Peter Pan & Wendy is a 2023 American fantasy adventure film directed by David Lowery from a screenplay he co-wrote with Toby Halbrooks. Jim Whitaker served as producer on the Walt Disney Pictures production, which is a live-action remake of Walt Disney's 1953 animated feature film Peter Pan, in turn based on the 1904 play Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up (also known as Peter and Wendy) by J. M. Barrie. The film stars Alexander Molony (in his film debut) and Ever Anderson in the title roles. Jude Law, Yara Shahidi, Alyssa Wapanatâhk, Joshua Pickering, Jacobi Jupe, and Jim Gaffigan also appear in supporting roles. The story follows Peter Pan and Wendy, who go to the magical world of Neverland with Wendy's brothers and Peter's best friend Tinker Bell. Along the way, Wendy embarks on the adventure that will change her life and encounters Peter's archenemy Captain Hook.

the 2003 Peter Pan remake literally hits all the notes he was talking about. It tries new things, and they actually work. Despite it being live action, Neverland looks AMAZING. Hell even the JOURNEY to Neverland is stunning. Like something out of a dream. The dynamic between Peter and Wendy, Hook and Wendy, Hook and Peter is also incredible. Like, that film is THE benchmark for all Peter Pan movies for me, even the animated one doesn't come close. It still has that spirit of what makes Peter Pan, Peter Pan but when it does try something new, it actually sticks the landing.
God the soundtrack is also so pretty.
100%. Even the CGI holds up fairly good, especially when they are flying. Looks great.
@@zaadus112 That flying sequence is TRULY so magical. The theme too? Gorgeous. So whimsical. I do like the animated one too, with "You Can Fly" the way the chorus is very old timey, like you're hearing it out of the radio is super nostalgic. And the camera movements are AMAZING for the time. But what puts 03 PP above the animated one, is Peter himself. There is a REASON he was EVERYONE'S childhood crush at one point lol. He actually cared a LOT about Wendy, was super protective of her, whereas in the animated on Peter could be downright mean sometimes. 03 Peter could be too, but he still had this boyish charm that cements him as a childhood love. That laugh Sumpter did is just so endearing.
@@TheRibottoStudios One thing I find cute about both movies are how they portray Mr. Bear (The teddy bear) and how the still chain him up like he is a prisoner as well, or even one of the pirates wanting him, that was sweet.
i kinda wished he looked at it after watching this lol. i feel like he would've appreciated how amazing it is a lot more
And the acting is better too
The most embarrassing thing about this film is that the idea of Peter dealing with a more combative and pro-active girl was already done in Return in Neverland and executed much better. Jane was a stubborn and grumpy stick in the mud, but the reasons for that were entirely understandable and she was allowed genuine growth as a character. She's a reverse of the animated film's Wendy and they organically built story elements around that.
Wendy in this film is just the novelty of her as a bratty tomboy with no development beyond that.
I stan a fellow respectful fan of Return to Neverland
Also, I never once got to see RtN in full until recently in my adult years. I missed the beginning, and it's fascinating to me how much context I was missing for the characterization of the characters until I finally got to see the WWII opening. RtN is spectacular, and a legit great Direct to DVD Sequel.
I actually loved the part where Disney lost hundreds of millions of dollars and still didn’t manage to learn their lesson.
If they keep it up they might not be here in the next 10 years.
@@lancethefilmguy9392 Exactly. They’ll be extinct.
Nah Disney has their hands in enough pies that they’ll last longer than that. Seriously look at what they own, it’s kinda crazy.
“How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man??”
@@lancethefilmguy9392let's hope
They broke one important rule. Mr. Darling and Hook are supposed to be played by the same actor in a dual role to convey Wendy's father issues. But this movie broke that tradition for no reason.
This was just a waste of Alan Tudyk's talent. Having him play a stuffy Victorian Brit just felt wrong. It would only have worked if that character was contrasted with him playing Hook.
@@fireriffs Edwardian, not Victorian. The story takes place in 1904.
That's Jumanji
I'm 99% sure they never even realized it was a tradition
@@abrahamlupis9354 Jumanji got the idea from Peter Pan.
If I had a dollar for every original idea Disney has had since 2018, then I'd have 25 cents.

