    Storyline

    Edit
    Peter Pan (Robin Williams) has grown up to be a cut-throat merger and acquisitions lawyer, and is married to Wendy's (Dame Maggie Smith's) granddaughter, Moira (Caroline Goodall). Captain James Hook (Dustin Hoffman) kidnaps his children, Jack (Charlie Korsmo) and Maggie (Amber Scott), and Peter returns to Neverland with Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts). With the help of her and the Lost Boys, he must remember how to be Peter Pan again in order to save his children by battling with Captain Hook once again. —Ed Sutton <esutton@mindspring.com>

      [last lines]

      Granny Wendy: So... your adventures are over.

      Peter Banning: Oh, no. To live... to live would be an awfully big adventure.

    • Crazy credits
      After Tootles flies away and the end credits start, one of the stars in the sky continues to glow. According to the Peter Pan stories, "The second star to the right and straight out till morning" is where NeverLand is located.

    9/10 for Dustin Hoffman's performance alone.
    This is a fantastic classic movie of a classic fairy tale.

    The sets are amazing (none of this green screen crap!)

    The acting is fantastic. Dustin Hoffman, Maggie Smith, Robin Williams, and Charlie Korsmo do an especially good job.

    The adaptation is written very well. Instead of the boy who can't grow up, it's the man who's forgotten how to have fun, and be in the moment, like a child.

    The IMDb rating is way off. How the hell does Pitch Perfect, and rubbish like that do better? How? Because either this site is full of morons with no taste, or the world is, or more likely both...

    All negativeness aside, this is a great movie, if you haven't scene it, you're missing out.
