Technically, this is a film about Peter Pan after he decides to leave Neverland and grow up. This film is considered standalone, and not official or canon to the Peter Pan story. However, there are many sources that tell the tale of Peter when he was young. Disney's Peter Pan is one of them, but the original story that introduced Peter that was called "The Little White Bird" was published in 1902. His story was later remade into a play and novel. You should look up the novel and play, they are called "Peter and Wendy". The rest of the story is told there.
This is a live action sequel to the novel basically. They even use lines from the novel in the film. It's more loosely based on the real people that the novel was inspired by.
You didn't miss a prior movie, but this movie does assume that you're familiar with the story of Peter Pan. A good one to watch would be the Disney version of the Peter Pan movie from 1953, It's short and a real Disney classic.
I agree, although to be honest, I can't think of another Pan movie besides the Disney version. It seems to cover all the bases that need to be covered as far as Peter Pan lore is concerned. It would be good if Dasha watched Disney's Peter Pan and then watched "Hook" again.
I think the writers had the Disney version in mind when they wrote this, so that would be the place to start. You could read the book, but it pretty clearly wasn't the inspiration for this film.
It's a tradition in Peter Pan productions to have the actor who portrays Hook to play another character outside Neverland, often the Darling Children's father. In this case, Dustin Hoffman voiced the airline pilot. "Jas" is an old-fashioned abbreviation for James. This IS the first (that is only) movie in the series. It's all built on having a knowledge of the original stories (or at least the Disney film). The couple making out who start floating after Tinkerbell flies over them are played by George Lucas and Carrie Fisher. Smee is played by the late Bob Hoskins, who you previously saw as Eddie Valiant in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The pirate who gets stuffed in the "Boo Box" is actually Glenn Close. Kids stories were a lot harder in the past. If you pay attention to the Lost Boys' clothing you'll see outfits from the early 1800s (including a boy wearing a US Civil War uniform - boys younger than 15 managed to enlist, most famously John "Johnny Shiloh" Clem) through the later 1900s, showing they've been gathering in Neverland for over a century. The connection between the Crocodile and the clock is that he swallowed a clock, (I can't remember if it was before or after Pan cut off Hook's hand and fed it to him) so every time it came after Hook he would hear a clock ticking. The elderly Wendy is played by Maggie Smith. She's best known these days for Downton Abbey and Harry Potter. During the flashback scenes of Peter visiting her throughout her life, 20-something Wendy was played by Gwyneth Paltrow.
I don't usually take life advice from Facebook, but I did see a post that made a lot of sense. "The only people that will remember and care about all the hours of overtime you worked are your family."
Hook holds a very special place in my heart, for 3 reasons; A). I love Robin Williams B). When I was a kid, I was OBSESSED with anything Peter Pan related (possibly due to hook) C). Hook was the very first film where my parents considered I was old enough to go see in cinema. I remember feeling so grown up and elated that I got to experience it with all the other grown ups (I would have been around 5 or 6 at the time)
My parents were taking me to movies by the time I was two years old, and I distinctly remember seeing Romancing the Stone and Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom the year they were released.
The deal with the clocks and crocodile are connected. The croc originally ate the hand of Hook and liked it so much that he wanted to eat the rest of him. The croc swallowed a clock, so whenever Hook heard a clock ticking he knew the crocodile was near.
The lost boys don't age, so they aren't afraid of time, Hook though does, so he's terrified of time, and of dying. He's an old man, clinging desperately to the false hair, dyed moustache, and lavish clothing he wont let go. To a jealously of children he can't let go of. Unlike how Peter learns to live at the end, Hook never wants to live and let time past.
Hi Dasha!😊 Nope, there is no previous movie. I think Spielberg presumes people watching have a general knowledge about Peter Pan and Captain Hook from the fairytales. You did a great job reacting to this classic film, Dasha!!!!🎬👏👏👏👏 Have a wonderful weekend in Canada!😊
Ah my dear summer child, all thd good children stories had something dark or horrific skillfully weaved in them. Feeding pirate hands to crocodiles is a normal Tuesday
I used to work with the woman playing the teacher at the beginning of the film, and my bosses' son is one of the Lost Boys. The male pirate put in the box is actress Glenn Close. The couple kissing on a bridge is George Lucas (creator of Star Wars) and Carrie Fisher (Princess Leia). They were dating at the time. A very young Gwenyth Paltrow appears briefly. Director Spielberg is her Godfather. Maggie Smith was Granny Wendy. She was 56 playing 92. Maggie is currently 89. Apparently, Julia Roberts was horrible to work with on this. She thought she was going to work with the cast, but as her character is tiny, she was separated from everyone on a little green screen set. She had never worked like that before and didn't respond well to it.
