My theatre will be running the danish premiere on "Peter Pan" on april, 2nd. The film print has not arrived, and I have not seen the picture yet, -but I have read Mr John Ulmer's billious review of the film. To believe in kids flying, or to believe in fairies, can't be worse than believing in Elephants popping out of a board-game into Your house. -Giving "Jumanji" of all pictures as an example of a film, better than "Peter Pan" makes me pretty nervous for my upcoming "next movie", as "Jumanji" stands for me as one of the worst films, I've ever seen - including the poorest special effects and computerwork in any film, I know. If director Hogan is as close to the original as written elsewhere, and with the technical side coming up to what the trailers and other previews show, I still believe in Peter Pan as the greatest family entertainment to hit my screen this spring. I will certainly watch this, as soon as the print is inside the door, and will also return with my further comments. In the meantime, I would suggest, that Mr Ulmer looks up the word "Adventure".

Let me end this up, mentioning that I loved Disney's version - especially before some renovation-freaks got the idea, giving the figures new voices and updated dialogue. When someone's made a film, noone else should make corrections to it, -the day after the premiere or 50 years later - that's sacrilege !

51 years of age - and still worshipping real adventure !

20th century Fox, I ´guess. will never again spend money on this one. Understandable, but sad. It would have been truly great, if this GREAT docu-musical could once more be seen as it was intended to, -On a big screen, in 70mm ToddAO with full stereophonic sound. -It was an experience beyond imagination and i will never forget it. As others have mentioned, a bit thin in the story, and a biography, difficult to "sell" for a big audience already when released, probably even worse today. But then at least, let us have a DVD, so new generations can have the opportunity to become as thrilled as we were 35 years ago.

p.

This film will not be in Denmark until next month, and will have to wait, both to watch and to comment. In the meantime, I would just ask that others do their homework better, before getting nasty in here:
