![Peter Pan (2-Disc Special Edition) [1953] [DVD]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811WDoIfjKL.jpg)
Product Description Classic Disney adaptation of J.M. Barrie's famous play. After visiting the Darling family nursery, Peter Pan (voice of Bobby Driscoll) takes Wendy (Kathryn Beaumont), John (Paul Collins) and Michael (Tommy Luske) on a magical journey to the island of Never Land. When they arrive they become embroiled in an ongoing battle between Peter, his friends the Lost Boys, and the wicked Captain Hook (Hans Conried), a pirate who has lost his hand and his watch to a hungry crocodile. .co.uk Review Peter Pan has a special place in the realm of classic animated Disney films: it instills an element of childlike wonder. The 1953 version of James M. Barrie's story is colourfully told and keeps on the straight and narrow of the book. Barrie's wondrous focus on child's play is the key to its longevity: kids who don't grow up, shadows that run away from their owners, pirates, a fairy, and the magic ability to fly. In short, you can't help wishing the adventure would happen to you. Fueled by a few memorable songs (the stunner being "You Can Fly") and the strong impression of the pixie fairy Tinkerbell and the goofy Captain Hook, Disney's version of this story neither supplants nor lessens the Broadway version with Mary Martin that was produced for television the same decade. Unlike some classics, Peter Pan never ages along the way. --Doug Thomas

Disney Peter Pan
How great to be able to get a 1953 Disney classic updated on DVD! It seems as fresh and bright as it did when I saw the original film as a small boy (yes, I'm that old). A splendid purchase at a very reasonable price, this film is now preferred viewing for my grandchildren - well, second only to Wallace and Gromit!The portrayal of the Red Indians seems very non-PC now, I must admit. Also, I seemed to detect a bit of editing-out when Peter finds Tinker Belle fading away in a cave. It's the bit of the original stage presentation when the audience have to clap to signify their belief in fairies.It's over 100 years since the original story was written, so some of the ideas need explaining to youngsters: Nanas and nurseries, for example, are unfamiliar to 21st Century children. Even a ticking crocodile is so out of date now!I'm still very pleased I found it: Recommended!

Peter Pan is such a lovely film and very easy for young children to understand it is just so magical & mesmerizing it keeps their attention, and it contains nothing which is scary for them.I was very happy to find it available at such a reasonable price too.

Don’t get fooled by the picture.
Don’t get fooled by the picture as you only get the Peter Pan DVD and NOT the Toy Story DVD . I thought I was getting both!!! Not clear when ordering. Very disappointed 🙁.

Fantastic film
This DVD of Peter Pan is absolutely excellent. There is a really good story involved, and the clarity of the animation is superb. My two granddaughters, who are 3 and 4 totally loved it, as did my 10 yr old grandson. Age doesn't really come into it - it is as great for adults as for children. I thoroughly recommend this DVD.
