Several critics have pounced on what they perceive as a sexual subtext in
the latest version of Peter Pan and warn parents that this movie is not what
they might expect. Jan Stuart describes a kissing scene between Wendy and
Peter as "a betrayal of [author J.M. Barrie's] spirit that should send Peter
Pan fans flying off to Never-again-land." Liam Lacey in the Toronto Globe
and Mail also writes of the "tendency to make the covert erotic themes in
Barrie too clear." On the other hand Roger Ebert in the Chicago Sun-Times
observes that the movie is not "overtly sexual," adding: "It's just that the
sensuality is there, and the other versions have pretended that it was not."
