It is far from childish. The rivalry between Peter and Hook was an allegory, about two extemes.... childhood vs. adulthood. The moral was to grow up, but retain some childlike innocence. Yeah, if you actually read the book, the story is so much more complex than you realise. Beside what ChocolatEyes613 said (which I agree with), the character of Peter is much more complex than people realise. And also the story is about the decision whether to grow up and become an adult or stay a child, a decision that Wendy has an extremely hard time of making for a time, and when she does make that decision, she becomes sad with loneliness because her biological and adopted brother have forgotten that Peter was a real person and because she and they are no longer "innocent and gay".
