It isn't just a personal favourite either. It's one of Walt Disney's most beloved animated classics, one of the studio's greatest treasures and arguably the best Disney animated feature released in the 1950s. It has survived controversy, especially Tiger Lily and the Indians are still considered racially offensive in various circles and weathered criticism about the liberties Uncle Walt and his screenwriters took with J.M. Barrie's 1904 play and 1911 children's novel. And yet no censorship has been perpetrated and very little criticism has prevailed. It's a high-flying, swashbuckling adventure in the true spirit of the original and, in many ways, was the first production, on stage or off, to lend a thrillingly palpable sense of magic, grandeur and storybook fantasy to Barrie's text. Even today, some sixty years after its theatrical release, Peter Pan remains a magnificent animated film, as truly timeless as any Disney classic that came before it or come since.‘PETER PAN’ harks back to a wondrous age in animation, before the advent of CGI and the misguided belief that traditional, hand drawn animation was outmoded. Pardon the nostalgic digression, but Walt Disney's fourteenth animated feature, now celebrating its 60th anniversary, has the look and whimsy of a much younger production. With no computers to rely on, Pan's legendary team of animators, especially the Nine Old Men who crafted something extraordinary for its time and something that continues to withstand the test of time. The beautifully expressive characters do nothing less than spring to life, while each acrobatic bout of flying, singing, dancing and swordplay is framed by gorgeous hand-painted backgrounds. Even now, with Disney aggressively resurrecting the hand-drawn feature, classics like Peter Pan stand tall, created entirely with pencils, ink, brushes and paint, and all the passion and spirit that goes into such hands-on artistry. Many of the CGI animators of the modern age are master animators in their own right, don't misunderstand. But there's something utterly magical about Walt Disney's early animated classics, and it's a magic that continues to grab hold of viewers, young and old, nostalgic and newcomer alike. Simply put: ‘PETER PAN’ is one of the Disney greats, and that isn't about to change anytime soon. "All this has happened before, and all this will happen again..."Blu-ray Video Quality – The debate rages on, although fuelled by less disappointment than ‘Cinderella’ generated. ‘PETER PAN’ flies onto Blu-ray with a vibrant; striking 1080p encoded video transfer, restored with all the renewed digital advances available to the Disney restoration team. The results will delight most and mildly irritate a few; the few being those who feel the complete absence of grain and the slight (stress on slight) alterations made to the film's original colour and contrast are contrary to Walt Disney and his animators' intentions and the film's original presentation. The debate asks should a classic film be subjected to such changes. Should Disney attempt to create a transfer that's truer to the original cell art or to the 1953 theatrical image? Ideally, a release like Peter Pan would present both a classic restoration and a spectacularly clean revitalisation, but the choice has been made. The latter over the former it is. Still, purists would do well to embrace everything Disney has accomplished, if only in part. Marvellous leaps and strides have been made here, and not all of them controversial. In fact, only the grain removal, which appears to have taken little to no toll on the image other than its intended use, gave me pause, as it alters the texture of the original film, but despite this, I think the final result is absolutely stunning and looks better than when I viewed it in the cinema.Blu-ray Audio Quality – Absolutely outstanding 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio surround track crows at the top of its lungs and unleashes its sonic attack with notable precision. At the same time, the 7.1 presentation rarely, if ever, flies in the face of the film's original sound design. Though the rear speakers wrap the sounds of Never Land around the listener, it doesn't feel like a betrayal and is always executed with the utmost respect for the audio elements. Directional effects are light but playful, ambience is subtle but effective and a few acoustic flourishes make caves and other locales more immersive. Output is restrained as well but no less welcome, lending weight and presence to every low-end assault and exchange. Voices and sound effects, meanwhile, are completely unhindered and perfectly prioritised. A few lines of dialogue show their age, as anyone should expect from a sixty-year old feature, but remain clear and intelligible regardless. Add to that the full, enveloping presence of the film's