If I had a dollar for every time I have seen this comment, I would have A LOT of dollars
@@TheBlueArmageddoncan I barrow some then? Mouse shaped Debt collectors are knocking on my door. Thanks a bunch
For me, the best Peter Pan live action adaptation keeps being the 2003 version, with Jason Isaacs (Lucius Malfoy) playing both Hook and The Darlings Father.
The scene of Peter outsmarting the pirates being replaced by him fighting them all really says all you need to know. these writers can't think of anything clever. don't use brain power, just plain power.
Disney doesn’t put hidden messages in its films. It bashes you over the head with them.
💯💯
😂😂😂😂
The marketing cracked me up because whoever made this movie clearly thought they were so brave and groundbreaking for putting girls into the lost boys. However, if they read the book, they would know that the reason there are no lost girls is because girls are too clever to fall out of their prams as infants, so ironically they’re diminishing them.
On the seven days of Disneycember Doug send me:

This Movie made every single one of Peter Pan’s Adaptations look like a Masterpiece
Exactly 💯
Even the bad Peter Pan films like Pan (2015) and Peter Pan Live! will still be remembered and talked about than this latest Peter Pan offering.
Including school plays.
@@hunterolaughlinThat Peter Pan film from the early 2000's will always be my favorite.
Agreed. It actually makes me sick to see people find any possible reason not to like it, because not liking live action Disney remakes is so coooool 🙄
In the book, Peter explains, there are only lost boys on his island because girls are too smart to fall out of the cradles as babies and end up lost.
Thought it was cute but it’s gone now.
Congratulations, Disney, you've made the argument that girls can be just as stupid as boys.
Yay?
Wendy not being a mother-like figure continues this weird trend where femininity is seen as "flawed" and something that needs to be "fixed" in these reboots.
In other words, they just write these girls as masculine, which is kinda backwards and sexist in its own way. Femininity and masculinity both have strengths and weaknesses. Wendy being like another lost boy doesnt "empower" her, its just making the statement that she was weak before - despite Wendy being, by far, the most powerful character in the book.
(Note: when I refer to femininity and masculinity I am of course not referring to male/female sex, its a separate thing)
I totally agree. Make them strong and independent, female second, instead of “ girl who is strong and independent”. I’m all for girl power, but make it genuine
that’s definitely an observation that this film has seem to reinforce. It does kinda seem like lately a female character can’t be a strong woman AND maternal anymore (I guess people have stopped watching avatar the last air bender). It doesn’t help that Disney seems to favor poorly written girl bosses and Mary sues lately.
😧 Exactly! I have no idea what is up with Disney where they're trying to make their animated leads have flaws and quirkiness but hell no we can't have the live adaptation female characters have any flaws 😑
@@shootout-shinobi6672 In general, that seems to be a problem when writing female characters.... if not characters in general who they want to portray as "I am strong, and I don't care about gender roles or expectations".
AND the worst part is that you could at least have an interesting scene of people discussing what's "feminity" or what's "masculinity" (or, be extra and include characters who are non-binary or transgender).
EIther the character's take on it, how they feel society and other people trust upon themselves, or their opinion preferences.
