Return to Never Land (also known as Peter Pan in Return to Never Land, Peter Pan: Return to Never Land, or simply Peter Pan II) is a 2002 American animated adventure fantasy film produced by Disney MovieToons and Walt Disney Television Animation. A sequel to Walt Disney Feature Animation's 1953 film Peter Pan, the film is based on the 1908 play When Wendy Grew Up by J.M. Barrie. It follows Wendy's daughter, Jane, who is mistakenly abducted and brought to Neverland and must learn to believe in order to return home. The film stars the voices of Harriet Owen, Blayne Weaver, Corey Burton, Jeff Bennett, Kath Soucie, Spencer Breslin, and Bradley Pierce.

Return to Never Land premiered at the El Capitan Theatre in Los Angeles, California on February 10, 2002, and was released in the United States in February 15, by Buena Vista Pictures Distribution. Despite receiving mixed reviews from critics, it was a box-office success like its predecessor, grossing $115 million against a $20 million budget.
