The Lost Children are a group of characters, featured in the 2023 film, Peter Pan & Wendy.
Role in the film[]
The Lost Children approach Wendy accusing her of what she did to Peter and as Wendy talks to Tiger Lily, they think that she is an imposter which Tiger Lily halts their attacks. At first, Wendy is confused with the "Lost Boys" name due to the team of children having three girls (the Twins and Curly), much to the offense of the Twins.
Wendy discusses with the Lost Children that she and her siblings were flying at Neverland with Peter while being attacked by Captain Hook and his crew just as Slightly tells Bellweather to use his telescope to see what is going on just as Slightly gives Wendy the telescope to show what her brothers look liked which Wendy tells them that she is seeing John and Michael being captured by Hook and his crew.
As Hook and his crew set sail for Skull Rock, Slightly alerts Wendy that the crew has headed for Skull Rock, leading Wendy and the children to find John and Michael and then rescue them, alongside Tiger Lily who follows alongside Wendy. While following Tiger Lily, the Lost Children discuss with Wendy about a story of what Peter Pan did to Captain Hook which Tiger Lily alerts them that Hook and his crew have arrived with John and Michael held hostage. Just as Tinker Bell rescues John and Michael thanks to her Pixie Dust, she leads Peter, Wendy, John, Michael, and Tiger Lily out of Skull Rock as the Lost Children escape Skull Rock into a hill. During a discussion with Peter, he tells Wendy and the Lost Children that nothing ever changes in Neverland just before Wendy follows alongside her brothers as well as the Lost Children, followed by Tiger Lily returning to her tribe.
Arriving at the hideout, Wendy attempts to tell a bedtime story to the her siblings and the Lost Children to which while discussing with them, Wendy instead sings a lullaby her mother sang to her when she was at home, just as they fall asleep. However, Captain Hook and his pirate crew arrive and capture the Lost Children, alongside Tinker Bell, just as they are taken to their prison cells at the Jolly Roger. With the children captured, Hook then leads a plan to send the children to walk the plank the next day, much to Wendy's worry of Hook's evil plans.
The next day, Hook orders his crew to send Wendy to walk the plank, followed by the Lost Children, John, and Michael being next; however, Tinker Bell escapes from Smee who trapped her in a lantern and then saves Wendy from falling into the ocean, much to Hook and the other pirates hearing no splash from the ocean as it is shown that Tink saved Wendy from falling into the ocean. Furthermore, the Lost Children take part during the battle against Hook's pirates while Peter takes on Hook, alongside Wendy, Michael, John, Tinker Bell, and Tiger Lily. Later, when Wendy tells everyone to hold on while trying to get the pirate crew out of the ship, the Lost Children hang onto the ship while the pirate crew starts falling into the ocean. Two Lost Boys then fire a cannonball at Hook to get him off the ship which Hook suddenly falls into the ocean.
After Captain Hook and his crew are defeated, Wendy then tells Peter to set sail back to London to give the Lost Children a home. Wendy introduces the Lost Children to her father George much to his surprise of seeing them in the Darling family's house to which they and the Darlings see the Jolly Roger sailing off for Neverland.
