From Disney wiki:
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 adaptation of Walt Disney's 1953 animated 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, Molly Parker, Alan Tudyk, 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.
Development on a live-action Peter Pan film began on April 13, 2016, with Lowery directing. Lowery was announced as writing the film with Halbrooks, while the production team expanded the next four years due to work in the remake's script. The film's title was announced on January 7, 2020. Production was expected to begin in April 2020 and wrap in August that year but was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Filming ultimately began in March 2021 in Vancouver, British Columbia. Shooting also occurred on the Bonavista Peninsula of Newfoundland and Labrador, in August 2021, and in the Faroe Islands. - Розваги
The 2003 version is by far the best adaption, perfectly blending the magic of petar pan with the seriousness with captain hook and Wendy's story of growing up
That’s so cool that Ben works as a child acting coach! I really enjoyed hearing him break it down and discuss how this new Peter Pan’s performance could’ve improved (and thank you Ediz for bringing it up! 😁)
Wasn’t sure how much of that we should include in the video so I’m pleased you found it interesting! ✌️☺️
@@EdizAndBen Please do a reaction of Peter Pan (2003) for comparison.
I did wonder how you and Ediz are so good at dancing and performing…does he also work in the arts?
@@EdizAndBen Joaquin Phoenix was offered the role of Captain Hook then he turned it down
@@EdizAndBenthe pirate who who shoots the door on him that is the same pirate who shot him in the 1953 in Crow's nest skylight
The 2003 Peter Pan is still the superior Peter Pan movie in my opinion with Hook being the best film overall with the Peter Pan IP
Hook is a perfect example of how to tell a new story based on the original… Disney should take note.
Also interesting that in Hook the lost boys were so diverse and no one batted an eyelid… 🤔
Peter Pan 2003 makes me feel embarrassed for Disney. How is this what they come up with in 2023?
This has been the most entertaining commentary I've seen in a while! As a viewer it's easy to tell you two are friends because your chemistry is dynamic and natural. Glad I found y'all today :D
I recently watched the 1953 version and rewatched the 2003 version (my favorite as well) to compare, and the former two definitely have a charm that this new one did not seem to capture. Visually, there is not a lot outstanding, except for a handful of interesting shots. This trend of making everything so gosh darn **dark** is frustrating! I respect utilizing visuals as representation of characters' feelings, and I really felt they could've done something like that here by making their London home rather dreary in the beginning and Neverland full of life, and then as the story progresses and Wendy and the boys become homesick, Neverland becomes darker and more threatening, and when they return home everything seems brighter and full of hope.
I agree about the supporting characters -- visually dynamic, but with the depth of a puddle, unfortunately. Tinkerbell's actress actually exuded a lot of charm in the scenes we did see her in, and I'm not opposed to them characterizing her differently from the original, but it would've been nice if she played more of a role in the story. The original Tinkerbell had a lot of personality and her own character arc of overcoming her jealous and possessive nature, and this one is just sort of there.
Same with Tiger Lily. I totally agree that just because the representation is more sensitive, doesn't mean that it has to be boring and generic (I didn't really understand why she was the leader of the Lost Boys either). Setting aside the racial depictions of her fellow Natives, Tiger Lily was memorable in a positive way in the original because she was brave, not due to brandishing a sword or knowing how to fight, but because she refused to betray her friend despite her own life being in peril. Like, what a legend!
As far as the Lost Boys, I took issue with the inclusion of girls for two reasons: for one, throwing a few girls in there and still calling it the Lost Boys both feels pandering and almost makes it seem as though "boys" is the more preferred term. Like, why aggressively say "so!" to Wendy for pointing out the obvious? And they make no effort to have this change make sense, not even in a throwaway line. It's just kind of like, "if you have a problem with the name, then you're the problem!"
