Most charismatic portrayal Peter?

I have to say the Disney one for me. I love the red hair and I actually like his American voice (even though I’m English and covet the idea that Peter is too!). Bobby Driscoll nailed the part, and put a bit of the devil in the character. And (haters of the sequel don’t kill me) I think he’s even more charismatic in ‘Return to Neverland’. I love his entrance on the Jolly Roger. ‘I didn’t know a codfish could talk’. Classic Pan.

Jeremy Sumpter didn’t do much for me in the 2003 live-action, even though he is adorable.
And as for Robin Williams - no thanks! Peter will never never ever grow up!

Eh didn't like the Disney one. I always thought Peter was a real jerk. And this was when I was 5 years old. One of the reasons I never enjoyed the Disney Peter Pan. It took me reading the original book. For me to realize Peter is actually likable.

Jeremy Sumpter gave the best portrayal IMHOP.

I agree. Disney did such a great job at designing the character of Peter Pan and Bobby Driscoll's awesome. The Disney movie is a 4-star in my book.
