Yep, there is yet another Peter Pan movie! Depending on which source you ask, there are five, ten, eleven, or even fifteen Peter Pan movies! Why are there so many? Honestly, I don’t really know the answer to that question! I mean, there are most likely two reasons. First, Peter Pan is a very iconic Disney character. People love him, and Disney takes this and makes more movies with the same character. The other reason is almost always money (even though this movie didn’t make Disney much money). Besides these two reasons, I don't understand why Disney made another Peter Pan movie because I doubt anyone was asking for another one!
Peter Pan and Wendy is about…well… Peter Pan and Wendy. It is pretty similar to some other Peter Pan movies you have probably watched. Kids would rather not grow up, Peter Pan takes them to Neverland, Captain Hook battles against Peter Pan, and so on. Most of the plot was the same as many of the other Peter Pan movies, although there were a few parts of the plot that were different. Nonetheless, the basic plot line was the same as the other Peter Pan movies. Honestly, if this was the first Peter Pan movie ever, I would think it was a great movie! The plot, acting, videography, and almost everything else was great. The issue is, we’ve basically watched this movie before! I was pretty bored during this movie because I already knew what was going to happen. We’ve watched the story of Peter Pan multiple times, and while this movie is slightly different from some others, it isn’t much different!
It is disappointing to have another movie be a remake. We have had so many remakes recently. Almost every movie that comes out now is either a sequel, prequel, or remake. The presence of original content is slowly declining, and this is quite disappointing! I wish filmmakers would choose more original plots and give us new content, instead of old recycled plot lines and characters!
In conclusion, Peter Pan and Wendy isn’t a terrible movie, but if you have seen some other Peter Pan movies, it will be very predictable and boring. If you haven’t seen any of the Peter Pan movies, this wouldn’t be a terrible first Peter Pan to watch. Overall, it isn’t the worst movie ever, but there are many other movies that are significantly better! This movie can only be found on Disney+, so head over there if you would like to watch it!