My second reason for why I disliked including girls in the Lost Boys is that in my opinion, the fact that they are boys is integral to the plot and to the characters' interactions. Tiger Lily and Tinkerbell (and the mermaids) are the only females Peter has interacted with, and they exist in the realm of his fantasy world where they aren't a threat to Peter's desire to never grow up. Wendy is completely different to Peter both because she is from the real world and because she is a girl in similar age to him. When it comes to the Lost Boys, they have only known the rowdy and undisciplined life of indulging every childish impulse, and it isn't until Wendy introduces the idea of stability and motherhood that they long for something more. I think it makes sense for them to see her as a maternal figure since she has a caring and warm personality and, as the eldest, is used to looking out for her own brothers. The fact that they are all boys and she is a girl further supports the contrast between the Lost Boys' interactions with her versus their interactions with Peter. If they wanted to include girls in the new one, I think perhaps having the youngest be a girl might work, since Wendy would still be an elder feminine figure who introduces the group to new concepts.
I definitely feel, though, that the movie's two weakest points are its titular characters. Peter lacks energy of a youthful spirit and often feels pushed aside to make way for Wendy. And Wendy... oh Wendy. Disney (and others) seem to only be interested in one type of heroine these days: the fiesty, no-nonsense, loud, don't-need-no-man-to-save-her female protagonist. Why Disney execs believe that stripping a female character of all her feminine traits and replacing them with masculine ones is progressive, I'll never understand. Like, slapping Peter in the face? Violence towards friends isn't cool just because you're a girl!
Anyways, I've had thoughts on the movie, but hadn't sat down and properly sorted through them, so thanks if you've read this far! Great reaction, fellas :D
“Visually stunning but with the depth of a puddle” 😂🤣 That’s got to be the most accurate review I’ve heard of the supporting characters so far!
Thanks for sharing all your thoughts, thoroughly enjoyed reading through and agreeing with each point you made !
So pleased you found us too! If you like Disney movie reactions then we’ve got heaps more on our channel! ✌️☺️
@@EdizAndBen Aw, y'all made my night with your reply! And good to know, will subscribe 🙂
You two are so much fun to watch. Love the honesty, discussion and edits!
Ahh Thankyou! We put a lot of time into the edit so I’m pleased you enjoy it
☺️👍
Was hoping it would have the same slapstick humor as the original 1950s film, it would have been hilarious seeing Jude Law bonking his head and acting extremely silly when it came to the crocodile just like the 1950s Captain Hook, lol.
There was even a moment where he landed in the jaws of the croc and I thought he was going to do the splits to reference the original and be a bit slapsticky… but no… they didn’t let us have any fun… lol
@@EdizAndBen Yeah it's a shame, would have been absolutely hilarious if they also included that iconic scene where Smee accidentally hits Captain Hook in the head with the hammer, but yeah they should have had more fun with it.
In the original Peter Pan, Wendy and the 2 boys actually enjoyed Neverland, but in this movie it feels so unrealistic that they'd enjoy it. Like you two said, it's traumatic thing after traumatic thing without that fun they had in the original. How I think they could've fixed this is with the Tigerlily's tribe scene... But just like not racist? You can show the kids having fun in the tribe with Tigerlily, but depict their culture in a realistic way while keeping the scene fun. It shouldn't be exaggerated and offensive and stereotypical (like the original), but also not dull, lifeless, and generic (like in this movie). Also, if they wanted to keep her stoic, then the kids could play with the other kids in the tribe. This isn't my only point, there could be a lot of opportunities for the kids to have fun in Neverland, but it seems all those opportunities were missed.
So many missed opportunities… why don’t they want us to have fun 😭
Thanks for commenting!!
Yeah i actually really enjoyed Peter Pan I didn’t really like Wendy though, although i did like Peter Pan and Captain Hook, Jude Law was AMAZING he did a great job, as for tinker bell I am a HUGE Tinker bell fan i have Tinker-bell jewellery i have a doll of Tinker-bell so i feel like the actress wasn’t as great she did an okay job but she didn’t really have the sassiness of Tinkerbell or anything, it was really creepy to see her talk at the end cause fairies don’t talk so that was weird. But other than that i really enjoyed it up there with Pinocchio.