score and songs and you have a first-rate 7.1 remix for this classic animation film.Blu-ray Special Features and Extras:Special Feature: Introduction by Diane Disney-Miller [1080p] Diane Disney-Miller provides a quick introduction to the film, touching on her father's attraction to adapting J.M. Barrie's tale and the artwork created during the film's development.Special Feature: DisneyView [With Side Bars] [1080p] [1.77:1]You have black bars either side of the image to fill the Widescreen Image area of your Television. The Walt Disney background artwork is by painter Cristy Maltese who did ‘The Little Mermaid,’ ‘Beauty and the Beast’ and ‘Aladdin.’Special Feature: Peter Pan Sing-Along [1080p] Here you have an optional Sing-Along track, which is so easily engaged or can be skipped when selecting the "Play" option in the main menu. It's a simple subtitle feature. Sadly there is no karaoke-style guide marker or highlighting.Special Feature: Growing Up with Nine Old Men [1080p] [45:00] This nice bonus feature short, features Ted Thomas speaking with the other grown-up sons and daughters of Walt Disney’s Nine Old Men. We found this bonus feature very charming, and it was interesting to glimpse into the world of the Nine Old Men from a different point of view. Ted Thomas is an amiable and folksy interviewer, and clearly has a kinship with those who went through a similar childhood as he did. The name started as a joke and a term of playful endearment by Walt Disney he gave to his 9 leading animators. But it soon became a badge of honour for the most legendary and influential animators in Disney history. Hear about the Nine Old Men from those who were closest to them and their children, now upwards in years themselves and learn about the artists' contributions and work, both personal and professional.Deleted Songs and Scenes [1080p] [15:00] Unearthed from the Disney Vault, two deleted scenes and two deleted songs, presented via original storyboards, concept art, rough cell elements and key frames: "The Journey Home," "Alternate Arrival," "Never Smile at a Crocodile" and "The Boatswain Song."Classic DVD Bonus Features and Extras:Special Feature: Backstage Disney [480i] [65:00] Five behind-the-scenes feature and documentaries include "You Can Fly: The Making of Peter Pan," "In Walt's Words: Why I Made Peter Pan," "Tinker Bell: A Fairy's Tale," "The Peter Pan that Almost Was" and "The Peter Pan Story."Special Feature: Music & More [1080p and 480i] [17:00] Disney Song Selection and presented in 1080p with 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio, Deleted Song: The Pirate Song. Never Land: The Lost Song. Music Video: Never Land, performed by Paige O'Hara and Music Video: The Second Star to the Right, performed by T-Squad.Audio Commentary: Commentary with Roy Disney: Roy Disney hosts this extensive audio commentary, taken from the film's previous DVD release. Disney dryly reads from pre-prepared notes, but the interview excerpts and commentary bits featured over the course of the commentary allow the film's animators, voice actors and filmmakers to offer their insight as well. Smartly compiled and edited, the track touches on every aspect of Peter Pan, without wasting a single second.Special Feature: Disney Intermission [1080p] Pausing at any point during the film allows younger viewers to tackle "Pirate Training," a series of tips, mini-activities and video clips helmed by the first mate of the Jolly Roger.Finally, ‘PETER PAN’ is a classic today as it was twenty, forty or sixty years ago. It remains the wondrous adventure and magnificently animated spectacle it's always been. With Disney's Blu-ray release, it's even more wondrous and magnificent. Backed by a stunning video presentation, and a really strong 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio surround track, and well over four hours of special features, this New Diamond Edition Deluxe Limited Edition DigiBook release of ‘PETER PAN’ is a must-have for any Disney fan or animation aficionado. Don't hesitate: make the leap. Of course what makes my review extra special is the fact that people who have reviewed the other Blu-ray versions are missing something really special with this extra special Deluxe Limited Edition DigiBook, as it has 18 stunning glossy colour pages of awesome illustration images from the animation, plus the printed words telling you the story of Peter Pan, which could be read to small children at bedtime and make them keen to see this stunning Blu-ray. Ever since I first viewed the animation film ‘PETER PAN’ at the cinema, it has always been a very personal favourite of mine and I can also say it's one of Walt Disney's most beloved animated classics that I never get tired of viewing. Very Highly Recommended!Andrew C. Miller – Your Ultimate No.1 Film FanLe Cinema ParadisoWARE, United Kingdom

