Peter Pan is based on a series of books. The character of Captain Hook was based on a real person, though. In a small England town, a minister with a missing hand claimed to have lost it in an accident, but it was eventually discovered that he lost it in a sword battle as he had a long career as a pirate.

Personally I believe this was Disney's greatest works. It was a great challenge for the animators to animate them levitating like that and they pulled it off beautifully. I remember watching this with my paternal grandmother, who was Native American, and she actually sang the songs the natives sang in Kiowa. She was smart to remind me that this movie was made at a time where they didn't quite understand how much of an impact negative stereotypes against Native Americans were. But she wanted me to admire the beauty of the movie because she was a huge Disney fan. And this was one of my most favorite movies growing up. I guarantee you will love Hook but have some tissues ready because Robin Williams portrayal as Peter always makes viewers cry.

[@singer2be256]

I just recently realized there's no real tear-jerker scene in this film. That's kinda rare for Disney, even back then. I think either they should've made the scene with Tink nearly dying a bit longer or they could have Peter and Wendy say goodbye with heavy implications they they'd never meet again.

[@roo1014]

Fun Facts: The story of Peter Pan originally began as a play, and before that a novel. Walt Disney himself loved the play, he toured production of it once and even played the role of Peter Pan in one play of it, claiming that he was the most passionate actor to portray the character. The song "The Second Star to the Right" that plays when our characters are departing London was originally written for the movie "Alice in Wonderland."

[@matveynoname7083]

I know that

[@morganspider-manmarvelfan6110]

But it would make more sense to use the song in Peter Pan.

[@supersasukemaniac]

I think why Hook comes of as a cartoony villan, even in universe, is that the Sword fights with Peter where a game, then Peter took it to far when he fed his hand to the crocodile, so now, while he has a legitimate grudge, he's still playing a part in a way.

[@MrParkerman6]

Wrong!

It was a childhood favourite of mine and Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman churn in great performances! A really cool take on Peter Pans story!

[@CanadaDragon1]

Fun Fact: In 1960, 7 years after this film came out, NBC aired a televised musical of "Peter Pan", starring Mary Martin as Peter. Strangely enough, a 1924 film adaptation of "Peter Pan" had a woman play the role of Peter, Betty Bronson. The Disney animated film was the first time Peter was played by a boy, Bobby Driscoll.

Hey Nick! Loved the reaction. As for the ORIGINAL Peter Pan story, it's a whole lot darker. It wasn't magic that the lost boys didn't age. In the book when they started to age, Peter Pan would actually k*ll them

[@wdbisl]

Also its implied some of the pirates are lost boys who've escaped.

There's that story and then there's another one where the lost boys were already dead so they _couldn't_ age. Both of them are really disturbing when you think about it

And yes this movie is one of my favorites, though the portrayal of Native Americans as savages didn't age very well. They leave them out of the second movie, probably to dodge the minefield.

[@calebsanders7826]

Interesting fact: there were concept art showing that Nana actually traveled with Peter and the others to Neverland in a early version of the movie

[@jamesa.romano8500]

I also don't care how bad the portrayal of the natives may be, as a kid growing up there really weren't "that many" protagonists "of color" out there, and Tiger Lily always projected to me a sense of dignity and strength that was admirable and worthy of emulating. I can understand why so many people have issues with the depiction overall, but Tiger Lily herself really deserves more love (she's also the only character who isn't deliberately or outwardly mean to Wendy - we see her kissing Peter but its made pretty clear she's not aware of Wendy's feelings for him and that she's not doing it out of spite but out of gratitude).

Fun fact: In every Peter Pan play or movie, up until this movie, Peter Pan was ALWAYS portrayed by a female. It was a tradition. Disney BROKE that tradition when they made this movie, by finally letting Peter Pan himself be portrayed by a boy. Avatar: The Last Airbender followed up the female Peter Pan tradition in the “Ember Island Players” episode.

The correlation between the two Disney Peter Pan films is that the sequel centers around Wendy's daughter, Jane, going to Neverland. Feel free to re-react to that one if you want. "Return to Neverland" is definitely one of the better Disney sequels to occur (and one the few that actually released in theaters).

[@PixarShark]

Something you will find as a theme popping up in every Peter Pan adaptation I have seen is that Captain Hook and the father are always voiced/played by the same actor. This one is no exception! I find that a very interesting commentary on both of the characters and what it might say about the kids’ perception of things and I’m so glad it has been something that every adaptation has adopted. ❤️

[@GallifrAngel]

that’s always one of my favorite parts of Peter Pan lore, too!!

[@MrParkerman6]

That's cuz they are the same person!

