Welcome to Neverland, where things are never, ever bland! When Peter Pan gets caught by the Darling family, he brings them all back to Neverland rather than risk being made to grow up. But when they all arrive in Wonderland, they realize that father George and mother Mary are no longer grown ups… they’ve been turned into children again! One visit to Doc Belle and the Tinkers later and they learn their diagnosis, NoFunitis, is irreversible unless they learn to have fun again! So Peter, Wendy, John, Michael, Nana and Tink take George and Mary on a trip around Neverland, introducing them to the best parts about being a kid again! But things can never be that easy for the leader of the Lost Kids, because Captain Hook is planning to end Peter Pan’s fun once and for all! While that wretched Pan is showing the Darlings around and introducing them to the other residents of Neverland, Captain Hook and his pirates are planning the ultimate trap for Peter, the Lost Kids, and even the Darlings. Of course, Captain Hook’s one fear needs to be dealt with first so that nothing can stop him. Tick, tock, tick, tock! Will Captain Hook be able to ensnare the Lost Kids before the Darling parents learn how to have fun again? Or will the Darling parents learn that having fun is good for a person?
