Since CGI and cross-generational wit have become de rigeur, Disney has struggled to compete in the animation market - hand-drawn, single-cell flicks are a hard sell when they're competing with Toy Story, Shrek and Monsters, Inc. Return To Neverland isn't going to break the mould. A re-hash of - - sorry, revisit to - - the classic JM Barrie tale, so expertly executed in Golden Age Disney's 1953 classic, Peter Pan, this kidsploitation flick catches up with Wendy when she's f🏅ully grown. Her sprog, Jane (Harriet ꦗOwen), is kidnapped by the still-peeved Captain Hook (Corey Burton) and taken to Neverland for adventure and cat-scraps with Tinkerbell.

Starting off with a huge pirate ship looming over Jane's house and a creepy assault from Hook's pirates, any darkness soon gives way to perky drivel. All right, so it'll probably keep under-eights quiet during the mercifull𝓡y short running time, but anyone older will recognise this for the Saturday morning TV pap it is. When a Peter Pan tale makes Hook look exciting you've got to wonder if the House Of Mouse couldn't use a little of Tinkerbell's magic pixie dust themselves.
