It is only in film. In original novel, they are only spoiled girls, classical " Beverly Hyls shoping-crazy teenager".

Also, they could made how Neverland is actually modern name for Avalon( world from which elves, unicorns,mermaids,dwarfs and other fairy-like beings are native from). They could make how Tinkerbell is  Blue Fairy's rival. Ummm... wrong. The idea of the mermaids being dark and drowning people originated in the classic novel. Chapter 8,

There has never been a version of Peter Pan, be it book or movie where the mermaids were portrayed as "friendly".
