Welcome to Round 19 of Least Fave Disney Animated Classic and a Happy New Year to everyone at Buzzjack and our first to bow out in the new year is "Peter Pan", which after such a close battle with "Frozen" and literally the 2 were neck and neck, it's "PP" that finally loses it's place with 7 votes, just 1 ahead of "Frozen". Such a total shame given that's one of my all time favourite Disney movies and had hoped that this would end up in the top 10, but sadly it wasn't to be. But coming as a pretty big shock especially given that it only received one vote in the previous round and never received more than 2 throughout the entire rounds. It just goes to show how brutal these polls are getting as we are now down to the classics.

Released in 1953 as the 14th Walt Disney Animated Classic and is based upon the J.M Barrie book "Peter Pan, or The Bow Who Wouldn't Grow Up" and was always one of Walt Disney's favourite stories and was intended to follow "Snow White" directly, but couldn't get the rights until 4 years later and then went through several struggles throughout the years, including WW2, which forced everything to be put on hold and plus the studio ending up in debt several times over. But when it finally did come out it became a commercial success making $7 Million against it's $4 Million budget and through several re-releases it ended up grossing over $87 Million at the box office. Peter Pan has adapted several times throughout the years on the big screen, including a 2003 live action remake and a 1991 sequel of some sorts "Hook" which starred Robin Williams, Dustin Hoffman, Maggie Smith and Julia Roberts and grossed over $300 Million Worldwide and most recently "Pan" which came out this year and was panned by critics and bombed at the box office. There was even a animated sequel called "Return To Neverland" in 2002 and even several Tinkerbell spin offs. There is also another live action adaptation planned, based on Tinkerbell and is to be played by Reese Witherspoon.

As for the other results, "Frozen" again came very close to leaving with 6 votes. Both "Bambi" and "Mulan" score 3 votes, while "Lady and the Tramp", "Sleeping Beauty" , "Alice In Wonderland", "The Jungle Book" and "The Hunchback Of Notre Dame" each score 1 vote each.




16th Peter Pan = 7 Votes



This in my opinion will always be the definitive version of "Peter Pan" and to this day it retains the magic that made kids fall in love with it and the animation is certainly very excellent and for years as a child this was my favourite Disney movie, even now it still ranks in my top 10. There are many wonderful and beautiful scenes that are breathtaking and take you right back to your childhood. Even now as an adult I still love it and while it does stray away from the darkness from the book, but who cares it's Disney after all and they always change what's originally written and manage to turn it into something that's so much more magical. The characters are what really brought this to life, we have of course Peter Pan who really makes the whole thing work and of course the brilliantly designed Tinkerbell, along with Wendy voiced by Kathryn Beaumont who also voiced Alice in Alice In Wonderland, and again doing excellent voice work and of course the ever wonderful Captain Hook who makes a fantastic comedic villain and one of the most entertaining villians that Disney have offered us throughout the years.


Right then we are now down to the final 15, and same rules apply just vote for your least fave by the next round which will be on 5th January 2016.
