I still can't believe Spielberg considers this film a disappointment. This movie made my childhood magical and I still love it today. The scene when he flies out of the tree is iconic!
What will it be like if the film was never a disappointment in the first place? What if it was praised by critics and was a blockbuster hit with everybody? What if Steven Spielberg loved it as one of his best movies he ever worked on? That would be amazing.
I saw this movie in theaters as a child. I was spellbound throughout the whole film. It was a HUGE part of my childhood. It held the same court as 89 Batman and 90's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It was a movie perfectly catered to our generation. I'd have to go with Pleastendub on why Spielberg would ever consider this movie even close to being a disappointment. He was far to critical on himself like most artists are. I'm sure if he was presented with the opinions and views of those of us that grew up with this movie as a part of of childhood joy he'd see his work in a much different light.
And to think. The reason this movie was made was because the writer’s child asked a random question about what if Peter Pan grew up. So I’ll say thank you to the writer’s kid.
If there ever is a hook reboot *and lets be honest they will and fuck it up* it will never be the same because i don't see Robin Williams playing the character i see a adult peter pan.
Hook was actually not liked by Critics in 91 I remember seeing this in theaters when I was 7 and it had a bad rating at the time so the critics have nothing to do with it, it is just lazy writing and the greatest Actors,Directors,Writers have all retired or died and their kids don't even have half of their talent hopefully a new generation of brilliant Actors,Directors and Writers are born soon because we haven't seen them yet.
I have no idea why Spielberg constantly says he dislikes this film. It's great. Well acted, beautiful set decorations, costume and design, the fairy tale atmosphere works and the music is epic. And it's an extremely hard sell if you think about it. Non cynical, non ironic story about Robin Williams being an adult Peter Pan. And it works. Hell of a movie.
The movie has its moments but its bloated and gets unfocused at times. Case in point, the whole Tinker Bell being in love with Peter subplot was completely unnecessary.
@@Downerfunk That may have been fine for the animated film. But it's oddly squeezed into this movie and has no real payoff or purpose. It's as if they just wanted to give Julia Roberts more screen time or it's written in her contract to have an onscreen kiss with the hero. It was unnecessary.
Gotta give Rufio much respect. Peter had left the lost boys and Rufio took on the responsibility of protecting them. He did a great job keeping them safe all that time. It makes sense why Peter chose him in the first place.
@@YTWarrior100 then how did Rufio have his sword? I’m not saying they didn’t feel abandoned but I believe Peter came and told them he was leaving and gave him his sword and told him to look after the lost boys
Aladdin, Mrs. Doubtfire, and Hook. I grew up with these films and I think Robin Williams was the first actor I could identify because of how much I watched them. He was a huge part of my childhood and I wish I could have met him in person just to thank him for all the joy he brought to me and my siblings growing up. RIP Robin Williams. I hope you found your happy thoughts.
100% agree. And Jumanji! I feel like I'm still missing several. Obviously he's amazing in movies like Patch Adams, Dead Poets Society, etc., but the three you mentioned + Jumanji are movies my brothers and I watched constantly as kids (I was born in 1988) and still quote all the time to this day. Jack is also an incredibly underrated movie that fit Williams perfectly. The guy just had this amazing, child-like way about him that made kids everywhere fall in love with him. I genuinely cried when Robin Williams died for that reason. So many laughs and so much joy that my family and I still laugh about every time we see each other.
"Oh Captain my Captain.." You were a visitor from a strange world.. You dressed up as a woman and we loved you for it.. You spoke to a nation with your vibrant comedy over the radio.. You were a boy once lost now found... a brilliant inventor and an intense psychopath... A child in a man's body, and a brilliant comedian.. You will always have a place in my top 5 comedians list and I thank you for your brilliant work... I wont say goodbye, but I will say.. till we meet again... R.I.P..
Eternaldarkness3166 great tribute to Robin. He was so great. I think in all of his movies there is always values and fears about his real life. Really hard miss
This is truly the most amazing movie ever. It touches on literally every subject, so intimately. Hook being afraid of time and envying Pan, Rufio feeling abandoned, Pan growing and losing sight of himself, it’s a masterpiece.
Right when Peter stops falling, hearing the wind, then, the music ques. You see that cunning, joyful grin on his face (best shot). Rewound this part too many times as a kid! It is truly remarkable. So joyful and heartwarming. Full-eyed, goosebumps.
What makes it special is that with that smile, and with John Williams’ score behind it-it says that Peter isn’t Banning anymore. He is Peter Pan once more! 😀😃
0:26 is one of the coolest things I've ever seen. The music makes it so much better too. This movie is absolutely beautiful and full of magic. I miss Robin so much....
