Chaotic Neutral and Narm are Flame Bait, and therefore should not be allowed in this trope. Also rearranged and renamed some tropes.


* ChaoticNeutral: Peter Pan's original personality is best described as this. He does both good and bad things only because he's too innocent to know right from wrong. Most adaptations have him lean closer to ChaoticGood.



* AccidentalNightmareFuel: The more monstrous portrayal of the mermaids and the only one to date to actually show ''the stump of Hook's severed arm''.
* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: Well, the music ''was'' after all, composed by [[BatmanBegins James]] [[KingKong Newton]] [[TheDarkKnight Howard]]. So awesome that Disney stole it for use in their Disneyland commercials.

* UnfortunateImplications: The racism in J.M. Barrie's book is awkward enough today, but Disney arguably takes it UpToEleven. One of the most glaring examples are the juxtaposition of teepees and totem poles - these belonged to two completely different cultures, and are as awkward and unrealistic as the Eiffel tower in Moscow. The song ''What Makes the Red Man Red'' also implies that the "red man" used to be white (Eurocentricism/Anglocentrism).

** The Indians obviously aren't meant to represent any specific tribe or culture (in fact at the time the novel was written "Indian" was used to mean almost any low-tech native culture). The fact that so many stereotypes in the scene are played to negative and comical effect have quite enough UnfortunateImplications on their own.

* UnfortunateImplications: J.M. Barrie's depiction of the Native Americans. For a start, "Piccaninny" isn't an actual tribe, but an old slur to describe black children. And then there's that whole HonorBeforeReason thing.

** One reviewer, whose review of course I can no longer locate, speculated that a lot of the creepiness could be attributed to the fact that Hook has NoSenseOfPersonalSpace with either of them.