When you talked about Tinkerbell saying that she was iconic she is iconic cause she had her own movies she was in the old menu Dvd logos back in the day so she is Iconic and i think people forget that sometimes.
Oh she is definitely iconic and yes, they pretty much removed her sassiness and forgot to replace it with anything else 😅
Thanks for commenting Mila!
@@EdizAndBen your welcome Ediz and Ben not a problem 👍 yeah i do agree with you they pretty much gave her nothing to do which is unfortunate. From the Original Peter Pan Movie she has alot of sassiness to her and that short tempered of hers, so i wish they did that but they didn’t, but she is defiantly very Iconic.
I thought it wasn't a patch on Hook
Not enough Rufiooooo
7:15 just watching that made me dizzy😂. The movie I thought was fine but I actually prefer your reactions to the movie than the movie itself.
So that was my only flight rehearsal and we had to go through every move of the whole show in about 2 hours. By the end I felt so sick I went to my dressing room, got under my desk and slept until the evening show 😂 so yes… very dizzy! 😂
Pleased you enjoyed our reaction! ✌️☺️
It was heartwarming and cute and I liked the expansion of the backstories
I love that you seem to find the good in every movie! Is there a movie you really didn’t enjoy??
I loved that you reacted very positively but at the same time seeing their flaws and virtues and commenting on the scenes , I congratulate you both
They gave the Crocodile one scene.
Great commentary. The movie is....eh lol. Can't wait till yall do y'alls Silver Age of Disney Ranking.
We’ve got the next package era movie coming out soon! It’s nearly ready 🙌
@@EdizAndBen woohoo, excited.
just to educate you two on something that isn't personal or anything but the "shark from jurassic world" ben named earlier is actually called a mosasaurs and the theory ediz was thinking about is that peter pan is a villian and in the original book he was the villian and basicly liek the grim reaper and never land was like an after life and captain hook was one of the kids that survived and grew up somehow and now has a "hatered" for peter pan
fun fact: the original author of the peter pan OG book gave the rights to a hospital which disney had to get the rights for that hospital for in order to make the OG animated film
Always love fun facts, especially when dinosaurs are involved so thanks for this!!
Neverland being like the afterlife is really creepy but also kinda makes sense 😬
Bonus fact: the hospital is called Great Ormond Street Hospital. It’s really famous here, there’s even a statue of Peter Pan as you walk into the hospital!
Thanks for the comment!! ✌️☺️
Where is the cheeky chappy lad Peter Pan!? There wasn't much of the relationship of Pan and Wendy....
It's ment to be a fun story where you want to be in neverland and then Wendy spends most of the time wanting to go home...
The other Pan movie was much better - I agree 👍🏻
Yh it’s like they just stripped him of a personality… like… why???
😅
Thanks for commenting! ☺️👍
God now I wanna go watch the 2003 version
I don’t know why Disney decided to make a live-action Peter Pan because Universal already made the perfect live-action in 2003. If they wanted to make another live-action, they should have done another movie, because I feel the draw of Disney live-action remakes is that they’re not good but you can’t find anything else of similar quality to watch with the same IP. But that not the case here. Universal has BLOWN them out of the water.
Why suffer through this monstrosity from Disney when there is Universal's Live Action Peter Pan Movie from 2003. It's the only Live Action adaption that is the most faithful to both the Book and Play. I've also always thought of Spielberg's Hook as a Prequel to Universal's adaption, with it being so magical and similar in tone. ✨
Is it me....or do all the pirates seem more like they should be in The Pirates of the Caribbean series. I am only watching this for you guys btw because I do value you opinions. Ediz and I are more on the same page most of the time but there are times that I agree completely with Ben. I just don't feel any magic in any scene. I went into it with an open mind like I do every movie....but nothing gives me a nostalgic feeling of my childhood while watching Peter Pan. Loved the video though guys. I can't wait until you watch the original! So psyched!!!!
