This movie contains several subtle references to the Sir J.M. Barrie play and book. These include: An elderly Tootles is one of the characters in this movie, and is referred to as Wendy's "first orphan". Tootles was one of the original Lost Boys. In the book, play, and the movie, Wendy greets Peter by calling him "Boy". Granny Wendy recites a prayer-like speech as she leaves Maggie and Jack in the nursery, asking the night lights to guard the sleeping babes. This is a direct quotation from the book. In the book, Mrs. Darling says, "Night lights are the eyes a mother leaves behind her to guard her children." (Chapter 2: The Shadow) When Tinkerbell is first trying to get Peter to remember her, she says, "I drank poison for you!" This is a direct reference to the events in Chapter 13: Do You Believe in Fairies. The invisible dinner sequence is inspired by the lines in the book: "The difference between (Peter) and the other boys at such a time was that they knew it was make-believe, while to him, make-believe and true were exactly the same thing. This sometimes troubled them, as when they had to make-believe that they had had their dinners." from Chapter 6: The Little House After human-sized Tinkerbell kisses Peter, and he remembers he has to save his children, Tink says to him, "You silly ass, Go!" In the book, Tinkerbell repeatedly calls Peter a "silly ass". When the battle begins, Hook says "Peter Pan, prepare to meet thy doom" to which Peter replies, "dark and sinister man, have at thee." This is a classic exchange between the two. Toward the end of the movie, Tootles says "I've missed the adventure again, haven't I, Peter?" This is in reference to the book, as it is mentioned that the reason Tootles was so humble was because, by some misfortune, he missed most of the adventures in which the Lost Boys participated.
