The most atrocious thing about this movie is how they robbed us of Hook's luscious flowing locks.

I feel like Disney keeps leaning a bit too far into the realism thing with these remakes. I agree with you that Disney could have made Neverland look a bit more magical. I don't know why Disney is so set on having everything look as realistic as possible. It really takes the heart and soul out of a lot of their stuff.

"we were only trying to drown her"
the fact that she said it so nonchalantly and with confidence is crazy 😂

The main issue I have with Tinkerbell’s redesign is her body doesn’t glow so she’s not very visible at all especially in the dark/nighttime scenes.

[smol_hamster_]

My biggest problems with this remake are:
- why is it so fricking dark and washed out?
- why isnt Tinkerbell shiny? Poor girl just blends into the background
- the girls among the Lost boys completeky erasing the whole point of Peter bringing Wendy
- Hook

[maryy.angell]

the importance of “the lost boys” having no girls, is that when Wendy arrives she becomes the boys “mother figure” she even sings about the importance of mothers and how they love and care for us. Wendy is the main reason why tne boys then realize that the do want to leave neverland, have a mother and grow up.

Universal made a better live action Peter Pan 20 years ago. 2003 Pan makes Neverland look absolutely magical, the pirates are a perfect blend of realistic and cartoonish, the mermaids are entrancing, they got actual Native Americans to play the Neverland Indians and had them speaking their own language for as much authenticity as they could get. The film was firing on all cylinders and it's hard to imagine it ever being topped, Disney certainly wasn't going to in it's current state.

[PupPupAbawi]

I’ve always seen Peter as the villain since he was a psychopath, so I’m glad you made the hilarious line of “Jeez we gotta stop this kid, how is he the good guy in this story?” You literally read my mind

[idkbalvan]

Fun fact: Back in like the 1910s, they had to add the fairydust part to 'in order to fly you need happy thoughts and fairy dust', because originally it was just happy thoughts and, well... kids were getting into accidents...

[ロロノアゾロ-hm]

The main point of why Wendy never wanted to grow up was because of her father. He's always angry, very serious, and strict. She thought that if she grew up, she would be like her father.

Also, I hate the fact that they destroyed Wendy's entire character. She's always been extremely feminine and elegant-like. She never compared herself to the boys, she loved and protected her brothers, and she loved and took care of the Lost Boys and Peter despite their stupid antics. The fact that they changed her and the Lost Boys just to "destroy gender stereotypes" is extremely stupid.

[capturingsol]

This is just why the 2003 live Peter Pan is superior to me. There's some silly bits of course, but they kept it very faithful to the original book, which I love, and it was plenty magical and lovely.

[carmenjohnson]

Adding girls to the lost boys is hysterical. I swear the conversation was probably like “why aren’t there any girls“ and then, rather than actually going through and trying to find out why in the story this would be the case they just immediately said “probably sexism, let’s add girls!”

[reirei]

So fun fact, the handing Peter a thimble and calling it a "kiss" is actually in the book! I'm impressed, I didn't think they'd actually consult the source material

[keelinbarron]

When I was younger I had a HUGE crush on Peter Pan, the animated one. I'd even leave pieces of my dinner out for him so he could eat it at night in case he was hungry. I think the worst mistake my parents made were writing me letters pretending to be him, because it broke my heart when he stopped writing back to me

[raelicaste]

13:13 This is what annoyed me about the little mermaid remake because they basically didn’t change anything about the movie except make Ariel black and add a random black queen in the country. Ursula was still the same as the original and got no character development at all

[somethinunameit]

Am I the only one who noticed that the "you can fly" scene was basically telling kids to jump? Like Peter literally tells Wendy to think happy thoughts and take a step off the edge. Instead of the OG Peter having them practice over their beds.

[zoerosenthal]

Wendy was INSUFFERABLE in this version. OG Wendy was joyous, longed for Neverland and always dreamed of meeting Peter, and the 2023 Wendy was a brat and not at all her character.

[meghanbeverly]

Peter Pan was an allegory for childhood death. If you read the text, Wendy’s mom could see him and was frightened by Pan. In 1953 Disney glossed over that with Nana pouring out the “ bedtime medicine“ as you put it. When those kids were actually being treated for an illness without mentioning the illness, part. So in the 1950s Disney removed the specter of death angle and in 2023, they somehow managed to make the story even more bland?

[eloradannan]

All the flaws in this version stood out even more because we have the 2003 live-action movie to compare it to, which is INCREDIBLY good while being faithful to the book. Honestly I think the pacing in this movie was its biggest flaw; it felt like they spent three hours total in Neverland. Additionally, I think this is the only version that didn't have Captain Hook and Mr. Darling as a double role. It's been played that way for ages as a commentary on Wendy's feelings about her father, who is the one pushing her to grow up. The character designs were very different in the animated movie, so maybe they felt they didn't need that? And as a last random note: Peter's actor never smiles? That's a weird decision for a character always looking for fun and adventure. Anyway, the 2003 movie and "Hook" are quintessential Peter Pan movies and this one will be quickly forgotten, I'm sure.
