PETER PAN soars to new heights in the magical 2-disc Platinum

of their stories, whisks them away to the magical world of Never
Land. After following Peter and his feisty sidekick Tinker Bell

they explore the island and Peter's secret hideout with the
rambunctious Lost Boys and leap into high-flying battles with
swashbuckling pirates and the infamous Captain Hook! Bursting
with fantasy, adventure, and pixie dust, this 2-disc Platinum
Edition includes three all-new games in Camp Never Land, deleted
scenes, a new discovery -- in which Walt Disney reveals why he
made PETER PAN -- and much more.

The Platinum Edition of Peter Pan is absolutely packed with
special features that include everything from Walt Disney's own
words about why he made Peter Pan to interviews with animators,
producers, historians, and film critics; games; activities; and
songs. Like the 2002 Peter Pan Special Edition, the Platinum
Edition offers an excellent commentary track hosted by Roy Disney
that features interviews with some of Disney animation's "nine
old men" like Ollie Johnston and Frank Thomas, historians, voice
talent including Kathryn Beaumont, character models, and film
critic Leonard Maltin. More "backstage" features include a
15-minute "making of" segment that looks at 1940's and 1950's
animation technology and the challenges posed by transforming J.
M. Barrrie's well-known story, stage play, and silent film into a
believable animated film and an 8-1/2 minute featurette that
focuses on Tinker Bell's character, its animation, and Margaret
Kerry's experiences as a real-life model for the character. Most
intriguing is a 7-1/2 minute featurette based on a 1953 magazine
article that provides a rare chance to hear, in Walt Disney's own
words, his thoughts, motivations, and ultimate goal of creating a
children's world where adults and children could feel they
belonged in Peter Pan. Equally fascinating is the 21-minute "The
Peter Pan That Almost Was" segment detailing the developmental
stages of the Peter Pan story and the multiple versions
considered as Walt Disney and his crew strove to make the most
powerful film possible. The 1952 featurette "The Peter Pan Story"
explores multiple story telling mediums and details various
stages of the animation process including drawing, layout, story
boarding, animation, background art, and sound effects. Children
ages 3 and older will delight in a host of appealing special
features created just for them that include "Peter Pan's Virtual
Flight" through London, two read alongs, songs with or without
on-screen lyrics, deleted songs, music videos by Paige O'hara and
T-Squad, Sudoku challenges with multiple difficulty levels, and
interactive "Train to be a Lost Boy," "Tarrrget Practice," and
"Tink's Fantasy Flight" games. Disney's Peter Pan is a truly
classic, intergenerational film and the abundance of special
features included in this Platinum Edition make it a must have
for all ages. --Tami Horiuchi