It's another great score by the master. And that sounds so underwhelming, but honestly, John Williams IS just the best film composer of all times. And I am saying that in an age when we've had Howard Shore, James Horner, Jerry Goldsmith, Hans Zimmer, Danny Elfman and Vangelis. They've all made amazing scores, but not at such a consistent rate and over such a long period of time as John Williams. PLUS, they all are iconic. Apart from virtually every Star Wars theme, most people who've heard them would probably instantly recognize the Superman Theme, at least three themes from this film, Harry Potter Theme, Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park, and many other themes of these films AND would probably be able to hum them. This, I think, is an unparalleled achievement. I'm positiv a couple of hundred years from now, his works will be played in concerts like Mozart, Bach and Beethoven today.
fgdj2000 your welcome, I showed my son this clip the other day. He is 5 years old and he loves it. But I enjoy reading and learning new things especially from intelligent writers. Good day sir
Perhaps my favourite scene from any movie ever. When he flies out of the tree - epic. Then he reaches the peak and flexes back down. Unforgettable. How I wished that was me as a kid (and still now). 😂
It's so hard to watch this and not cry. I grew up with this movie and made me admire Robin Williams for a long tinme. When I heard he died I was devastated by it. R.I.B. Robin, we love and miss you.
0:43 the Magic!!!!! Thanks John Williams remembering my difficult childhood....when the movies were the only things that made you dreamed !Song direct to ❤
I remember this scene from when i was a kid an i loved it... a happy thought could make anyone fly, even if u got older you could fly again.. now im older and this doesn't make me fly but it does lift me up when I'm felling low :)
It is literally insane that Spielberg considers this one of his worst films. In my eyes, and, from the sound of it, the eyes of many, it’s his absolute best. Goes to show you the subjective nature of art. Bangarang. Forever.
Gets me chills every time I watch this seen. Was a huge Peter Pan nerd as a kid having the costume, toy and love the 1953 movie and Hook. Robin was truly Peter Pan in real life
I remember when Robin passed and some of my friends didn’t understand why it hit me so hard. They didn’t realize a huge part of my childhood died because he is my generations Peter Pan. I’m 37 so I was 6 when this came out. I had never seen anything cooler in my entire life. Forever grateful Robin gave us such a gift
Still can't watch Hook, even 20 lbs years later, without laughing, crying, and getting shivers. This movie always reminds me of my childhood. NOBODY but Robin Williams could have done this role right. God, we wish Robin was still with us, but please take care of him up there.
I cry when I watch this scene. It makes me think of Robin Williams. I miss you, Robin! You will always be one of my favorite actors I will never forget. (Cries)
One of my earliest childhood memories was seeing this movie in the theatres. My dad wore the same glasses and suite everyday to work. I literally thought my dad was the Pan. And I was so pleased by that thought. He just NOW learned of this and asked me…… “Wait, so was I Pan or the Hook?” God bless my dad 😅🙏🏽💙
Jojo717 This movie was my childhood and I absolutely hated it. I've always preferred the Disney Peter Pan, The Broadway Peter Pan with Cathy Rigby, the 2003/2004 Peter Pan film, and Peter Pan Live.
The scene of Peter Pan flying through the clouds was my dream as a kid for years. I would imagine what it would be like to fly through the sky like him in that scene. Little did I know that dream would come true. I got certified as a skydiver and I was born and raised in Hawaii. I live that dream dream now and fly over Hawaii and skydive. Seeing this scene made me “remember” and reminded me when I was a kid and would watch this scene and think I could only do it in my dreams. If you haven’t skydived it doesn’t feel like your falling it feels like flying! No Falling sensation. Pretty emotional for me seeing this scene again. You earth dwellers have no idea.
I cry with this scene every time... I never got to say thank you to Robin before his passing. I wish I could have met him and thanked him for all his great work that made my and many others' childhoods
So. Much. Nostalgia. I will always love this movie. Watching it as an adult.. the fact that Peter begins this journey as an absent, angry father and ends up flying again because of the realization that his children are his happy thought is so great and emotional. I know Spielberg isn’t super proud of this film, but it will always be one of the greats for me.
Literally my favorite movie scene of all time from my childhood. The music, the acting, the superb timing all bring this scene together in perfect harmony. RIP Robin Williams......
The whole film is magical, the whole sequence of Peter remembering and flying up into the sun is a stand out moment. But I reckon that the moment Rufio recognises Peter as the true leader and authority figure and humbles himself before Pan and how Peter bows before Rufio and recognises him as a leader too is the most magical moment of all. It takes real men of honour and integrity to do that. Just magical.
