Peter Pan & Wendy Movie review
The live-action version of Walt Disney's animated classic "Peter Pan & Wendy" satisfies the audience's nostalgic familiarity. It features characters and situations from the 1950 Disney cartoon feature "Peter Pan," such as swashbuckling sword fights and Neverland, where Peter Pan (Alexander Molony) and his fairy friend, Tinkerbell (Yara Shahidi), whisk Wendy Darling (Ever Anderson) and her brothers off to through a wormhole near the Second Star on the Right. Once in Neverland, they meet the Lost Boys, Native American princess Tiger Lily (Alyssa Wapanatahk), and Captain Hook (Jude Law), who is portrayed as more of a neurotic comic figure than a frightening villain. Jim Gaffigan plays Hook's sidekick Smee as an emotionally bruised, exasperated underling, while every performance in the film is good.
