In stifling Edwardian London, Wendy Darling mesmerizes her brothers every night with bedtime tales of swordplay, swashbuckling, and the fearsome Captain Hook. But the children become the heroes of an even greater story, when Peter Pan flies into their nursery one night and leads them over moonlit rooftops through a galaxy of stars and to the lush jungles of Neverland. Wendy and her brothers join Peter and the Lost Boys in an exhilarating life--free of grown-up rules--while also facing the inevitable showdown with Hook and his bloodthirsty pirates.

A huge red-eyed crocodile comes after a man, lunging and snapping at him several times, the man screams and is terrified. A plank is prepared for children to walk on. A cannon is fired, it hits a cloud where children are sitting, a girl is knocked back (we see her unconscious), another cannon is fired and it hits a mast which splits and falls.

profanity | The worst you hear is "Blast!" or, from Hook, "I'll cast anchor in you!" |
alcohol | Brief shots of cups or bottles of alcohol; not a main feature. Wendy is at one point offered a drink or a cigar from a pirate, which she turns down. Hook is seen, briefly, with his "Double Cigar". |
frightening | Mentions of non-explicit death and scenes of action, fighting, swords, and pirates. Scary-looking and sinister mermaids in the darkness. One intends to pull Wendy into the water, which Peter stops by suddenly coming forth close by Wendy, pushing her hand away while making an ugly, angry face and a loud hissing sound at the mermaid. The mermaid mimics this action back at Peter just before she dives back into the water. Hook and Peter fight in the air. During the fight, Hook taunts Peter by saying that Wendy will forget him when she grows up. That weakens Peter, and he nearly falls to his death. There is a sense of menace throughout the film. Both Hook's men and Peter's boys are perpetually afraid that their leader will kill them if they fail him. There are many small indirect threats beyond what is mentioned above (e.g. the point of Hook's hook is held very close to Smee's eyeball as Hook berates Smee). BBFC - (PG) mild violence, fantasy threat, scary scenes. |
