6/10
Fifty-fifty for this one.

As a Disney-sequel it is fine.

I was not blown away by a star quality animated movie, but I was pleasantly surprised by certain aspects of it. The animation was actually pretty good with fluent movements and vibrant colours. Hook's ship and its flight through London was awesome.

The voice actors they hired for this sequel sounded much like the original voice actors, and that is a plus that surprised me. Hook is more a VILLAIN in this rendition and I found it good balancing his comedy out a little. His comedy here is not as funny, though.

The main plot was suitable for a sequel to Disney's Peter Pan.. Wendy's daughter, Jane, does not believe in Peter Pan and all that stuff, because of WWII is around and she must act adult.

But that is sadly a major flaw, too. In the beginning Jane is looked down upon by her siblings and in parts also Wendy for being resourceful. That is a bad handling of a message about being a child during war time.

I liked everything about Return to Neverland except that major flaw. It could have been an outstanding Disney Sequel, but settled for the "less bad" category.
