Things Only Adults Notice In 'Peter Pan'

Disney's Peter Pan has been loved by families for generations. Unfortunately, this animated classic hasn't aged entirely well over the years. Much of this goes over kids' heads, but older viewers might be surprised by some scenes. For good or bad, here are things that only adults notice in Peter Pan.

As a child, it feels perfectly innocent to fantasize about some magical being coming to your window to take you away on adventures in faraway lands. As an adult, however, the thought of strange boys visiting underage daughters via bedroom windows is much less charming.

When Wendy claims Peter Pan has been to the nursery before and must be surely coming again because she'd found his shadow, her mother seems a bit perplexed. Her father, on the other hand, brushes it off as childish fiddle-faddle and mocks his wife's concern.

However, had the same conversation been with more literal or protective guardians, Peter likely would've found a father waiting with his shotgun in that nursery instead of a pining, unattended Wendy. At the very least, it would've been wise to leave the family dog, Nana, in the house with the kids, rather than tied up outside.

On top of that, the grown mind can't help but question Mr. and Mrs. Darling's decision to leave their young children home alone for hours without any sort of adult supervision. If you're not going to have your dog protect your children while you're out partying, at least find a human to babysit.
