We like being both nerdy AND flirty… so we were thrilled when Megan Highwind reviewed “The New Adventures of Peter and Wendy” in Nerdy-But-Flirty.
“The series is a cute, fun, take on the classic story and does a good job of representing the original characters while bringing new life and modernity to them. The best thing about this series is how lighthearted it is.”
Check out her full review here in New Adventures of Peter and Wendy Review!
We are proud to be the first blogged recommendation from the “notoriously addicted to YouTube” Kelly, over at Three Basic Bees.
You can check out the full review here at her article: You Should Watch: The New Adventures of Peter and Wendy
And here are a few fun snippets:
“I fell in love with this particular adaption because the show gets to explore very prominent issues in our world while incorporating familiar, lovable characters.”
” If you look at the comment sections in The New Adventures of Peter and Wendy, it is easy to see that people are connecting with these characters on a much deeper level. Peter Pan and the Darlings are not fantasy figures anymore; they are people in their twenties struggling with life plans, rejection, love and aging.”
Anything is possible with a big dream (and a little bit of pixie dust). Kelsey Allen does a wonderful job of showing us Paula Rhodes’ wild ride to awesomeness, in her article for Mizzou Mag (the alumni magazine for Michigan University).
We love books (so much so we are turning one into a web series!) So do the wonderful people at BookTrib.com. Ann Nordland sat down with our very own Peter Pan, the “mushy, cuddly bear of a grown man” Kyle Walters for this awesome interview: The New Adventures of Peter + Wendy updates a childhood favorite into modern, adult romcom.
PLUS! There’s a giveaway! Scroll midway down the article.
a YouTube series as light and sparkling as a glass of champagne
Are you interested in hearing more about the minds of co-creators Kyle Walters and Shawn deLoache? Thankfully Drunk Austen has provided you (and us!) with an exclusive interview in her article “Q&A: KYLE WALTERS AND SHAWN DELOACHE OF THE NEW ADVENTURES OF PETER AND WENDY.” Pour yourself a drink (responsibly), put down Pride and Prejudice and read the interview!
“the show is like a nerd nirvana, with references to Doctor Who and Star Wars other scifi staples making appearances not only in script, but also in unexpected places like set dressings and in Peter’s weekly comic strip”
Claire Hellar gives us an awesome shout out in her recent post “The New Adventures of Peter and Wendy” on her blog Coffee and Irony.
Some highlights include:
“If you are a cynical human being, head for the door, because the adorbs is strong with this one.”
“…the one-liners and terms coined are GEMS (“hipster spinster”). Watch it. Fall in love.”
Mandi Harris over at fandomania talks about how so many great web series nowadays are pulling their inspiration from some truly classic novels. She included “The New Adventures of Peter and Wendy” in her write-up in “YouTube’s Classics Explosion.”
Thanks for watching Mandy, and we’re glad you enjoy the show.
Here are some of the things she said about our show:
“I really couldn’t stop watching it when I started”
“It’s a really funny mix. I’ve had plenty of laughs watching it so far.”
Many websites are starting to add “The New Adventures of Peter And Wendy” to their lists of top web series to be watching. Laura Kadner at HelloGiggles recently did just that with her article “The Literary-Inspired Web Series You Should Be Watching.”
Thanks Laura!
“Neverland, OH is an enchanting place.”
Eli David has written a wonderful review of our show! Peter Pan is one of his favorite stories… “Ergo, any content using it as source material will be held to a near-impossible standard.” Spoiler alert: he loves everything about our adaptation.
I love everything about this adaptation. Its analogous characters, imagery, and story are perfect updates of their originals.

From the sets to the sound and camera cues to the theme, everything about The New Adventures of Peter and Wendy is as ideal as one could wish.
Looks like we’re good enough for the snobbiest of robots! Chris Hadley over at Snobby Robot has written a beautifully positive and eloquent review of our show in his article: THE NEW ADVENTURES OF PETER AND WENDY: You Never Grow Up When You’re Making Movies.
Here’s a tiny snippet of what he had to say:
“an incredibly unique modern take on the literary classic.”
