* CrosscastRole: In just about any theatrical or film version, Peter is played by a woman. On film, the only exceptions are the [[WesternAnimation/PeterPan Disney version]], which has Peter voiced by Bobby Driscoll; [[Film/PeterPan the 2003 version]] with Jeremy Sumpter; and the 2015 reimagining with Zak Sutcliffe. (When counting other reimaginings of the story, ''Film/{{Hook}}'' with Creator/RobinWilliams as an adult Peter, and the 2020 reimagining ''Wendy'' with Yashua Mack also are exceptions.) Meanwhile, the only male to have played Peter Pan on Broadway is Jack Noseworthy, who was an understudy in ''Jerome Robbins' Broadway'', a musical revue of highlights of choreographer Jerome Robbins' work, which included the Mary Martin Broadway version.

* ''Literature/TheChildThief'' (2009). Writer/Artist Brom's novel.

** In the 2020 theatrical reimagining ''Wendy'', Antigua native Yashua Mack (who became the first Black actor and first person of color to play Peter Pan in a theatrical adaptation of the story as a result) was cast in the role of Peter.

** ''Film/ComeAway'' depicts Peter presumably as biracial with a black father and white mother, and depicts a Black Captain Hook.[[note]]Being a combined adaptation of the unrelated ''Peter Pan'' and ''Literature/AliceInWonderland'', Alice (who here is depicted as Peter’s sister) and The Mad Hatter also get the same treatment.[[/note]]

* ''Film/LostGirls'' (2021). Like her grandmother and her mother Jane before her, Wendy must escape Pan's hold on her and the promise he wants her to keep.

* LostInImitation: Tons. In many adaptations and spinoffs, nobody ages while on Neverland. Yet in the novel it's clear that people ''do'' age and grow to some degree - the Lost Boys arrive as infants, after all, and Peter "thins them out" (which knowing Peter, is probably lethal) if they seem to be growing up. ''Peter Pan in Scarlet'' attempts to merge these two extremes by claiming that you ''can'' stop aging in Neverland, but only by utterly refusing to even entertain the idea, like Peter does. The moment one of the Lost Boys begin contemplating what he might be when he grows up, he ''will'' start growing up. For more examples, see the page on Disney's ''Peter Pan''.

* BittersweetEnding: [[spoiler:Most versions tell of Wendy, her brothers, and the Lost Boys [[GrowingUpSucks all growing up]], with varying degrees of happiness or regret. Wendy herself in time - although it's hinted she hoped Peter would have come for her - get married and has a daughter. Peter himself [[WhoWantsToLiveForever stuck forever as a boy]] revisits Wendy every year - mostly - as promised but at some point she becomes too old to play with him. Tinker Bell, being a fairy, had passed years before. However, Wendy's daughter Jane soon becomes Peter's companion playing out the same role as her mother, and it's implied that future generations of girls through Wendy's bloodline will do the same.]]

* ''''Film/LostGirls'' (2021). Like her grandmother and her mother Jane before her, Wendy must escape Pan's hold on her and the promise he wants her to keep.

* ''Film/PeterPanandWendy''. A live-action remake of 1953 Disney animated movie, with Creator/JudeLaw as Captain Hook.

* ''Film/ComeAway''. An origin story/prequel that combines the story with ''Literature/AliceInWonderland''.

* ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve: TropeNamer comes from a famous scene. A fairy is mortally wounded any time a child says "I don't believe in fairies;" in the scene in question, Peter uses the effect in reverse to save the fairy Tinker Bell's life by calling on children everywhere to indicate that they do believe in fairies. (In the original stage version - which predates the novel and the various film and television adaptations - this was an audience participation bit...and, in case you're wondering, if the audience is a bunch of heartless bastards who won't clap, the orchestra is instructed to begin the applause.)
