Movie is like 15 percent too long and could be edited more coherently but it’s still a good watch and an emotional success

If you would have told me in 1990 that Robin Williams was going to play Peter Pan as a middle aged man and it would be one of the best movies of our generation, I would have said you were insane. This movie is the perfect example of writing and casting coming together to make magic onscreen.

Yeah man, I’m watching it again tonight and having my parents over for dinner.

Watched this with my kids last night. I adore this movie.

I think the thing I like about it the most is that Peter Pan was already a cool story as a kid and this movie made it something even cooler.

100% I have Peter Pan syndrome in a small way. I think I can blame this movie.

I have Robin's final line from this movie tattooed on my forearm - "To live will be an awfully big adventure"

God. I wanted to be a part of this dinner so badly when I was a little kid. Think at the time this came out I was 11-12, so would have fit right in with all the Lost Boys. Probably the only dream bigger was going to live in Astoria OR and be a Goonie.

Checking in with Astoria dreams 😭

I was 8 when it came out and saw it in the theatre. It’s been one of my favorite movies ever since.
I also used to watch the Peter Pan cartoon after school before this came out.

I love this movie. This scene was so fun to watch. A food fight with Robin Williams?? Hell yes.

This was the first VHS movie we hired that I watched twice, once the night we got it, and again in the morning! With my best mate whom I've been friends with for 40+ years. Can't wait to watch it with my kids when they're a bit older.

I know this is unpopular, but I’ve always hated this movie with the fury of a thousand suns. This frosting scene was literally what crystallized my hate. It’s like a prequel to Idiocracy- they’re eating frosting for dinner and then throw it at each other.
I promise I’m not a curmudgeon. I’ve had a lot of therapy and I still have no clue why this movie and this scene provoke such a strong reaction but here I am. 🤷🏼♀️

Maybe you just hate food waste? Lol

I've just had... an apostrophe!

I think you mean an epiphany.

I wish my life looked more like this scene. It would be less messy and more beautiful.

BANGARANG! I love the insult battle in this scene.

You lewd, crude, rude bag of pre-chewed food, dude.

this movie was a bridge, between old writers,directors,actors, passing it on to our generation, they used to be young, theyre still young here, but older, hook was a blessing.
