Disney 's fourteenth animated feature be one of Disney 's best animated movie , as well as one of Disney 's best movie . Though J. M. Barrie 's classic `` wendy and Peter , '' which be later title `` Peter Pan , '' inspire this feature rather than be a model for it , the movie stand on its own as a wonderful child 's story . Peter mirror Wendy 's feeling about grow up . wendy do not really want to grow up , and Peter have never grow up . Peter live in a world of mermaid , fairy , Indians and Pirates ; a fantasy world where child can have fun and not worry about chore , school or keep clean . however , we also realize that Peter and the lose boy be miss many thing in they life . they have no mother . they will never have a opportunity to have child of they own . they have stagnate in a place that can never be part of the real world . while we may have a moment of nostalgia for the lose past that can never be regain , we also have to question whether would have give up the privilege of adulthood for permanent childhood . several thing about this movie make it a great movie . First be the story itself . the story move along briskly , with few moment where the story slow . the fast pace hold my attention from begin to end . the action be fun and interesting , with a lot of attention to detail . the story be sophisticated and complicated and child will enjoy how the movie speak to they imagination rather than talk down to they . Second be the animation . the animation be vibrant and clever , with marvelous characterization for all the principal character . Tinkerbell , who be base on Margaret Kerry , Captain Hook , who have more than a pass resemblance to Hans Conried , who voice both hook and Mr. Darling , Peter , and wendy be all marvelously draw . Captain Hook 's ship and neverland from high above be highly detail and sure to appeal to a child 's eye . Third be the voice . how these actor be able to voice they part so well be amazing to I . Bobby Driscoll , who also appear in several other Disney movie , provide the voice of Peter Pan . I be unable to say enough good thing about Driscoll 's voicing of pan . Kathryn Beaumont , who voice Alice in `` Alice in Wonderland '' two year before this film , be the voice of wendy . Kathryn put all the emotion of a teenage girl into wendy 's voice . Hans Conried have a perfect voice for Captain Hook . Bill Thompson use a vocal ability hone on dozen of other animated character to provide the voice of Smee and the other pirate . I sometimes worry about allow child to watch some movie , include Disney movie . will the child be frighten ? will they understand the movie ? will they enjoy the movie ? `` Peter Pan '' be a movie that be fun , easy to understand , and generally so charming that most child enjoy it instantly . I recommend this movie for family with child of all age . this movie be perfect for any family library , and one that be great regardless of how many time you watch it . enjoy !
