"Another Mission...Successively Completed...By The Can Do Twins"
Twins catchphrase from Fox's Peter Pan & the Pirates

The Twins are a mismatched pair of twins that are part of the Lost Boys. Their individual names are never mentioned. They are always referred to as Twins (or Twin when speaking to one individually). They are credited online as Tall Twin and Short Twin.

History[]

Not much is known about their history before coming to Neverland. Because of their appearance, it is assumed that they showed up in Neverland at the same time and were then dubbed Twins by Peter.

In the episode The Great Race they are regularly referred to as The Can Do Twins.

Personality and Appearance[]

Fox's Peter Pan and The Pirates has a unique depiction of the twins, usually they are actual identical twin brothers, but in this series they are seemingly unrelated, look completely different, but still wear matching clothes. Aside from that, they're both intelligent and complete each other's sentences with a tendency to do so in a form of rhyme.

The Twins are two Lost Boys who wear cheetah skin caps and yellow T-shirts, with brown trousers. The Tall twin is a dark skinned boy with black wavy hair, his ethnicity is not mentioned on the show but is assumed by fans to be African. The short twin is a light skinned boy with orange hair and his boots are a bit shorter in length.

They have a a rivalry with Billy Jukes, who is also a mechanical engineer, but in one episode they form a bit of a friendship with Jukes when they're forced to work together.

Abilities[]

They are the inventors and mechanics of the Lost Boys, often coming up with ingenious inventions to make living in their hideout more comfortable. In fact most of their activity revolves in creating, building and testing their own inventions and machines.

They work best together as a team, as shown in the episode The Great Race. When they try to work apart from each other their inventions fall apart. This is because they are so naturally synchronized with each other that they can accomplish far more when working together which is also perhaps why they finish each other's sentences when talking while subconsciously doing so in rhyme. That is why more or less at any given situation they do practically everything together and therefore are never apart.

On most occasions it can come out, that their inventions are usually handy in coming to the rescue in many a difficult situation and on another times it is their general knowledge and acquaintance on machines that prove essential to help them and their friends out of certain scrapes. However not once do they both not anticipate some details in their particular inventions of the time, that can cause secondary effects and trouble in any current scenario.

Out of Lost Boys they regularly have the biggest roles in this series tending to appear in most story-lines whilst all in all accompanying Peter in most adventures. This is most likely due to their inventions being a very big help for Peter and the others in playing tricks and jokes on the pirates, which can represent the main action in those episodes.

There aren't any episodes that got either titled or dedicated just only to them, nor are they not solely the heroes of any particular story. But despite this they do get the biggest or only roles in more or less everyone of the most significant and important episodes from the series.

Trivia[]

According to tvtropes the whole concept behind them is a clever Mythology Gag based on a line from the original story about Peter never being able to admit on the fact that he doesn't really know anything. Due to this he doesn't let any of his Lost Boys get to know anything that he doesn't know. So here in this adaption if Peter had decided that he wanted twins but not understanding really just exactly what twins are, he would've just picked two Lost Boys and declared them to be twins.
