  • Peter Pan -- Walt Disney's animated feature is a delightful adaptation of Sir James M. Barrie's 1904 play about an impish 12-year-old boy (voice of Bobby Driscoll) who refuses to grow up. Directed by Hamilton Luske, Clyde Geronimi and Wildred Jackson, it offers dreamy fantasy panoramas of London and Never Never Land, along with the antics of feisty pixie Tinker Bell and mostly unmemorable songs. Some dated sexist (jealous women) and racial (Native Americans) stereotypes are used in wrong-headed attempts at humor. (A-I) (G) ( 1953 )




    These movies have been evaluated for artistic merit and moral suitability by the media reviewing division of Catholic News Service. The reviews include the CNS rating, the Motion Picture Association of America rating, and a brief synopsis of the movie.

    The classifications are as follows:

    A-I -- general patronage;
    A-II -- adults and adolescents;
    A-III -- adults;
    L -- limited adult audience, films whose problematic content many adults would find troubling. L replaces the previous classification, A-IV.
    O -- morally offensive.

    Note: Some movies previously were designated A-IV. Older films with this classification should be regarded as classified L.
