The Lost Boys are characters from J. 1000. Barrie's 1904 play Peter Pan, or The Male child Who Wouldn't Abound Up and after adaptations and extensions to the story.^[i] They are boys "who fall out of their prams when the nurse is looking the other fashion and if they are not claimed in seven days, they are sent far away to the Neverland," where Peter Pan is their captain.^[2]

There are no "lost girls" considering, as Peter explains, girls are far too clever to fall out of their prams.

Original Lost Boys [edit]

Tootles is described as the near unfortunate and humblest of the band, because "the big things" and adventures happen while "he has stepped round the corner." This however has non soured just sweetened his nature. He is the one who shoots Wendy with a bow and arrow later on Tinker Bell tells them Wendy is a bird that Peter wants killed. When Tootles realises his mistake, he asks Peter to impale him. Wendy however survives, and Tootles is spared. Tootles is the first to defend Wendy when she wants to return to London. When Peter takes possession of "The Jolly Roger," Captain Hook'due south pirate send, Tootles takes Smee'southward place every bit boatswain. At the finish of the novel, he returns to London with Wendy and the other lost boys and somewhen grows up to become a judge.

Nibs is described equally happy and debonair, perchance the bravest Lost Male child. The only affair he remembers about his female parent is that she always wanted a cheque book and says he would love to requite her one—if he knew what it was. He grows up to work in an part.

Slightly is described as the about conceited of the boys, considering he believes that he remembers what life was like before he was "lost." Still, almost of his "memories" are based on misunderstandings: for example, he claims to know what his final proper noun is because his pinafore had the words "Slightly Soiled" written on the tag. Slightly is a poor make-believer, but he does seem to have a talent for music; he is described as cutting whistles and flutes from the branches of trees and dancing to tunes he creates himself. He grows upwards to marry into nobility and become a lord.

Curly is described past Barrie as "a pickle" (a person who gets into pickles) and has curly hair, hence his name. He isn't very smart but is very loveable. Curly is besides a footling timid but has a kind centre. Curly grows up to piece of work in an office.

The Twins — First and Second Twin know niggling almost themselves equally they are not allowed to because Peter Pan does not know what Twins are, and no Lost Boy is allowed to know anything that Peter doesn't. The Twins grow up to work in an office.

Adaptations in literature [edit]

Peter and the Starcatchers [edit]

In the Peter and the Starcatchers serial, an before group of Lost Boys include boys whom Peter knew from St. Norbert's orphanage, and who return to England with the heroine's family at the stop of the prequels. This description does not concord with the catechism backstory for the Lost Boys, who are not orphaned, only lost as babies.

• Prentiss — A rather new male child at St. Norbert'southward.
• James — James seems to exist closer to Peter than whatever other boy at St. Norbert's. He serves as the leader to the Lost Boys when Peter is not around, making him the second-in-control.
• Tubby Ted — As a running gag, Tubby Ted is always hungry.
• Thomas — A male child from St. Norbert'south.

In Peter and the Cloak-and-dagger of Rundoon, some other boys from St. Norbert'due south, who used to be slaves for Rex Zarboff, stop upward going to Neverland with Peter. They have the same names every bit J. M. Barrie's original Lost Boys. By the cease of the novel, Prentiss, James, Tubby Ted, and Thomas determine to go dorsum to London with Leonard Aster because they realize they would become men some day and cannot keep up with Peter forever. They leave for the real world and all grow up. Peter and Tinker Bong have in the new, more familiar Lost Boys. Yet, Peter is reunited with James, who has grown up, in the fourth novel, Peter and the Sword of Mercy.

Peter Pan in Reddish [edit]

In Peter Pan in Scarlet, Tootles becomes a girl because he only has daughters to borrow clothes from in order to go a child again and go back to Neverland. He finds his male parent, who is a guess, likewise.

Nibs is the only Lost Boy not to return to Neverland considering he can't bear the thought of leaving his children. Because of this he too is the only i who never meets his real parents, stays an orphan and has no run a risk to learn anything of his earlier life.

Slightly plays the clarinet and saves the day a couple of times with his music. Slightly grows up to marry a noblewoman and becomes a lord, though he has become a widower at the age of 30 and is the only one of the Lost Boys non to father any children. He gets tricked by the new enemy when he returns to Neverland and grows upwards, much to Peter's anger. Thanks to his love for music he finds his real mother and after returning to London he is the only Lost Boy who doesn't render to his adult historic period, but stays eighteen and stays with his mother.

