In stifling Edwardian London, Wendy Darling mesmerizes her brothers every night with bedtime tales of swordplay, swashbuckling and the fearsome Captain Hook. But the children become the heroes of an even greater story, when Peter Pan flies into their nursery one night and leads them over moonlit rooftops through a galaxy of stars and to the lush jungles of Neverland. Wendy and her brothers join Peter and the Lost Boys in an exhilarating life--free of grown-up rules--while also facing the inevitable showdown with Hook and his bloodthirsty pirates.

It's nice when someone makes a fairy tale simply as a fairytale instead of turning it into a fantasy extravaganza where, for example, a duel with a crocodile would last at least a quarter of an hour. Such a fairytale can then safely afford a somewhat kitschy, but at the same time beautifully coloured set, which is digital from the basement to the attic, but it doesn't matter because it actually reminds us of animated films. And when it's so well acted (by everyone of all ages) and has a beautiful score by James Newton Howard... Shorten it a bit and I wouldn't have anything to complain about.
