Beautiful, magical and absolutely fantastical retelling of J.M. Barrie's classic tale, PETER PAN - the special story of a boy who could never grow old, who took three children into his world where pirates, mermaids and indians dwelled, and where dreams really could come true. This film is amazingly well-acted and surprisingly, only one child in this film annoyed me; however I do believe that he was set out to do so, and if so, he does succeed. The film is also very handsome looking, with its fairy tale like qualities and so on. Of course, since it is quite faithful to the original text, this PETER PAN is a dark journey into an imaginative world, rather than an always happy and comically thrilling movie. The mermaids in this film are portrayed as traditional, hissing, creepy villains. Overall, this film succeeds as being excellent, although it does have its share of minor flaws.
