The story you thought you knew comes to life as never imagined! The unforgettable adventure, magic and fun of the original Peter Pan – including children who can fly, pirates, fairies, enchanted forests and mermaids – come to life as never before in the groundbreaking live action release that flies onto DVD and VHS on May 4, 2004. With more breathtaking visual effects, more non-stop action and more fun than ever, writer-director PJ Hogan (Unconditional Love, Muriel’s Wedding) has created the “first faithful rendition of the famous story” (LA Times) to create a “warmhearted and magical adventure” (The Seattle Times) that tells the classic story as it was always meant to be told.
Peter Pan stars Jason Isaacs (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets) as Mr. Darling/Captain Hook, Jeremy Sumpter (Local Boys) as Peter Pan, the boy who wouldn’t grow up, and Wendy Hurd-Wood as Wendy Darling — the girl whose family insists that she must. Academy Award®-winner Lynne Redgrave (Gods and Monsters) co-stars. Filled with swashbuckling action, endless excitement, and fantastical effects, Peter Pan has received two top awards including the Film Advisory Board’s coveted Award of Excellence. Amazing visuals and sets provide an enchanting new viewing experience for the whole family to enjoy, even for those who thought they were familiar with the story.
