Anecdotes
In real life, Michael Llewelyn Davies was J.M. Barrie's inspiration for Peter Pan. Michael, not Peter, was said to be Barrie's favorite of the children. It's not clear why Barrie chose to name the main character Peter. One idea is that his brothers and Peter behaved the most like an adult at a young age. Barrie wished he'd had more of a childhood, so he immortalized him as the symbol of youth.

Gaffes
When Peter is knocking over his set for his play, a man in a t-shirt, blue jeans and a baseball cap is reflected in the window.

Citations
J.M. Barrie: Young boys should never be sent to bed... they always wake up a day older.

Versions alternatives
Those wishing to duplicate their experience from the theatrical viewing of the film should beware: The film was released in two versions. One is the original release, with a runtime of 1h 46m (106 min), while the other has a length of 1h 41m (101 min), and is labeled the Encore Edition, or print. This latter was apparently only released for the United States, and is a "special edition." Besides being shorter than the original release, this version, released in 2005, contains some special features that are not available in the theatrical release, such as deleted scenes, outtakes, audio commentary, and a documentary about the making of the film, so it has compensatory facets the may more than make up for the lacking time. Copies of the original, 106-minute-long release can usually be distinguished by the label "multiformat," and may, depending on your hardware not be playable without special equipment.

One of Depp's finest films!

I am not a film critic by any means, and don't aim to pose as one. That being said, I felt that this movie was by far one of the most touching and entertaining movies I have seen in my short 22 years. The cast is fabulous, every actor plays his/her part so to speak.

The story centers around J. M. Barrie, creator of Peter Pan, and his journey to writing the well-known play. It highlights his genius, while also showing the painful isolation that comes with being a mind ahead of your time. There are some liberties taken when put against the actual events that led up to the birth of Peter Pan, but don't let this dissuade you from watching--"Finding Neverland" was never slated as being a documentary!

Being a huge Johnny Depp fan, one would think that my judgment would be tainted by his involvement in the film. However, even I can admit to a failed Depp movie (i.e. The Secret Window). At first, I thought that putting Depp outside of his usual character type, a mildly strange pirate/writer/doctor/investigator/man with scissors for hands, might signify a substandard film. Boy was I wrong! He nailed J.M. Barrie and was absolutely captivating throughout the entire film. I hate to sound like a starry-eyed fan but I thought his performance in this movie was downright Oscar-worthy!

Depp is magnificent, but he does not carry the weight of this film on his own. A slue of other fine actors and actresses, Kate Winslet and Freddy Highmore just to name a few, give absolutely divine performances. Do yourself a favor, shell out the eight bucks and go see this movie!