[@jamesmoyner7499]

I still don’t have my ipad with all of the facts on it so here is what I am going by memory. So the voice of George Darling and Captain Hook is the same actor which is playing in tradition of the play where both were played by the same actor. Before the Disney film Peter Pan was always played by a woman including the most famous one being Mary Martin, In the original story Tinker Bell drinks poison meant for Peter and the people in the audience are supposed to clap their hands to keep her alive and Walt had wanted to implement that idea in the film, but wasn’t sure how to do it so it was scrapped. The voice of Wendy is the same actress of Alice in Alice in Wonderland and the voice of the mother here voiced her sister in Alice in Wonderland. In original story drafts for the film it was much darker and nana also went with the children to Neverland. One deleted song from the film that still ended up made is “Never Smile At A Crocodile” which would have played whenever Tick Tock Croc showed up: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kHjOlZamib5kh6s

[@wolffan1515]

In early drafts, Nana travels with Peter and the Darlings to Neverland. But the storyboards were also much darker than the final film. The movie also took almost 20 years to put together, mainly due to 6 years stalling development during WWII.

[@AlessaParker]

I actually watched this for the first time just last night (one of the few old Disney films that I didn't watch as a kid). holy crap Tink was a savage trying to get Wendy _killed_ over her jealousy and even looking smug about it. Like damn, Wendy is so forgiving when she's the one who didn't want Tink to be banished forever. From what I've read, it's not that Tink has romantic feelings for Peter, it's simply that she's afraid that Peter won't hang out with her anymore if another girl was in the picture.

[@MrParkerman6]

Wrong! She is completely in love with Peter Pan.

[@labyfan1313]

The parts with Hook and the crocodile, even as an adult make me laugh until I cry. Smee and Hook are so hilarious too. The expression on Hook's face after he gets hit on the head with the hammer, sitting in the chair with his feet in the tub getting scalded also kills me. I hope you do Hook with Robin Williams. Such a great movie.

[@nathancruz9172]

The facial similarities in the second film is because the main character, Jane, is Wendy's daughter.

[@TheCommenterDragon]

Yes, Peter Pan is yet another timeless Disney classic it's one of my all time favorites! in fact one of the many things i love most about Disney's Peter Pan is that since it was made in the 50's the animation was completely done by hand old fashion pencil drawings!..there aren't too many made like that anymore.

Captain Hook is actually my third favorite Disney villain--behind Hades and Yzma--and I even have a beautiful mug of him that I, almost, always use for hot chocolate. He's also one of the few Disney villains that I actually feel sorry for, and am kind of rooting for. Not saying he should kill Peter Pan, but I'm still Team Hook 100%. 😂

[@elenagrbic1756]

Seeing you watching those classics is like reliving childhood… Anyway, on to fun facts! The voice actress for Wendy is also voice actress for Alice from Alice in Wonderland. She served as model for animating both characters. In the original ‘Peter Pan’ play, Peter was originally portrayed by a woman. In here, his voice actor also served as model for animation. In the original play, Captain Hook and Mr. Darling were portrayed by same actor. This is also the case in this movie. Anyway, since you’re starting Peter Pan now, I’m glad you liked the second movie (personal favorite sequel) and I don’t know whether you’ll watch Hook, but please, consider watching 2003 live action too. It takes inspiration from the book in some ways. Take care, and hope you have a good day!!! 😁

No it wasn’t, it had already been done masterfully in Mary Poppins nearly ten years earlier, and pretty much since animation as we know it had been invented, like in The Alice Comedies of the 1920s

For answer to your questions, Wendy is 12 years old and in this times, having her own room means started to learn how to be a lady like her mother (so it explains why they're shocked). About the second movie, Wendy appears on it but as an adult and a mother of two children. It's her daughter Jane who goes to Neverland in this one. Also, the dog isn't the same but Nana's puppy because her name is Nana junior. I advice to, first to rewatch the second movie, but also watching the " Peter Pan " movie of 2003 (the relationship between Peter and Wendy is more clear) and " Neverland " who counts the story of James Matthew Barrie, the author of the original " Peter Pan " with Johnny Depp in the principal rôle.

Nick I just want to say we REALLY appreciate you, we love you and we'll always support you 💜

[@vixiestarfire]

The story of Peter Pan and this movie have always been one of my favorite things (the romanticized side of it, not the side of it where Peter is a cruel unfeeling child because if you’ve read the book you know how horrible that kid really is lol) but as a little girl I always loved the idea of Peter Pan coming to my window and letting me fly away with him, away from my problems and stuff yknow ☺️

[@Thedesertguy75]

This one for me is.simply the best. It cant be topped....the.animation,the.music, the story...I love it.