Yes! The pirates definitely feel like they are in a more fun movie than everyone else so that probably explains it! 😅
And it will be interesting for Edz to see the original as most people would’ve watched them the other way round!
Thanks for your comment and your kind words!! ✌️☺️
Yeah they walked into the wrong movie.
OMG, I have too much to say. 1st, Love to see you guys! Second, 6 yr old me would have been hospitalized heart throbbing over Ediz Pan 😍. 🤣
I agree with you 💯. I struggled with this movie so much. As a Native American, I'm relieved that Tigerlilly was understated. Native Americans tend to be very stoic in real life. Lmao! I don't know what the ethnicity of the actor who plays Peter Pan is, but my first thought was, oh, that explains the panflute from the animated film.
Finally, More Ben in tights, please! 🤣🥰😘🥰😘 Love you guys! You're my favorite!
Thank goodness you never saw him when you were 6! 😂
And Im pleased that you were happy with the Native American representation… even if it was incredibly dull 😬😂
Thanks for commenting as always
✌️☺️
@Ediz And Ben Dull, yes, but what did make me laugh is that Native Americans do tend to speak in riddles and proverbs, sometimes over-mystically; even today, and I got chuckles from that.
First of all, this movie was pretty decent and I found it enjoyable. Second of all, love the new icon pic. Change can be good or bad and this change was definitely more than good 👍
Pleased you enjoyed the movie Isiah!
And thanks, I’m pleased you noticed and approve of the new pic! We changed our channel banner too 😅👍
@@EdizAndBen It's really good 👍

Can’t believe I’m going to say this but…. You may not need to ask a third time 😬👍
@@EdizAndBen Is That A Strong Hint That It Is Coming SOON?!
Is It Possible You Can Give Us A Hint Of Who Will Be Included In The Playable Roster Or As An Assist Trophy?!

Disney Smash Bros 3? Maybe….. Also put Anna frozen in it and belle as well…
Great vid as always guys!!! I feel Ediz won't sleep now in case of Ben's sinister side haha :)
Mwahahahahah 😏
I honestly think you guys aren't being hard the kid who plays Peter Pan. I think child actors need honest feedback with actual critical criticism to let them know and for them to hopefully get better with his/her acting. I find it weird that for some reason, when a child has given a very good acting performance in a film are being highly viewed up on the same level with the adult actors, let alone being nominated for awards mostly if not all within adult categories. That most of us adults are fully okay with acknowledging a good performance and other adult actors giving out advises to some of the kid actors. Yet, when a child's acting performance is indeed poor, adults are very skittish and no willing to acknowledge these aspects to child actors. When child actors probably need these honest feedbacks and how it might hinder any child's performance for the next film or two. By the way Ben, I really appreciate and get excited when you'd give out interesting film facts. It's very cool and the insight you'd have within these reactions. Keep on doing it! Also the whole "Peter Pan and Wendy" title thing. The only explanation as to why I think it's called that is because of a call back when the Peter Pan story was actually published (same author) within a book format than it was originally the play version. The Peter Pan book was actually called "Peter and Wendy". So....the film technically got something right and not because of oh wow, women power thing entirely (I still feel like it kind of was, but eh).
I agreed with you guys about Peter lacking charm and the magic that hes suppose to have. Maybe he was hired for the emotional scene at the end but he just felt off to me. Id love to hear more of Bens experience with being an acting coach, so cool! I also agree, should have been more fun in the movie and more color. Too dark, but I liked Wendy the best! Jude Law was really good too. I felt like Tink was kinda flat actually, missed the physical acting were used to with her character.
Yes I thought that Wendy did a really good job actually! And I think that if Tink was actually given a storyline she might not have felt so flat… she was kinda just there for the whole movie…
Thanks for commenting ✌️☺️
I'm gonna watch the film Soon! So ill let u know ow my thoughts once I've seen it and your reaction! ❤ I love the new icon and channel art btw! 😊
Love that you are the first to notice the new icon and channel art 🙌🙌🙌
Thought we’d do a bit of a rebrand
😬👍
@@EdizAndBen it looks fantastic! 😁
Question: why were so many live versions of Peter Pan performed by a woman? I ask because in the original movie, he didn't sound young enough to where having a woman play him was the best course of action. He sounded almost pubescent. Just genuinely curious is all
You mean being a Disney fan isn’t a full time job?
