Almost 50 years after
Walt Disney brought
James M. Barrie's classic
children's tale
Peter Pan to the screen in one of the best-loved animated features, the studio that bears his name revisits the story of the magical boy who doesn't grow up in this sequel. In London during World War II,
Wendy (voice of
Kath Soucie) comforts her children with stories about her youthful adventures with
Peter Pan (voice of
Blayne Weaver) in the fantastic world of Neverland. Young
Danny (voice of
Andrew McDonough) loves the stories and believes that they're real, but his older sister,
Jane (voice of
Harriet Owen), isn't so certain.
Jane soon discovers her mother is indeed telling the truth when she's kidnapped by the evil
Captain Hook (voice of
Corey Burton) and spirited away to his lair in Neverland.
Hook is still trying to capture his nemesis,
Peter Pan, after all these years, and is certain he'll come to the rescue of his old friend,
Wendy; however,
Hook realizes too late that he's carried away
Wendy's daughter instead.
Peter comes to the aid of young
Jane, but as they do battle with
Hook, he realizes it will take some work before
Jane will fit in with the Lost Boys.
Return to Neverland includes original songs from
Jonatha Brooke and
They Might Be Giants.
