AboutWhat does the meme depict?

The 'Finding Neverland' meme consists of a series of three screen captured images from the 2004 drama film 'Finding Neverland', featuring actors Johnny Depp as Barrie and Freddie Highmore as Peter. In the first panel, Peter appears visibly upset, shedding tears, as he explains the reason for his distress. The second panel shows Barrie looking at Peter with sympathy. The concluding third panel depicts a comforting scene where the two characters embrace each other.

OriginWho did it first?

These meme images capture a poignant moment from the climax of 'Finding Neverland', where Barrie comforts Peter by promising his continual presence and gently explains that his deceased mother is in Neverland, a mythical paradise. The creation of this image macro series is attributed to users on 4chan around the year 2008, though specific original posts have not been preserved. For further context, you can watch a clip from the movie here.^[1]
