Right now, though, it only has two citations for that sentence at the end, both of them being reviews:

-->\\\"One thing that I feel is important to mention is the portrayal of Peter Pan in the movie. As seen in the trailers, it’s the one from Disney’s own Peter Pan animated movie but grown-up. His backstory is strikingly similar to that of Bobby Driscoll, the Disney child actor who voiced Peter in the movie and was tossed from the company soon after. Whether intentional or not (and really, it’s so similar it kind of seems like it has to be), considering Driscoll’s rough life beyond being axed by Disney, this was in extremely poor taste to include. Including a different character and/or a different backstory for this role in the story would have been a better option, and my ultimate score of the movie will be taking this poor decision into account.\\\"

-->\\\"This \\\'\\\'Disney Afternoon\\\'\\\' remix would have been truly close to perfection in how well it juggles the medium it celebrates and spoofs. However, the powers that be at Walt Disney Pictures and Mandeville Films made the highly questionable call to indirectly revise the tragic history of Bobby Driscoll, the voice behind \\\'\\\'Peter Pan\\\'\\\', whose acting trajectory was dramatically altered by the termination of his contract with Disney.\\\\\\\\\\\\
\\\'\\\'Chip ‘n Dale: Rescue Rangers\\\'\\\' had a wide array of animated characters to choose from as its main antagonist — I mean, Gaston from \\\'\\\'Beauty and the Beast\\\'\\\' was right there! Instead, it chose an aged-up Peter Pan (Arnett) who goes to Russian baths, kidnaps \\\'\\\'The Little Mermaid\\\'\\\'’s Flounder when he falls behind on his krill payments, and turns reject Shrek toys into toilets.\\\\\\\\\\\\
“Sweet Pete” explains to Chip and Dale in one scene that his desperation and solitude after being kicked out of Disney once he got “too old” for the role turned him to a life of cartoon crime. (Yikes.)\\\\\\\\\\\\
The loss of Driscoll’s career, which included Disney’s \\\'\\\'Song of the South\\\'\\\', \\\'\\\'Melody Time\\\'\\\', and \\\'\\\'Treasure Island\\\'\\\', greatly impacted the actor. He turned to drugs and died homeless and alone at 31. Obviously, his death cannot be “blamed” on Disney, but his ousting from a promising profession certainly did not help the circumstances that led to it.

There honestly should be more than just those two reviews, but they are a start at least.
