PETER PAN FOR THE 21ST CENTURY

Advantages: Great story, wonderful fx, heart warming
Disadvantages: Minor complaints re some fx

When considering what ingredients should go into a movie to make the ideal children?s fantasy, action flick, I guess sword fights, pirates, mermaids and a whole vista of special effects would be high on the list.
