Lost Boys (Peter Pan) - List of Lost Boys

List of Lost Boys

  • Tootles – Tootles appears in almost all Peter Pan related material. He is described as the most humble of the Lost Boys because of his terrible luck with adventures: as soon as Tootles goes away to complete a chore or some such, bloody battles and thrilling adventures take place. Because of this, he has become accepting of his lot in life, and he is much sweeter for it. He is the one who shoots Wendy Darling with a bow and arrow after Tinker Bell tells them Wendy is a bird, and convinces them that killing her would bring great favor with Peter, so when the mistake is discovered, he tells Peter to kill him. However, since Wendy survives, Tootles is spared. Though he is clumsy and silly, Tootles is the first to defend Wendy when she wants to return to London. When Peter takes possession of "The Jolly Roger", Captain Hook's pirate ship, Tootles takes Smee's place as boatswain. At the end of the novel, he returns to London with Wendy and the other lost boys and eventually grows up to become a judge. In "Peter Pan in Scarlet", he turns into a girl because he only has daughters to borrow clothes from, and spends most of the book playing princess and dreaming about marrying Peter Pan. His character is largely minimized in the animated Disney version, as he has no lines of dialogue; he wears a skunk suit in this film. However, in this version, he is often shown to have an occasional moment of brilliance; thus, making him the smartest of the Lost Boys. In Peter Pan and the Pirates, Tootles (voiced by Chris M. Allport) wears a panda hat and his left eye is black to complement this. Since he is presumably the same age and size as Michael, he acts as a brother to him.
  • Nibs – Nibs is described as happy, joyful and debonair, possibly the bravest Lost Boy. He is chased by wolves in chapter five, and tattles on Slightly in chapter ten. He says the only thing he remembers about his mother is that she always wanted a cheque-book; he says he would love to give her one- if he knew what it was. He grows up to work in an office, and in Peter Pan in Scarlet is the only Lost Boy not to return to Neverland because he can't bear the thought of leaving his children. In Peter Pan and the Pirates, Nibs (voiced by Adam Carl) is depicted as a blond lost boy with a cap shaped like a lion's head with the face cut out.
  • Slightly – Slightly often provides comic relief. In the original book, he is described as the most conceited of the boys, because he believes that he, unlike the others, remembers what life was like before he was "lost." However, most of his "memories" are either based on misunderstandings or pure fabrications: one example is that he claims to know what his last name is— his pinafore had the words "Slightly Soiled" written on the tag. Slightly is, apparently, a poor make-believer, but he does seem to have a talent for music; he is described as cutting whistles and flutes from the branches of trees and dancing to tunes he creates himself, and in Peter Pan in Scarlet, he plays the clarinet and even saves the day a couple of times with his music. Slightly grows up to marry a noblewoman and becomes a lord, though in Peter Pan in Scarlet, he has become a widower at the age of thirty and is the only one of the Lost Boys not to father any children. In Peter Pan and the Pirates, he wears a parrot hat. He uses the word "Slightly" more often than the other Lost boys, a reference to his name. In Peter and the Secret of Rundoon, Slightly is said to have received his name at St. Norbert's, his true name being Edward Slight. In Peter Pan and the Pirates, Slightly (voiced by Scott Menville) is a blond lost boy who wears a cap in the shape of a parrot's head. He constantly uses the word "slightly" in his sentences.
  • Curly ("Cubby" in the Disney version) – Curly is a common favorite. Curly gets into trouble, described by Barrie as "a pickle" (a person who gets into pickles). He is in charge of building the little house in chapter six. Curly also is told to have curly hair to go with his name of course. He isn't very smart but very loveable. Also Curly is a little timid but still has a kind heart. Curly grows up to work in an office; however, in Peter Pan in Scarlet, he is a doctor and also the owner of one of Nana's great-grandpuppies. In Peter Pan and the Pirates, not much is revealed about Curly, except that he wants to be the comedian of the group. In one episode, he convinces Tinker Bell to make him funny, but has second thoughts when everyone laughs at the unfunniest things he says. He wears cat ears in the animated version. In Peter Pan and the Pirates, Curly (voiced by Josh Keaton) is a Hispanic lost boy with a cap shaped like a tiger's head with the face cut out.
  • The Twins – First and Second Twin know little about themselves- they are not allowed to, because Peter Pan does not know what Twins are, and no Lost Boy is allowed to know anything that Peter doesn't. The Twins grow up to work in an office. In Peter Pan in Scarlet, their real names are revealed to be Marmaduke and Binky. In Peter Pan and the Pirates, the Twins (voiced by Michael Bacall and Aaron Lohr) look nothing like each other and each finishes the other's sentences. When they have a falling out with each other, one cannot finish the other's sentences. The Underground House goes into turmoil as a result, until they are reunited. They both wear leopard hats in the animated version.

Famous quotes containing the words list of, list, lost and/or boys:

    I made a list of things I have
    to remember and a list
    of things I want to forget,
    but I see they are the same list.
    Linda Pastan (b. 1932)

    My list of things I never pictured myself saying when I pictured myself as a parent has grown over the years.
    Polly Berrien Berends (20th century)

    Reputation, reputation, reputation! O, I ha’ lost my reputation, I ha’ lost the immortal part of myself, and what remains is bestial!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    As long as male behavior is taken to be the norm, there can be no serious questioning of male traits and behavior. A norm is by definition a standard for judging; it is not itself subject to judgment.
    Myriam Miedzian, U.S. author. Boys Will Be Boys, ch. 1 (1991)