You could have say, a female character like a very stereotypically female thing, and make it clear she likes it because She genuinely likes it. It's her own decision and taste to like something that happens to be seen as "stereotypically female".
Or what people see as "strength" in general.
The compare and contrast between someone who is strong physically but either mentally or emotionally weak, and someone who is very weak physically, but VERY strong emotionally and /or mentally. And what the characters want or perceive as a weakness.
You are speaking facts, except for the final note. Yes, while masculinity/femininity and the male/female sex do have some differences (keyword SOME), saying that they are not interconnected to their respective sex in any way whatsoever is just incorrect. Men and women can exhibit both masculine and feminine traits, but men are obviously gonna do a stronger job at displaying masculinity while women do a stronger job at displaying femininity. Because men and women are different, regardless of how hard the media tries to skew those differences. Masculinity isn't always about being overly tough, and femininity isn't always about being delicate. It's nothing disrespectful or sexist, it's a fact.
They seriously had Wendy slap Peter to prove that she's a "Girl Boss." If Peter had physically assaulted Wendy, then he'd be called an abuser. Disney should be teaching their audience that it's not justified to slap anyone, period.
They really have no idea why Wendy is in this story.
It's about elevating females and destroying males.
Amen
To be fair, Peter was abusive in the original book (going as far as to kill any Lost Boy who so much wanted to grow up or cut a guy’s hand off just for the laughs), so he would probably be deserving of at least a couple of slaps - if not an outright punch to the face.
That doesn’t seem to be the case so much with this adaptation.
They made Wendy really unlikable and thats a crime
To me she was the charm of the original film
My favorite part is when Wendy blew off the door to Hook's chambers with a sawed off shotgun and told him "knock knock" and proceeded to blow him away. Powerful stuff.
I actually really like the backstory between Peter and Captain Hook, and I really wish the movie had gone more into it. As it stands, this film still isn't the worst Disney live action remake, but man os it boring. Disney really needs to "grow up" and learn that these remakes just don't work.
Very much agreed
Doug's right, that should've been the focus.
You want a Peter Pan and Hook origin film! Watch Wendy 2020 it’s just that. A really underrated film
The backstory between Peter and Hook is better than some previous adaptations of the story, however this backstory does make Peter (the so-called hero) seem like a complete and utter d**k.
@@L337M4573RKif you’ve read the original story, that’s what Peter kinda is. He’s a borderline sociopath
I've only ever been interested in the 2003 Peter Pan as a live action adaptation and I just knew this wasn't gonna be as awesome.
Universal Pictures did a better job 20 years ago than Disney. Which is funny in my opinion
What I like about that one is that it had big passion behind it
Congratulations, Pan. You’re no longer the worst Peter Pan adaptation.
There’s a book called “Straight on Till Morning” where Wendy returns to Neverland with the help of Captain Hook and the details in that story make more sense than in this movie.
Oh yeah I’ve read that book! I really wish Disney had just adapted that instead of just retelling Peter Pan for the umpteenth time.
Wendy's happy thought was dying alone with no family and kids. Talk about a downer. 😂
“This magic belongs to NO BOY.”
I cringed at that line.
It was supposed to be this empowering moment but it came off as unintentionally funny 😂
Lets just thank Disney for not going to hard in the “PedoPan” paint, esp for that line
“This magic belongs to no boy”

