Hook (1991) REACTION 

Still the best version of Peter Pan IMO.

"Hook" was such a good title. Dustin Hoffman knocked the role out of the park. Literally one of my favorite characters I've seen portrayed.

Robin Williams was and always will be part of so many people childhoods Rest In Peace

out of all the classic movies people do reactions to.. I'm super surprised this movie has barely been reacted to by almost anyone. this movie is iconic

So fun fact. The person who gets put screaming into the "boo box" near the start was actually Glenn Close, dress as a pirate.

Captain Hook is supposed to represent adulthood and the reason he hates clocks is because it reminds him that he is getting old. This whole movie is about Peter metaphorically fighting his own adulthood (represented by Hook) so that he could reconnect with his inner child and repair his relationship with his children.

It’s actually very impressive how Steven Spielberg was able to take a story where Peter Pan grows up and make it work perfectly while sticking close to the mythology of the original book at the same time

Rufio is played by Dante Basco. He mostly does voice acting and was the voice of Zuko in the animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender.

A really worthy, respectful homage to the best traditions of Peter Pan - and Robin Williams in another heartfelt role. Why does it feel that much more recent adaptations fall so short?

" there you are Peter " that line makes me cry 😂

Gwyneth Paltrow played the young Wendy Darling. It was her 2nd film role (1991).

15:30 one of my first ASMR experiences. John Williams' musical score combined with the boy's close personal attention to Peter's face was a tingle trigger, and I look fondly at this scene always.

This is the best Peter Pan movie of all time. There will never be a version that tops it or even comes close.

Peter cut off Captain Hook's hand and fed it to the croc. That same croc had swallowed a clock. It decided it wanted the rest of Hook, so it followed his ship around. The ticking was how Hook knew the croc was nearby, and why he grew to fear the ticking. Of course people will point out that it is more symbolic of Hook fearing time passing and death. Those things may be true. But this is actually the history of the character.

I saw this one in theaters when I was 11 or 12 years old, and it was the first time John Williams music actually brought me to tears since E.T. A lot of those tunes still choke me up, I still dont know why, but this film was so great!

Out of all of the adaptions that I know of this and the disney cartoon are my favorites, I can't see another live action movie being this good. 7:06 The detective here is Phil Collins, the lead singer of Genesis.

3:30 Yep, good ole Maggie Dame Smith. She would have been 57 in 1991, and still going strong at 88. She's a British national treasure in my American opinion. 3:37 "Is he Peter Pan?" Nice catch pretty early for having not known a single thing coming into the movie.

I loved this movie so much as a kid, and my husband and I still joke about 'never food' whenever we sit at an empty table, or the "I want a cookieeeee! I want to stay up! I want, I want, I want, me, me, me, me, mine, mine, mine, mine, now, now, now, now!" when our kids were acting up. This is also probably my favorite standalone John Williams score, it's just magical.

Btw, the police detective who comes to the house is the singer Phil Collins.

I love how Peter finds out that his "aunt" Wendy was the same girl he knew all the years ago. What a cool moment.

I'm so happy you enjoyed this cherished classic. Hook was one of my favorite movies when I was a little girl, and now I watch it every Christmas with my own kids. Loved seeing the wonder and delight on your faces as you connected the dots to figure out the plot. Viki has such a good memory for small details!

It still hurts to see Robin's movies without crying. I might have to be brave and see this again. I still cry for him. It was hard on me hearing that he had died.

The best running joke ever through a movie: Toodles claiming to have "lost his marbles" (i.e. become senile), when he actually did lose his literal marbles 😂

Such a part of my childhood! Born in 86 and saw it over a dozen times! 🫶🏻

Young Moira (Gwyneth Paltrow) played Tony Stark's executive assistant and later wife, Pepper Potts in Iron-Man & MCU. I cry so many times in this movie!

This is truly my absolute favorite Peter Pan film hands and hook down. I’ve actually been involved in two productions of Peter Pan. The first one was a version that we had wrote based on the book and I was Smee in that one. The second production I did was the actual Broadway production and I was one of the pirates. I recently learned that the moment Peter choose a Thud as his successor, the reactions are genuine. Spielberg and Robin Williams knew who would get the sword and kept quiet about it. So none of the Lost Boys ever knew who would be the successor. At the 25th anniversary, Dante Bosco as well as the other last boys squeeze backed into their lost boy costumes and honored Robin Williams, since he was not there to share a happy moment with them. RIP Robin Williams. ✨⚔️🏴‍☠️🧚🏻🐊💚💛❤️🖤

The younger Wendy actress was not the actress who plays Captain Marvel. it is Gwyneth Paltrow, the actress who plays Pepper Potts (Iron Man's romantic interest.)

