Great film, just watched it again today for the hundredth time it seems.
Robin Williams great as Peter Pan regaining his form after he "grows up".

Robin Williams great as Peter Pan regaining his form after he "grows up".
Message from the film still applicable today: Be there for your young ones, at all times, especially when they are young. Someday we all grow up, although all to fast it seems. This movie allows you to think like a kid again, when things were simple.
Music is better than I remember, very upbeat and great accompaniment to action and mood.
In summary, great for kids and young-at-heart. I still watch this movie every year at least once. Buy it on DVD or Blu-Ray to continue the happy thoughts.… Expand

Looking back on Robin Williams career it sure isn't his best film.

It's a film that's made for little kids and as an 18 year old one you could say well the entire film is childish, but looking the film like you are 8 years old again gives you the feeling like what happened to me when i was still playing outside. The acting isn't perfect the entire set isn't perfect and it has certain musical feeling to it, although the music is fantastic by John Williams "as always". It gives you this warm feeling of being a little child again and makes you want to believe all the fantasy stories again. Certainly it could have been better, but it could also have been worse. I enjoyed it when i was a little kid and i enjoy even now as a more grown up person and knowing that Robin Williams isn't with us anymore, this sure is a film that will give us great memories about him.… Expand

I may be one of the rare few here but i believe this movie was beautiful when i was a kid and when i grew up. even watching it now it still represents the child in us all and relates to us. The movie shows how making your job more importantI may be one of the rare few here but i believe this movie was beautiful when i was a kid and when i grew up. even watching it now it still represents the child in us all and relates to us. The movie shows how making your job more important than family can cause a great deal of resentment in your family, during the movie you see the transition from robins being a hard tense father who prioritises his work life over family,to him slowly understanding how much he has neglected his children and slowly but surely tries bonding with them and tries showing that in his effort to try rescue them and prove he can be a great father.

this appeals to the Peter Pan fans as well and in my personal opinion apart from the Peter Pan by disney this is by far the most best on there is as it shows what happens when Peter finally decides to stop growing up and how things would have been if he decided to become a adult. Movie filled with beauty and wonder, i honestly hope people watch this movie and really try understanding the magic behind it.… Expand

This is a beautiful piece of escapism with incredible elaborate sets. It's magical and imaginative it just completely transports you. Sex offender Hoffman is great as Captain Hook and big kid Robin Williams is so perfectly cast it hurts. OneThis is a beautiful piece of escapism with incredible elaborate sets. It's magical and imaginative it just completely transports you. Sex offender Hoffman is great as Captain Hook and big kid Robin Williams is so perfectly cast it hurts. One of my favourite kids films of all time and it has an incredibly powerful message behind it. Stop being such a shallow, money grabbing ba!tard and spend some time with your kids before it's too late. When my dad watched it he threw his phone out of the window and took me to fly a kite. Just kidding, he was too busy playing golf to watch a film with me… Expand

Once Robin Williams' Peter Pan arrives in Neverland, we don't see anything that we haven't seen before in countless other family films and Saturday morning cartoons.

Simply put, it’s the best live action of Peter Pan. It takes risks and is creative. Only draw back is the dorky scenes or clunky editing

It's got its problems, such as it's fairly cheesy, has some massive tonal shifts, Julia Roberts' Tink is wasted and has a really pointless arc, the effects and some of the sets haven't aged well, and some parts don't make sense( such as theIt's got its problems, such as it's fairly cheesy, has some massive tonal shifts, Julia Roberts' Tink is wasted and has a really pointless arc, the effects and some of the sets haven't aged well, and some parts don't make sense( such as the Wizard of Oz-ish ending with a Smee duplicate in England and the stuffed Croc killing Hook). But for the most part the good outweighs the bad making it a fun and emotional ride. Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman are fantastic, most of the story is very intriguing, and you can tell a lot of thought went into it. Hook is Spielberg simultaneously at his best and worst.… Expand