The live action remake people forgot came out this year.
So this year's Pinocchio?
Preach, I'd honestly forgotten that it was even released in 2023, I could have sworn that it debuted in 2022.
@@trinaq💯💯. It’s so bad
Trina and Chase - I thought it came out last year too
Along with Lady and the Tramp (2019) and Pinocchio (2022).
The moment I remember most from the movie With Honors, is when Pesci's character tells Brendan Fraisers character that " winners dont even know they are in a race, they just love to run", that line has really stuck with me.
Hearing Doug review these awful remakes is more entertaining than the movies themselves.
that scene where wendy's happy thoughts is her growing up to be such a girl boss she's literally in a house alone as an old woman cracks me up. You think thats a good future cause you live for yourself all your life then at the end your like "I made such a terrible mistake"
That scene is unintentionally hilarious, disturbing and terrifying
yet the people in hollywood think this empowering, not tragic@@chasehedges6775
I hope Doug reviews Peter Pan & Wendy again as the Nostalgia Critic.
I feel like the changes they made to the Peter Pan story here not only don't work because they are still following the original Disney version but they betray some of the original ideas of the original book. Tinkerbell's jealousy towards Wendy is a huge part of her character, the reason there is no Lost Girls is because the original book implies girls are smart to know better to not to give into the temptations of Neverland. Don't even get me started on how Wendy gets the ability to fly because of some forced, girlpower message.
Despite its flaws, I think Peter Pan 03' is the best live action version of the story. As for Disney's take on J. M. Barrie's story, watch the animated version.
There's also the theory that the reason why Peter was the only one who didn't grow up and was the only one who didn't need Tink's pixie dust was, guess what, because he was dead.
@@RoseBaggins In J M Barrie's canon, this isn't true; the book makes it clear that he is not dead. But he is described as being a psychopomp, as he's described as guiding the spirits of children who've died along part of the journey to the afterlife.
One backstory JM Barrie gives Peter in the book 'The Little White Bird' is that babies are described as having once been birds, and after being born, Peter remembers this and regains his power of flight. Still, when a bird named Solomon Caw points out that he is no longer an actual bird, Peter loses his ability to fly, so he lives in Kensington Gardens with the birds and the fairies for a while, learning how to play the pipes for the Fairy Orchestra. Because of this, Peter becomes only half-human due to the magic he's experienced, known as a Betwixt-and-Between.
The Fairy Queen decides to grant him two wishes one night. He wishes to regain his ability to fly so that he may return to his mother, stating that she keeps the window open for when he returns, and his second wish is to be held in reserve. But when Peter returns home, he finds that he isn't ready to grow up, so he temporarily leaves without waking his mother up, promising to return to her. Twice, he returns home, longing to show his mother affection but fearing awakening her, he plays her a melody on his pipes and leaves once more. Finally, Peter decides to return home permanently, telling the fairies that it was his second wish, but when he returns home, the window is barred, and another baby has been born, so Peter returns to the Gardens.
One of his playmates in the Kensington Gardens is a little girl named Maimie Mannering, who gets lost in the gardens after closing time, and they spend time playing together, even having a fairy wedding. But despite their friendship, Maimie doesn't want to return to Peter, as she knows she wouldn't want to leave him, so she leaves gifts for him, including an imaginary goat that the fairies make real. It's described that every night, the fairies would build a house in case of any lost children Peter finds in the gardens after dark. From what is written about Maimie, she's likely the prototype character for Wendy, as there is a lot of crossover between the two, especially with thimbles and kisses.
Peter does reference some of this story (running away from home and living with the fairies) in the book of Peter Pan, but JM Barrie does state in the narration that no one knows if the backstory is true, but it's what Peter believes. Peter doesn't grow up because that's a choice that he's made, and fulfilled because he's no longer fully human.
I find it hard to believe that the guy who directed this also did _The Green Knight,_ which was awesome.
I wonder, either David Lowery did have complete creative control here Last Jedi-style or he had next to none and Disney hired him just to have the name of a hot, young director on the Poster.
My gut says the latter, because can't you just see the giant wall of notes and a bunch of people around a table going, "What if Peter Pan was blank" and a copy of both the book and original movie is in the garbage can.
I felt like this film should’ve been called “Peter Bland & Wendy”.
Peter Pan Bahar & Wendy
The director even went on record as saying that he was NEVER going to make a movie as good as the 2003 Peter Pan, which he considered the best!!
One thing that I wish they would have done that would have been a nod to the original was have the father and captain hook be played by the same actor. In the orignal cartoon, the same voice actor was used for both. With an actor like Alan Tudyk you could have very easy put him in both rolls.
They did the same thing in the 2003 having Jason Isaacs play both Mr Darling and Captain Hook, I think it comes from the original play where they would have the teo characters played by the same actor? It's supposed to be (I think) about how the children viewed their father/J.M Barrie viewed his father/fathers of the time, so I have no idea why they didn't do that with this adaptation 🤨
The main thing I learned from this remake is that it's perfectly acceptable for girls to slap boys on screen, while the other way around would be assault and spark insane controversy.
The main thing I liked was how Tiger Lily and Captain Hook represented to Wendy the positive and the negative of being a grown up. And how Peter Pan tricks the pirates. Otherwise, it's mostly forgettable.
The biggest problem with this movie is that no one said "my Jack".😊
"Um, Peter? Are you sure this is Neverland? It doesn't look as bright and magical as you described it." "Uh oh, you're right. I think we made a wrong turn at that one star. This looks more like Middle-Earth." "Oh, well, that doesn't sound bad." "The Amazon Prime version." "Let's turn back! NOW!"
Why does this movie exist? Is it to "right" some perceived "wrong" from the animated original? OK, that one's depictions of Native Americans aged like milk, but what else needed fixing? Certainly not Wendy, her brothers, or The Lost Boys' personalities.
There’s only 2 good live action Peter Pan movies, the 2003 Jason Isaacs one and Steven Spielberg’s Hook
Soooo true. Those are the only versions I’ll accept.
EXACTLY!

