[[WMG: The movie is a sequal to the movie Film/TheIncredibleMrLimpet.]]

** [[FridgeHorror I now realize that the potion may actually have a time limit, as Mac Krill may have had a few "test subjects"...]]

Some idiots probably didn't want a non-Disney (or Fox, Creator/DreamWorks, WB, whatever) and non-Japanese animated film to have much success in the States. Since CG-animation was popular at the time, they made a CG cover and made it look deliberately terrible to keep people from buying it.

* To an extent, Fly's affinity for the ocean, and how it results in unfortunate consequences for him, could be seen as parallel to how Wendy's happy thought was specifically focused on the Neverland mermaids, only for them to harass her and drive her to anger. There's also a bit of a role reversal in this parallel: whereas Wendy is nearly drowned by a bunch of sea-dwellers, Fly is eventually responsible for causing Joe, a sea-dweller, to become human and actually drown.

** Another character who is notably a redhead? Professor [=MacKrill=], whose experiments are the catalyst for the kids' adventure, just as Peter coming to the Darling house to get his shadow back turns out to be the catalyst for the Darling children to meet him up close and follow him to Neverland.

* As for why none of them have British accents: it's exceedingly rare for a particular family to live in the exact same house forever, and John is nowhere to be found in ''Return to Neverland'', implying he had long since moved out of the old Darling family house by the time she had Danny. So it makes sense that both Wendy's and John's children would have moved out too, resulting in the British accents being phased out over time.

* For starters, the three of them clearly have some parallels with the original three Darling children: Fly is the older sibling and de-facto main character like Wendy, Chuck is logically-minded like John, and Stella is the sweet, innocent younger sibling in pink like Michael.
* Fly, Stella, and their father Bill all have the same light brown/dirty blonde hair that Wendy, her mother Mary, and [[WesternAnimation/ReturnToNeverLand her children Jane and Danny]] are depicted with, while Chuck and Anna have black hair and fuller figures reminiscent of George Darling's. Chuck also wears big round glasses like John did, and acts as the voice of reason within the trio; [[WhatCouldHaveBeen in early drafts, John was left out of the trip to Neverland due to being too serious and wanting to be like his father]].

* To an extent, Fly's affinity for the ocean, and how it results in unfortunate consequences for him, could be seen as parallel to how Wendy's happy thought was specifically focused on the Neverland mermaids, only for them to attempt to drown her, subsequently driving her to nearly harm them. There's also a bit of a role reversal in this parallel: whereas Wendy is nearly drowned by a bunch of sea-dwellers, Fly is eventually responsible for causing Joe, a sea-dweller, to become human and drown.

* In addition to being {{Meaningful Name}}s, Fly and Stella's names could be allusions to the Peter Pan mythos: Fly as in ''flying'' to Neverland, and Stella as in the Second ''Star'' to the Right. After the events of ''Return to Neverland'', it makes sense that Jane would pass down the stories of Peter Pan to her grandkids and great-grandkids, and regardless of whether Peter is directly involved in the family tree or not, his influence can also be seen in Fly's mischievous and impulsive personality. (See also: the model pirate ship that can be spotted in Fly's bedroom during his first scene.)

** Also a redhead? Professor [=MacKrill=], whose experiments are the catalyst for the kids' adventure, just as Peter coming to the Darling house to get his shadow back turns out to be the catalyst for the Darling children to meet him up close and follow him to Neverland.

* Getting on SharedFamilyQuirks territory: Disney's take on Peter Pan is a FieryRedhead, and Wendy is clearly shown to have feelings for him (Jane not so much, but she does grow to appreciate him, and there is some ShipTease between her and Peter). Lisa, Bill's wife and Fly and Stella's mom, is also a redhead -- and as a bonus, she also happens to share her name with the Darling family maid from the original play/novel (albeit spelled differently).

* The timeline matches up; the film is clearly meant to take place in the present day of its production/release (so late 1990s to early 2000s). It wouldn't be too farfetched for Jane to have had Bill during either the late 1950s or early 1960s, if not a little later.
