Lost Boys (Peter Pan)
The Lost Boys are characters from J. M. Barrie's 1904 play '' Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up'' and later adaptations and extensions to the story. They are boys "who fall out of their prams when the nurse is looking the other way and if they are not claimed in seven days, they are sent far away to Neverland," where Peter Pan is their captain. There are no "lost girls" because as Peter explains, girls are far too clever to fall out of their prams. This was retconned for the 2023 reboot film '' Peter Pan & Wendy'' where the Lost Boys (still named as such) now include girls. Original Lost Boys * Tootles is described as the most unfortunate and humblest of the band, because "the big things" and adventures happen while "he has stepped round the corner." This however has not soured but sweetened his nature. He is the one who shoots Wendy with a bow and arrow after Tinker Bell tells them that Wendy is a bird that Peter wanted killed. When Tootles realises his mistake, he ask ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Captain Hook
Captain James Hook is the main antagonist of J. M.

An Prosthesis, iron hook that replaced his severed hand has given the pirate his name. Creation of the character Hook did not appear in early drafts of the play, wherein the capricious and coercive Peter Pan was closest to a "villain", but was created for a front-cloth scene (a cloth flown well downstage in front of which short scenes are played while big scene changes are "silently" carried out upstage) depicting the children's journey home. Later, Barrie expanded the scene, on the premise that children were Pirates in the arts and po ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Neverland
Neverland is a fictional island featured in the works of J. M. Barrie and those based on them. It is an imaginary faraway place where Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, Captain Hook, the Lost Boys, and some other imaginary beings and creatures live. Although not all people who come to Neverland cease to age, its best-known resident, Peter Pan, famously refused to grow up. Thus, the term is often used as a metaphor for eternal childhood (and childishness), as well as immortality and escapism. The concept was first introduced as "the Never Never Land" in Barrie's West End theatre play '' Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up'', first staged in 1904. In the earliest drafts of the play, the island was called "Peter's Never Never Never Land", a name possibly influenced by the ' Never Never', a contemporary term for outback Australia. In the 1928 published version of the play's script, the name was shortened to "the Never Land". Although the caption to one of F. D. Bedford's illu ...
