Goofs
When Peter Pan cuts the rigging, all the pirates fall into the lifeboat with Smee. There are about nine pirates falling into the boat, but when the fleeing Captain Hook passes them a few shots later, Smee has only four companions rowing the boat.
When the mermaids splash Wendy, her hair is shown as wet, but a second later with the arrival of Captain Hook, her hair is dry.
Captain Hook is dueling Peter Pan in the scene with Tiger Lilly. Hook almost falls when he steps off the ledge and his sword falls. In the next scene, Hook's sword is back in its scabbard as he hangs by his hook from a cliff.
When they are fighting on Hook's ship around the end of the movie, the pirates attack the Lost Boys who are on the crow's nest. One of them takes a sword and chops off some of a pirate's mustache, and a few seconds later it's back to normal.
Following the sequence where Mr Smee is giving Hook a shave, they see Peter Pan and the Darling children arriving at Neverland. Hook calls for Smee to raise the crew which he does with a whistle hanging around his neck -- a whistle that wasn't there until that moment.
