Question

why the peter pan never land?

Answer 1

Neverland (also spelled Never Land and also known as Never Never Land) is a fictional world featured in the works of J. M. Barrieand those based on them. It is the dwelling place of Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, the Lost Boys, and others. People in Neverland may cease to age, and its best known resident famously refused to grow up, so it is often used as a metaphor for eternal childhood (and childishness), immortality, and escapism. Neverland has been featured prominently in subsequent works, either adapting Barrie's works or expanding upon them. These Neverlands sometimes vary in nature from the original, which seems fitting as Barrie originally described them as

Name

The name was possibly inspired by the contemporary term for outback Australia: the Never Never. Barrie wrote that "the Neverlands" are not all alike, and even he couldn't seem to make up his mind what the proper name of the place was. In the earliest drafts of the play and the program for the original 1904 production, the island was called "Never Never Never Land"; the characters in the play itself referred to it as "the Never Never Land". This version of the name caught on, and it is widely known that way. In his 1911 novelization Peter and Wendy, Barrie referred to "the Neverland", and its many variations were "the Neverlands". In the 1928 published version of the script, it was written as "the Never Land", and Disney appears to have standardized on "Never Land".

The novel explains that the Neverlands are found in the minds of children, and that although each is "always more or less an island", and they have a family resemblance, they are not the same from one child to the next. For example, John Darling's "had a lagoon with flamingos flying over it" while his little brother Michael's "had a flamingo with lagoons flying over it". The novel further explains that the Neverlands are compact enough that adventures are never far between. It says that a map of a child's mind would resemble a map of Neverland, with no boundaries at all.

According to the authorized 2006 sequel Peter Pan in Scarlet, the island was pushed up from the ground by imagination. The unauthorized 2004 prequel Peter and the Starcatchers presents it as a normal island, named by Peter after the Never Land, the sailing vessel on which he was sent away from civilization.

In Barrie's original tale, Peter led Wendy and her brothers to Neverland by flying "second to the right, and then straight on till morning." for many days, though it is stated in the novel that Peter made up these directions on the spot to impress Wendy, and that they found the island only because it was out looking for them. In the 1953 Disney film, Peter Pan, the word "star" is added to the directions Peter speaks: "second star to the right, and straight on till morning." That phrase is widely quoted, and was used again in the 1991 movie Hook. Inexplicably, the 1988 direct-to-video adaptation changes it to "first on the left and straight on till morning". In Peter Pan in Scarlet, the children get to the Neverland world by flying on a road called the High Way, and the island is located in a sea known as the Sea of One Thousand Islands.

The passage of time in Neverland is ambiguous. The novel Peter Pan mentions that there are many more suns and moons there than in our world, making time difficult to track. Although widely thought of as a place where children don't grow up, Barrie wrote that Lost Boys eventually grew up and have to leave, and fairies there lived typically short lifespans. According to Peter Pan in Scarlet, time froze to the children as soon as they got into Neverland.