IIRC Roberts was also going through a very nasty divorce during filming, and she was miserable the entire time. The cast and crew weren't aware of this, so dubbed her "Tinker Hell."
@@Ambaryerno There was a lot going on. She was supposed to marry Keifer Sutherland after shooting. The shoot went long. Keifer ended up moving out of their place on their former wedding day, which ended up in the middle of the shoot. Spielberg blamed her attitude on the break-up and vowed to never work with her again anyway.
The explanation for the clocks is the crocodile that a captain hooks hand had a clock in its belly. So whenever the crocodile was trying to eat the rest of Captain Hook he could hear the clock ticking
Whats interesting is that the crocodile and clock are used as a metaphor for the fear of death that is absent in children but ever present in adults. His fear of clocks is essentially his fear of being reminded that his time will soon be up and also the louder it gets the closer death is to him.
The man kissing on the bridge is George Lucas with Carrie Fisher btw. And the scene where he entered the room with the wind twilight and painting is the best in any movie I have seen
The reason hook is terrified of clocks is because the crocodile swallow one and its ticking gave him away, evreytime hook heard a ticking he knew the crocodile was near by
With the dialogue Peter says - as he recalls his childhood - that he didn’t want to grow up, which meant there’s a lingering sense of dying at any moment. So in that sense, the ticking of the clock that Hook is really his fear that his time is up, thus death.
4:16 "I've lost my marbles." Dasha, in case you don't know, this is a common expression. Saying someone has "lost their marbles" is the same as saying they've "lost their mind."
It's not that surprising that Dasha doesn't know the story of Peter Pan as a Gen Z'er. I think its mostly a Gen X and Millennial trivial knowlage story. Im glad Dasha enjoyed the movie none the less it's meant to be a stand-alone film, and I highly recommend the animated peter pan movie and the live action! loved the reaction to Hook! ❤👌
Her being of Gen Z is likely a factor but also I dont think Peter Pan as a story made it into Russian literary or film culture. Also this movie is much closer to being a sequel to the original book which came out in the early 20th century. It even has some of the lines from it in it.
Actually its a book, the whole movie operates on the premise the viewer knows the story of Peter Pan which would've been largely true for American audiences in the early 90's. Maybe growing up in Russia she didnt experience that story.
@@TheOffkiltereverything is a book, they simply meant, if you wanted to watch a movie to get the back story of Peter Pan, you can watch. I believe it was the 1950s Disney film
As I'm sure people have already mentioned, the disney animated Peter Pan from 1953 is the lovable classic prequel to this. However the live action disney version from 2003 is a really good watch too.
I remember seeing a teaser for this when I saw "Home Alone" in the theater. I still have the soundtrack CD. My favorite part is when finally finds his happy thought.
I never realized how dark this kids movie is until I see someone react that didn't grow up with modern Peter Pan stories. Then I realized that the original Grimm Brothers story is really really dark.
The first "movie" is technically a book, the whole movie operates on the premise that the viewer knows the story of Peter Pan already and would pick up on the subtle and not so subtle references to the original which perhaps didnt make it into Eastern European/Russian culture I don't know.
When the lost boys say kill the lawyer or kill the pirate they don’t mean to literally kill them as they never kill. They capture. That’s the extent of their violence. The pirates ya. Cause they are the adults in this world. And many adults are seen as just authority figures. And nothing much more. After all they feud with children. They can’t be that “adult” they need their inner child. And the lost boys are transitioning constantly in mentality, but never aging. And the pirates are stuck as miserable adults. Doing the same things everyday. Sorta like real life. lol.
