Not an especially mature film, probably the most "kiddie movie" of all the 1950s Disney features.

Definitely a Disney classic but misses out much of the darker side of J.M.Barrie's fantasy tale.

Top CriticDisney's depersonalizing habit of putting different teams in charge of different sections of the story really shows up here.

Ornamented with some bright and lilting tunes, it is a lively feature-length Technicolor excursion into a world that glows with an exhilarating charm and a gentle joyousness.

The Walt Disney Company has broken the vaults wide open to add a plethora of fascinating historic artifacts to make this new Platinum Edition a must-own for any Disney collector.

Perhaps Disney's most underrated work.
