Title: A relentless assault on the attention span
Product review: Peter Pan is a timeless story for children of all ages, but this movie drags out each scene beyond the limits of our ability to sit quietly without fidgeting. The (actual) children that watched it with me were filled with a sense of wonder (as in "I wonder when this scene is going to end"). The continued state of "peril" for the child actors in this story makes the whole scenario work better as a cartoon (cannonballs? sharp swords? drowning? arrows? plummeting from great heights?). It is surprising that some other reviewers think that the most dangerous thing this film will teach kids is how to "mouth" kiss. Also, the same actor plays both Capt. Hook and Wendy's father. Is there a single kids' film that doesn't feature this tired Oedipal angle?
