The Adventures of Peter Pan arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The jokes in The Adventures of Peter Pan land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. The anime starts with Wendy having a dream about Peter Pan rescuing her and having a sword fight with Captain Hook. Wendy and her two brothers later on the episode go to Never Never land and Wendy becomes the 'mother' of the Lost boys. Throughout the series a romance blooms between Peter and Wendy as they go on fights with pirates . The chemistry Noriko Hidaka and Naoko Matsui bring to it does a lot of the heavy lifting. It was aired in 1989. The timing in The Adventures of Peter Pan is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. It sustains a level of quality that very few manage to hold onto all the way through.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, The Adventures of Peter Pan respects your intelligence. The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius is the obvious comparison, but The Adventures of Peter Pan earns its own place alongside it. A contained run means every episode is doing real work. Noriko Hidaka sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
