Peter Pan (2003)

"All children grow up... except one."

Those words from the novelization of Barrie's play (though differently ordered) begin the 2003 film adaptation of Peter Pan.

Peter Pan returns several times to his birthplace, London, before returning to Neverland. Eventually he will bring several children, who become known as the Lost Boys, back to Neverland with him. These boys consider Peter a close friend and regard him as a foster father.

During one of his trips, Peter loses his shadow in Wendy's house, and when he comes back to retrieve it he brings Tinkerbell, a fairy, with him. What Peter doesn't realize is that he has inadvertently sparked a love triangle involving himself, Wendy, and Tinkerbell: both girls hold childish crushes on Peter, but he remains completely oblivious.

This romantic aspect of the story was adapted from the original play. J. M. Barrie may have intended the same in the original novel, though the tone here is more mature.
