Back again with another cheesy dub.
If you don't know this is a dub of Nippon Animation's Peter Pan anime. For some reason, the only 5 episodes released in English on home video (1 DVD volume in the UK) are basically NOWHERE online (I have a feeling Nippon is behind that) and I had to do serious digging to find it in other languages at all. These 5 episodes apparently were uploaded to YouTube in the past but Nippon blocked them worldwide. As for the rest of the series in English, the Library of Congress has it. And maybe some guy in his attic too? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
In my honest opinion, this sounds much more... mediocre than Saban's usual stuff, and for some reason episode 3 has different voice actors than the others.
Anyways, these are raw from the DVD ripped with MakeMKV, untouched as to not fib with the already low quality too much (Being that these are obviously from the 90s on top of being PAL instead of NTSC how it was made). It has double fields so I'd suggest Yadif2x for the best experience.
DDL can be found on Google Drive, to bypass torrenting and/or helping seed faster: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1jOEwc4BFpMbI4Z4p6TKG42YhRH6oaNc6?usp=drive_link
I did scans of the cover and disc for the one or two people that are probably interested in that.
I don't have much else to say on these except, uh, keep circulating them if Nippon wants to take them down so more people can see this rarity!!
(Unrelated side note: Prime Video Italy appears to have a remaster of this anime that isn't anywhere else based on the banner and preview images looking like such. Would be cool if someone could get those)

I've been hoping to find more than a few clips and you've got a whole dvd rip?! Yeah, it might be only episodes 1-5, but that's still amazing to find and share. Thank you!! Also, thank you for the cover scans. Especially including the inside ad despite it not being directly relevant to the series. A lot of people would probably exclude that so thank you. If you're willing to upload the dvdiso that'd be amazing to archive as well. So it's archived somewhere. Such a rarity here.
That's all I really wanted to say. Thank you again!
