A letdown to fans who loved the classic version. I didn't really like it and Peter and Jane didn't share the same connection as Wendy and Peter had. No way near.

  Cleverly structured, fast-paced, funny, even moving.

  It's refreshing to see a cartoon that looks like a cartoon -- and a lovingly drawn one -- rather than a conglomeration of computer-generated bits and bytes.

  It's certainly a lot more charming than the last attempt at a Peter Pan sequel, Steven Spielberg's star-laden, ham-fisted "Hook."

  A Saturday afternoon stop for the kiddies -- harmless, skillful and aimed at grade schoolers.

  Reliable, standard Disney animated fare, with enough creative energy and wit to entertain all ages.

  A soon-to-be-5-year-old who accompanied me hated the scary parts but loved the mischievous Lost Boys and the big orange octopus that takes over from the ticking crocodile in menacing Hook.

  Even if you tap only a little of the magic of "Peter Pan," you'll come away with some pixie dust.

  The low-key animation, featuring little that could not have appeared in its '50s predecessor, is all the more affecting for being so pristinely preserved.

  If Return to Never Land -- doesn't have a story to match the original's in breadth and imagination, it does a smooth job of recycling its characters and themes.

  There's always something to look at (an octopus holding his eyeballs aloft, the petulant Jane assaulted by pixie dust), but the story is weak tea.

  As handsome and playful as the movie often is, it's another example of the let's-further-exploit-a-hit genre.

  Takes us to familiar lands but without any of the original's magic.

  This follow-up seems so similar to the 1953 Disney classic that it makes one long for a geriatric Peter.

  This is pleasant, safe entertainment that ought to appeal to kids younger than 10, especially to girls, with its female-empowerment fantasy.

  It's no use expecting Return to Never Land to match, much less exceed, Disney's 1953 version of "Peter Pan," which by itself isn't quite in the uppermost tier of the studio's full-length cartoons.