I've never read the book, seen any of the plays, or watched the Disney movie (or any if there are any other movies) and I always loved this movie as a kid. I still do, though now I have looked briefly into the story of Peter Pan so I understand a little bit more now. Knowing about Peter Pan isn't really necessary. While you do miss references, there's enough with the play at the beginning and the flashbacks that tie it together.
Priviet Dasha. This is the perfect family adventure about Peter Pan. My favorite line is "It's Snowing!" from Toodles, makes me laugh every time. Nice reaction, great cast and all did a good job :) You need to see the Disney animated version and the 2003 or so Peter Pan film to get more info. I do suggest the movie Dick Tracy, you'll love it. Btw that's a young Gwyneth Paltrow as Wendy in those past scenes. Wish she would've played her in future films.
If you haven't seen Disney's animated Peter Pan, you should, it is a must watch! Also, check-out Jungle Book while you are at it, and Hercules, Road to Eldarado, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Lady and the Tramp, and Larger than Life Bill Murray.
Hook was made as its own movie, but it was also a sequel to the classic Peter Pan story. So it assumes the audience is familiar with the basics of Peter Pan, since it was considered common knowledge when Hook was made. Hook follows the events of the original Peter Pan books the closest, but most film versions of Peter Pan would work to fill you in on the details. The classic Disney cartoon is the most famous. The 2003 live action Peter Pan also works very well too.
Strange to think that this movie was PANNED HARD by critics, and fans, when it was first released in the theaters because people were holding it up to the Disney Peter Pan movie. BUT, as the years have gone on, and the comparison between this and Disney's version isn't being used, it tends to hold up more and more on its own. There ARE issues with, such as being a little TOO "goofy" at times, and some would say that the way Hook was played was "over the top" (which is strange because the more you pay attention to the books, Hook was more or less a "drama queen" all along), ..... well, in truth, the flaws actually make the movie stick out more and somehow became "iconic" for different reasons.
They released this movie in the early 90s, so they assumed all of us adults back then remembered watching the Peter Pan movie, if not on the theater, at least on TV when Disney had a weekly movie in a TV channel, but if you have not seen Peter Pan you might feel you are missing some part of the story. If you want a funny refresher on Peter Pan, I'd recommend you watching "Peter Pan goes wrong."
You're right that it's a background movie, this isn't a sequel. Watch Disney Peter Pan, that's Peter Pan as a kid and then this film is about how Peter is after he fell in love and decided to grow up.
I know I'm late to the party on this one. My childhood friend's uncle was the writer for Hook, and gifted him an early copy of the film before it hit theaters, so we watched it when I was a little kid. Anyways the film is actually a "What If" for if Peter Pan grew up. It was something he always wanted to write, and when the studios wanted to make it into a film he was ecstatic. It could basically be a continuation of the original Peter Pan story of either Disney, or the old live action stage play when Peter was played by a woman.
"The alligator and the clock something story?!" I'm so sorry you never experienced a single version of the story of Peter Pan before seeing this movie, though I appreciate your perspective on Pan cutting off Hook's hand and feeding it to an alligator being "cruel"
Fun tidbit from the original play: Tinker Bell convinces Tootles to try to murder Wendy by telling him she's a bird Peter wants dead and he actually shoots her with a bow and arrow. When he learns who she really is, he tries to get Peter to kill him as punishment. It's a fun kids story!
Dark side of the story is Pan was the actual villain and Hook was the good guy. Here’s how: Pan was Rumplestilkins son (before he could turn string into gold) who wanted to get away to a land where he and his father could live not poor as rumple used to pawn people with magic tricks so pan got a beanstalk bean and tries to get his father rumple to go with him but pan jumped in alone and ended up in Neverland where he had to fed of the energy of young ones to stay young himself- which is why all the kids on the island. Pan would play his flute that only they could hear to lure them to neverland. James “Hook” Jones was Davey Jones brother who were both In their century military at the time and where sent on a mission to an island that had a deadly plant that their military were to use as a weapon. Except davey had got sick from trying to take off the island and pan told James “Hook” he could help cure his brother davey but didn’t tell hook that in doing so would me davey could never leave. As they tried to leave davey got sick so Hook went back to pan an learned about what pan didn’t tell him outcome. They took their chance and left Davey ended up dying, so Hook was determined to get revenge on Pan for his brothers death so he took his crew went rogue to chase pan to kill him and save any children that Pan had lured to the island as well.
