But when Pan's nemesis, the pirate Captain Hook, causes trouble, the kids begin to miss their old life.

Critics Consensus

Though it doesn't delve deeply into the darkness of J.M. Barrie's tale, Peter Pan is a heartwarming, exuberant film with some great tunes.

"Peter Pan" comes alive whenever the animators cut back to Hook and his scurvy swabbies.

It is doubtful if the wistful fantasy has ever been done with such charm and beauty as fills the Walt Disney version of James M. Barrie's fanciful play.

In the 36 years of its existence, the movie has aged as little as Peter himself. It is still a lush, bright feature that happily clicks along with rollicking songs by Sammy Cahn, Sammy Fain and others.

Disney’s all-animated technicolor version of the J. M. Barrie classic is loaded with laughs and is sure to be entertaining for adult movie ' goers as well as the small fry.

Even if one chooses to play ignorant to the problematic backbone that is present in nearly every scene of the film, the world is never explored in a particularly interesting sense and the drama often is underwhelming.

Porque é muito difícil avaliar os clássicos. Divertido, simples e acho que o humor ainda funciona. Acredito que o tema do medo de crescer é divertido e relevante para um público amplo. O filme não aborda nada muito profundo, mas ainda assim passa uma mensagem legal.

Memorable music and energetically performed heartening charm are the pixie dusts that still sparks this timeless classic’s delightful flight, despite anchored down by problematic aspects that’s become minimally bothersome for older knowledgeable viewers whilst children’s imaginations will be dazzled. One thing for sure, it’s emotionally touching over its earnest themes regarding growth that validates the ideal stance defining its entertainment value. (B+)
