Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn real life, Michael Llewelyn Davies was J.M. Barrie's inspiration for Peter Pan. Michael, not Peter, was said to be Barrie's favorite of the children. It's not clear why Barrie chose to name the main character Peter. One idea is that his brothers and Peter behaved the most like an adult at a young age. Barrie wished he'd had more of a childhood, so he immortalized him as the symbol of youth.
- GoofsWhen Peter is knocking over his set for his play, a man in a t-shirt, blue jeans and a baseball cap is reflected in the window.
- Quotes
J.M. Barrie: Young boys should never be sent to bed... they always wake up a day older.
- Crazy creditsLast credit to appear at end credits: For Milo...
- Alternate versionsThose wishing to duplicate their experience from the theatrical viewing of the film should beware: The film was released in two versions. One is the original release, with a runtime of 1h 46m (106 min), while the other has a length of 1h 41m (101 min), and is labeled the Encore Edition, or print. This latter was apparently only released for the United States, and is a "special edition." Besides being shorter than the original release, this version, released in 2005, contains some special features that are not available in the theatrical release, such as deleted scenes, outtakes, audio commentary, and a documentary about the making of the film, so it has compensatory facets the may more than make up for the lacking time. Copies of the original, 106-minute-long release can usually be distinguished by the label "multiformat," and may, depending on your hardware not be playable without special equipment.

Featured review
Finding Neverland is one of the best films I have seen all year. Depp and Winslet are superb and their supporting cast is very strong in particular Julie Christie, Dustin Hoffman and Freddie Highmore. Forster's direction is tight and he maintains a story which had the potential to drag. Depp delivers a performance that is truly believable and he interacts with his co-stars well, in particular, Freddie Highmore who delivers a performance that outshines Depp's. It is a tour de force of acting talent. Clearly Highmore has a great career ahead of him. 9/10 for a superb piece of film-making, made diligently but, unfortunately, up against such strong contention, it had to make do with a disappointing award haul.