[@cmrobbins88]

The main girl in the sequel Peter Pan: Return to Neverland is Wendy’s daughter, Jane. Also if you want to see another amazing adaptation of Peter Pan, watch Hook starring Robin Williams and Dustin Hoffman.

[@AngelGroves]

Nick, this made my heart so happy! A true classic and a great reaction. Thank you for this!

[@valerievention]

This classic Disney movie has always been a favorite of mine- when I was 6 years old I had a Tinkerbell themed birthday party where the girls dressed as fairies and the boys as the lost boys. I think the most memorable part though was when my father dressed up as Captain Hook and chased us around 😂💚🧚‍♀️🏴‍☠️

[@WittyKittyRitzy]

The your mother and mine song always makes me cry 😭🤣

[@strawberrysoulforever8336]

The actress playing Wendy is Kathryn Beaumont, who was also the lead in Alice In Wonderland, two years prior to this role. If you listen carefully to Wendy's voice, she actually does sound like a slightly older Alice. Another note - did you notice Tiger Lily had a more realistic skin tone than her tribe? The movie's portrayal of Native Americans (although to be fair, they aren't totally real because they come from Neverland) came under huge controversy. It doesn't help by saying their skin is red because the first one blushed and it made their genetics change to blush all the time. I just see it as a period piece and as a kid, never really took the Indians seriously as a portrayal of any native tribes, but almost 70 years later, you know that this would not fly today. Also, to be fair, Tinker Bell didn't sell out her best friend completely. She first insisted Captain Hook not harm Peter, but he used the Exact Words and didn't touch him. In the book, it was a poisoned cake she ate to stop him from eating it himself, but the movie changed it to a bomb.

[@matveynoname7083]

I don't know why, but my favorite villains are pre-Disney renaissance villains, like for exam. Captain Hook, Shere-Khan, Cruella, Maleficent, Chernobog and others.

[@reddragoon2423]

Wendy is the mother in the second one, thats why she looks familier

[@ambiian]

I know how much you love the scores in movies, so you will definitely love the score in the 2003 live-action! It's so beautiful, it's one that has really stuck with me throughout the years 😍 I remember first watching it when I was around 6 years old, I am now 24 and still adore it just as much!

[@evancredeur7498]

Tinkerbell's actually my favourite character. I get it with the Wendy bird thing, I get that was messed up, but I like how she redeemed in the end. It would've been better if Wendy's kindness had been the cause of her change of heart instead of a bomb.

[@KutieDragon]

Two things I'd like to say about this movie: One; there is this very subtle joke Smee says during the scene where he's about to give Captain Hook a clean shave, that until a couple of years ago, I hadn't picked up on. Smee has just shooed away Tick Tock Croc(that's the croc's name btw) and he says, "they'll be no hand outs today." It's such dry humor but, I love it. 😂 And two; speaking of the croc, there is a deleted song from this movie that I highly recommend having a listen to sometime. Well technically, the tune was used in the film but, the version with the lyrics was not. Anyway It's called, "Never Smile at a Crocodile." I should specify because I guess there is a "restored version." Look up the OST version, not that one. That being said, I get a bit of a chuckle out of it every time I listen to it.

[@salvadorlevario]

Honestly Peter Pan has always been one of my faves as a character and I understand the never wanting to grow up thing

[@abbyalexander8375]

Another Peter Pan movie is called "Hook" with Robin Williams, you should watch that also! It's an amazing take on the peter pan story

[@legendoflex6881]

An interesting theory I heard once was that Captain Hook and the other pirates used to be some of Peter Pan's lost boys. It's a very dark theory based off the books that Peter Pan's lost boys unlike him are not immortal like him. That Pan remains a child by taking the lives of children when they get too old. So the theory goes that sometimes the children he tries to kill escape from him and continue to grow up and they became pirates together. It also explains Captain Hook and his crew's great devotion to taking out Pan and the Lost Boys. Cause any of the children that follow Pan are then supporting their attempted murder that has killed hundreds of other children. It is also why Captain Hook offered to have the children join his crew. He isnt interested in hurting innocents, but if you support the murderer then you are a threat to his only real family....not sure how much I buy into it, but it is interesting none the less and kinda makes me feel bad that Pan tramatized him by feeding his hand to that crocodile that is constantly looking to devour the rest of him!👀👀👀🤷‍♀️

[@Xk8rsx]

Idk if you’ve watched Hook but you MUST! Also the live action Peter Pan movie is real good…Wendy is the mother of the girl in the sequel…case no one mentioned it lol 😂

[@Moonbeamchild8]

Here’s how the rights for this one worked. Over 100 years ago a guy named James Barry wrote a play called Peter Pan. It was so popular that he wrote a book called Peter and Wendy and a couple other books in a series. However, he did not wish to keep the rights for himself. Instead he made sure all the proceeds went to the Great Ormond Street hospital for children. Even after the copyright for his book expired, the British government campaigned to make sure that the Great Ormond Street Hospital continued to receive benefits from any remake of a Peter Pan story.

