Pure Imagination. Doctor Who, Eleven and Amy.

It's really beautifully edited, and sort of simultaneously delightful and creepy as hell, because there's that definite pedophiliac vibe coming through the Eleven/Amy relationship.

I actually do find Peter and Wendy a little creepy, yes. You're right, there's definitely a Peter-Panish thing going on here, and I do appreciate the shift in that Amy's version of Wendy isn't really interested in playing house or the trappings of adulthood - she's just interested in the sex :-). But even though you're right, textually and in the analogy, the Doctor trying to keep Amy from growing up is meant to mean "Stay with me in eternal childhood," it still looks visually like an adult man trying to have a relationship with a child. And I think there's too much baggage just in our society about either molesting children, or just men who want childlike, docile women, to get rid of that vibe no matter what the intent was or what the other interpretations are.