Fun fact, the guy that gets put in the "boo box" is Glenn Close

The speech Moira gives Peter after he explodes at their children is so poignant.

Growing up watching this movie, the music has an emotional connection to me. The music alone makes me think of my childhood and growing up. So amazing.

Fun fact: the boo box pirate is academy award winner Glenn Close

Loved this movie as a child. Good memories. Wish Robin was still around. My god could he act.

The young girl playing young Wendy in the flashback scene is Gwyneth Paltrow who plays Pepper Potts(Iron Man’s love interest).

12:46 STILL saying this quote to this day, coworkers so confused when I say it LOL!!

J.M. Barry wrote The Adventures of Peter Pan as a play and a book. When it opened in London Barry had the theater owner hold back 10% of the seats as reserved. The theater owner was not happy about it but he did it. the seats were scattered about the auditorium. Berry had arranged the seats to be occupied by children from a local orphanage. The children scattered around the audience laughed at a sheep dog being a nurse made as the 1st scene opened, giving the stuffed shirt London Theater crowd permission to laugh and enjoy the play. It was a hit. J.M. Barry never took a penny of profit from the story or the play. All Profit to this day and any rendition of the story goes to the Orphanage. And so it shall ever be. The Lost Boys Barry was writing about, ... were abducted and exploited children. The Pirates, were the abductors. In Never Land, ... The Lost Boys get to fight the pirates, ...and win.

"You are the Pan". Still makes me cry every time.

Nice reaction! I actually read this book years ago for a school project. One part I remember is when Peter's in the slingshot. It went something like this: Tinkerbell: "Just one happy thought Peter! How about puppies?" Peter: "They try to commit suicide under your feet." Tinkerbell: "Cotton candy?" Peter: "Disgusting! Gets everywhere and impossible to clean." Tinkerbell: "M&M's??" Tink was growing desperate. Peter: "Melts on your couch, not in your hand." As always, keep em coming!

I love this movie. I love the fact that (in the past) the crocodile loved the taste of Hooks hand so much that he came back to life just long enough for one more meal. In the stories the crocodile had swallowed a clock and that's how Hook could hear the crocodile coming to try to eat him and that's why Hook hates clocks. Something this movie also reminds us to do is to use our imagination. Peter had to relearn how to use his imagination at the feast.

I recently rewatched hook with my mum this is the best movie from my childhood and it holds up today im glad viki and ellie enjoyed this classic keep up the great content girls ❤❤

I loved how easily people always misjudge Rufio. Rufio wasn't threatened by Peter's return, he was the most loyal of all the Lost Boys. He was given a mission by THE PAN to act in his absence. The difference is because Rufio was ONLY loyal to Peter PAN, not Peter BANNING.

Such a beautiful reaction to a wonderful film! This is a childhood favorite of mine and I watch it often. Robin Williams was a delight in everything he did.

The pirate that Captain Hook sends to the Boo Box is played by Glenn Close. Also Gwyneth Paltrow plays the young Wendy Darling.

A friend of mine when I was in high school was adopted. She got into a fight with her mother and at one point she told her mother, "You're not even my real mother." Very hurtful, but her mother's answer changed the way my friend saw her mother. Her mother said, "No, I'm not your mother. A biological mother is obliged by evolution to lover her child. Biological mothers who did not love their child did not pass their genes to the next generation. Biological mothers don't get a choice. "But adoptive mothers choose to love their children. I chose to love you and I still love you." In that instant her relationship with her mother changed. And my view on adoption changed as well.

Fun fact about Robin being casted as Peter Pan, years ago he did his own so-called mork & Mindy and there's an episode where he was in a mental institution visiting a penpal claiming to be Peter Pan, and at the end of the episode the man claiming to be Peter Pan said that Mork was more like Peter Pan than he ever was. And then about twenty years later he ends up becoming Peter Pan himself. So a lot of people felt that in the seventies they called it where Robin was going to be Peter Pan.

