I HAVE AN APOSTROPHE!! HOOK MOVIE REACTION | FIRST TIME WATCHING

[@NiaMakiReacts]

Hey all! This was filmed so long ago, 😂 we can see how far we’ve come haha! Anywho full length is here: www.patreon.com/posts/93005922?

[@amyjordan195]

Don't worry, Tink is not a grown woman. She is a fairy. Because she is so small, she only has room for one feeling at a time. Remember when she said it was the first time she had been big enough to have that big feeling?

[@willwilliamson9580]

dustin hoffman in this role is perfection.

[@plothole181]

The memory thing was an important part of the novel. Not only was there an entire section about how Wendy had to work really hard to keep her brothers from forgetting their family back home while they were in Neverland (and she wasn't even sure if she was succeeding because she was forgetting too), but there was also a running thing of Peter forgetting people the second he was out of sight. Wendy and her brothers were almost lost on the trip to Neverland because Peter went off for a minute and forgot that he was in the middle of showing them the way. He had to be reminded.

[@louielouie22]

I absolutely loved this movie and always will.

[@michellesmith4570]

Most arent aware that Glenn Close is the one, dressed as a man, a pirate, standing next to Peter Pan on the ship, is the one put in the chest " the boom box" with the scorpions dropped in on her. Close was friends with Williams, visited the set one day and was chosen to play this particular male/Pirate.

[@richardzinns5676]

Peter could not reconnect with his parents in the present, because he spent so much time in Neverland that by the time he came back they would certainly have been dead. Peter was born in the Victorian era, after all. (In fact, although Barrie wrote the original play, and later novel, about Peter Pan in the very early years of the 20th century, he had already introduced the character of Peter about ten years earlier, before the turn of the century, in a novel called The Little White Bird.)

[@AtomikaBlerd]

So, funny story about this movie. I got it on VHS, yes that old, as a kid for Christmas one year. I watched it from Christmas Day till New Years on repeat. Non-stop. My parents were thrilled when I went back to school to not have to see it anymore.

[@NiaMakiReacts]

Lmaooooo!!!! It sounds so cute but yeah I bet ur parents didn’t think that 😂 😂

[@axr7149]

FYI: The pirate put into the boo box is none other than 8-times Oscar nominated actress Glenn Close. Glenn shares the unfortunate record for most acting Oscar nominations by any actor or actress to never win, a record she shares with Peter O'Toole.

[@royjoseph9938]

Phil Collins as the Brit Detective makes me happy.

[@denanebergall5514]

And Glenn Close as the guy that gets put in the "Boo Box."

[@xKagryx]

And David Crosby and Jimmy Buffet are pirates!

[@andrewtobin2560]

I've always loved this 🪝 💚

[@LordVolkov]

The pirates are disillusioned Lost Boys who grew up but are still trapped in Neverland... but with the way time and memory work they've forgotten all of it. Tink is a serial kidnapper 😬 I enjoy the theory that Hook was either an early Lost Boy or possibly a proto-Peter Pan (which is why he now leads the ex-Lost Boy pirates).

[@WilliamMoses355]

Jamie Hanshaw did a lengthy analysis connecting Peter Pan and the Greek god Pan, that might interest you, if you like a darker take on these movies. 2 parts, total 5 hours, on KZbin. They cover Pan's Labyrinth too, and the creepiness of J.M. Barrie.

And I read that she took the little role on a whim, just to have some fun.

[@TeroTheShortOne]

I am in my 40s and the Boo Box still scares the ever-loving F out of me.

[@sspdirect02]

It breaks my heart that Steven Spielberg wasn't pleased with his work on the film.

[@NiaMakiReacts]

He wasn’t?! Wow, it was great!!!

[@otakuwolf4ever985]

Hook's hand must've been EXTTREMELY tasy for the croc to come back from the dead to get the rest of him.