For us kids that grew up in the 90s, I know this film is unforgettable but it still feels so underrated. This scene always give me goosebumps. It's joy, it's fun, it's epic. And when Robin crows as Pan, you believe he is perfect for this and he was. They thought of everything when they made Hook. The film is perfect and this scene is perfect.
The blocking in the scene where Pan picks up the sword from Rufio, brilliant!! You get to see the reverence in Rufio's eyes which makes Peter Pan all the more out-of-this-world! Ugh! The feels!!
This movie so badly deserves a critical reassessment because Robin, Dustin, and Julia made this movie magical for many kids, not to mention a legendary score by the 🐐 of cinematic music himself.
This movie is sooo underrated... or rather underrecognized.. overlooked by so many.. And yet this movie is soooo beautiful! I showed it to my kids already and they reaaly loved it!
The thing that I love about this movie is just that the idea is so clever and original of asking the question "what if Peter Pan grew up?" And I just love that idea so much cause to this day this is the one and only movie that every asked that question and I think that's amazing. I can't watch this movie and not smile at all the great parts to it. God i miss Robin watching it though.
It strikes me all of a sudden how much tragedy there is connected to Peter Pan's character. I'm not just thinking of Robin Williams, also Bobby Driscoll dying unidentified, all the way back to Peter Llewellyn Davies who James Barrie based Peter on, who threw himself under a train. There's something about the whole legend that makes the sadness of real life clearer.
I think one thing that made Williams perfect for roles like this was that underlying sadness. There was a sense of pathos to his performances, which made the highs (like the one in this scene) shine all the more, the sun coming through the clouds. God bless you, Robin Williams. You are missed and remembered.
I was born in 2000 and this movie and this scene in particular is amazing. The score by john Williams, the great acting and the awesome cinematography, just makes it all amazing.
The BEST film of my childhood. The amount of dressup sword fights I had with cousin as Hook/Pan can't be counted. One of the greatest films ever made and the soundtrack is legendary...... Hook for life!
0:26 - perfect sound to this whole movie, seen this over 1,000 times and gosh still to this day when it plays out on the Sony Movie Channel on freeview I always set a reminder so I never miss this fabulous movie
I still can't believe Spielberg considers this film a disappointment. This movie made my childhood magical and I still love it today. The scene when he flies out of the tree is iconic!
What will it be like if the film was never a disappointment in the first place? What if it was praised by critics and was a blockbuster hit with everybody? What if Steven Spielberg loved it as one of his best movies he ever worked on? That would be amazing.
Mine as well. Most late 1980s born kids love it.

Artists never truly are satisfied with their work.
Growing with this on VHS was great
When Peter (Robin) is soaring over the clouds with pure joy on his face, my heart soars with him. RIP Robin.
Yea. Sure. Whatever.
@@unsinnkim3690 Let people enjoy things you wanker.
@@unsinnkim3690 fuckhead
So true!!!!
And John William's powerful, emotional, and enchanting score goes along so well with what's happening on-screen. Truly incredible.
And to think. The reason this movie was made was because the writer’s child asked a random question about what if Peter Pan grew up. So I’ll say thank you to the writer’s kid.
It was Steven Spielberg’s kid
@@thelegend_jlz Which Wife is his mom is it Willie Scott's kid
Yess
Actually it was Nick Castle's kid so thank the son of Michael Myers.
For me personally, Robin Williams is Peter Pan, and this scene is how I will remember him.
Same. And I say Robin Williams is the Genie.
Rufio was like “peace out” at the end.
He’s Peter Pan and his friend Christopher Reeve is Superman.
Same for Jeremy Sumpter as Peter Pan. You can't beat them
If there ever is a hook reboot *and lets be honest they will and fuck it up* it will never be the same because i don't see Robin Williams playing the character i see a adult peter pan.
why cant we have movies like this anymore
Because everyone says they're crap and not worth making. Screw the critics.
+ComicPhreak yeah your right the critcs are the ones think every movie is bad
Because sexual intercourse is the main trend of this new age generation of imbeciles.
Hook was actually not liked by Critics in 91 I remember seeing this in theaters when I was 7 and it had a bad rating at the time so the critics have nothing to do with it, it is just lazy writing and the greatest Actors,Directors,Writers have all retired or died and their kids don't even have half of their talent hopefully a new generation of brilliant Actors,Directors and Writers are born soon because we haven't seen them yet.
Because this generation would rather eat tide pods...

Its because of critics
The movie has its moments but its bloated and gets unfocused at times. Case in point, the whole Tinker Bell being in love with Peter subplot was completely unnecessary.