I love these "homie" girls , there all so positive and bring great , happy vibes in every video they react to , especially Ellie even when she's emotional. There is nothing wrong with being emotional and crying , let it out Ellie Beautiful, because it's good to release it. Love all the homie girls ,but Ellie ❤️😍🥰😘🔥🔥🔥 is my favourite , I i would LOVE to comfort her when she's feeling emotional and even when she's not.

Just thought you would like to know that Rufio is played by Dante Basco. He is now 46, and played in "Take The Lead" with Antonio Banderas in his 20's. It was a movie about ballroom dancing where Dante danced the Tango.

The statue that Peter is laying next to in London is a statue of Peter Pan. The actors who played the lost boys didn't know who Robin Williams was going to give his sword to. It was a surprise to them .

For those that don't know this, Rufio is also Prince Zuko from Avatar The Last Airbender.

All the cameo appearances! Glenn Close, Jimmy Buffett and David Crosby as pirates, along with the all-star cast. Some panned the movie, but I have always enjoyed it - and I'm glad you girls loved it, too!

This movie came out when I was a kid. I used to have so many dreams of flying after watching this

I watch this every year around Christmas. Love it. A lot. The little girl that played Maggie was the most adorable child to ever walk the earth.

7:01 "Can you Phil it, Collins in the air tonight, oh yeah" (Honest Trailer)😁 9:40 the floating couple ist played by George Lucas and Carrie Fisher, who also worked a bit on the script.😊 11:05 the Booboo pirate was played by Glenn Close🤓 14:30 long before he played Fire Lord Zuko, his hair was already on fire.😅 28:59 childhood trauma 😭😭😭

This has one of my fav john williams soundtracks and funny enough this was originally planned to be a musical with lots more songs then "when your all alone" and "i don't wanna grow up" in the play And Omg funny you say bc i had (and still have) the biggest rufio crush on the planet! That was my first byfrnd as a baby girl! 🙈🤩💁‍♀️ and ive cosplayed as rufio in a feminine version and its pretty fkn cute! 🙆‍♀️😇💖 still dealing with the death of my first love🙊😭

Toodles is his own character, one of the original lost boys that grew up. John and Michael were Peter's brothers.

20:10 Watching this again, it's been at least 20ys. I'm seeing an actor from Band of Brothers as a lost boy and really needing to play some "Sea of Thieves" with this great shot.

Oh my goodness the way I screamed when I saw you ladies reacted to this. Great reaction as always. This movie WAS my childhood.

I’ve loved this movie since I was a child, and I still watch it every year. I’ve never watched it without enjoying it. I know a lot of people didn’t like it, but I think they look at this movie and expect so much depth and hidden meanings they ruin it for themselves. As a child, when you spend all day getting lost in your imagination and then you watch a movie that feels like your imagination and your dreams, it‘s magical. I still feel the same happiness now watching Hook as I did over 15 years ago. Say what you’d like; if you have no imagination, your opinion on this isn’t worth anything, because you’re watching and looking at it all wrong.

lol giving Hook an existential crisis was a brilliant bold new take

Love this movie so much and I remember when I first saw it in the theaters and how amazing it was. The actress that plays young Wendy is Gwyneth Paltrow the actress of Pepper Potts in the Iron Man movies. Nice reaction girls as always and I am glad you enjoyed it.

One of my all time favorite movies. A really great take on neverland. Better than the orginal.

Ellie & Viki Jack Banning, son of Peter is played by former child actor/actor, Charlie Korsmo. Charlie left acting for school. Charlie got his law degree worked as a lawyer. Now, Charlie is a professor at Case Western Reserve University School of Law in Cleveland, Ohio.

My favorite movie! Great acting, great plot and story! Thanks for reacting! 😁

In this film the clocks remind Hook that time is always passing and with it he gets older and older. The lost boys do not age because they chose to never grow up.

The kid who plays a Rufio voices Zuko in The Last Airbender TV series

Its very interesting at the beginning part because as you said: Wendy? Its Peter? yeah so many questions, i was also confused even it was obvious since the poster but when you start to see the movie in blind, the reveals during the story its so impressive and i think that this movie its a very, very classic one even it was not considered so great back in the day.

