"'Finding Neverland' received all the critical and audience acclaim that the previous year's 'Peter Pan' should have received". Should is a POV word, and should thus be removed. This is an encyclopedia, not a film reviewing site. --216.221.64.245 16:42, 27 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. I've removed the sentence altogether; it's flotsam, really.--Gwilym 08:33, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Plot section needs work?[edit]

I find the whole "Peter and Wendy" heading in th middle of the plot section kind of confusing... if nobody screams, I'd like to change it. It might be less confusing to have a section explaining the differences between "Peter and Wendy" and this film after the plot section, or a section that points out differences between this film and the play, books, and other adaptations. I also think that the plot needs to be expanded quite a bit.

I don't think it should say in the plot section that Peter Pan never returns to London, as he does so in the deleted scene mentioned in the "reaction" section below. Perhaps some of this info should be moved up into the plot section? --RainbowWerewolf (talk) 13:23, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The plot needs expanding as well. Angie Y. (talk) 02:05, 6 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

first?[edit]

first with a boy as peter? no, there is russian tv-film (1987) with sergey vlasov as peter http://ru.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%D0%9F%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5%D1%80_%D0%9F%D1%8D%D0%BD_(%D1%84%D0%B8%D0%BB%D1%8C%D0%BC,_1987)&oldid=15651635 --85.140.198.129 (talk) 19:38, 11 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Alternate ending removal[edit]

The fact that certain viewers dislike the alternate ending included on the DVD doesn't mean that information about it shouldn't be included in the article. Furthermore, unsourced personal opinions about the ending are not appropriate material for an encyclopedia article. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 20:06, 29 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

But it's only an alternate ending and not official and therefore not part of the story of the movie. The article doesn't go into the other omitted scenes either. Why is this one so special? It obviously got canned before the final cutting, no special effects and music and co. --89.246.170.62 (talk) 20:31, 26 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It exists and its published; that's reason enough to include information about it. And it's "special" because it happens to be based directly on an "alternate ending" written by the original author. -Jason A. Quest (talk) 03:09, 27 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

First faithful adaptation[edit]

Further detail & citation needed for the statement "It was the first authorised and faithful film or television adaptation of J.M. Barrie's play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up in half a century, after Disney's version in 1953." Authorisation is detailed under Production, but what justifies a) not considering Peter Pan (1954 musical) equally faithful, and b) implying that Disney's rather colloquial adaptation is more faithful than the musical? As it stands, it suggests a lack of NPOV. D Anthony Patriarche (talk) 15:49, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It's a fairly meaningless (and subjective) statement. For one thing, it implies that Disney's adaptation was faithful (which it wasn't). And it brushes under the rug the 1987 Belorussian adaptation, which wasn't authorized but was arguably more faithful than anything since the 1924 silent film. This film is noteworthy for setting out to tell the story "straight", without the song-and-dance stuff, for the global market, but we should say that without blessing it as "faithful". -Jason A. Quest (talk) 16:20, 20 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for pointing out the Belarus/Russian version. I agree the Disney animated feature is not very faithful; I haven't seen it for a while, but even as a kid I was annoyed by the deviations and slang. Who has "authority" anyway after more than a century? Apparently, that's not a simple question, and depends where you live; see Peter and Wendy#Copyright status. As a humorous sidenote, when I was about 10, I set out to turn the novel "Peter and Wendy" into a play (!), only discovering after about the first ten pages that I had it backwards and Barrie had been well ahead of me!

Flop[edit]

Isn't the real reason the film flopped the dreadful acting by Jason Issacs, not competition from other films? (109.146.218.230 (talk) 21:19, 22 July 2018 (UTC))[reply]