@@Wii4a11 I love the 2003 version

I want to see you do an full Nostalgia Critic review on this movie.
Followed by a comparison to other adaptations.
It won’t happen unless it gets a physical media release.
@@rckblzr It's a Disney+ original he can review it at any time.
It is so refreshing to hear feedback on a Disney thing that is actually TRYING to be objective in 2023.
I don't know. The Captain Hook backstory just was all over the place when it's explained Peter cut off his hand and fed it to a crocodile. Like yeah, that's still f-ed up he does that in the original story, but Hook is just a evil pirate in the original story so it doesn't make Peter Pan look like a total psychopath who mutilates his friends if they don't follow his ideals.
Just like The Walt Disney Company

💯💯💯. Yep
The completely missed the point of who Wendy is. She’s not supposed to be a b*tch to everyone, she’s supposed to be a loving maternal figure which makes the lost boys question whether or not being a lost boy is what they really want. By taking that away to make Wendy something she’s not, it takes away that part of the film.

Wendy not being a mother like figure continues this weird trend where femininity is seen as "flawed" and something that needs to be "fixed" in these reboots.
In other words, just mean they write these girls as masculine, which is kinda backwards and sexist in its own way. Femininity and masculinity both have strengths and weaknesses.
On a related note, having some of the Lost Boys be born female but identify as masculine could've been super interesting. Trans people have always existed throughout history but wouldn't have fit in anywhere in society.
I really liked the way that the 2003 Peter Pan balanced Wendy's softer, nurturing side and her adventurous nature
Ya' think?!?!
Absolutely
WELL SAID, I hate how modern female characters show hatred of their own femininity and to compensate they have to copy the worst of the male behavior that they point out as bad.
It's after this I have to ask...
Why is Disney still doing this????
*insert Mr. Krabs money meme*
They make big dollars. And we have unlimited Disney nostalgia. You really don’t need more reason than that, even though you probably should.
Because they are Creatively Bankrupt
They are still doing it to push “THE MESSAGE” and get that perfect 100 esg score
@@dantheanimator5072 That word you say. It still doesn’t mean what you think it means…
Things I liked about the movie(some spoilers):
Them flying through the clock
Jude Law as Captain Hook
The crocodile scene(even though it plays no other part in the movie)
Captain Hook's backstory with Peter Pan
Wendy having a flashforward and realizing growing up is just as much an adventure as being a kid
The ship flying
Wendy's house originally being Peter's house
Everything else wasn't terrible, but it wasn't entertaining, either
Movie has Wendy's Happy Thoughts being dying alone in her house with her cat. If someone thinks that's a person's happy thought, then they need therapy.
a lot of the reason a lot of people get mad at race swaps isn't even necessarily do to it feeling pandering, it's that it's a massive double standard and often used as a shield against criticism or potential bad reviews.

I think the reason Disney’s switch’em ups don’t work is not just because the scripts are bad (though that does not help), but because it is clear they are doing it because the chart guy told them it would bring in the best numbers.
This movie is so forgettable that everyone forgets it exists! The good live action Peter Pan movies are Hook and the 2003 Peter Pan movie!
Something I didn't like about this movie is how they add Lost Girls. Pointless diversity for the sake of pointless diversity. But what really annoyed by about it is that it ignores a core piece of lore from the book.
Peter: If a boy falls out of his basket in the hospital and aren't claimed in a week, they go to Neverland.
Wendy: What about girls?
Peter: Girls are too smart to fall out.

Purely because of nostalgia, the 2003 version is better. But I can't say I didn't enjoy myself watching the 2023 version. Basically in every single way the 2003 version was better (acting, story, comedy) but that's not to say that there isn't enjoyment in the new movie. The story of Peter Pan has always been great and will never grow old *wink*.
Hook: You have the boys magic?
Wendy: No, this magic belongs to no boy!"
Me: CRINGE!!!
Here’s the thing people have to understand about these Disney remakes, and even most modern marvel and Star Wars movies, even Disney’s own animation studio now, it doesn’t matter who the director is, Disney only wants a product now, not art. Everything feels so same now, down to the cinematography, humor, and bland and safe stories. Disney has forgotten what it means to take risks and be creative and if they don’t change it could lead their downfall.
Hollywood should stop trying to appeal to "modern audiences" and try to appeal to timeless audiences instead.
Note how the original Peter Pan is 70 years old and is still watched and beloved to this day.
@@joshslater2426The play was written in 1911 but it still has an impact because the themes are timeless. Same reason we still read the Iliad nearly 3000 years later
One thing I did enjoy about this film was the respectable representation of the Indigenous peoples. Unlike the original animated film and the book, including countless other adaptations of Peter Pan.

