Editorial Review:
The magic, the excitement, the wonder of the true Peter Pan comes to life for the first time in this spellbinding fantasy that critics proclaim "a fun and fantastic tale!" (Daily Herald). Brimming with spectacular special effects and non-stop action, this all-new adventure is sure to be a family favorite for years to come! "One of the finest films of the year!" (Daily Gazette)
Description of Peter Pan (Widescreen Edition):
Fine casting, genuinely special effects, and a keen combination of whimsy and danger make this Peter Pan the one to beat among all previous adaptations of J.M. Barrie's classic children's fantasy. The technical advances of CGI make the magic of Barrie's tale come alive, and the spectacular effects combined with luminous live action create an action-packed Neverland that's both believable and breathtakingly artificial, like a Maxfield Parrish landscape springing vividly to life before your eyes. More important, however, is the fact that director P.J. Hogan (whose splendid films include Muriel's Wedding and My Best Friend's Wedding) has taken care to develop a substantial, pre-adolescent affection between the boyish sprite Peter (Jeremy Sumpter) and resourceful London girl Wendy, played by Rachel Hurd-Wood in a marvelous screen debut. This emotional bond--and the mixed blessing of Peter's eternal childhood--is what gives Hogan's Peter Pan its rich emotional subtext, added to an already bountiful adventure that's equal parts delightful and menacing, especially when the villainous pirate Captain Hook (Jason Isaacs, doubling as Wendy's father) threatens to spoil the fun. With a mischievously dazzling Tinker Bell (played by Swimming Pool's Ludivine Sagnier) and no expense spared on its lavish Australian production, this Peter Pan gets it entirely right by presenting childhood as fun and frightening, in all its wondrous joys and sorrows. --Jeff Shannon
Peter Pan (Widescreen Edition) Reviews:
Best Peter Pan movie there is! 
2009-11-11 - Tired of seeing the Disney versions of every fairy tale there is?
Well then if you like the story of Peter Pan, and you want a non-Disney version, then this is the movie.
I actually saw this in the movie theater when it came out, with no expectations whatsoever. I was actually very impressed.
If you want a comedic version of Peter Pan, then go watch Hook with Robin Williams.
If you want a realistic story version with good acting, then watch this movie.
The stunts and cgi seem to be well done, and there seemed to be nothing lacking in this movie. I highly reccommend it.
Different than the Disney classic 
2009-07-16 - This movie was well done and is enough different from the Disney storyline to make Peter Pan new and fresh again.

Peter Pan Video
2009-06-04 - I bought this video for my 4 year old granddaughter. She had watched it at her day care and asked if she could have it. I had never seen this version and couldn't find it in any stores, so I checked Amazon (should have gone there first!). Needless to say, I have a very happy granddaughter! The quality of the video was very good and I received it within a few days of placing the order.
every family should buy this movie
2009-05-04 - i looked everywhere for this peter pan on dvd (a newer version made in the 2000's) and found it brand new and priced well. the movie is perfect and got to me within a week or less.