[@bryce253]

Tink is a fairy....she isn't a human so you can't think of her in the human age development way. Now you are so right with the subliminal messages peppered throughout the movie. The brilliance is that it works as a kid's fantasy, but the movie messages are clearly aimed at adults. You have to have adult context for them to hit. The line of Captain Hook telling Peter that he really wasn't Peter Pan and he would wake up to his old reality is brilliant. It's almost like a break in the fourth wall as if Hook was speaking directly to the adult audience. It's like he's saying that we can escape our reality temporarily and be reminded of our childhood through the movie but when we leave we will be hit with the reality of our adult lives. But the message of the movie and Peter Pan in general is that we always have the ability ro hold that inner child with us and always have that childlike wonder and imagination even when we grow up is we choose to remember it and make it an active part of ourselves. Never forget the child inside. The innocence and wonder of being a child is a precious gift at any stage of life. You can maintain balance.

[@thatguy1477]

Still love this movie, reminder to the adults not to forget their inner child

[@lmr1922]

I have a nephew whose one dream is to be a dad. His dream car is a mini van to hold all his family. It is why he wants to grow up.

Best reaction I’ve ever seen to this movie. You did my favorite movie very well and I love your analyzations and attention to detail. And I love your tears, for I thought I was the only one to tear up at those parts!

[@Blaiyan]

The adventures of Rufio. I could've liked some of his stories. Great, fun movie. Didn't hook say he hates being in neverland? So why did he go to the outside world then back? 🤔

[@DavidWright1138]

There's a prequel short here on KZbin.

[@Blaiyan]

@DavidWright1138 I'll look for it. Thanks

[@andersthomsen3409]

55:45 soo... since he doesn't age when he's in Neverland, and his parents are at the very least 5-10 years (+the time from him leaving his parents to he meets Wendy) older than Wendy, and Wendy is 92 in the movie, it VERY fair to assume that Peter's parents are long dead... and it's not even a stretch to assume that his sibling is also dead...

[@hyicrotai9801]

What sibling?

[@thedragon133]

@@hyicrotai9801 The one the parents had after Peter.

[@putinscat1208]

This is a great movie, but I feel like Spielberg had a hard time trying to decide to appeal to kids or adults. Still better than much of what comes out these days.

[@StevePaur-hf4vy]

They were not siblings. They were orphans.

[@Trikeboy2]

At the start, when Tinkerbell takes Peter back to Neverland, she flies over a couple kissing on a bridge. She drops fairy dust on them and they start to fly. That couple is played by George Lucas and Carrie Fisher of Star Wars fame. Also, Julie Roberts was so notorious on set that she got the nickname Tinkerhell.

[@zvimur]

19:32, I see the concept influence. The funny thing is... it's Zuko!!😂

[@redviper6805]

Somebody give me a hand. Hook: I already have 😆

[@Andrew.Ehrhardt]

Wait is the pilot over the intercom Hook?

[@NiaMakiReacts]

Wait was it??

[@MJScrivens89]

@@NiaMakiReactsit was definitely Dustin Hoffman. There is something of a tradition of the actor portraying Hook also playing another character, not unlike how in The Wizard of Oz most of the actors from the farm end up portraying characters in Oz. In the Disney cartoon, the same actor played Hook and Mr Darling, the children’s father. Dustin Hoffman doing the pilot’s announcement could be seen as a nod to that mini tradition. I also love Phil Collins playing the detective. It’s so out of the blue but he does a decent job of it.

What an amazing expansion of a classic story. Dustin Hoffman and Bob Hoskins have such great chemistry and I just love how they play Hook & Smee as an old gay couple 🥰

When Peter cut off hooks hand, the alligator ate it and wanted more hook to eat. The gator also ate a clock. So every tike it tried to eat him hook hears a cocktail tick. Bealcause of that he has a fear of gators and clocks

You should read the book of Peter Pan to understand better. The movie isn’t enough.

It's a fading memory but i can recall watching this movie for the first time at home w/ my parents and siblings on VHS at the first house i lived in.

[@davidkopp8945]

I really like watching your reactions but in movies like this, let your imagination take the lead !!!!