Just watched this a few weeks ago. Absolutely love it❤️ For me, this is my favorite live-action version of ‘Peter Pan’. To me, this film is also one of the main reasons why Steven Spielberg is my favorite director, and John Williams my favorite composer. Also loved Robin Williams performance too

This was one of my favorite movies as a kid, when it came out on VHS I watched it at least once a month for a couple years lol.

This is one of my favorite movies ever. It’s not perfect but it makes me smile the entire time and I remember sitting in the living room with my blanket and cookies when I was a kid. To this day it’s my favorite and just the beginning play scene makes me feel comfort.

11:25 That Black Pirate sounds like a vacuum cleaner 😂😂😂

The buffet/imagination game scene is my absolute favorite scene. 🤤

Fun fact: The pirate that gets put in the boo box was actually played by actress Glenn Close

Omg this is one of my favorite movies of alllll time. Have a great memory of my father and I going to go see this and having a great time.

My favorite movie of all time. Was rufio for like 15 straight halloweens. A friend of mine even had classes taught by Jack.

Fun fact: The couple that’s kissing on the bridge at 9:40 are George Lucas and Carrie Fisher(Princess Leia) who are known for collaborating in the Star Wars franchise OG trilogy.

This movie was my JAAAM as a kid. I brought it in for my first grade class and my teacher was annoyed bc they said hell. Then I was Hook for Halloween.

This and Mrs. Doubtfire are my favorite Robin Williams films. Both are good family movies (especially, a dad).

RUFIO! RUFIO! RU -FI-OOOOO

Not to blow your mind but the pirate put in the “Boo Box” was played by Glenn Close…who famously played cruella in live action version 101 Dalmations

Love love love this movie. And loved watching Viki connect with it bc of her love for the original story.

For whatever reason this movie didn't do well in ratings despite having a great cast, an amazing set, a beautiful musical score, and endless amounts of charm. Now it's an underrated treasure that teaches people that growing old can still be a magical experience.

The chemistry between Bob Hoskins and Dustin Hoffman was wondeful

The guy that plays Rufio ( Dante Basco) is in the film take the lead with Antonio Banderas (2006), if you haven’t watched it you should.

This is one of my childhood favorite movies 🤩 Glad you watched this!

One of my favorite Robin Williams movies!! So many lessons in this movie. Big difference watching it as a grown up

Liked it as a kid like it as an adult has a lot of heart robin williams was truly gifted!!!

Rip Laurel Cronin 1939-1992 Dodi Fayed 1955-1997 Arthur Malet 1927-2013 Bob Hoskins 1942-2014 Robin Williams 1951-2014 Tony Burton 1937-2016 Carrie Fisher 1956-2016 and David Crosby 1941-2023

To say this movie is a timeless classic is an understatement

the pirate that was put in the Boo box was played by actress Glenn Close

Rufio is Dante Basco. The movie Blood and Bone (2009) has him in it as an adult

This movie is crazy to think about considering the origins of Peter Pan being a demon whom kidnapped little boys and Hook was the original Lost Boy.

Spielberg said he wasn't happy with how this movie turned out but I love it.

This is the proper way to do a live-action version of a disney movie 👌

After “Hook”, I would really like to see a reaction of “Finding Neverland”, which is for me also an amazing film about Peter Pan.

FINALLY someone watched this! Thanks gals!!! Happy late bday El!

❤Your Channel has Never Failed in Reliving my Favorite Childhood Memories..U Ladies R the Best 😊..Shout outs to Magy and Blu Also❤❤

Hook hated the ticking of the clocks was because he was growing old

I am still waiting for Viki and Lia to watch my favorite Robin Williams movie Good Will Hunting. Ellie and Michelle absolutely loved it. Spielberg's original idea for this movie was to have Michael Jackson play Peter and it was going to be a musical with 8 original song and dance scenes. He had to completely rework the script for Robin

The Detective was played by the Legendary Singer/Drummer PHIL COLLINS! The Pirate put in the "Boo Box" was... get ready for THIS... The Actress GLENN CLOSE!

If you want to see Rufio all grown up, go watch the Hook's 25th Anniversary Reunion.. it was just a year after Robin's death, so be prepared to cry.

The actors of Smee an Captain Hook played their characters as a married couple
