The Isle of the Lost is Neverland.
Think about it for a second: A land untouched by time? By death? What better place to bring the once-dead villains into?
Neverland shouldn't exist, and neither should the Isle. Adults can't find the land their kids vanished into and the people of Auradon couldn't take a look at the Isle if they wanted. And if the imprisoned villains managed to break free? How could they possibly know where to flee?
Neverland became the Isle of the Lost.
It's cruel, really. They only laugher to be heard at this place is an echo of Peter Pan's. Captain Hook says he can still hear it, sometimes. The Isle kids hear half-forgoten words asking them to "come with me" and "be a child forever, never grow up!" in their dreams.
They never respond.
They never got the chance to be kids in the first place.
The waters of the Isle are plagued not only by sharks and crocodiles, no: mermaids, sirens, still lounge in the warm waters, still competing for affections of a boy that is no longer there (or is he?)
The Isle girls don't dare to come to the water.
And the Lost boys? These children out of time?
They have so many new friends now, and they can't figure out why they don't want to play.
The Lost Boys are the only ones to remember that Isle of the Lost was once Neverland.