Fakin' Da Funk stars Rufio, and Ashley from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and has John Witherspoon Rip known as "Pops." In this movie, Rufio gets adopted by a black family by mistake, oops LoL. Good movie for accepting people for who they are, but more importantly accepting yourself.
My favorite Peter Pan movie is 'Finding Neverland' (2004), featuring Johnny Depp, Dustin Hoffman, Kate Winslet, Julie Christie and a remarkable performance from young Freddie Highmore as Peter Llewelyn-Davies, the original inspiration for J.M. Barrie's fantasy play of 120 years ago. It's a 'roots of' true story, several academy nominations, very moving and highly recommended. I know you'd love it.Dasha.
The Disney animated Peter Pan (1953) is a good place to start. The SyFy Channel did a re-imagined series called Neverland (2011), where Peter and the Lost boys were originally young pickpockets in Edwardian England.
There isn't technically a film before this. The nearest thing is the Walt Disney cartoon version of Peter Pan. Like most classic Disney cartoons, it has a lot of charm, so it's well worth watching in its own right, but it's also a fun way to get more context for this film.
This movie is like a sequel solo or standalone film to the original story of Peter Pan. Which there's a lot of different versions of it, including Disney's version. But I'd say one of the original stories is Peter and Wendy.
A lovely reaction, as usual. I’m sure someone has already said this, but there was no previous movie. The problem is that Peter Pan is such a well-known story in England and America that Spielberg simply assumed that everyone would already know it. There are several different films about that story, including a great one with Jason Isaacs as Hook.
I see you didn’t get the joke. Losing marbles means going crazy. That’s why Peter was shocked to realize Toodles really did actually lose his real marbles.
4:10 "Lost." "Lost what?" "I've lost my marbles." This exchange is a joke the understanding of which depends on a little understanding of English-language slang. "To lose one's marbles" means "to go nuts." You could say "Why are you crawling around on the floor? You must be nuts." or you _could_ say, "Why are you crawling around on the floor? You must've lost your marbles."
19:34 "He said in the beginning of the movie... that he couldn't find his marbles." Yeah. Isn't it crazy that, somehow, they ended up here? I mean, how long's he been looking?
this movie is its own story. its basically what woul happen if Peter Pan grew up. so the only real requirement for this movie is basically knowing the peter pan story.
The Walt Disney animated classic "Peter Pan" is probably the best that I can recommend when it comes to filling in any holes or explaining anything that you didn't understand or would like clarity on. Watch it and post the reaction on your channel. Looking forward to it. Enjoy the reaction as always. Thanks.
There is no need to see any other films after the 1953 "Peter Pan" before seeing "Hook". Disney's "Peter Pan" will answer all your questions about the story of Peter, Hook and the crocodile....and the clocks! "Hook" is a very good story of Peter Pan after he grew up and forgot his childhood. It's kind of corny in some places, but overall, it's very good, IMO. And one could always read the book, which is always the best story!
36:36 "So... Peter Pan was never actually in love with Wendy..." Peter and Wendy were friends when they were _kids._ Peter took her (and her two brothers, Michael and John) to Neverland, a place where kids never grow up. They had a few adventures there, but Wendy, Michael and Tom ultimately decided they would be better off back home. We did not look in on Michael and Tom in this movie, probably because they were not necessary to the plot.
peter pan is quite an old classic childrens story, there are many films about it though the one most people know is the classic disney animated one. There was recently a pretty good live action one too. This is sort of set after but isn't directly a sequel to any film in particular and more just based on the story in general. Peter Pan is very much a story about little boys that dont want to grow up, Neverland being a land of childhood fantasy, living in tree houses, fighting pirates, kissing beautiful mermaids and some more um problematic stuff these days. Like all playtimes, you soon forget everything including the time. Its also a little outdated when it comes to girls, they generally more mature or their age and historically growing up to be mothers they are the ones that dont forget, dont get wrapped into their fantasy and mother the lost boys (this is why jack forgets in 3 days but maggie fights back) As for the crocodile, it swallowed a clock as well as hooks hand so when its near you could hear the ticking which spread fear in captain hook after he lost his hand to it. Hence the anti-clock scene.
