'Peter Pan And Wendy' review: Not enough pixie dust to truly soar

J.M. Barrie’s 1904 play Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up has been adapted so many times over the years that it is hard to find one that is wholly original.

Of the major attempts at doing so, the most memorable recent ones include Steven Spielberg’s Hook in 1991 with the late Robin Williams as a Peter Pan who had grown up, and 2015’s Pan, an ‘origin story’ that tells how Peter and Hook became mortal enemies, and starred Hugh Jackman as Blackbeard the pirate.
