Return to Never Land (2002)

I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Absolutely Fantastic

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Young Jane has lost her faith in imagination and Peter Pan with the outbreak of the Second World War II. With her father off at war and her mother distracted by childish stories, Jane feels she is the most mature, and is looking after her family as she promised she would. But after a falling out with Wendy, Jane finds herself on board Captain Hook's ship, heading towards the second star to the right. It's not until Jane let's go of trying to be a grown up does she truly find happiness and magic. The music throughout is very well written and while modernized does still replicate the feel of the original. Ultimately, I feel this was a great carry-on from the original with all the splendor of Neverland and the perils of the island shared between Peter and Hook!

First off, before I get to the review, I'd just like to start off by mentioning a few things. This is my first negative or low rated review. After having already done some positive ones already previously, wanting to change this up a bit, and after reading the negative reviews of this movie on Amazon again, I was inspired and in the mood to type one myself. I'd also like to say that even though the Disney sequels (or cheap-quels, as some call them) aren't superior or up to par with the originals, I don't resent all of them that much, to the point of loathsome. There are a few that I find to be slightly better than other sequels and I still can get into anyway (despite their average to mediocrity to poorness in comparison), but not quite on the same level as the initials. Another thing I'd like to add is that I wish there were more sequels to movies that are just as good as the originals, if not better, more often, rather than the other way around. I wish that whoever came up with the dim idea of making sequels just to make extra money as the usual, sole purpose for their existence and others who followed that...well, I just think it probably should be against the law to rip-off the loyal supporters and the practice (and false advertising) should be banned (unless more thought and effort were actually put into them, and then those sequels can be made only, not for the sake of making the extra paper). It's a bunch of horse-feathers how it is, how too much greed is allowed to come into play and that they can get away with it so easily. And I wish that those involved in these particular projects were dropped and replaced with others who can or are willing to do better, which is how it should be done. Alright, now to the review, at last. I came across and caught this Disney sequel a few years after it was released theatrically and saw some or the majority (not sure which) of it less than a half a decade ago on the Disney channel. This is one of my least favorite Disney sequels and I wasn't feeling it all that much. I didn't care for it and it just didn't grabbed me the way few of the other Disney sequels have. I think the animation is nice and top-notch, and the reunion between Peter and Wendy is likewise, but that's all. There isn't much else I could mention that hasn't already been covered by the other reviewers on here and Amazon. Although one of the things I had beef with is the passing-through- the-Indian-camp scene, with none of the Indians from the past movie present in this one. I know that Disney are trying to please and appease the native community after that controversial part of the first Peter Pan and all, but if they weren't going to include them here, then they might as well could've and should've just left the Indian camp out altogether too. I mean, if they weren't going to feature them here, then what's the point? No Indians, no showing the Indian camp. I wish someone had thought of a way to solve that past problem and work their way around that. But then again, since this was mostly so dissatisfactory with how it turned out, it's better that they weren't brought back as nothing else or nothing more needed to be jacked up or ruined (other than a recurring act of political incorrectness). Count me in preferring Tick Tock the Croc to the octopus. The mermaids had very little screen time. Somehow I missed this fact when I watched it, but the sequel is actually set in WWII??? I always thought it was the first world war for some reason. Carrying on, as for the voice cast, some of the other reviewers on here mentioned that Peter doesn't sound quite the same as he did in the previous movie, but I didn't notice that, he sounded alright here as well to me. I can see that for most of the other voice actors, especially the most notable inconsistency and change with lost boy Cubby. I detest how in cases like these the casting people don't bother trying to bring in some new voice talent who do sound as perfect as the original cast and will just settle for anything else instead and are allowed to get away with it. A lot of things that Disney's Peter Pan movie had are lacking in the follow-up. I'm just not content with this one, but I would've if it were ameliorative due to it having been put in the right hands. This is simply among the Disney sequels (at least for me and some others anyway), that I'll pretend either doesn't exist or isn't considered to be a part of the studio/company's universe. I'll leave with this and let those who may be reading my review watch for themselves, but if any of y'all must, then wait for it to re-air on t.v., rent it or view it as a stream or download online. One more thing that's for sure: I won't buy anything that's a sequel or straight-to-DVD without seeing it on t.v., online, or reading reviews for myself first anymore.

Well, the plot isn't big like it was in the original. But I have to say, Return To Neverland was great anyway! First of all, I think I liked Peter more in this. Don't get me wrong, he was great in the original, but he was less cocky in this and I sorta liked that.I liked how it was Wendy's daughter Jane, instead of the original characters like in most Disney sequels, it was more, I don't know, realistic.Well, like I said, the plot isn't big at all, it's quite simple, but that doesn't spoil the goodness of the movie! I can see why they put it straight to Theatres instead direct-to-video, it is enjoyable!There's one scene I just loved(Note:You may not wanna read this, it may ruin it for you, that's why I put Spoiler alert on), The scene near the end,where Peter and Wendy see each other again, and she's all grown up. Seriously, it's just aw! But yeah, great movie!

The other day I decided to go for the Disney sequels, Peter Pan one of my top favorite Disney films and as nervous as I was to see the sequel "Return to Never Land", but I decided to go ahead and give it a look. You know what? It wasn't that bad, it was actually pretty enjoyable as far as Disney sequels go. I loved seeing the return of Captain James Hook, he and his sidekick, Smee, just cracked me up so badly in the first Peter Pan, they were back in Return to Never Land and are still crazy than ever. Despite the fact that the crocodile wasn't back, I would've loved to see that return, the octopus wasn't a bad addition. The jokes are still fun and the story is still magical. We got to see what life was like for Wendy when she finally had to grow up and had a family of her own.Wendy is all grown up and has a family of her own, a loving husband, daughter, Jane, and son, Danny. Her husband goes to war and tells little Jane that she is in charge, so Jane takes that very seriously and acts as head of the household. Despite that she is still very young, she doesn't believe in Never Land and her mother's tales, but when Captain Hook thinks he grabs Wendy, he grabs Jane and takes her to Never Land to capture Peter Pan. Peter saves Jane and offers her to join the Lost Boys and hopes to restore her faith in his adventures and fairies, but all she wants to do is go home.Return to Never Land is a fun Disney sequel that I have to admit that I was actually more impressed with. There are still a lot of great laughs and the story is still as adventurous as the first time when I watched the first Peter Pan. It was a little disturbing to hear the big difference of the voices, but I'm getting past it. After all, it's been over 40 years since the original Peter Pan, so I think it would've been hard to get the same actors. But I recommend Return to Never Land, it's a cute Disney sequel.6/10
