Hello all. Once again i find myself dragged to your wiki even though i'm not that into said show, but it seems whatever literature i'm researching for whatever purpose leads me back here lol.

So here's your food for thought from someone looking more outside at the adaption. I've already helped my mother "get" some of the references that went over her head and i really have no idea about this show other than what she told me and i read here XD

Anywho, from what you all have for information i think this shows adaption of Peter Pan is the Shadow, or at least it's part of him. Peter Pan is a character seen to many as light hearted but at the same time he does kidnap children and encourage them to never grow up. Adapting him into a more sinister character quite frankly isn't that much of a stretch.

The reason the shadow is used is more than likely a call back to the source material of where Peter Pan loses his shadow. In this case maybe there could be a benevolent Peter Pan with a shadow that's up to no good, a evil Peter Pan who sends his shadow to due his bidding, or the shadow is just a disguise he uses

I also see a lot of people around here siphoning in some Little Mermaid but clearly using the Disney movie as your source material. Change and love are your principle elements tot eh story, even though Disney turned it much more happy with a complete reversal on the stories lesson of love at first sight, but still i think the show would stand to do something good in trying to add TLM. Themes of never growing up, never being human, could easily be tred together into a story

Of course in order for that to work you are going to need a prince that is going to be Disney like instead of book like, since that one was pretty much a you know what lol.
