Disney's latest live-action remake of "Peter Pan and Wendy" directed by David Lowery presents a diverse and empowered ensemble, correcting the vintage toon's shameful Native American stereotypes and making Tinker Bell a role model for a wider range of children. However, the film fails to rise above being mere "content" and is far more safe than satisfying, with a weak link in the portrayal of Peter Pan. Visually owing more to the "Harry Potter" series, the movie releases on Disney+ on April 28.
