Peter Pan (2003)
Edwardian children escape to a fantastical realm of pirates and fairies, where growing up is a choice.
In stifling Edwardian London, Wendy Darling mesmerizes her brothers every night with bedtime tales of swordplay, swashbuckling and the fearsome Captain Hook. But the children become the heroes of an even greater story, when Peter Pan flies into their nursery one night and leads them over moonlit rooftops through a galaxy of stars and to the lush jungles of Neverland.
How intense is Peter Pan?
Peter Pan is mildly scary, with no gore and some violence. Emotionally it carries some weight. The pace is measured, and it is a family watch and a full-attention watch. The humor runs wholesome. Rated PG.
