 | Peter Pan (1953) - DVD By: Christopher Null - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/23/2007 6:47 PM | |
Peter Pan may be a boy who refuses to grow up, but his movie is really one of Disney's most adult "kids'" films.
Like Pinocchio, there are a lot of mature themes in Peter Pan. The elfin Peter is full of duplicity -- he'll lie to no end to get his way. Peter and the children he has brought with him to Never Land (they don't want to grow up either) visit a local Indian tribe, and with appropriate 1950s un-PC-ness, the smoke'm peace pipe and blow smoke triangles (cue song: "What Made the Red Man Red?"). Wendy and the kids are kidnapped by an extremely effeminate sailor (the immortal Captain Hook, Pan's nemesis)....read the full review |

It's interesting how the passage of time separates truly great films from those that seem pretty impressive in the shorter term but don't stand up as well as the decades go by. Many people would suggest that Disney's Peter Pan belongs in the 'truly great' category. After all, decades after its release, English speaking people the world over are familiar with J.M. Barrie's character, and this is largely the result of the movie, not Barrie's original play. However, I would argue that Peter Pan is a movie with great characters, but it is not itself a great movie...Full marks must go to the animators, writers and voice talent that created these great characters. - Brian Webster

Peter Pan may be a boy who refuses to grow up, but his movie is really one of Disney's most adult "kids'" films...Like Pinocchio, there are a lot of mature themes in Peter Pan. The elfin Peter is full of duplicity -- he'll lie to no end to get his way...Peter Pan, the character, has of course become a timeless entity, and in the end, the messages that there's a time for fantasy and a time reality and that all good things must come to an end, are fair value statements for the kids. It's up to you (assuming you're a parent) to decide if the end justifies the means of getting there. - Christopher Null
