Plot:
J.M. Barrie's play about the boy who refused to grow up has become a stage classic and a revival standard, but in the movies Disney's animated musical version remains the most famous incarnation. Near...( read more

First, let me say that seeing this as it was meant to be seen, with live music accompaniment, was AMAZING! Even with a few DVD glitches, having the live reaction of the organist and percussionist adds so much to the entertainment value. This is probably closest to what you would have seen at an original stage performance because Barrie was somewhat involved in this production. But yet, this film is definitely not just a static recording of a stage play. That Nana, the dog, has some attitude! All the acting is done very well for a silent. I was less than impressed with Captain Hook though as he seemed to fill more of a comedic role than a villian role. And it's a little awkward when, since this is a British story, Hollywood throws some American patriotism in. I don't really understand this since it wasn't even made in a year when one of the world wars was being fought?!
I first saw this film on the big screen being accompanied by a live symphony with Mary Brian (Wendy) in the audience. Words can't express the magic and emotion that it envoked. This is still one of the best tellings of Barrie's story. For its day, the costumes, art direction, and effects were amazing!
