While Jonathan, who plays Peter for most of the show, is a bit of a {{Jerkass}}, the character has pretty much lost all the darker aspects he had in the original stage play, and is presented as friendly, pleasant and happy-go-lucky. This character change is perhaps best demonstrated when Wendy asks Peter if he'll also teach John and Michael to fly -- while he says an indifferent "if you like" in the original play, here he responds with a confident "of course!".
