The reason Jack doesn't recognize his father is because Neverland has a strange effect on the mind. In Peter Pan, Wendy's brothers begin to forget their parents too, and Wendy has to keep reminding them that they have to go back at some point because they have a family. It makes you forget about your life on earth so you'll want to stay for ever. In sense, Neverland is holding you hostage and giving you Stockholm syndrome.
Yeah, that's also why when Robin turns into Peter Pan and Tink talks to him about rescuing his children, he actually forgets that he has them. Hook also was corrupting and manipulating the Hell out of Jack and Maggie too. Even at one point, Maggie has a hard time remembering her parents.
I actually think that Jack said he was home because he began to like Hook and see him as more of a father figure than Peter. Edit: I remember when Jack asks who Peter was and then he remembers that he's his dad but he hates to fly.
That couple kissing on the bridge is George Lucas and Carrie Fisher? O_O I didn't know they made it into this movie! R.I.P. Carrie Fisher you will be missed...
While Janitor Smee may be there to blurr the lines of reality and add confusion, don't forget that in most adaptations Hook and Mr. Darling (wendy's dad) are usually played by the same actor. So blurring the lines of reality is nothing new in Peter Pan
+Brandon Roberts The only question left is, why?! Why did he buy a ticket to go watch that play, it makes no sense in the concept of the movie!!! I think Peter Pan is the one who has lost his marbles, that is the only way he would imagine George and Carrie together flying away.
Of all the Peter Pan sequels/prequels/reimaginings in cinema, this is probably the best. It delves into the more tragic side and psychology of Peter Pan. Interestingly, they do it by flipping the script. Instead of Peter being a boy afraid to grow up, he's an adult who's afraid to remember what it's like to be a child.
Peter pan 2 was good! Yeah the animation was too cartoony and the lost boys song was lame BUT the moral was good. Jane is a likable character, Peter was less of a jerk than in the first movie; He FLIRTED with Tiger lily in front of Wendy and never appologises about it AND he almost let her being drowned by the mermaids while he was laughing at her. With Jane, Peter NEVER let her in danger plus when she arrived; he showed her fun stuff. He even dances with her and gives her a lost girl costume; that was so cute X3
But as was said, it’s too damn long and takes too long until Peter becomes likable and gets his powers. And I rolled my eyes when he said he remembered his mother when he was still an infant and was afraid of growing up and dying. Which is not at all biologically possible at that age.
I haven't seen the 2003 remake with Jason Isaacs as Hook, but I've heard that one was underrated. I did watch this movie (and other child-friendly Robin Williams movies from the 1980s and 1990s) so much as a kid that I called Robin Williams "Uncle Robin."
Fun fact: The school play scene in the first scene was made up of actual school kids in my moms class. One of the actresses in this scene is also my older sister
Jeremiah Jackson My Top 4 favourite lines include 1 'My Jack' (SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A MEME ON THIS QUOTE!!) 2 'After all what would the World be like without....Captain Hook!' 3 Eat what? There's nothing there. Gandhi ate more than this. 4 He took my toy, she hid my bear, I want a potty, I want a Cookie, I want to stay up!
@@nine_tails137 This is it. Don't try to stop me this time, Smee. Don't try to stop me this time, Smee. Don't you dare try to stop me this time, Smee, try to stop me. Smee, you'd better get up off your ass. Get over here, Smee!
Danny Caracciolo Yep, and in the previous video, where Doug counts down the 11 worst Avatar episodes, the ending is a parody of the scene in Legend of Korra, where General Iroh II (also voiced by Dante) makes his debut appearance!
That old woman is frigging immortal, I swear! She was that age when i was a kid at 6 and first saw that movie, and she's STILL that age and now I'm 31!
Sooooo. Tinker Bell took Peter with her when he was a baby, raised him... and then wished she could make out with him for the rest of her life. Niiice.
***** I read the story years ago, but I remember Tinker Bell as being less "human", she didn't have the same way to control her emotions and such. Here she acts just like a tiny human, so her actions creep me out way more.
Because that's not weird at all But to be fair, if Tink looked exactly like Julia Roberts, I wouldn't care how old she is. In real life, Julia is 50, almost 51. And she still looks great!
There's a neat theory about Peter Pan. It basically says that Peter kidnaps children to join him in Neverland, and when they get too old he kills them; thus, they never grow up. Captain Hook was one of the children who escaped and he recruits the older children to try and stop Peter Pan.
let me guess brothers Grimm, where Cinderella include gouging eyeballs, red riding hood including cutting open stomachs, little mermaid where the little mermaid dies, or hotel and Grendel where they get eaten alive
Ahahaha the Grimm brothers' tales are actually pretty watered down, in the original Red Riding Hood the little girl gets raped and murdered by a guy in the woods and he feeds her corpse to his pet wolf. A pretty effective way to convince children not to go alone in the woods if you ask me.
Fun little tidbit, Phil Collins is actually playing detective Johnathan Darling, Wendy's younger brother, hence why Toodles asks "Have you forgotten how to fly?" And gets the response "we all do."

