    The writer had a brother who died when he was really young. Peter was inspired by his brother so he could be a symbol of child like wonder and live forever as the little boy he was when he died.

      I read somewhere, that James Barrie made Peter Pan ageless because his brother (that passed) will forever remain young in the memory of his mother. His mother will never think of his brother as a grown man, therefore, Peter does not age.

  • @sofiafeliciano3713
    @sofiafeliciano3713 Před 7 lety +659

    There is a theory that says that Peter Pan is actualy dead, and all the other people in Neverland are dead too. The Darling chirdreen are able to go to Neverland because they literally jumped out the window believing that they could fly, and it obviously didn't end well. But that isn't very Disney friendly. And there is a lot more information and explinations about this theory but I can't remember. But this one is very good too, I only think that the darkest theories tend to be more intriguing.

    • @daniellemusella1594
      @daniellemusella1594 Před 7 lety +97

      I heard something similar to that. The theory said that Peter was actually an angel, and that Neverland was a section of Heaven set aside for children.

    • @sofiafeliciano3713
      @sofiafeliciano3713 Před 7 lety +12

      oooh19 I'm not sure if that's heaven, it depends on your religion. Just because their dead it doesn't mean that they have to go to heaven or hell. And probably Peter only teams up with the children that go there, if you die an adult you probably apear there as an adult and vice versa.

  • @sarahvanorden670
    @sarahvanorden670 Před 7 lety +194

    I always thought that Peter stayed a child because he was based off of JM Barrie's older brother who died at age 14 and he was "forever a child" according to JM and his mother

      @kristigermain834 Před 4 lety +6

      He stays a child because he doesn't really exist. He symbolizes eternal youth and Neverland is in the minds of the children. It's all symbolism. Peter Pan does not age. And Hook is chased by a clock.......the crocodile symbolizes time and after Pan cut off Hook's hand and threw it to the crocodile, from then on Hook was a grown up. The croc had ready taken a piece of him. And that's what happens when you get older, you realize that time has already got a piece of you, and will eventually take you entirely.

    I think Peter Pan died as a war orphan. They live during the time of bomb shelters(as shown in the 2nd movie)but of course his time may have been longer and more violent than that. He felt bad for the LOST boys because they reminded him of himself. He just wanted to have a fun and have a happy childhood but his life was taken at an early age; which is why he took them in away from reality. He also took Wendy to Neverland for this reason because she said she was going to be "forced to grow up tomorrow". Wendy chose to grow up so he returned her home, but the lost boys stayed by their own will. He is still a kind-hearted 12 year old boy in my eyes and Hook is the bad guy. Remember he kidnapped Tiger lilly and forced Wendy to walk the planks to her death.

      i know that this comment is 5 years old, but i have to give my thoughts. peter has an american accent (and it sounds almost southern in the sequel). there were many wars in america in the 18th century, as they were seeking independence. perhaps he was killed (horrible, but they were very capable of that) or him ending up in never land was a way to protect him.

    • @caelthesadlettuce
      @caelthesadlettuce Před rokem +2

      in the book I think he fell out his pram as a kid and spent enough time away from people he became a "betwixt and in between" so he literally can't die, thats why he doesn't age.

  • @ausomeaspie
    @ausomeaspie Před 7 lety +46

    The actual real reason is sad. J M Barrie's brother died the day before his 13th birthday so he was the boy who never grew up. But the Movie reason or why it is in thw story is probably this.

  • @swarlock

  • @CeltycSparrow
    @CeltycSparrow Před 7 lety +38

    Here's a notion.....I believe that Neverland (aka the second star to the right) is also the Wishing Star from Pinocchio and The Princess and the Frog. I believe the first time we see the Wishing Star used is when Geppetto wishes that Pinocchio become a real boy. We see it used again in the Princess and the Frog when Tiana makes her wish and when Ray the firefly dies, he becomes a star to join his beautiful Evangeline in the sky....and his star is on her LEFT side. Now hear me out....We know from J.M. Barrie's original story Peter Pan that the reason why Peter Pan ran away from home as an infant and journeyed to Neverland was because he heard his mother and father discussing what they wanted him to be as a man....and he wanted ALWAYS to be a little boy and have fun. And we know that Neverland is second star to the right and straight on till morning. So what if Peter made a wish too....that exact wish in fact that he would always remain a child and have fun....and the Blue Fairy granted his wish by creating his Neverland home so that he would never grow up? That is why his home is quite literally a star. Its just a thought.....

    • @IsaacCarlson

  • @ammythesta2099
    @ammythesta2099 Před 7 lety +101

    Peter Pan isn't a metaphor for our inner child he is a metaphor for our problems and how we deal with them. In the live action peter pan he wasn't always happy go lucky and optimistic. He had his turmoil too. He as a child that never ages has to find a way to deal with those problems. You can't solve problems by running away from them or acting like a spoiled brat. Despite technically never growing up, he did grow up, not in body but in mind. He takes care of the lost boys and specifically convinces Wendy to be their "mother" and tell them stories. He is more adult like than he thinks. Which brings me to the point of why? Why does he take care of the lost boys this way? It's because he wants them to have a family. Peter can't remember his family and never remembers having one. He is the oldest out of all the lost boys. Where I think Peter was abandoned by his parents. He takes care of the lost boys almost instinctually. He doesn't even know what a kiss is! He shows that even in the hardest times your inner child can help you solve the most complicated problems, he solves the problem of the lost boys by bringing in Wendy to tell them stories and make them happy, simply solution for a serious problem. I will warn this may get dark. Take suicide for example. It seems it would be easy, everything would be over, no one would care, in the movie Peter just gives up to hook until Wendy kisses him. Childish romance basically saved his life, simply because he felt there was a new reason for him to live. In his words "To live will be an awfully big adventure" each day presents a new challenges that the child's mind may not understand but solve the easiest. Adults over analyze thing and complicate themselves. Adults need to learn to act like kids more often. Kids don't always worry about the little things and when the big things come around they don't do it alone. Peter tried to solve everything on his own but hen realized he needed his friends to help him. Adults are stubborn and try to take all the burden on themselves, we all need to learn that there are people who are there to support us and help us when we have a problem.

And my mom told me what neverland really was...she told me "Neverland is wher parents would tell their kids they would go and never grow up when they died" and I began piecing Peter pan together like how he doesn't grow up and how wendy and her siblings are able to go there so then I looked at my siblings (2 older brothers and younger sister) and said "So does that mean that Peter Pan and Wendy and her siblings are dead?" and my brother said "Oh my god!" And I said " i just made Peter pan really dark" and that's how our day went

  • @Maximara
    @Maximara Před 6 lety +6

    Regarding 0:43, in the book it is hinted that Hook doesn't age either. It is clearly stated, that Captain Hook was the bo'sun (petty officer) of Blackbeard (Edward Teach). Later in one of her stories, Wendy makes a reference to "London Station" which the earliest of which is London Bridge Station built in 1836.
    Now Blackbeard was killed in 1718 which means Hook would have to be 118 years old _minimum_ and since Hook is nowhere described as an old man he doesn't age anymore then peter does.

    Peter pan never grows up because he is a GHOST. He kills the children he has jump out of the window, they hit the ground, but he makes them believe theyre flying. The original story of peter pan was a horror. Disney just flipped it around and made it appropriate for children. The "Lost boy" nickname, was made bcus of the fact he's killing the children, taking them to his island and keeping their spirits there forever.

    It isn’t because of anything in this video, in the original story, Peter literally REFUSED to grow up. And because Neverland is fueled on imagination, he could do that. That’s why hook and his crew are older, and the lost boys are young. Peter showed them how to stay young forever.

He is the personification of her childhood the purpose of the story is for Wendy to figure out how to embrace growing up in a healthy way (In the book it is decided that Peter would come get Wendy once a year for an adventure in Neverland) When he eventually stops coming it symbolizes her full transition to adulthood, and no longer needs to rely on childhood.

    I believe it's because of the pixidust. In the movie PAN, Blackbeard uses the pixidust or pixum to stay young. I believe that Peter in some way also did this. And we find out that Peter's mom was a human but his father was a fairyprince, and fairies can live millions and milions of years. So maybe Peter got this ability to live so long from his father. Maybe it's just a theory

  • @GanonGhidorah
    @GanonGhidorah Před 5 lety +4

    I actually think the truth is a lot darker...
    In the original novel, Neverland doesn't seem to stop aging; the only one who doesn't seem to age is Peter. It's actually described that occasionally the Lost Boys that Peter recruits eventually hit puberty and start becoming men...and which point, Peter describes having to "thin them out"...
    This could mean anything from banishing them from the Lost Boys, leaving them no choice but to join Hook's crew - supplying Hook with his - or to simply having them murdered; probably dropping them 100m into Crocodile infested waters. It's why Peter has to occasionally go to London to "recruit" more Lost Boys...when in reality - let's face it - he's kidnapping them.
    My theory is, in Disney's version...Pan and Hook (and possibly Smee) have all had to make sacrifices in order to prolong their lives and attain at least a form of immortality. With Peter it comes from killing a few Lost Boys every now and then, and with Hook, it comes from (both losing his hand) and killing a few members of his crew. In a sense, Pan and Hook perpetuate the cycle, fighting a never-ending battle between the two of them, so that they can both live forever; Pan gets to live his fantasy of rebelling against a mean-spirited, good-mannered, but ill-tempered Adult, and Hook basically gets to live forever...
    I have a feeling that Hook eventually brought in Smee on the spell to grant him immortality as well, so that he'd always have a second in command and confidant to help keep things in line, as well as someone to talk to.

    well, there are many legends in folklore stating that the world/worlds where fairies live are places where time doesent exist, or at least not in the way we are familiar. And that's why no one aged in there (some versions include that when somone returned from a fairy realm the time catched up to them, and they aged all those years at once)

