I just finished watching Peter Pan 2: Return to Never Land…
And gosh darnit, I really liked this movie!
How can this be? How is it that I enjoyed a friggin’ sequel to a classic Disney movie?? I didn’t even like the original! (What I can remember of it, that is..) It was all rather odd, and though I can rightfully blame my current PMSing for the welling tears of emotion, I think my enjoyment was actually more because of being able to relate to a character. Y’know, that is really what most of the movies go for. They want you to relate to a character, because it makes it more realistic. But in my case, I could never really relate to any of the flimsy princesses and daring heroes. I thought for a while that I was like Belle, but upon further inspection I soon realized that we actually have nothing in common, except for both being brainy book-a-holics. She wants adventures in the Great Wide Somewhere (and she wants it more that she can tell!), while I am perfectly happy staying at home, thank you very much!
Well, anywho, I liked it. It might be because of the wannabe cool grownup girl, and it might be because of the slapstick humor, or it might be because of the not-so-subtly Disney-fied deaths and locusts. It was all really weird.