my mother just went to a festival in the bershires at tanglewood, and john williams at 91 years old got up and directed some of the program, her and my aunt who are 80 years old got to meet him back stage, i can make jokes, but yes john williams is awesome!
For anyone wondering how Carrie and George made it into the movie, it's because Carrie was brought in to script doctor Tinkerbell's scenes, so she was already working on the film, so they gave her a cameo and she brought in George then... Also... '...I hope I slept with you to get the job cause if not then who the hell was that guy??' ~ Carrie Fisher from her roast of George Lucas
Oh, but Rufio, you do have a dad. He burned half your face off and tried to electrocute you! You have a sister too! She did electrocute you. (She takes after daddy)
"Sue Neverland for false advertising!" Add that to the fact that Peter is a lawyer, and we could have had ourselves a courtroom drama in the last third of the movie!
Oh my GOD Julia Roberts is the absolute most underrated Tinkerbell. She absolutely captured the mute sass of the cartoon character and translated it into a spoken lines role.
Deadpool Vlogs -- Yes, he sadly is dead. He committed suicide by hanging himself. Mental illness and depression is a massive issue in society and his death shows that no amount of money and success can cure issues like that.
Yeah, that's my theory too. Also, I reckon the pilot on the Pan Am plane was Hook. It was Dustin Hoffman's voice on the announcement. I think Hook and Smee spent years and years searching for Peter all over the world, and kidnapped the other families' kids who they thought were related to Peter (but weren't).
ultraofrahfan1 Imagine being so threatened by feminism that THIS is what you think the reason for that trope is instead of, I don't know, fathers neglecting their families for their careers is extremely common in real life and is therefore relatable?
+henryvolt35 Yep. I got to meet Dante Basco at Otakon 2014. He graced us with an original song he wrote for his fiance, dropped some freestyle poetry jewels, and spoke about his relationship with Robin Williams and his experiences while filming Hook. Oh, and he and his sibling had their own dance crew back in L.A.
I think Peter growing up kinda makes sense. If he comes back to the real world every spring he would age up. Slowly of course, but a bit at the time every time. They don't exactly say how long he stays per visit
"Lookie, Lookie, I got Hookie"-Rufio (Rufio gets stabbed by Hook) "NOOOOOO!"-Peter "I wish I had a dad like you," - Rufio's last words to Peter (The Lost Boys immediately forget him and turn their attention to Peter fighting Hook)
I wonder why Doug never touched down on Glenn Close as the pirate thrown into the Boo-Box. There's a lot of interesting, surprise cameos in this movie.
+Kimani Wilson-Hunte I'm surprised you're the only person mentionning the new Pan movie. I expected a lot more conspiracy theorists going on about how this is reuploaded JUST when that other Peter Pan-related movie is coming out.
+Jack Jack It looks like it took a bath in CGI fakeness. Looks as bad as Maleficent or Snow White and the Huntsman. So much damn fantasy cgi you can barely see what's going on.
I honestly thought, even as a child, that when Hook's wig landed on the short kid (the ginger who can't act, for reference), that they were setting up for a future sequel where that kid would be the "new Hook" and either Pan's kids or his kids' kids would have to take up the mantle or something - or it would be, like, entirely internal and never leave Neverland, or something like that. Maybe the black kid doubts his abilities enough to be the New Pan and Pan's descendants have to come in and take over until they can find him and reinvigorate him or... IDK MAN I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS A LOT OVER THE YEARS
FYI, the executive producer, J. V. Hart, wrote a YA novel called Capt. Hook: the Adventures of a Notorious Youth about Hook as a 15-year-old. He followed the details of the original novel Peter Pan very faithfully, and I like it a lot.
Same. Back when I was a kid, and my parents told there was a Hook movie, I was pretty pumped up because I thought it would be solely about Hook, as in how he came to Neverland and lost his end. I was pretty disappointed.
After Hook, Rufuo reincarnated in a little place known as the fire nation, and he finally had a dad (who unfortunately was a close relative of the Joker). And after suffering many setbacks and rejections, he spent the rest of his life with his companion: honor.
I'm surprised you didn't bring up the fact that Hook was eaten by an alligator that seemed to be dead, but then ate him, but then never moved outside of gravity and tilting its head. That part confused me a lot as a kid.
1. There was a deleted scene showing Hook lived. 2. My head canon is Hooks imagination made the corpse come to life. What was actually just stale air escaping the taxidermied body, Hook imagined was the Croc coming back to kill him, so of course it did.
I was so confused.... They didn't explain ANYTHING. I thought it was supposed to be a prequel, but they never explained how/why Hook went bad, etc...There's so much more wrong with it, but it's really late, and I'll spare everyone the gory details.
I was able to sit through the "Smells like Teen Spirit" part, but I shut off the movie after Blackbeard mentioned a prophecy. QUIT WITH THE FRICKIN' PROPHECIES, HOLLYWOOD!!
It's upsetting that Robin Williams and Bob Hoskins passed away in the same year. Great actors. Enjoyable film, but even I admit it's flawed! The really whimsical moments do make me cringe! I always felt Spielberg was influenced from Beyond Thunderdome!