Curly has get a dr. and is the owner of one of Nana's corking-great-puppies, which travels with him to Neverland. He is the one who gives up his youth and babyhood to salve Peter's life.

The Twins accept grown upward to piece of work in an role and their names are revealed to exist Marmaduke and Binky. They detect their female parent and take her back to their house in London.

Adaptations in picture [edit]

Disney'due south Peter Pan films [edit]

Peter Pan with the Lost Boys, depicted in the 1953 film.

In their appearances in the Disney franchise, the Lost Boys are oft named after their creature costumes: Play tricks/Slightly, Rabbit/Nibs, Bear/Cubby, Skunk/Tootles, and the Raccoons/Twins. In Disney's kickoff Peter Pan film (1953), the Boys play smaller roles and are less characterized, appearing more than as a grouping than individually. In Return to Neverland, they are named equally their original counterparts (with the exception of Cubby). Tootles is silent in both films, communicating with a pad and pencil in the latter motion-picture show.

In Barrie's original works, the Lost Boys exit Neverland and grow upward, while in the Disney films they are merely tempted to, but modify their minds and choose to remain with Peter Pan. In Render to Neverland, which takes place many years later, they are still with Peter, and accept remained children.

In the upcoming live-activeness remake Peter Pan & Wendy, the Lost Boys are depicted equally being much more diverse by as well featuring girls, disabled children, and people of colour. Slightly volition be portrayed as having Down syndrome, Nibs is biracial, the Twins are African American girls, Cubby (at present named Curly like in the original novel) is a white daughter and Tootles is an African American boy. Additionally, 2 new Lost Boys were invented for the film: a Chinese American girl named Baboon and a Latino boy named Bellweather.^[3]

Spielberg'southward Hook [edit]

In Spielberg's sequel Hook (1991), there are at to the lowest degree two dozen Lost Boys of various ethnicity living in Neverland, whose clothes suggest that they left various civilisations at different times over the past century. They live in a giant tree on a alpine rocky outcropping just offshore of the island. Twins are seen wearing Boy Scout uniforms. The Lost Boys named in the moving picture are:

• Rufio (Dante Basco),
• Thud Butt (Raushan Hammond),
• Pockets (Isaiah Robinson),
• Ace (Jasen Fisher),
• Don't Ask (James Madio),
• Too Modest (Thomas Tulak),
• Latchboy (Alex Zuckerman), and
• No Nap (Ahmad Stoner).

The boys are led by Rufio, who was hand-called past Peter as leader when he left Neverland to grow up as "Peter Banning." Initially, Rufio refuses to believe that Peter Banning is their former leader, as practise most of the boys. Withal, Tinker Bell and the glimpse of Peter Pan that Pockets sees in Banning's face up convince them and they train him for a showdown with Helm Hook. The Lost Boys gradually come to believe in Peter, a turning indicate being when he manages to shell Rufio in a heated name-calling match. When Peter finally relearns how to fly, Rufio finally recognizes Peter is indeed Peter Pan and gives Peter the Pan sword equally a sign of apology and respect. The Lost Boys follow Peter into a climactic battle with Captain Claw and the pirates, armed with improvised childlike weapons. Rufio valiantly takes on Hook while Peter rescues his daughter, Maggie. Claw fatally stabs Rufio, who dies in Peter'south arms and declares he regarded Peter as a father. Peter'south son Jack, witnessing Rufio'southward death at the hands of Hook, turns away from the life of a pirate and reconciles with his father. Peter and Hook engage in a duel which culminates in Hook patently beingness eaten live by the momentarily resurrected crocodile that had eaten Hook'southward paw long ago. Before leaving Neverland, Peter selects Thud Butt to be their new leader, telling him "I desire you to take care of everyone who is smaller than yous," to which Thud Butt agrees.

Tootles appears every bit an former human. He was ane of the many "orphans" whom Granny Wendy is said to have found homes for over the decades. He now lives with Wendy because she could not bear to transport him to a retirement home. Even so, he is the first to recognise that Hook has arrived in London and witnesses him abduct the children. He also knows that Peter Banning is Peter Pan and remembers him simply as much as Granny Wendy. Later Peter and his family arrive at Wendy's house, Peter sees him crawling on the floor, and he explains "I've lost my marbles," which Peter Banning readily agrees with. Later in Neverland, Thud Butt gives Peter a small pocketbook containing Tootles' marbles, revealing that they were his happy thoughts and he lost them literally rather than metaphorically. Once Peter and his children return home, Peter gives Tootles his marbles and rejoices. With the aid of some fairy grit that spills out of the bag, he flies out of the window to return to Neverland.
