People tend to miss the point of Peter pan because of Disney subversion.
It is obviously ment to be about a group of man children lead by king manchild Peter pan who lose themselves in an escapism fantasy because they refuse to move on.
Move on from what? Either a traumatic event, in peters case, or simpily not wishing to move on from childhood and finally grow up, in most of the lost boys cases.
These consoomer plebeians are being spoon fed escapism fantasy by the aristocrats so that the consoomer plebians continue to never notice anything about the world around them.
So that the aristocracy can remain in control, and the spiritual umbilical cord never cut.
In lotr, Tom Bombadil and smaug are are spiritual umbilical cords that must be severed if the characters are to move forward.