OMGosh I’m working on it! 😂😂😂
(I’m secretly hoping our UA-cam could be our full time jobs one day 🤞😬 )
Film was less a remake of the '53 film, but a decent adaptation of the book, which is named Peter Pan and Wendy. I get the impression if this didn't have the Disney branding but remained the same otherwise there wouldn't so many people review bombing it.
That said, the things they focused on are offset by the things that got left out. I like seeing Peter's more colder traits front and center, but they do leave out the whimzy of Neverland and why it's an interesting place to live in.
Yes I definitely agree! If it wasn’t made by Disney people wouldn’t care enough to review bomb it. But also, I don’t think many people would pay it much attention at all because it really is an unremarkable film with so many missed opportunities.
And I didn’t actually realise there was a book named Peter Pan and Wendy! So thanks for that 👍
Loved seeing Peter’s colder side too, but we didn’t get to see any other side of him so he ended up coming across quite flat rather than the deep 3D character I think they were aiming for.
And don’t get me started on Neverland! 😂😂
Thanks for commenting and adding another side to the discussion ✌️☺️
Ohh Disney live action remakes…😅
Where's Disney smash bros brawl
Was kind of hoping they dared play the whole they’re all children who passed away at the end to make up for 2/3rds of a really meh story
Awful movie. I'm not afraid to say it! The actor playing Peter Pan is awful! Neverland is awful. Where’s the fun? And for god sake! Where is the colors?!? This is Neverland for christ sake! Many are hating on tinkerbell and her acting, I actually really love it! I think she has great charisma, good acting, the only problem is her look. The dress is a little to much. A little less detailed would be better, It looks very designery and please for god sake does anyone know how to add light to the good damn scenes!!! SHE'S A FAIRY!!! She is suposed to glow!
I think we are in agreement here!! What are your thoughts on the new little mermaid??
Oh boy... Lets not go there...
But in short... Nicely put: I dont like it.
I will say one thing though. I like the scene with the song in her head, when shes on land for the first time, contrary to many others who finds it wierd or just doesn't like the song.
Im scared for all the other planned movies... Snow white, Lilo and Stitch, Moana, Hercules, Hunchback of Notre Dame, and I dont even wanna know what else...
At least im somewhat looking forward to Wish
Its sad almost. My favorit movies used to be Disney and Marvel. They are both doing it so wrong these days...
Anyway. Love ur channel
Quick side note. After writing this I see, you just posted a q/a 😅 Haven't watched it yet, but hope you answers some of my questions in there. Otherwise future content
Haha, yes we plan to upload every other week but it doesn't always go to plan 😂
Definitely check out our q&a and our little mermaid reaction has just gone up to.
In response to who runs the channel, we both do the editing and uploading but yes Ben is the one commenting (hi ✌️😊) and Ben does the thumbnails too. We are currently trying the raise funds to get another editor so we can upload more consistently. That would be great!
Anyways, I've seen you commented lots a while back so just wanted to say thank you for your support ✌️😊
About the commenting: Yeah found your channel a couble of months back and have been binge watching ever since (I do that with a lot of other channels too, plus I... Well I have a life too, so just watching like 10 videos actually takes like a whole week. All cought up now though. Now the problem is there I cant watch multible videos a day anymore, and I like to do wait a few weeks/months and then catch up again. Thats a problem I know (or I think I do) cause the algorithm likes new stuff getting a lot off views, not old stuff. So its better to watch it as soon as they drop)
Okay I promise I have no more to say now 😁
Talk to ya in the next one (and thanks for responding!!!) 👋
This movie suck
agreed
