Reviews: "This is a very entertaining adaptation of the story of "Peter Pan", and the production, particularly in the visual effects, is rather impressive for its time. The cast is a good one, with a lot of enthusiasm for their roles, and the whole movie has a lively pace to go along with the interesting story and plenty of good visuals. Betty Bronson delivers everything that you could expect as Peter, and it's easy to see why J.M. Barrie himself chose her for the role. She has plenty of energy and a believably boyish appearance. The rest of the cast is also good, and in some cases (Virginia Browne Faire and Anna May Wong) you wish you could have seen more of them. It would be hard to think of a better Captain Hook than Ernest Torrance, who gives the role just the right degree of exaggerated villainy. In what seems to have been her first screen role, Mary Brian is appealing as Wendy. It sticks mostly to the essentials of the familiar story, which is usually appealing to children while potentially quite interesting to adults, for different reasons. Peter's desire to remain a boy, and the offbeat nature of the fantasy world, make the story much more than a whimsical daydream. The visual effects, particularly the 'flying' sequences, work very well for their time, and they must have been very exciting for the movie's original audiences. The Tinkerbell effect also works well despite its simple means. The fantasy story is combined with just enough reality (back at the Darling home) for it to fit together nicely. "Peter Pan" is a movie and stage perennial, so there is no shortage of versions to choose from. But this one is very enjoyable, and it is certainly recommended for anyone interested in seeing a silent movie version of the story." written by "Snow Leopard" on IMDb.com Also Known As (AKA): (original title) Peter Pan Finland Peter Pan France Peter Pan Germany Peter Pan, der Traumelf Greece (transliterated title) O daimon Peter Pan Hungary Pán Péter Italy Peter Pan Japan (Japanese title) ピーターパン（1924） Poland Piotrus Pan Soviet Union (Russian title) Питер Пэн Spain Peter Pan Ukraine Пітер Пен UK Peter Pan USA Peter Pan ···················································································· MORE MOVIES! ► Buster Keaton: https://bit.ly/3XSlvqi ► Charlie Chaplin: https://bit.ly/3R8WZxt ► All Playlists: https://bit.ly/4j0VA8d #slapstick #silentmovies #silentclassic ···················································································· COPYRIGHT: All of the films published by us are legally licensed.
