For the kid in all of us
The first thing you notice in the film is the credits. Among them is George Ali as Nana the dog. Then there is a reminder that this film is for the kid in all of us and that even the pirates are kids at heart. br /As the scene opens up we see that this film is more of a stage play captured on film. Nana takes center stage and is so well portrayed that you have to remember it is a George in a fur suit. For people that do not know the story it is well played out and you find yourself actually anticipating the next sentence. For those that do know the story you are in for a few surprises. There are a few scenes of Neverland that look a tad like the California coast. The crocodile is cute. br / br /Several things stand out in this film that you can not help but notice; among them are that it is Americanized to the point that when the pirate ship is taken the "Jolly Roger" is replaced with "Old Glory" instead of the "Union Jack". There seems to be lots of medicine handed out. And surprise, a brief request for audience (this means you) participation. Peter Pan traditionally is portrayed by a woman however Betty Bronson is a tad over developed for the part. Bronson is very convincing. br / br /This is the story if a young lad that decides never to grow up. He is snooping around the Darling house and being spotted escapes with the exception of his shadow that got caught. On a return trip he convinces the Darling siblings to fly of to Neverland where they have many adventures with pirates, Indians and fairies. Will they also never grow up and what will the parents do? br / br /All in all the film follows the story and you may find this to be one of if not your favorite version. br / br /
