Who can possibly defeat Lord of the Rings or Harry Potter, two bigger and much more commercial adaptations of fantasy books? This film deserves to be a classic and is one of the best fantasy movies to date. But why did this film fail at the box office? Competetion. We end up exploring Wendy's psyche throughout the film, and it is almost perfectly achieved. A man who is "old, alone, and done-for" according to Pan. Captain Hook is the opposite: a man who cannot be young. Except he cannot be the man of her dreams, and that is truly tragic. And this story is centered on Wendy, and the boy of her dreams: Peter Pan. Ultimately what makes this film excellent is that it tells a story. There are some moments that are literally breathtaking. The filmmakers do not mask that neverland is a fantasy world, and it stays that from beginning to end. The production itself is beautiful, albeit stylized. And the young actors handle the relationship with grace and authenticity. The relationship of these two pre-teens is as complex as any two adults in any other movies. Much is made of the fact that they meet in the bedroom and play father and mother to the lost boys. The makers of this film don't dance around the fact that Wendy has just met the boy of her dreams, and he is ready to whisk her off to fantasy land. Such people seem to forget what it was like to be in the age bracket of 12 - 14. Many people seem to take offense at said tension. If you've read other reviews, no doubt it has been mentioned. The main thing that sets this adaptation apart from previous attempts is sexual tension. Such sage wisdom ye shall not find in other reviews. Insight into that shall be revealed as well. Despite the film's quality, it failed at the box office, and for good reason. Up front I will say it: this is the best Peter Pan adaptation yet, and in what follows I will tell you why. ![]()
