Peter Pan Widescreen Edition

Product Description The magic, the excitement, the wonder of the true Peter Pan comes to life for the first time in this spellbinding fantasy that critics proclaim "a fun and fantastic tale!" (Daily Herald). Brimming with spectacular special effects and non-stop action, this all-new adventure is sure to be a family favorite for years to come! "One of the finest films of the year!" (Daily Gazette) Additional Features The Peter Pan DVD's extras are broken up into pint-size morsels for kids to enjoy--and adults to click a lot on the remote. Vignettes on flying, casting, computer effects, characters, or simple behind-the-scenes footage are just some of various segments contained in five "worlds." Be sure to "Visit the Darling House" to find a deleted scene and an alternate ending (which has the original book's ending of Pan returning). "Board the Pirate Ship" to see Jason Isaacs's (Capt. Hook) cute "home movies" from the set and a cut pirate song. The longest segment (12 minutes) is a puffy promotional piece hosted by Sarah Ferguson that goes over everything lightly, including the history of the tale. Note: this film would be a perfect candidate to have both a pan-and-scan and widescreen presentation on the same disc. The widescreen 2.40:1 ratio is pretty extreme for those who don't like seeing black bars on their set, but the film is so gorgeous you'll miss a lot on the full-screen edition. --Doug Thomas