I think this could’ve worked better as a series instead of a movie (which I actually thought this remake was going to be)
That would make a better series like Eternals would've been better as a series.
My older sister is probably the biggest Peter Pan fan, so growing up I’ve seen basically every iteration. After watching this version, my biggest takeaway was that it was boring. The movie in my opinion followed the basic structure of the original story without making the movie engaging. You have a story filled with fairies, pirates, mermaids, and the magic powers of flying and not growing up. How does one make that boring? Most of the time the characters didn’t even fly around Neverland (which looked more like Ireland than a mythical island), they walked. Also the relationship and chemistry between Peter and Wendy was pretty much nonexistent. Even though Wendy doesn’t want to grow up at first, she is supposed to want Peter to be attracted to her and not see her as a mother figure. The only addition to the story I enjoyed was the part at the end where we find out that Wendy’s house used to be Peter’s. I think that adds a nice touch as to why he would visit the Darling house in the first place. Other than that little detail, I found this to be another forgettable Disney Live Action Remake.
The idea of the Darling House having once belonged to Peter really isn't all too new; I've seen a few people speculate in the past that the Darling House may have been the place that Peter was once born or that Maimie Mannering, a playmate of Peter's from the Kensington Gardens, was potentially a young Mary Darling (there is a bit of evidence in the book), and that the fairy wedding he and Maimie shared could have formed a bond between him and her female descendants.
I will say, this version actually did Tiger Lili justice, she's indigenous, badass, fighting warrior but a sweet friend still, having strength in both the physical and emotional, plus they have her speaking in her native tongue and she's caring towards Peter. I love it!
This version also did Wendy Justice
@@eamonclark4952no lmaooo
@@eamonclark4952 I disagree, this Wendy it's just annoying and rude. For me, 2003 Wendy is the real girl boss, she wanted to have adventures and become a writer, she got the respect of the lost boys without troubles, join the pirates and latter fight against them, got her first kiss with Peter Pan and still went back home to grow up and have a life that will not end with her dying alone.
Yeah, Tiger Lilly was awesome
There's a Vocaloid song about peter pan that has a good plot twist.
In "Portrait of the Pirate F" (don't read if you don't want spoilers), Peter Pan kills hook and, when time passes, he gets bored because there's nothing exciting to do and every day is the same. So he goes to the ship and puts Hook's clothes and start "playing" that he is a pirate.
Then, while Tinkerbell is watching Peter, she remembers a time when she took a child to Neverland, revealing that the last Hook was also a Peter Pan long time ago.
So, at the end, this song is about a cycle of Peter Pans defeating Hooks and, when they get bored, they turn into the new Hook and everything starts again with a new child.
The thing is the only parts I liked about it was the crocodile and the idea that Peter pan and Wendy were separated from a cannon ball but they got back really quickly and the rest is history

I noticed that they barely used the Native Americans in this version of Peter Pan.
Yes, atleast in 'Hook' they gave the explanation that Captain Hook had all the Native Americans killed off because he couldn't find Peter Pan to explain why we don't see any of them
Blimey, and I thought Disney Hook shooting one of his crewmen dead for singing badly was a bit extreme. @@gRinchY-op5vr
@@gRinchY-op5vryeah that movie got dark at times. But I think that element made Rufio even cooler since he embraced NA regalia, costume and warrior spirit etc
This makes Hook look like a masterpiece XD
I mean depending on the viewer, Hook is already a masterpiece or far from it.
@@benwasserman8223 It’s a masterpiece and 90s classic

I’ll give the movie this: The actress who played Tiger Lilly was adorable/ gorgeous/cute. Other than that….
Preach, I hope that she has a long lasting career following this colossal disaster.
@@trinaq💯👍
Just watch Peter Pan (2003)
And Hook with Robin Williams
And the original from the 50s
I’m sick of the same bloody things getting remade time and again. It’s usually either Tarzan, Jungle Book, Pinocchio or Peter Pan. I’d personally like to see more takes on 1001 Arabian Nights, preferably outside of Disney.
Freaking *finally*, I know you don’t like Disney remakes out of principle but I could never find a review of this film that wasn’t “RAH RAH WOKE LEFTIST SJW FEMINSIM RUINED FOREVER” so I’m glad to actually hear a proper perspective on what’s right and wrong with the film.

Honesty, I wish this movie was called "Peter Pan & Hook" and focused around there dynamic, because that's easily the most interesting relastionship in the whole movie.
So far The Owl House is the closest to a positive review.
That was a glowing review if you ask me. He just had one thing he didn't like.
@@SnazzyjazzBro one important thing.