[@fruitlion8]

The Crocodile's eyes were my favourite part of the film, I love when animation matches the music in such a funny way!

[@nerdalicos]

I totally would love to see you watch the peter pan 2 and live action peter pan (2003) it’s really good! ❤️

[@toogzboggs6344]

One of my childhood favs. Honestly shocked you hadn’t seen it yet.

[@trevorbarker6695]

The crocodile and the octopus have things in common whereas they have catchy tunes when they come around Hook knowing they’re coming.

[@EmilyGloeggler7984]

Hans Conreid as Captain Hook is easily one of the funniest Disney villain portrayals ever and Smee is absolutely adorable as his Toadie. :P The crocodile, though, is for the win. :P

[@a.t.m873]

Love this film. Thanks for checking it out. Fun Fact: the first song second star to the right used the melody from a deleted song from Alice in wonderland called beyond the laughing sky

[@whitevine9544]

I haven't seen Disney's Peter Pan in years, but remembered it well. I don't remember the second one as well because I haven't seen it as many times, but there are things I remember from it. I would love to see you react to it all these years later and refresh my memory in the process. I love seeing you react to the Disney movies I grew up on and love.

[@dcemerald70]

I’m glad you enjoyed this film. I understand you have been told many of the origins of the story Peter Pan. I don’t know if you knew this, when every time someone performed the production of Peter Pan a portion of money that is paid to for the license goes straight to the Children’s Great Ormond Hospital. I used to watch this movie a lot growing up. And I’ve watched about every film adaptions of this wonderful story. I’ve been in 2 stage adaptions of this story. My favorite character has always been Smee. If you can there is a film recording of the original musical production that the author J.M. Barrie wrote that stars Mary Martin. There’s also full version starring Cathy Rigby. Also the dog Nana is actually based on the authors own Saint Bernard. One of the shows I did which was written by our director, we actually had a person play both the dog Nana and Mr. Barrie’s own dog. Because we had him narrating as if he was writing the story before our own eyes. 💚💛🏴‍☠️⚔️🧚🏻

[@christinakramer1159]

Cyril Ritchard is the greatest Captain Hook.

[@merkerb]

For some reason Many people miss the fact that the same actor provides the voice for the father and Captain Hook

[@rysingsun4693]

Looking forward to your reaction to the sequel! My nostalgia has me biased, but it's one of my favorite Disney movies. We owned it so I have no idea how many times I've watched it. My mom could probably vouch that it was a lot.

[@HobGungan]

It's amazing how much I adore the Hook stuff and am actively repelled by everything else. EDIT: Okay, that's not fair. It's not *EVERYTHING* else, it's just Peter's personality and that of the Lost Boys, the depiction of indigenous people, and a few plot elements

[@jessicaable5095]

Really sweet thing about the author of the original book was that he gifted the rights and royalties of Peter Pan to London's Great Ormand Street Children's Hospital. That's who Disney was thanking in the credits so I expect they got a fair amount from this movie.

[@MrParkerman6]

He was also a Pedophile along with Alice in Wonderland's author, Charles Dodgeson( Lewis Carroll).

[@Jeetaruey]

You're not mistaken about the second one. Jane (the main girl of the second) is taken to Neverland because she is mistaken to be Wendy due to how much they look alike.

[@pokemonfanthings4444]

Your reactions are very pure and nice to witness

[@alexaforgionedisneygirl13423]

Thank you so much

[@megacrashthehedgehog5377]

This movie was made back in a time when Disney with a bit of darker material, at least by their standards, and some content that "of the time" as some might say. That being said, this is still one of my all-time favorite movies due to the pure sense of wonder it gives me.

[@SpacialRend7]

I always watched Peter Pan growing up. Learning about how this film was made by Walt Disney and his team made me appreciate and enjoy it. Peter Pan is a fun-filled adventure with a lot of laughs and swashbuckling action. Captain Hook is actually my favorite character because he’s funny and is a cool Disney villain. His moments with Tick Tock, the crocodile are the greatest in my opinion, makes me laugh every time. Thanks for another Disney film reaction Nick, always appreciate it!😁

[@MrParkerman6]

The Croc's name isn't Tic Tok.
