In vacations with my 7 years nephews, the evening was dedicated to a kid movie. This day, they chose this movie and I decided to watch it with them as I have always like the magic and poetry of the Peter Pan's world (and also because i told them that Thinker would be my wife...).
In less than five minutes, I knew that this movie was a failure: it was a bit like the body snatchers has invaded Neverland: the characters were there (Tinker Bell, the young daughter, the blind parents, the English countryside) but inside, they were unrecognizable due to the huge appliance of clichés:
First, the fairy world looks a lot like the hobbit and the Shire! Next, the fairies looks like models and their friends are the usual nerd and the gentle obese. We don't know why there's no mother in the movie and the father's working obsession is very badly explained: Spielberg's "Hook" was more natural (Robin hadn't enough time to do all things) but here, it's nearly as the father locks his kid in her room to work easily! The rescue operation is highly inspired from "Honey, I shrunk the kids" and we have always the American negative attitude towards cats!
In conclusion, it's a soulless, industrialized, marketing animation that hurts severely the Disney's magic and that makes Funland far, far away indeed!
