- The title is an allusion to Peter Pan, the character created by J.M. Barry, was friends with fairies (including Tinkerbell), and never grew old.
- There are several allusions to characters created by Carlo Collodi: Dean calls Sam Pinocchio (a carved puppet who wants to be a real boy). Sam calls Dean Jiminy Cricket (who served as his conscience), and also refers to the Blue Fairy (who eventually transforms him into a real boy).
- Oberon
The crystal lady tells the Winchesters that she thinks fairies are abducting first-born sons to service Oberon, to which Sam reacts by asking, "Dean ... did you service Oberon, King of the Fairies?"
Oberon and Titania are kind and queen of the fairies in William Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream.
- Little Big Man
At the end, when talking about the dwarf prosecutor that Dean tackled, Sam says "Little big man," meaning he is a little person but also a "big man" for not pressing charges. But this is also the title of a 1970 film starring Dustin Hoffman as a white man who had been raised by Indians.
Unrelated except by coincidence, Little Big Man also was the name of a respected warrior of the Oglala Lakota. He was a contemporary of Crazy Horse, opposed the treaty to take away the Black Hills from the Sioux, and fought at Little Big Horn.
