REVIEW SUMMARY
Peter Pan & Wendy may be overly familiar, but David Lowery brings a sense of true wonder to Neverland, marking this personal project of his as one of Disney's best live-action remakes in years. Filled with visually striking moments, tons of adventurous sequences, and a diverse, inclusive cast that deserves every praise and then some. Daniel Hart's score is absolutely magnificent and stands out superbly! A pleasant spring surprise that shouldn't be missed!
