The classic tale of 'Peter Pan' continues in Disney's sequel 'Return to Never Land'. In 1940 on a world besieged by World War II, Wendy, now grown up, has two children, one of them is her daughter, Jane. She wears her trench coat during the air raid, and later that night, Wendy tries to give her own children hope by telling them of her magical experiences with Peter Pan in Never Land. However, Jane, Wendy's daughter, sees it all as make believe and refuses to believe in the tales. That is, until the villainous Captain Hook mistakes her for Wendy and abducts her to Never Land in an attempt to lure and capture Peter Pan. Peter Pan's quest to return Jane safely home is jeopardized until she can begin to believe in the magic of imagination.
nudity | Some briefly seen mermaids wear small patches of material across their breasts (but we don't see any related "skin" or much of womanly shapes). |
violence | Hook's men shoot canon balls at Peter Pan and one of the men repeatedly swings a bat at him, but Peter Pan easily avoids all of that. Peter Pan then whacks that man with the bat, sending him flying into some netting that bends and then shoots that man into others, knocking them down. |
profanity | None |
alcohol | Captain Hook smokes |
frightening | Set in WWII, London during the Blitz we hear the sounds of warfare (bombings) and see the results of that (bombed out and/or burning buildings), but don't actually see any such warfare in person. One scene, however, has Jane running home as the air raid sirens go off and bombs land nearby (and she's nearly hit by some large trucks that zip by on the street). Meanwhile, Wendy and her young son are in a bomb shelter that shakes from the explosions and Danny is scared. |
