Synopsis

Walt Disney's 14th animated masterpiece bursts with fantasy, adventure, and pixie dust! The magic begins when the boy who "never grows up" flies through the Darlings' nursery window in search of his lost shadow. Accompanied by his feisty sidekick, Tinker Bell, Peter teaches Wendy, John, and Michael to fly and they're off to the "second star to the right" and straight ahead to Never Land! Before they know it, they're knee-deep in high-flying battle with swashbuckling pirates, led by Peter's archenemy, Captain Hook whose time is nearly up against a ticktocking crocodile.