There's only so much "Oh, we can't have *that* [scratch scratch scratch]" you get before one goes, "So, why are you making something you're calling [original title], in the first place?!" (Besides the obvious and craven answer, "We're terrified to stray outside of our familiar IP because we incorrectly still believe that that's where safety and financial success lies.")
I've heard people complain all year that the girls aren't called "lost girls," and there's a very simple reason why they don't that has nothing to do with Disney accepting concepts of gender fluidity: "lost girl" is a semi-antiquated euphemism for sex workers/prostitutes (though it was used as the title of a 2020 for a true-crime drama movie (at least I think it was based on a true story) about a serial killer who was stalking sex workers). It's also the title of Alan Moore's erotic comic series about Wendy, Alice, and Dorothy, and I'm sure Disney doesn't want any brand confusion with that. I'm still not sure how they missed that back in the day with Return to Neverland, in which the main character was marketed as the first lost girl--honey, no you're not.
imo this movie is kind of rushed
also still waiting for:
- 101 Dalmatians the series
- 101 Dalmatian Street
- 102 Dalmatians the movie
- 102 Dalmatians the game
- The Jungle Book the game (SNES & Genesis)
- Toy Story the game (Genesis version ONLY)
- Beauty and the Beast (SNES)
for Disneycember
The only good thing that comes from these remakes is Eventually that well is going to dry up soon. Especially with the performance and reception to this film and 2023's The little mermaid, the public interest is waning and the box office numbers aren't hitting what they use too. This forces Disney to return to their more creative roots and we may start getting Quality films again.
Hook's ship in this looks so much like the Black Pearl. I would bet on it being the same ship reused for this movie.
I mean it’s a good ship design why waste it.
I completely forgot this movie existed. I saw this in my subscription feed pondering what movie this was.
I've never seen this film, but great video nonetheless
I'm just glad Glad Jim Gaffigan was having fun here.
Man... I can't imagine what you think about secret invasion.
I barely lasted the first episode, it’s so BAD
I want an adaptation of the book "Lost Boy" by Christina Henry. It was marketed as the origin story of Hook and how he was the first lost boy. It also portrays Peter as a psychopathic villain, and it shows why they became enemies. It was the only book I ever read where I wanted to re-read it the second I finished it.

No recent live action Peter Pan movie can ever top Hook.
This film's greatest achievement is somehow making Neverland boring. How is that even possible? The 1953 film, the animated series, the Neverland miniseries, the 2003 film, Hook, and even Pan all managed to make Neverland fun and wondrous. This movie makes you want to leave Neverland as soon as possible for how utterly dull it is.
Thank you so much for reviewing this movie and yes it has a lot of rough points and I have some issues with it myself and there are certainly better Peter Pan movies out there and I have a very strong connection to Return to Neverland and the original Disney movie but at the same time I actually did like this movie because I thought that they gave it a good push in some scenes and I really like what they did with the crocodile. Still though it has a lot of problems but also I really enjoyed the sword-fighting scenes but it still falls into a lot of Disney remakes traps. I’m glad to say that I do have my own opinion of it but I can also see why it falls short of the mark and of the majority of fan’s’ expectations!
It's odd, the director is extremely talented, even a good Disney remake.
"even directed*
4:35 the film's color palate looks like how it does on the poster, and it doesn't look good
Also thank you for informing me about this "With Honors" film
Yep. 💯
Yep, that hits the nail on the head. Between their efforts of diversity in film feeling half-baked for the performers themselves usually or the fact that there are sometimes good ideas but the execution never takes advantage of them better, that's Disney's output for the past 6 years for most of their big products, and it's frustrating to see when the have the budgets and resources to take so much better care in those regards compared to most.
Check out the film “Wendy” 2020 it was a very interesting and grounded take on the Peter Pan story. Your complaints on Michael and John about them not being very interesting will be heard and in “Wendy” Michael and John are not in it, but instead new characters James and Douglas who have a very important role in the film. It’s very sad and has a Lord of the Flies theme. I recommend you watch the film because it’s a very interesting and well thought out film on grief and how it can force you to grow up to quickly. As the Pirates are like lepers, kids who are casted out by Pan because they grew up because if you’re sad you will grow up rapidly. I would love if you or anyone talked about this film because it’s underrated film.
This just looked like someone watched Benh Zeitlin's Australian "Wendy" movie and thought they could mix elements in with the remake.