[@rafm3068]

What happens in Neverland should always stay in Neverland! lol

[@couseigotthis]

I don't think there's any chance his parents are still alive. He had already been in Neverland for quite a while when he met Wendy and she and Tudles were children back then.

[@VotingBlue2024]

Hook has been a favorite of mine since very early childhood. Watching it as a kid is definitely different than watching as an adult but just as good, if not but with an additional tinge of sadness because you understand what Peter has lost in his own life but also what most adults have lost in the process of growing up. That being said - Peter's parents are long dead and could not reconnect with them at this point. He was born before 1900 and the movie takes place in 1991 (when it came out). He is actually older than Wendy is so his parents would be much older than she is.

[@michaelzabala4850]

Sorry for my late response. Actually, according to one of the Peter Pan story books, I believe she was in love with him. I saw this movie when it first came out in theaters in 1991. I was 9 years old at the time. I feel old now lol. Great movie reaction by the way.

[@zeezee9670]

@38:41 _Plot Twist: Tinkerbell gets over him (Peter) and hooks up with Captain Hook._ =) I appreciate the trwist but that's a bit long & redundant. Lets try another: *Peter falls beyond any Tinker so she Hooks up.*

[@knowledge-girl]

The first line in the book is "All children, except one, grows up" which suggests that the Lost Boys grow up to become pirates which is rather horrifying in hindsight. A lot of the Lost Boys went to England with Wendy, Michael, and John and grew up in the real world.

[@SpyGenesis]

This is the best movie from my childhood that made me appreciate Robin Williams as an actor

[@NiaMakiReacts]

Every single movie I’ve seen of his has been so full of emotion and amazing!

[@crapstirrer]

Funny you should mention ATLA's Jet. Patreon probably told you already but Rufio grew up to be the voice of Zuko.

He sounds the exact same even as an adult 😂

To understand this movie, you have to understand the story of Peter Pan. In this movie Robin Williams plays lawyer Peter Banning. Unknown to him he is the Peter of Peter Pan fame and Wendy is the little girl he visits at the window each night.

[@richardbeaton7324]

Check out the original Disney movie .. Bare in mind it was made in the 1950's when watching the Native American scenes ... eeeshh ... Apart from that it's such a good movie.

I wonder if you caught the fact that captain James hook is Peter Pan's dad. When hook kidnapped Peter pan's kids he was actually kidnapping his grandkids. Makes sense. He showed so much joy turning the grandson into a pirate. Cheers from Ohio

[@NiaMakiReacts]

That’s makes so much sense and I totally didn’t catch that when watching 😂 I’m realizing u put a wig on and I suddenly stop recognizing people 🤣

[@Natedawgg84]

Say what? 30 years and I ain't never knew that! 😮

[@lancevance60]

Pretty sure that's wrong.

[@joshuasharrock466]

@lancevance60 There's a scene right after peter pan remembers how to fly when he flies up the captain hook... He says I remember my happy thought and it was you. It was right after the scene where he said his happy thought was being a father. They made it really subtle, but it's his dad. To go even deeper, It would seem the reason hook Hated peter pan Is because he wanted him to be a pirate. Peter pan saw that as growing up. There was a scene in the beginning of the movie, Peter was talking to wendy about his job and she said oh my gosh Peter you became a pirate. I love how they used to make movies

[@xKagryx]

⁠@@joshuasharrock466he flies up to Jack in that scene, who is dressed in a copy of Captain Hooks clothes. He’s telling Jack that his happy thought was him, Jack, his son, i.e. becoming Jacks father which we saw in the memory scene. He’s not telling Hook that he’s Peter’s happy thought. It’s confusing because they’re dressed the same and we aren’t shown his face in that shot, but the shot immediately before he says it established he was talking to Jack. For what it’s worth I used to think the same thing when I was a kid because the full screen version of the movie made it hard to tell. But from the deleted scenes Peter does have a father and the actor is def not Dustin Hoffman.
