 Children Forever At Play April 22, 2006
9 out of 9 found this review helpful
This is probably the best live version available for young children. What I like best about this particular version is that it emphasizes the idea of children at play; Tiger Lily and her indians are clearly children playing, not real Native Americans. Even the pirates have a sense of children playing (they fight over Michael's bear, for example). The music is excellent. My boys just love it!
To the people who hated this... March 30, 2006

I'd just like to comment that Peter Pan was traditionally played by a woman and this musical role calls for a woman to sing the songs. When I was in sixth grade, the high school performed this and cast a guy in the part of Peter and he was just awful--especially in the Mysterious Lady song. He was so out of key on all of the songs. I just wanted to kill him!
You are entitled to your opinion of course, but I don't think you should say you hate this movie or it is stupid just because the part of Peter Pan is played by a female.
I've loved this musical since I was 9 years old and Mary Martin IS Peter Pan. I also enjoyed Cathy Rigby's performance but it was less magical for me.
I hope they put this back on put this back on dvd soon and remaster it. Is the sound and picture quality really that bad?

The Mary Martin Peter Pan, not unlike the Disney version, is timeless. It is an incredibly enjoyable production and a window into how television was executed back in 1960. Now, i wasn't born yet when it was first transmitted, but that hardly takes away from not being able to fully appreciate and feel entertained. My kids LOVE both versions, but really get a kick out of this one. They just love the songs. It's disillusioning to me to read other "kids'" reviews who just didn't get it. I assure others that MY kids can't get enough of quality entertainment...and they also enjoy some garbage, too.
 What about the same as a Disney Style? October 29, 2005

I was 7 year old in 1997-1998, but I hate in the disney style of the Crocodile from Peter pan, what my faovirte character in disney Peter pan is James hook, I also like his voice and his Dress, becuase he look like a 1701-1807s Colony, but I hate the Crocodile who kill Captain Hook, in the Disney Style, and Ruin his Dress, and kill him, I hate that Crocodile, Lot!!!

When I was a boy I rented out this version of Peter Pan from the library and hated it. It was boring and stupid. DON'T EVER SEE THIS VERSION-IT STINKS!
PS.
