Strikingly beautiful as an adult

I related so eerily to Peter, rewatching it this year. I sort of kinda liked/loved this film as a kid, and in my early twenties it was AWOL, but now in my thirties I feel a deep resonance with this film's message of family/childhood, etc. It's not just a Peter Pan flick. I think Spielberg knew what he was doing. I still don't LOVE it, but I almost shed a tear towards the end when I rewatched it.

I really liked this movie when I was a kid. I had a lot of the action figures, including Peter Pan who looked WAY more buff than Robin Williams ever did in the movie, with a face that looked nothing like him.

I even brought some cut-up pieces of tree branches and glued arts and crafts supplies to them to turn them into tree houses for the action figures. Unfortunately, termites started to come out of the wood, so I had to throw them all out.
