It's obvious from these Peter Pan finds that the allure of Neverland is something that sticks with us beyond our childhood years. Peter Pan, besides being a delightful Disney classic, has a lot to say in regards to the hesitancy of growing up and accepting responsibility. The Lost Boys have quite a bit of similarity to the boys from 'Lord of the Flies' and, as seen in Jeremy Blincoe's work, the appeal of a world without rules is simultaneously compelling and disturbing.
Another feature that is often overlooked when thinking of Peter Pan is his shadow's refusal to cooperate. This makes for a brilliant metaphor for the struggle between one's internal motivations and outward personality. In the Ryan Gosling GQ editorial, the celebrity is featured in various scenarios where his shadow appears to have an agenda of its own.
