The Wizard of Oz and Peter Pan were my favorite movies when I was just a little brat. Seeing them later, they've lost some of their luster. Instead of the magical land of Oz, I see a sound stage. And I see the wires that let Mary Martin fly in Peter Pan. But - the song still holds up well - truly a classic.
Reeves
