Peter Pan

Peter Pan is the fearless, adventurous boy who never grows up and leads the Lost Boys. He invites Wendy into Neverland, bestowing a sense of endless possibility while keeping a wary distance from adult responsibility. His charm and quick wit help him navigate dangers, from Tinker Bell’s mischief to Captain Hook’s schemes.

Mr. Darling is the stern, practical head of the household who prizes order and propriety. He initially dismisses Nana’s cries and shadows as mere trouble, showing a bias toward routine. Beneath a crusty exterior, he cares for his children and ultimately navigates the chaos of their adventures.

Mrs. Darling worries for her children and questions troubling events like Nana’s treatment. She represents maternal care and concern, balancing affection with the fear that stories of adventures may pull her children away. Her voice anchors the family amid the chaos of Neverland.

Natalja Proshunina’s Mrs. Darling also embodies the maternal instinct and the push-pull between safety and curiosity. She shares a protective stance over Wendy and the brothers, while confronting the extraordinary events unfolding around them. Her character reinforces the domestic reality behind the fantasy.

Wendy embodies the role of caretaker and moral center for the Lost Boys. Her mothering instincts are tested as she navigates the line between loving supervision and surrendering to adventure. She becomes the Lost Boys’ mother in Neverland before eventually accepting the pull of home.

Captain Hook is the pirate captain driven by fear of the ticking crocodile and by a desire to outwit Peter Pan. He is sly and theatrical, often cowardly in the face of true danger, and relies on plots and intimidation to trap Wendy and the Lost Boys. His rivalry with Peter Pan defines much of the film’s conflict.
