As fans of the written stories and stage musical, my wife and I have waited patiently for *someone* to understand the dark underpinnings of Peter Pan, and bring a truly magical version to stage or screen. This one is it. It is not a perfect 10 for some of the reasons mentioned in previous reviews (dog jokes, imperfect "flying" effects) but it is very close. The incredible magic of youth, the fear and tension of trying to cling to that magic, the redeeming power of love--it's all beautifully rendered in a lovely, reasonably well-acted, exciting and funny script. It really is a beautiful movie.
