Putting the first entry in the order of things that happened int he film proper.


* Michael, the baby in the pink footie pajamas, sticks a cannonball in his teddy bear, lugs it all the way up the ship's mast, and uses it to knock out an oncoming, sword-wielding pirate. This earns him the moniker "Bear Killer" among the Lost Boys.

** The duel with Hook on his ship at the end of the movie is even better.

'''Peter Pan:''' ''You're'' next, Hook! This time you've gone too far!

* The confrontation with Hook that follows after Peter rescues Wendy really sets the stage for the climax of the film.

* Peter and Hook both get one in their final duel. Hook, for his part, successfully dares Peter to fight him without using his powers as a handicap, and [[NotSoHarmlessVillain quickly proves just how dangerous he is]] now that they're on equal footing. Peter, meanwhile, not only [[NobodyCallsMeChicken agrees to the challenge,]] but gets points for keeping to his word even when Hook has him on the ropes:
-->'''Hook:''' (Readying his sword for the killing blow) Now, insolent little youth...[[PrepareToDie Prepare to DIE!]]
-->'''Wendy:''' (Desperate) Fly, Peter! ''Fly!''
-->'''Peter Pan:''' (Firmly) No. IGaveMyWord.
** And then Peter uses his surroundings to quickly turn the tables on Hook. All without taking flight ''once!''

* The 2014 version is an earnest attempt to defy Native American stereotypes, and characterizes Tiger Lily with as much dignity as the source material permits. While "Ugg-a-Wug" portays Tiger Lily as being totally dependent upon Peter Pan, "True Blood Brothers" establishes that Peter and the Lost Boys have come to BashBrothers terms with Tiger Lily and her tribe. Peter and Tiger Lily are almost equals, except that Peter has declared himself the captain ofthe island of Neverland.

* The entirety of the song "I'll Try". First it rips your heart out as a tender song about the loss of childhood the main character is facing, having grown up in World War Two. Then it becomes a musical crowning moment of awesome as Tinkerbell comes alive and it's clear that Jane has learned how to believe in something.