Most religions are actually against suicide, so if there is a paradise, chances are Robin won't be there. If christianity is true, Hitler will though as he was a devout christian!
+Hans Lübeck +TheTeslaEffect11 are you out of your head ? Hitler may have been a devout christian, but he f'n killed millions of people and himself. I highly doubt he is gonna beat Robin Williams to heaven.
As a film Hooks biggest weakness is the tone, its all over the place the tone. Like it sets itself out as a world of fluff and marshmallows but then you have Hook torturing one his pirates to death with scorpions and then later Hook stabs a kid through the heart and he stays dead, then it tries to go back to its fluffy tone. Steve you can't stab a 13 year old to death in your film then go back to smultz five minutes later.
I personally disagree. That torture scene you mentioned is our intro to Neverland. I think it's fair to remember that what we see of the real world is Peter as a neglectful father and the hurt he imposes on his family. The eternal child has grown up forgot himself in both his old and new identity. Even before the torture scene the scenes of the kids being taken and the reveal that it was Hook was one of the first movie moments in a non horror film to really creep me out. But Neverland is an actual Dream/fantasy land where those who live in it eventually just stop aging. Hook is still alive, well and at an age of some vigour despite being well over a hundred years old. We see Hook almost commity suicide because he cant kill his old enemy in top form! Its delivered in dry tongue in fashion but that's fucking dark! The presence of whimsy doesn't mean things can't get dark!
@@oxtheunlikelycontemplator2682 Hook threatening to blow Jo's brains out is played more for laughs. But I dont think you can have fluff and a kid being murdered in the same film. Or you cant go back to the fluff after that. Like Titanic dosent have Rose make joke that Billy Zane has a micropenis after the shot of the mum tucking her 7 years olds in to bed before they drown.
@@nifralo2752 I see where you're coming from but only up to a point The comparison you make to illustrate you're point is one of apples to oranges. Titanic is a fictionalization of a historical mass tragedy and romantic drama with its primary audience being older teens and adults. Hook is a family picture. It's utter fiction in a fantasy land setting. I think personally it does just enough to convey the titular villain as a real threat and that just because Neverland is a dream world doesn't mean everyone's making it out ok. I think not having a fun happy ending wouldn't make sense. The villain is vanquished for good and the kids are free to stay or leave Neverland as they choose and Peter has his family back. Nothing ever gets to be light or funny again because one character dies only works in a few specifics types of movie and this isn't one of them.
@@nifralo2752 I disagree. The killing of Rufio is probably the heaviest scene in the film, however even then, there’s no blood/gore or gratuitous violence. We don’t even see anything in the Boo Box scene! I loved this film as a little kid (obsessed with pirates) and both those scenes never seemed overly dark
"What the hell is Tinkerbell made off" 25 years of frustrated sexual urges... Also "Hook" was filmed and came into theaters in 1991 and Pan Am existed til december of that year, so .... it still was a thing and there were despite selling off a lot of European routes to other carriers still some daily flights to London (from Miami and Detroit)
Fun fact: Joseph Mazzello, who would later play Tim Murphy in "Jurassic Park", was considered for the role of Jack, but they said he was too young for the role at the time. If only the makers of "Rock-A-Doodle" had thought of that when they cast Toby Scott Ganger as Edmond.
+Danny Dolan That means there's only two options. CS ripped off NC, or you're an idiot. jk, it's only option B... because you're an idiot for using the "ripoff/copycat" card
It is amazing how little you notice the cheese when you are a kid. This movie is absolutely overflowing with it. I guess it is because everything is new to you as a child and it really only becomes cheese once you have seen it so many times and start to think more deeply about how manipulative the film is trying to be.
Yay, I missed this! By The Way. Yay First Nostalgia Critic and later Chris Stuckmann and later Cinema sins! Can it be better? Just waiting for an Honest Trailer now!
Krimson Klaww Wade Winston Wilson AKA Deadpool Merc with the Mouth: Insert your own ridiculous pointless Bee Movie Jerry Seinfeld meme joke here. We're too lazy to care less.
The best scene in the whole movie unmentioned xD (My finger is on the trigger. Don't try to stop me this time Smee, Don't try to stop me smee! "I wont." This it. Don't try to stop me Smee! Don't you dare try to stop me smee, try to stop me. Smee get up of your ass and get here!!! "I'm coming Captain" DO YOU THINK THIS IS A JOKE?!?!? I'M COMMITTING SUICIDE!!!!
Have to agree with Hicks. the skits started out as a means to an end because they weren't allowed to show new movie clips right away, so they did it themselves to avoid legal issues. But, now.. they've gotten a bit stale.
It's funny how Critic put in that part from "Mary Poppins" near the end, because Arthur Malet, who plays Tootles, also played Mr. Dawes Jr. in "Poppins".
Wait, Princess Leia made out with her world's God and still couldn't get her planet back? What a fucking ripoff. No wonder she became a badass general. (this is in reference to the Carrie Fischer kissing George Lucas thing in the review)
