Peter Pan and Never Never Land

[offsides]

Hm. Actually, quite the contrary -- there's the core conflict. If Doug could just stroll in and say, "Hey, Pete, send me home" and get "sure, no prob" in response, there's no story. Now, Doug working to get accepted by the Lost Boys (who automatically distrust him and try to drive him away), fighting off Hook's press gangs, and generally becoming a third side in the Neverland war (the mermaids and the Indians apparently don't get involved) -- there's some story potential there.

Not only that, but I expect that there will also be the conflict of Doug setting the example that you _can_ grow up and yet not lose the childish playfulness that makes them kids. After all, if Doug can do this, maybe they can. And if they can, maybe they'll decide to go home. It seems to me that Peter Pan would want to try and take Doug somewhere else as soon as Doug starts gaining the Lost Boys trust...
Just a thought...
