Parents need to know
Families can talk about why someone might not want to grow up. What do grown-ups do to keep the best part of childhood inside themselves? Is that what Barrie was doing in writing this story?
Message
Social Behavior:
Consumerism:
Drugs/Alcohol/Tobacco:
Characters drink and smoke and a pirate offers liquor and cigars to a child.
Violence
A lot of fantasy violence, including swordfights, guns, and hitting below the belt. Pirates are killed. There is a brief graphic image of Captain Hook's amputated arm as he puts on one of his hooks.
Sex
We see boys' bare behinds. There are a couple of sweet kisses and some subtle references to puberty.
Language
Common Sense says
What's the story?

Is it any good?
Some Pan lovers will object to some gentle tweaking of the story. But it's not so much to be politically correct or bring it up to date as it is to remove any distractions from what in today's view would be seen as sexism.