You must have not watched the animated film where Tinkerbell shows clear jealously of Peter showing attention to Wendy
Jealousy*

@@negotiator96 Good call.
To the critics, mixed reviews. To us who grew up with this film, Our complete childhood ❤️
I was born after this film was made and I still consider it a classic, always will 👍
Same for me. Born in late 90's. The first Time I saw it was on videotape. When Social Media hadn't existed yet including iPhones and cellphones
Definitely my childhood and the music when he remembers makes me want to cry when I remember my good old days

We will also never have a friend like him ever again in our lives.
He also made our wishes come and taught us that you can't run from what you're afraid of.
Too good for this world. Went back to heaven where he belongs. Adore this film
can't watch this without crying. what a huge loss we took when Robin Williams passed on. this one of my favorite films growing up. miss him so much.
Jason Louis I prefer thinking that he has returned to Neverland and met lost children forever
I can’t stop crying either
I saw this as a toddler in the early 90s and think it instilled the joys of flying in me. I'm now an airline pilot.

Just an amazing score, it's like the brass and strings sections are dueling.
Ryan David
That's John Williams for you. Always bringing life and magic to all his amazing music scores.
I will never forget this scene. I was thinking of the 1953 Peter Pan movie & seeing this scene was like Peter Pan is back!!!!
John Williams and Spielberg together = fantastic childhood
And adulthood
26 films
3 decades
1 partnership
That says a lot about them
Don't forget the final variable that made this so enjoyable and memorable, Robin Williams.
One of John Williams' greatest movie scores. The music here never fails to give me chills.
God bless Robin Williams and this beautiful movie my childhood. I still have the vhs version .
Gets me chills every time I watch this seen. Was a huge Peter Pan nerd as a kid having the costume, toy and love the 1953 movie and Hook. Robin was truly Peter Pan in real life
being born in the 90's was amazing because of movies like this
Try being born in the late 80s and being able to see it on the big screen
very true lol
I remember when Robin passed and some of my friends didn’t understand why it hit me so hard. They didn’t realize a huge part of my childhood died because he is my generations Peter Pan. I’m 37 so I was 6 when this came out. I had never seen anything cooler in my entire life. Forever grateful Robin gave us such a gift
Wow my chilhood was amazing
I was 5 when this movie came out in theaters. It is indeed a childhood gem
Mine too
Indeed
Mine was too, sir.
What a great film, this is one of many scenes that are simply amazing. The way Peter and Ruffio come to respect each other. Classic.
They sure don't make movies like this anymore ❤ RIP Robin Williams
Peter smiling as he's flying above the clouds.....Robin had such an amazing smile
I don’t care what you say this is the best movie seen ever 🥺❤️
I agree...a classic
Still can't watch Hook, even 20 lbs years later, without laughing, crying, and getting shivers. This movie always reminds me of my childhood. NOBODY but Robin Williams could have done this role right. God, we wish Robin was still with us, but please take care of him up there.
I saw this when I was 7. This scene had me so excited in the cinema.
It is a perfect example of movie magic.
How he flies in this movie, i fly the same way when I lucid dream. Pure joy.
That's funny because I've had inception and could actually control myself while flying but didn't know it was a dream until I woke up.
@@MikeSerota ive had exactly the same experience
@@judeanderson5894 Not surprising. There is a video somewhere on the internet that mentions a face thousands of people have seen in their dreams.
Still brings tears to my eyes so awesome
I cry when I watch this scene. It makes me think of Robin Williams. I miss you, Robin! You will always be one of my favorite actors I will never forget. (Cries)
This is a great example of movie magic
One of my earliest childhood memories was seeing this movie in the theatres. My dad wore the same glasses and suite everyday to work. I literally thought my dad was the Pan. And I was so pleased by that thought. He just NOW learned of this and asked me…… “Wait, so was I Pan or the Hook?” God bless my dad 😅🙏🏽💙
The soundtrack.. This is humanities peak when it comes to theatrical music in movies.
Notice the subtle costume change as he flies? The little details like that make this movie the perfection that it is.
This part still makes me cry...such a beautiful scene!☺
I really miss my childhood. I would watch this movie on vhs over and over when I was six. I still love it
Jojo717 Q
Jojo717 This movie was my childhood and I absolutely hated it. I've always preferred the Disney Peter Pan, The Broadway Peter Pan with Cathy Rigby, the 2003/2004 Peter Pan film, and Peter Pan Live.
