The Walt Disney Company has broken the vaults wide open to add a plethora of fascinating historic artifacts to make this new Platinum Edition a must-own for any Disney collector.

I have to give a special shout-out to Tinkerbell, a Disney creation that I never fully appreciated as a child.

...if we must have only one enduring account of Barrie's creations, we could do worse.

Perhaps Disney's most underrated work.

A cavalcade of classic songs, unforgettable moments, gorgeous handcrafted animation and, unfortunately, some racial stereotypes.

While it's neither the best retelling of Barrie's nursery tale or nor the best Disney cartoon of the era, it is, fortunately, a decent enough example of both.

Heartwarming story about boys, girls and growing up. Oh yeah, and there's cool pirates too.

Peter Pan may be a boy who refuses to grow up, but his movie is really one of Disney's most adult "kids'" films.
