burton as Hook , Jeff Bennett as Smee , Kath Soucie as Wendy , Roger Rees as Edward , Spencer Breslin as Cubby , Bradley Pierce as Nibs and Clive Revill . Many Peter Pan purists were very upset by the characterization of Tinker Bell as a petulant and voluptuous young woman as old film ¨Peter Pan¨ as its sequel the ¨Return to Never Land¨ . The fable will appeal to adventure and classic tale fan . Rating : 6,5/10 above average . It's a terrific familiar amusement that will appeal to vintage tale fans .Other films and stage productions dealing with this classic personage are the followings : The original Broadway production of "Peter Pan", or "The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up" by J.M. Barrie opened at the Empire Theater on November 6, 1905 , it ran for 223 performances, closed on May 20, 1906, and starred nineteenth-century stage actress Maude Adams, who never made any films ; silent film ¨Peter Pan¨ (1924) starred by Virginia Brown Faire as Tinker Bell , it uses much of Barrie's original dialogue ; Peter Pan (1953) with voice by Bobby Driscoll, Kathryn Beaumont, Hans Conried ; ¨Hook¨(2001) with Steven Spielberg with Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook , Robin Williams , Freddie Highmore , Julia Roberts , Bob Hoskins as Smee , Maggie Smith and Caroline Goodall ; ¨Finding Neverland¨ (2004) by Marc Foster with Johnny Depp as James M Barry , Kate Winslet , Kelly McDonald as Peter Pan , Julie Christie , Radha Mitchell , and recent version ¨Peter Pan¨ by JP Hogan with Jeremy Sumpter , Raquel Wood and Jason Isaac .
