Bring a hanky...

Rating: 9/10 (26 July 2008)

As one who saw the original Disney animation years ago, and "Hook", and probably dwarfed by someone who saw the Broadway production--before Disney was a corporation, this movie brings the underlying themes of "Peter Pan" into full light. The faeries as "hope" and "belief" in something Greater and Better. Peter Pan as childishly, resistant to accept the horrible and unfortunate--the very opposite of the little boy who resists pretending and demands harsh reality.
Okay, I was roped into this film by US Airways playing it on board flight to the West, because in 2004 I was not in mood or budgeting for movie theaters trips. I'll need to catch it on DVD, again.
I am also anxiously awaiting the upcoming remake with new CGI.
