In other words, there was a lot more in here than we remembered, and it raised a few questions - like why does everyone want to kiss Peter? Did Rufio get the justice he deserved? How many wax strips were involved in removing all of Robin William's body hair for this role? And ultimately, does this childhood classic hold up today?
