Peter Pan remake

Rating: 7/10 (13 December 2005)

All children in a London family are transported magically to a distant land. Here they find a conflict between the evil ruler and the outcasts. There is combat. There are magical weapons. There is a favorable outcome. The children return home and are welcomed.
Is it Neverland? Or Narnia? Captain Hook has morphed into the wicked white witch. Is it the crocodile or the lion that the antagonist fears? The Indians of Neverland are replaced by talking animals. Like the movie of Peter Pan, the combat is bloodless and is not likely to scare children.
But don't let the similarity to Peter Pan keep you away. The acting is very good. Georgie Henley (Lucy) is a delight. The special effects are very good. The plot is simple and dialog is easy to follow, very unlike Lord of the Rings. It is good entertainment for all ages.
