Peter Pan ★★½ 2003 (PG) Much more literal adaptation of the J.M. Barrie novel is surprisingly serious in its tone. Peter Pan (Sumpter), played by an actual boy this time around, teaches the Darling children how to fly and leads them to Neverland. Newcomer Rachel Hurd-Wood shines as Wendy Darling. Goes deeper into the relationships and emotions between the characters, including Peter and Hook, than in previous versons. 113m/C VHS, DVD.