great product fast shipper

This is the 1953 Disney American animated fantasy adventure-drama produced by Disney Studio, and based on the 1904 play by J.M. Barrie, Peter and Wendy. Music by Oliver Wallace, released by RKO. Voices: Peter Pan – Bobby Driscell, Tinkerbell – Margaret Kerry, Wendy Darling – Kathern Beaumont, Captain Hook/George Darling – Hans Conried.Circa 1900- While acting out a story told to them by Wendy, the Darling boys play Peter Pan and the Pirates while their father is trying to get ready to take his wife out for the evening. This interferes with George Darling’s progress in getting ready and upsets him to the point that he decides that Wendy is too old to sleep in the nursery any longer. This will be her last night in the nursery!That same night, the children are visited by Peter Pan and Tinkerbell so that Peter can retrieve his lost shadow. While Peter is searching for his shadow he is discovered by the children who tell him that it is Wendy’s last night in the nursery which means the stories she tells them will end. Peter likes hearing her stories about him and decides that Wendy should go back with him to Never, Neverland to tell the stories to the Lost Boys and him and be their mother. Wendy will not go without her brothers, so Peter takes them all back with him where none of the children will never have to worry about growing up again.This film is a favorite for all ages of children and adults. For children Never, Never Land contains everything imaginable for play. You can meet mermaids, Indians, and pirates. And no matter who wins, as one of the Lost Boys says in regard to playing with the Indians, they just start playing all over again and no one is mad at the other side. This represents complete freedom with no responsibility.For adults, this movie reminds them sentimentally of a time when they, too, were young and free from responsibility with only their own imaginations as a barrier to what they could do. I think George Darling (father) says it best when he acknowledges that he thinks he has seen Peter Pan’s ship before. “A long time ago.”This Disney film still holds its charm and is one of the most exciting with Captain Hook’s constant pursuit of Peter, the dueling scenes, the Indians capturing the Lost Boys, Hook kidnapping Tiger Lily, and the Mermaid’s jealousy of Wendy, just to name a few. This isn’t the best artwork Disney ever put out but who cares. I give this charmer 5 stars. And a thank you for taking me back to the Mermaid Lagoon one more time.

Great value for a classic, my kids love it. Played in Australia, which I was worried about

Un grand classique

Die ältere Generation kennt bestimmt alle Disneyfilme schon, ich wollte aber das meine Tochter nicht nur den Neuen Quatsch ansieht sonder mit uns zusammen.Bisher war noch keiner Collection dabei der ihr nicht gefallen hat.

Zum Film selbst muss man ja nichts sagen, jeder kennt die Geschichte von Peter Pan. Die Bildqualität muss ich aber bemängeln, aber dies liegt wohl daran, dass, wenn der O-Film nicht mehr hergibt, es auch eine Blu-Ray nicht ausbügeln kann.

Bonjour ,Comme vous le savez je suis un inconditionnel de WALT DISNEY ,de la période de l 'âge d'or , et PETER PAN avec BLANCHE-NEIGE et PINOCCHIO sont mes préférés . il y a une vrai magie qui se dégage de ces CHEF-D4OEUVRES intemporels .je le recommande à notre jeunesse et elle en a bien besoin quand on voit se que fait actuellement la firme DISNEY ,je suis sur que le père DISNEY se retourne dans sa tombe de voir ce qu'est devenu sa création , son entreprise foulé aux pieds par des incapables ,aveugles et hermétique à ce qu'était le rève du père DISNEY. 78 ans après la création de BLANCHE-NEIGE et 72 après P2TER PAN quand j'ai visionné LA REINE DES NEIGES il y a quelques jours ,je me dis en moi même ,quelle régression ,quelle retour en arrière ,malgrés la modernité des moyens d'aujourd'hui les dessins animés sont sans vie ,sans magie ,je plein les enfants d'aujourd'hui , victimes du désert imaginatif des créateurs et de la magie que possédaient leurs anciens ou à l'époque , ils n'avaient pas les moyens d'aujourd'hui ,mais seulement leur rêves . qui y a t'il entre le possible et l'impossible , il y a la volonté et la détermination ,ces personnes là ,possédaient ces qualités.amicalement .JPB.
