Peter Pan

Continuity mistake: After Wendy is shot by Tootle's arrow, while she lies on the ground the boys are gathered around her and Peter takes his "kiss" from under the neck of her gown. The "kiss" is looped onto the chain around Wendy's neck, but in the next shot Peter holds it without the chain. He could not have removed it from the chain, which is still around her neck, so quickly. (00:35:25)

Peter Pan mistake picture

Continuity mistake: When Wendy awakens, she opens the door to find the Lost Boys standing there looking 'lovable'. The shots from the interior shows Wendy's hand on the door with her arm outstretched while she remains inside. Yet in the exterior shots she is standing outside the door frame. (00:37:15)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: The inside of the front door of Wendy's house changes completely in different shots. 1. The interior shot after Wendy wakes up. 2. The exterior shot of Wendy standing in the doorway with the Lost Boys. 3. When Wendy wakes up aboard the Jolly Roger and opens the door. 4. When Wendy leaves the Jolly Roger and Hook waves goodbye. (00:37:15 - 01:00:00)

Super Grover

Other mistake: When asking Wendy to be their mother, one of the twins asks, "Do you tell stories?" and Curly visibly mouths the word, "Stories," along with the twin, then goes on to say his own line, "Then you're perfect." (00:37:40)

Other mistake: After the lost boys put Wendy into the doorway of the treehouse for the first time, right after the one closing the door says, "So looking forward to being your son!": the lost boy right behind him turns, and pulls back his bowstring as if aiming, but has neglected to knock an arrow on the string. Then, as if that wasn't bad enough, he turns toward the camera and makes a funny face. (00:38:15)

Revealing mistake: When Peter leaves his throne and says the line that begins "Discipline..." the lost boy who tumbles in on the left is wearing white and black sneakers. (00:38:30)

Continuity mistake: As Wendy approaches the Lost Boys to give them their medicine, in the close-up they surround Peter begging to be killed. In the next wide shot Tootles pulls one of the twins close and puts his arm around him, though in the next shot they are positioned as they were in the first close-up. Wendy's necklace changes within these shots as well. (00:39:15)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: John and Michael dash out of the cave with the crocodile and run. After John yells, "Happy thoughts!" the exact same shot is seen twice as they run together. Then when John and Michael step into the traps, each are snared only on their right leg. However, in the next shot both of their legs are trapped as they hang upside down. (00:40:20)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When Princess Tiger Lily finds the two boys hanging upside-down in a snare, she is looking forward at them, and then falls backward laughing and rolls down an embankment. When the two boys start yelling at Hook, they all look straight up to see them, though they should be a good ten feet from that spot. One may argue she went back to that spot when trying to retrieve her knife before the pirates caught her, but even then, she was holding the knife when she fell, and would still be far from the right mark. (00:40:45 - 00:41:45)

Continuity mistake: Tiger Lily's painted blue hand on her face changes its shape throughout the shots in the forest and Black Castle. For example, when she is in the boat entering the gate as she stares wide eyed at the skeletons, the blue thumb is thicker and parallel to her face, whereas in the forest the blue thumb is thin, long and points towards to the side of her face. (00:41:00 - 00:43:00)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: When the mermaids swim toward Peter and Wendy, in the wide shot as three of them begin to surface, floral plants float between two of the mermaids. However in the close-up as the mermaids surface, they are next to one another with no plants between them. (00:42:20)

Super Grover

Revealing mistake: When Peter scares away the mermaids, one of them lifts her hands up and hisses at him. As she does the silvery make up is visibly smudged on the palms of her hands and at her right armpit. (00:42:35)

Super Grover

Revealing mistake: Peter's height changes drastically during the course of the film and is most noticeable during scenes with Wendy. For example, when Peter says, "Leave Hook to me," at the Black Castle they are face to face and Peter is just a bit taller than Wendy. Then, just a few hours later, after Peter and Wendy dance they talk about feelings and Peter is now considerably taller than Wendy. Jeremy Sumpter had quite a growth spurt during production. (00:44:10 - 00:56:20)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: At the Black Castle, Princess Tiger Lily's make-up completely rubs off when she is in the water but when she kisses John, she has a dark area around her eyes. (00:45:55 - 00:48:50)

Continuity mistake: At the Black Castle, Hook reappears and calls out, "Mr. Smee?" In this shot there is an oar handle at the bow of the boat. In the next shot facing Hook, the oar is gone. (00:46:05)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: Smee and another pirate are at the Black castle and the pirate wears a buckled strap across his chest. The position of this strap changes in different shots. When Hook shoots him, the huge bullet hole does not appear in the wide shot, only the close-up. (00:46:10)

Super Grover

Revealing mistake: At the Black Castle, just after Wendy shouts, "Who be you to call me girlie?" there is a shot of Peter flying between Hook's legs causing Hook to somersault backwards. However Hook begins to lift off the ground before Peter even reaches him. (00:48:35)

Super Grover

Continuity mistake: At the Black Castle, John, Michael and Tiger Lily are in the water, yet when they try to open the gate their clothing, especially John and Michael's gowns, are very obviously not as wet or as clingy as they should be. (00:48:40)

Super Grover

Revealing mistake: When Michael whacks the pirate in his groin, he bends over wincing in pain with his mouth open, in the next shot, though the pirate is bent over, his facial expression is completely different and is not in any discomfort. He does however stand at the ready for John's blow, which actually never even touches him, and the pirate's head starts to fly back after John's hands pass him. (00:48:45)

Super Grover

Hook: If I were you I'd give up!
Peter: If you were me... I'd be ugly!

Trivia: The same actor did the voices for Captain Hook and Mr. Darling in the original Disney movie. This was also the same in plays, as Mr. Darling and Hook were always played by the same actor. This movie follows along with that because Jason Isaacs played both Mr. Darling and Captain Hook.
