In The Book and Disney Film
The Lost Boys play smaller roles and are less characterized in the Disney movie, appearing more as a group than individually. In some related Disney material, they are named with the inspired animal costumes: Foxy/Slightly, Rabbit/Nibs, Skunk/Tootles, Cubby/Curly and the Raccoons/Twins, while in Return to Neverland, they are again named as their book counterparts (with the exception of Cubby/Curly). Tootles is the only Lost Boy not to speak in either of the films, in Return to Neverland he communicates with a pad and pencil. Cubby/Curly is voiced by Robert Ellis, Slightly is voiced by Stuffy Singer, Nibs is voiced by Jeffery Silver, and the Twins are voiced by Jonny McGovern. Their singing voices were provided by Tony Butala.
A big difference between the book and the movies is that, in the book, the Lost Boys leave Neverland and grow up, but in the Disney movies, they are merely tempted to do so, and change their minds eventually, choosing to remain with Peter Pan. In Return to Neverland, which takes place many years later, they are still with Peter, and have remained children.

Famous quotes containing the words book and/or film:
“All is changed. All looks strange to me and gives me a feeling which I would rather get away from, although I know it to be the carrying out of natural laws. And I am not complaining. I am doing the same as many old people have done, I suppose, who have led an active life and suddenly find themselves living without a purpose. Oh, my heart is so full. I could write a big book on the subject of going out of this world gracefully.”
—Maria D. Brown (1827–1927)
“Film is more than the twentieth-century art. It’s another part of the twentieth-century mind. It’s the world seen from inside. We’ve come to a certain point in the history of film. If a thing can be filmed, the film is implied in the thing itself. This is where we are. The twentieth century is on film.... You have to ask yourself if there’s anything about us more important than the fact that we’re constantly on film, constantly watching ourselves.”
—Don Delillo (b. 1926)