Jojo717 and the movie never gets old.😊😉😌
This is probably one of the most hype movie scenes of all time
The scene of Peter Pan flying through the clouds was my dream as a kid for years. I would imagine what it would be like to fly through the sky like him in that scene. Little did I know that dream would come true. I got certified as a skydiver and I was born and raised in Hawaii. I live that dream dream now and fly over Hawaii and skydive. Seeing this scene made me “remember” and reminded me when I was a kid and would watch this scene and think I could only do it in my dreams. If you haven’t skydived it doesn’t feel like your falling it feels like flying! No Falling sensation. Pretty emotional for me seeing this scene again. You earth dwellers have no idea.
I cry with this scene every time...
I never got to say thank you to Robin before his passing. I wish I could have met him and thanked him for all his great work that made my and many others' childhoods
So. Much. Nostalgia. I will always love this movie. Watching it as an adult.. the fact that Peter begins this journey as an absent, angry father and ends up flying again because of the realization that his children are his happy thought is so great and emotional. I know Spielberg isn’t super proud of this film, but it will always be one of the greats for me.
John Williams Score is pure magic
Literally my favorite movie scene of all time from my childhood. The music, the acting, the superb timing all bring this scene together in perfect harmony. RIP Robin Williams......
The whole film is magical, the whole sequence of Peter remembering and flying up into the sun is a stand out moment. But I reckon that the moment Rufio recognises Peter as the true leader and authority figure and humbles himself before Pan and how Peter bows before Rufio and recognises him as a leader too is the most magical moment of all. It takes real men of honour and integrity to do that. Just magical.
For us kids that grew up in the 90s, I know this film is unforgettable but it still feels so underrated. This scene always give me goosebumps. It's joy, it's fun, it's epic. And when Robin crows as Pan, you believe he is perfect for this and he was. They thought of everything when they made Hook. The film is perfect and this scene is perfect.
Some of the best film-memories of my childhood, right here.
For the wages of sin is death but the gift of GOD is everlasting life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
The bow was epic at 3:12 the sign of respect just awesome I get chills everytime
Is it sad that I just broke down in tears remembering this?😭😆😍🥰
The music in this scene is incredible
Who's cutting the onions you guys... :'(
Area85 when he said he became a dad
Glimjii When he held up the sword
So glad I’m not the only one who cries
I’m not crying! You’re crying!
Chop chop !
Chills!!! Every freaking time!!!
You can fly, you can fight and you can crow 😌
The blocking in the scene where Pan picks up the sword from Rufio, brilliant!! You get to see the reverence in Rufio's eyes which makes Peter Pan all the more out-of-this-world! Ugh! The feels!!
I played this part so much my VHS copy wore out. Over and over and over.
And in this moment we all remembered what it was like to be a kid again, too.
This movie so badly deserves a critical reassessment because Robin, Dustin, and Julia made this movie magical for many kids, not to mention a legendary score by the 🐐 of cinematic music himself.
I feel like I’m 10 years old again, thank you, Robin Williams. For making feel like a free-spirited boy again.
This movie is sooo underrated... or rather underrecognized.. overlooked by so many..
And yet this movie is soooo beautiful!
I showed it to my kids already and they reaaly loved it!
The thing that I love about this movie is just that the idea is so clever and original of asking the question "what if Peter Pan grew up?" And I just love that idea so much cause to this day this is the one and only movie that every asked that question and I think that's amazing.

There's something about the whole legend that makes the sadness of real life clearer.
And you forgot the death of Barrie’s elder brother, who in his mother’s eyes, was the boy who never grew up.
I think one thing that made Williams perfect for roles like this was that underlying sadness. There was a sense of pathos to his performances, which made the highs (like the one in this scene) shine all the more, the sun coming through the clouds. God bless you, Robin Williams. You are missed and remembered.
Sitting here in my mid 30's and this is still the most memorable movie scene from my childhood. This movie, scene, and background music - all perfect.
This whole scene gives me just pure joy!
I watch this every Thanksgiving on my DVD player lol 😂 love this gem with all of my heart, makes me feel like that free-spirited kid all over again 🙏🏼

Man, the feelings I have seeing this after so many years. I miss you Robin.
I was born in 2000 and this movie and this scene in particular is amazing. The score by john Williams, the great acting and the awesome cinematography, just makes it all amazing.

Born 1985, this was an epic film for me when I was growing up as a child!
Time does fly, and so do you I see.
The BEST film of my childhood. The amount of dressup sword fights I had with cousin as Hook/Pan can't be counted. One of the greatest films ever made and the soundtrack is legendary...... Hook for life!
That little bow he makes while looking at Rufio gives me chills everytime
Love the scene with his shadow. It was practically saying 'good to have you back buddy!'
