A special-effects extravaganza (for 1924), this is a very faithful adaptation of the story, probably based on the stage play. Betty Bronson is an excellent Peter Pan.

More color and effects than Seven Samurai, but the lack of voices just didn't do it for me.

Classic Disney cartoon. :) Peter Pen is a legend. Even though this animated film was made decades ago, it still looks amazing on the big screen at the cinema. Excellent story line. Fun for kids and families.

Never has a picture been better photographed. It is as clear and beautiful as your first memory. Ernest Torrence is a gorgeous Capt. Hook. Anna May Wong is Tiger Lily. Cyril Chadwick and Esther Ralston are delightful.

These dreams are brought to the screen no cleverly, so convincingly and yet so simply that they provide a film of pleasing excitement, of rich humor and on a few occasions a tear or two.

Peter Pan is a perfectly lovely, funny, Interesting, plaint, weird movie, and if Sir James Barrie is one-half as tickled with it as are the youthful (young-young and old-young) [viewers], why, he ought to be cockadoodle-dooing just as Peter does.

As far as I am concerned the picture version of James Barrie’s famous play is one of the most enjoyable pictures which has ever graced the motion picture screen.

LIFE

Peter Pan is so extraordinarily beautiful, so utterly true to the childish spirit in which it was originally written, that I have no choice in the matter: I must fall down and blubber.
