I enjoyed this movie a lot, the characters seemed to be the same characters they were in the original Peter Pan, especially Peter and Hook. Captain Hook is just a great villain, and shows a few examples of how ruthless he really is. The animation was done well, perhaps the fact that it didn't have the budget of something like The Lion King helped its look, as it mostly sticks to traditional animation. It has a good bit of computer generated graphics, but none of them are really distracting. I liked how Hook's octopus has its eyes pop out of the water, moving up and down, making the same tick-tock noise as the clock in the crocodile. The biggest downside of this movie is the songs, they all sound basically the same, nothing really catchy, and the lyrics are just saying what we already know about the plot. They don't even say it in a very stylish way, they just tell us what is happening or what needs to happen, plain and simple. They could have been cut out completely and it would have made the movie even better. You could tell that it was originally intended for direct-to-video, mainly from the songs, but the animation was better than it probably would have been on a direct-to-video movie. I give it a 7 out of 10... I'm glad I saw it, and it would be worth my time to watch it again, though I probably wouldn't buy the DVD. I work at a theater, and if we get it, I'll watch it again for free. Not that it wasn't worth paying to see once, just that I doubt I'd get more out of a second viewing.
