Armed with technical ingenuity and classic source material, Peter Pan brings J.M. Barrie's beloved fantasy to the screen in dazzling style.

New York Daily News

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.

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.

yes i

Amazing movie, it is amazing how all of that was created in the mid 1920s, I know it is quite old but i find the movie quite eerie, the lack of sound gives it a disturbing vibe but that is fine considering the movie is old.

Herbert Brenon's direction of J.M Barrie's source material (that remains as immortal as its titular character) is brilliant and makes for one of the purest escapist experiences and the most effective adaptation to this day. Betty Bronson's Peter Pan is extraordinary. the incredibly achieved special effects (while some are pulled straight from the stage performance (Nana, especially)) make for an incredible transition from stage to screen and the cinematography is criminally underrated for just how crisp and eye-catching it is.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

This is one of my favorites from the silent era. interesting that Ben-Hur was released that same year. Another favorite of mine. I taught English and Theatre and always used this film after reading the play aloud. The film was Americanized. References to Star-Spangled Banner and such instead of God Save the King. Nanna the Dog is an excellent character with a diminutive player inside a fun and functional costume. The Pirates are perfect. There are even mermaids in this one! the Lost Boys return with Wendy and find a home in the Darling's house. Available with a better accompaniment soundtrack on YouTube than the Kino Restored film Edition.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars
