Shrek the Musical[]
Pan is seen in the musical as a fairy tale character evicted to Shrek's Swamp. Before singing "Freak Flag", he suggests that everyone close their eyes and "clap really, really hard." Pinocchio tells him to grow up. Pan responds by saying "I won't grow up!" to which Pinocchio says "You're 34 and needing a shave!".
Swamp Talk[]
Pan was mentioned in the episode, "What Was Captain Hook's Name Before The Hook?". During a debate over Hook's identity before the hook, Shrek hatches a theory that he was named "Captain Pan". Leading to the idea the Peter might be the son of Captain Hook. This was really just a way for Shrek and Donkey to make a bunch of Star Wars jokes.
Video games[]
Pan appears in the video game Shrek: Reekin' Havoc where he lost his shadow. The shadow, thanks to Lord Farquaad's ghost, thinks it's the real Peter Pan, and is causing a ruckus in Neverland. In the end, Pan gets his shadow back and his identity is saved.
In the video game, Shrek the Third, it is implied that Captain Hook killed Peter. Though, if the games have any canon with the films, Hook is not surprised when he mistakes a boy for Peter Pan in the film upon which the video game was based.
