What Parents Need to Know
About Peter Pan (2003)
Parents need to know that this movie is OK for early tweens who aren't frightened by a brief but graphic image of Captain Hook's amputated arm as he puts on one of his hooks. The movie has a lot of fantasy violence, including swordfights, guns, and hitting below the belt. Pirates are killed. We see boys' bare behinds. There are a couple of sweet kisses and some subtle references to puberty. Characters drink and smoke and a pirate offers liquor and cigars to a child.

BEST MOVIE EVER!
This movie is a timeless classic. In 70 years, children will still be forcing their parents to sit down and watch it, and the parents will willingly comply. There's a little action and a little romance, with none of the cheesiness that is sometimes associated with the book and Disney movie (both also classics, but for a slightly younger age group) The book is the kind of book that you love when you are little, dislike as a teenager, and whose charm comes back as you grow up. This movie, however, keeps the original spirit of the book but adds a lot more depth and spirit to the characters, giving it teen appeal. The cinematography is gorgeous as well. I got this movie off of Netflix and promptly watched it three times in a row. It's amazing. Watch it.
- Lives in MarylandI rate this title on for age 9 and give itMy concerns are:
- Excessive violence
this was a great fantasy adventure. There was a little bit of violence: (Spoilers) One of the main characters is murdered at the end. A flashback shows Kira's mother get killed. There is an intence feeling in the movie for youngsters. Crab monsters try to harm the main characters, and the Skeksis duel is scary for some. But the ending is happy. I reccommend this film highly.
