“Peter Pan & Wendy” Disney+ Original Film Early Social Media Reactions

This coming Friday, Disney is releasing “Peter Pan & Wendy”, which is a brand new live-action reimagining of the J.M. Barrie novel and the 1953 animated classic.

Directed by David Lowery (“The Green Knight,” “Pete’s Dragon”), the film introduces Wendy Darling, a young girl afraid to leave her childhood home behind who meets Peter Pan, a boy who refuses to grow up. Alongside her brothers and a tiny fairy, Tinker Bell, she travels with Peter to the magical world of Neverland. There, she encounters an evil pirate captain, Captain Hook, and embarks on a thrilling and dangerous adventure that will change her life forever.

Critics have been watching the film this week, ahead of its release on Disney+ on Friday and have been sharing their first early thoughts on the film.  I’ve also been able to watch the film early and will be sharing my full review on Friday, but here’s my first reaction:
