If he stayed in the real world from that point on peter would have aged to be in his late 30's in the early 90's. The whole point of him being a business man is to show how far he had strayed from what he once was.

    I’d forgotten just how much existential sadness there was in this film. Life, death, love, loss and the inevitability of time. Was Neverland a place for these children to escape the realities of ‘growing up’, or was it a place where the feelings of loss and abandonment remain with them forever unchanging? I will always remember that tragic last line from Tinker Bell when she says goodbye to Peter. “Do you remember that place between sleep and awake, that place you still remember dreaming? That’s where I will always love you. That’s where I’ll be waiting…”

      I have to say, this telling of Pan/Hook does a great job of showing the potential love triangle Tinker Bell had for Peter (and to a smaller, but still strong extent Wendy's love of Peter). Both desiring and imagining what they can't have.
      Have to say this movie did such an incredible job on so many levels.

    This scene hits so different rewatching it as an adult. Setting aside how the idea of kissing someone while they're asleep has changed, poor Wendy, having to stand there and watch the one who got away---someone she clearly cared about so much growing up---make this huge change to be with someone else, that he hadn't been willing to make for her. And then for that someone else to be her own grandchild. That just sounds painful.

    • @stevejamieson8468

      Wendy came to terms with not being with Peter when she grew up, got married, and had her own children which includes Moira's mother Jane. The same Jane whom Peter would also have adventures with.
      When Wendy saw Moira sleeping it reminded her of herself at that age. When Peter saw Moira sleeping, it also reminded him of Wendy at that age. It was that moment that made Peter realize that he missed out on a life with Wendy. Peter realized he was ready to stay behind with Moira as looking at her elicited the same feelings he had for Wendy.
      I would not say it was completely painful for Wendy as it was bittersweet. She had wanted him decades earlier but was happy that Moira would be taken care of.

      @@ddthewolf A lot of people think Peter Pan is evil because he chopped Captain Hook’s hand off but Peter is clearly a tragic character that has his reasons to why he became the way he is. Peter Pan is literally a little kid that was abandoned(not on purpose) by his parents and was raised by a fairy, It makes sense why Peter dislikes adults because his parents replaced him with a new child when he tried to go back home. Peter is immature because he has no parents and wants to remain a child forever so he won’t lose his fun adventurous life style. As for Captain Hook, he is a grown man that tries to kill children which include Wendy, her brothers, and Peter’s children who did nothing to him. Also, I think Captain Hook had a bad childhood twisting him into the violent, manipulative, merciless pirate we know him today. I think the book Lost Boy is noncanon and is in its own universe. Just my opinion.

    This moment is so crushingly sad. Of course Peter thought they had forgotten about him. As a young child with no frame of reference or emotional maturity, he would have no real way of understanding how it was possible to find happiness if life even if you were still burdened by crushing sadness. Peter's parents probably never stopped thinking about him, loving him, grieving the loss of him. Sure, they managed to have another child, and find a way to be happy. But if he had just tapped on that window, I have no doubt he would have seen just how much they had still loved and missed him.

    Peter's parents had another child; a biological brother to Peter. So that means somewhere out there, probably still living in England, Peter has blood-related family.
    But what generation would be alive to him now? Nephews/nieces? Great nephews/nieces? Great-great nephews/nieces?
    More importantly, when was Peter born?
    So let's do some math: The movie Hook came out in 1991. Robin Williams was 40 years old in 1991, which makes sense of a successful adult to be around that age.
    Peter actually met Moira, his future wife and Wendy's granddaughter, for the first time when they were both in their pre-teens; Moira chronologically, Peter physically.
    Older Wendy even tells Peter that when he saw her 13 year old granddaughter asleep in the bed, he decided to leave Neverland for good. Now, Moira had a poster above her bed for the film "A Hard Day's Night" starring the Beetles which came out in 1964. (02:47) This means Peter Pan left Neverland in the year 1964 and Wendy "adopted" him in which she states he was 12 years old, nearly 13.
    Wendy was around the same age as Peter when she first had her adventures, 13 years old. She told her adventures to next door neighbor novelist J.M. Barrie and he wrote about it in 1904. If Wendy was 13 in 1904, by 1964 she was 73 years old.
    But this would mean that by 1991, Wendy would be 100 years old. This might be possible, though. Wendy did spend time in Neverland, and Peter said he always came back for her in the spring. He could've been doing this for another 7 years until Wendy turned 20 years old, as she even told him when Peter came for her for the last time that she was "ever so much older than 20". Spending all that time in Neverland could've halted her aging for her to reach 100 years old.
    So we know that Peter was about 12 years old from at least 1904. From here, it gets a little difficult to determine when Peter was first born.
    It seems in Neverland, you still grow until you hit a certain age and then stop growing up. Peter looked to be about 6 years old when he returned to his home to visit his mother and saw that they had another child. So at least 6 years passed when Peter's parents "lost" him and decided to have another baby. Peter said he started visiting other homes with open windows. He could have done this for another 6 years, when he would hit his Neverland age limit of 12, but then how many years after that did he keep visiting other homes? Or did he find Wendy's home exactly after those 6 years? There are a couple of clues. First, the fashion style of Peter's mom indicate the Victorian period of the late 1800s. Second, Peter's baby stroller looks like a balmoral pram which were first made in 1877.
    If Peter was chronologically age 12 by the year 1904, he would've been born in the year 1892, around the same year as Wendy.
    So we can assume that Peter Pan was born sometime between the years 1877 and 1892, making Peter 114 - 100 years old chronologically, but only looking physically 40 years old, since he started growing up from 12 in 1964.
    Now, his biological brother would have been born 6 years later, either in 1883 or 1898. Add 20 years for him to possibly gotten married and have children (we will be adding 20 years per generation, as this is the age people normally had children in those days) 1903 or 1918 around the same time the book for Peter Pan came out. Peter's brother would have been reading to his children about their unknown, long lost uncle.
    Add another 20 years for those children to grow up and have children of their own, we reach 1923 - 1938 where Peter has grand nephews and/or nieces.
    Another 20 years, 1943 -1958. Peter's great-grand nephews/nieces are born.
    Add 25 years for those kids to have kids, its now 1968 - 1983. Peter would have left Neverland for good and would have been raised in the same time period as his great-great-grand nephews and nieces.
    Peter's son Jack, was born around 1981, meaning that Peter's great-great-grand nephews/nieces are Jack's first cousins three times removed.
    By 1991, Peter Pan has blood-related family in the form of his great-great-grand nephews and nieces.

      When we grow up we get “serious” and stop having fun. No loud noises, no crowing, no playing, no imagination, don’t do this, stop doing that. I think suppressing the memories was a way of thinking that in order to grow up you have to ignore the magic. Hence the point of the movie Is that as an adult you have to tap into the magic and don’t forget who you are inside in order to connect with your children and keep the magic going

      I never read the original stories, but read someone explain the original story of the lost boys, are babies who die falling out of a pram (stroller). But instead of it being a sad thing, a fairy would come to rescue and take them to Neverland, a sort of limbo where they at least get to have a life, abeit in the classic fey mythology horrifying way.
      After reading that, remembered this scene and had to look it up. Definitely did not remember Peter claiming he ran away.

This movie was originally made for the Baby Boomers who were in their 40's at the time this movie was released. Now I am as old as my Baby Boomer parents were when this came out. Watching this at age 7 and again at age 40 really hits home. As a child I saw this movie as magic, excitement, and adventure. I did not truly pick up on the existential sadness and other themes this movie conveys. As a grown and married man, the themes of growing up, loss, parenthood, the inevitability of time are something I fully understand now. It's like I'm seeing this movie through the lens my parents initially did. Steven Spielberg is not proud of this film, I think he should be. It's an underrated masterpiece!
