★★½ Live action versions of 2 animated Disney classics are generally disappointing (the exception being The Jungle Book, almost a masterpiece). Peter Pan and Wendy – let’s put aside the controversy over the multi-ethnic cast, it doesn’t make the slightest sense – allows us to clearly see the error. It has two problems: everything that fits in the animated classic led to interpretation (that is, for the viewer to think with their own imagination about the meaning of the film) here it is explicit: the passage of time, the refusal to abandon childhood , the homeland of the game, the maturity of adolescence, the exit of innocence and love. Ready, everything is understood because they explain it to us. The second is of a technical nature: except for Jude Law, who is perhaps the only actor who understands the game, they all act as if they were cartoons, that is to say in a cartoonish way, which prevents them from “entering” the fiction. One false step.
