Funny / Return to Never Land

Slapstick knows no gender in Neverland.

• The Lost Boys get some really funny moments in this movie:
  • Cubby's indignant "Let's play the 'No more hitting Cubby on the head' game!" when the Lost Boys are arguing about which game to play. Nibs immediately bonks him on the head again.
  • Slightly, Nibs and the Twins' reaction when Peter comments that Jane is acting like a grown-up: Slightly pretends to stick a finger down his throat, the Twins back off, huddle together and stick out a wooden sword to defend themselves, and Nibs makes a cross out of his index fingers to ward off the evil word!
  • When Peter tosses Jane off a huge rock to try and make her fly, the Lost Boys run frantically around on the ground below, trying to catch her, all shouting "I got her! I got her!" They spectacularly fail to catch her, forming an outward-facing circle of which she falls through the center, making a Jane-shaped hole in the ground.
  Cubby: [guiltily] I thought you said you got her...
  • While the scene where Slightly plays "doctor" to Tinker Bell is not played for laughs, there is a funny detail in that the thermometer he uses is simply marked "GOOD — OK — VERY BAD," and Slightly's diagnosis after checking the thermometer is that it "looks kinda bad."
    • Causing Cubby to freak out and start bawling:
  Cubby: Kinda bad?! Kinda?! Oh, it's hopeless! Poor little Tinker Bell!
  Peter: HEY! Put a cork in it!
  [Nibs stuffs his club into Cubby's mouth to shut him up]
  • Tootles ignoring every possible physical law and lifting up all the water in a small puddle — in which a fish is lounging as if in a hot-tub — to see if Jane is hiding under the water. Made even better by the stunned look on the face of the fish.
    • Then again, the Hangman's Tree does have an entire pond suspended on the ceiling...
  • When Peter tells the captured boys "Be brave, lads! Don't let them see you cry!", they immediately slink behind the mast they're tied to so the pirates won't see them... and then begin bawling loudly.
• Captain Hook showing Jane a picture of his "mother" — who looks like Hook in drag, complete with pencil-mustache and two hooks.
• Jane sailing off, to the triumphant theme of "Rule Britannia"... only for the song to lose in strength as the raft sinks, finishing off with a strong note when Jane herself falls in.
• Peter just falling out of the sky following Jane claiming he was "full of hot air". It's almost as funny how quickly he recovers and just casually floats in a lying-on-the-stomach pose.
  • In fact, their whole banter during this scene, with Peter bragging so much that "I've Gotta Crow" wouldn't have been too out of place in there.
• At the beginning when Hook orders Smee to summon the octopus (or "beast" as he calls it). Smee, carrying a bucket of dead fish, starts singing a short song that praises Hook, who smiles contently. ...But the last lyric insults him.
  Smee: Yo, ho, ho another plan
  To try to capture Peter Pan
  Captain Hook's a brilliant man
  Who else can think of the perfect crime
  And bumble and fumble it every time
  Hook: SMEE!
  [Smee trips and tosses the entire bucket into the water]
• "Mr. Smee? Be a good fellow and fix the plank...SO I CAN MAKE YOU WALK IT!!!!"
• When Hook orders his reluctant pirates to search the shore for Peter Pan.
  Hook: Step softly, you worthless dogs! Set your sights for Peter Pan!
  Smee: Oh, goodness. Haven't we searched the island a thousand times before?
  Hook: [anger steadily rising] I beg your pardon, MR. SMEE?!
  Smee: Uh um, I said that, uh, searching for Pan is, um, uh...fun galore! [nervously laughs]
  Hook: [facepalms] There'll be no rest until we have that boy in irons!
• In order to leave Never Land it is necessary for Jane to fly, there's just one problem: A defiant Tinker Bell flat out refuses to help Jane. How does Peter Pan solve this dilemma? He states that since Jane can't fly she would have to stay. Cue Jane being buried in fairy dust.
  • Due to the excessive amount of fairy dust, Jane ends up sneezing. Cue Tink getting blown away by the sneeze, bouncing like a pinball off numerous things, including every one of the Lost Boys, before landing in a knothole and stumbling out, fuming mad with a mushroom on her head while the Lost Boys all laugh.
• Hook and Smee are spying on Jane getting failed flying lessons from Peter. She doesn't have the belief of imagination, and therefore, Tink's pixie dust doesn't work on her; Hook decides to take advantage of this.
  Hook: So, the girl can't fly, yet she wants to go home. Smee, do you know what this means?
  Smee: Six more weeks of winter?
  Hook: NO, you imbecile! [chuckles] We'll get me treasure...and the boy.
• Early on, when Peter dives into the ocean to rescue the sack Jane is in (under the impression that she's Wendy), Hook and Smee look down and are met with a cloud of ink smoke, followed by Peter's hat bobbing in the water. Hook begans to prematurely gloat over his victory, ordering his crew to cheer for him—but it's soon cut short by Peter's signature cockerel cry as he proudly emerges from the water with the sack in his arms, unscathed.
  • After that first confrontation with Hook, Peter settles the sack down on a rock and opens it—only to be quickly met with a sucker punch from Jane that nearly knocks his hat off his head. It's such a hard hit that he's still rubbing his face when he realizes she isn't Wendy.
• Peter finds Jane setting up her makeshift raft, and concludes she must be leaving. Tinker Bell's first reaction? To just wave goodbye with the happiest grin on her face.
