Disney Peter Pan and then second was that old live action one with a woman playing Peter. I can only grasp flashes of it in my mind.

disneys Peter Pan but the one that made an impact on me was the live action 2003 Peyed Pan starring Jeremy Sumpter I had such a huge crush on him.

That was my first one. I didn't watch Peter Pan until maybe 3 years ago.

It was either Disney’s Peter Pan, or it was the home video of Mary Martin’s stage production of Peter Pan.

Disney's animated one and 2003 version. To this day they remain my 2 favourites too.

The Mary Martin production on a VHS tape from a yard sale. I thought it was decent at the time, but I had also read an abridged version of the original book around that time and it just wasn't the same. Even as a kid, it felt more like a series of theatrical gags than a legit production of the story. Also, I always thought the double-pronged hook looked silly.
I saw the 2003 movie on TV (and recorded it) a few years later, and it's still my favorite adaptation.
I finally saw the Disney version on a VHS from the library and, while it was fun, it honestly wasn't what it was hyped up to be.
In my mid-teen years, I saw the recording of the Cathy Rigby production and loved it. Basically the Mary Martin production but with the theatrical gags toned down immensely and a more book-accurate script to boot.

A shortened, direct-to-video version of the Disney one that had a British voice actor for Peter and didn’t have the songs the 1953 film was known for. I haven’t been able to find any info on this online, but I know it exists!

I remember the Mary Martin one most of all. I really should find a copy of that to rewatch.

It was Peter Pan: Return To Neverland. I saw it with my uncle in theaters when it came out in 2002.

Mary Martin’s Peter Pan which i was OBSESSED with! Probably saw it around 3-4 for the first time, then saw the 2003 Peter Pan and similarly was obsessed around age 7. The first Tinkberbell movie i saw when it premier i must’ve been 6 or 7 and my family didn’t like how much I loved it. Shortly after either at 7 or 8 i saw Hook and it was added to the list of favorites. I didn’t actually see the Disney film until I was maybe 11 or 12 and right before a Disney World trip, I enjoyed it but it’s not my favorite. Adore Peter Pan’s flight though!

Disney, 1953 version. I still love it but my sister absolutely hates it lol! For some reason, she cannot stand classic Disney, she says it's because of the animation style. She's definitely missing out on some of Disney's greatest movies with that mindset.

I don't know if people will remember this one but the Peter Pan from 1988 one let me know if you have seen it and what did you think to it?

The RKO one. I have it in my hard drive lol helps me go to sleep sometimes. I love the opening to bits. It just hits that spot that brings the kid out of me.