  • @kaytlinjustis5643
    @kaytlinjustis5643 Před rokem +3

    I like the different versions of why the residents of Neverland never age. My favorites is the one featuring Mother Dove in the Tinkerbell book series, as well as the Peter and the Starcatchers series. In the Fairies book series, Neverland will never change due to some magical event that prevents Mother Dove's sole egg from hatching, giving her magical powers as the soul source of Pixie Dust from molted feathers, along with removing aging from the island. It displayed several instances of Peter rapidly aging when a storm shook the island, causing the magical egg to shatter; growing taller and losing all his baby teeth. In the third book of Starcatchers, the island gains its magical abilities through a giant quantity of Starstuff; said to have come from a falling star, and has the power to change animals into mythical creatures, create flight and happiness, and also (if done correctly), prevents aging. It is powerful, and extremely dangerous. ^^

    Actually, there's a Neverland Fairies book series. The book I had, at the very beginning of the book, had a short explanation of everything on Neverland. Somewhere deep in Pixie Hollow, there's a special bird who sits on her egg, and as long as this egg never breaks, nobody in Neverland will ever grow old. It did say that the egg broke once, but didn't say anything more about it, stating, "...but that's a story for another time." So yea. There ya go.

      Pinklover175 I haven't seen the movie in awhile so correct me if I'm wrong. I saw a comment saying he is symbolic of the authors brother who died at a young age, so maybe once he left the body instead of leaving to the afterlife-or whatever you believe in-he found a world where he could be a child forever, and he wanted to share the joy with others. He might have taken sick children to Neverland. (I recall the children having to take medication before bed, so maybe they were sick.) Once the children are there they are no longer ill, because magic? And so he leads sick young boys to the island, keep in mind kids his age would probably be scared of him and young girls would scream. So young, sick boys would be an easy target.

      From what I can piece together from Cobra's comment that the CIA "convinced an alien species that mosquitoes were endangered", I think that during Rosswell (which Cobra also mentions) there was a first contact. From what Pleakly says, the planet was set for some sort of "cleansing" for unknown reasons, and they didn't consider humans as intelligent life forms because we didn't have space travel at the time. While these aliens were inspecting the planet, the ship accidentally crash landed and the CIA got involved to cover it up. Upon learning that Earth was going to be "cleansed", an agent (perhaps Cobra himself) made up the BS story that the mosquito was an endangered species and that humans were their only food source. The aliens felt pity for the poor mosquito and declared the planet as a natural reserve. One of those aliens was probably a younger Grand Council Woman since she recognized him. What doesn't add up is that at the start of the movie, GCW doesn't know the Earth even existed, and suddenly at the end she recognizes Cobra, which is a bit weird unless she has terrible memorizing skills.

    OMG I just realized this reminds me of narnia-the tree is the original source of how the the magic and fantasy lives within another realm. IDK maybe he did grow old at one point like the others and made some tea from leaves or took a bite out of an apple from a tree, eating it/drinking from a stream which made him eternally youthful. The thing is, what made the source from the island magical in the first place? Maybe there used to be other, older fairies/dark fairies who used to live there and made it their home, made it magical? Just a few ideas of the top of my head. But, well you just opened up another realm worth visiting, looking into yourself. Thanks for that. Thanks for the video. Funny, I had the same theories watching along the video myself. Very creative, loved it!

  • @gabriellamcallister6807

    I'm reading a series about Peter by Dave Barry and Ridely Pearson. According to those books, Peter came into contact with too much Starstuff ( magical dust that falls to earth) which gave him the abilities to fly, never growing up, and other abilities I haven't read about yet ( I hope/think there will be more). Sadly, all of Peter's friends grow older while he stays the same. Also, the starstuff can change regular creatures into mythical creatures. Starstuff is dangerous in large quantities and most people die when they come in contact with too much. If you want to read these books as well there are five. The first is Peter and the Starcatchers. I love these books, and I hope you will too.

      You know once upon a time is just an adaptation of all these stories right?

    Ok, I did a lot of reasearch, and the answer lies here. Do not read this if you want your version of "the boy who never grows up" to be tainted. You see, Peter Pan's backstory is implied in a later remaking of the original disney film and even the original book. Peter says, (shorter, modern version)"...I heard my parents arguing one night about me becoming a man, and I left them for a while......When I tried to come back, the window was shut, and I saw a new baby in their arms. Since that day, I vowed to never grow up." Now, you can stop now if you are satisfied with that sad explanation, because I gurantee that the in depth explanation is much more-gruesome.
    Unfortunately, the evidence shows that the author made some changes to the original story to make it happy and kid-appropriate. Once you strip away the wrapping, a hidden meaning is revealed: Peter Pan did not run away. He died. He comes back to his house as a ghost to see what has become of his family and sees another boy in his stead, and his parents concievably much older. He cannot grow up because he died as a kid, and will forever remain a boy in Neverland (heaven) with the lost boys (also dead). His trip with Wendy suggests that Wendy is in some kind of a coma and must choose between life or death, staying with Peter or going back to her parents. If you did not like this review or have evidence otherwise, comment below! Keep in mind I am a kid, so please do not leave hateful or reprimanding words; understand that this is just the explanation I have found most believable. Hope that you have a good day and your question has been answered!