This movie came to an idea to where a kid ask his dad and forgot what the dad did at that time. Anyway he ask his dad if Peter Pan ever grew up and the father said no. The kid ask but what if he did? That right there set the plans for the movie. To me this is the true Peter Pan movie. I may watch the old disney movie occasionally but this one holds alot for me. Great casting, the score and settings. Steven shouldn't be down on himself for this movie and this is one of my favorite movies from him.
Don’t worry, it’s not really a sequel or anything. It’s a standalone movie. Just a different take on the story. “What if the boy who never grew up, grew up and had kids of his own?”. However there is backstory they only touch on in this, so if there were a good place to start, I guess it would be The original animated Disney Peter Pan. Even though it didn’t age well in some places. Lol

The "Tootles has lost his marbles" has a double meaning, to say someone has lost their marbles is a way to say they've gone crazy/insane.
It warmed my heart that Tootles finally found his marbles.
No it was a MEN IN BLACK ENDING SCENE REFERENCE (JK)
"That place between sleep and awake, where you can still remember dreaming..."
One of the great lines in film, IMO.

Loved that as a kid. Definitely the one to go with. I had no idea it was released in 1950s though.

While you do miss references, there's enough with the play at the beginning and the flashbacks that tie it together.
Rip Robin Williams
One of my all-time favorites.
Oh, and Dasha, you're so beautiful it hurts.
"I want I want I want. Me me me me. Mine mine mine mine. Now now now."
Hook is so much more relatable in the era of the internet! 😂😂😂
The mark of a great reactor. I didn't care much for Hook originally, but now I feel like watching it again...
This is my favourite movie of all time. I know every word!
Priviet Dasha. This is the perfect family adventure about Peter Pan. My favorite line is "It's Snowing!" from Toodles, makes me laugh every time. Nice reaction, great cast and all did a good job :) You need to see the Disney animated version and the 2003 or so Peter Pan film to get more info. I do suggest the movie Dick Tracy, you'll love it. Btw that's a young Gwyneth Paltrow as Wendy in those past scenes. Wish she would've played her in future films.
If you haven't seen Disney's animated Peter Pan, you should, it is a must watch! Also, check-out Jungle Book while you are at it, and Hercules, Road to Eldarado, All Dogs Go to Heaven, Lady and the Tramp, and Larger than Life Bill Murray.
Hook was made as its own movie, but it was also a sequel to the classic Peter Pan story. So it assumes the audience is familiar with the basics of Peter Pan, since it was considered common knowledge when Hook was made.
Hook follows the events of the original Peter Pan books the closest, but most film versions of Peter Pan would work to fill you in on the details. The classic Disney cartoon is the most famous. The 2003 live action Peter Pan also works very well too.
Strange to think that this movie was PANNED HARD by critics, and fans, when it was first released in the theaters because people were holding it up to the Disney Peter Pan movie.
BUT, as the years have gone on, and the comparison between this and Disney's version isn't being used, it tends to hold up more and more on its own. There ARE issues with, such as being a little TOO "goofy" at times, and some would say that the way Hook was played was "over the top" (which is strange because the more you pay attention to the books, Hook was more or less a "drama queen" all along), ..... well, in truth, the flaws actually make the movie stick out more and somehow became "iconic" for different reasons.
They released this movie in the early 90s, so they assumed all of us adults back then remembered watching the Peter Pan movie, if not on the theater, at least on TV when Disney had a weekly movie in a TV channel, but if you have not seen Peter Pan you might feel you are missing some part of the story.
If you want a funny refresher on Peter Pan, I'd recommend you watching "Peter Pan goes wrong."
I loved this movie growing up and it still makes me cry to this very day.
It's been a long time since I've seen Sasha reacts and it seems like she's upgraded her channel
The old Disney Peter Pan (1953), Pan (2015), Finding Neverland (2004) are 3 that I have seen (worth a watch). All the others i cannot vouch for.
You're right that it's a background movie, this isn't a sequel. Watch Disney Peter Pan, that's Peter Pan as a kid and then this film is about how Peter is after he fell in love and decided to grow up.
I know I'm late to the party on this one. My childhood friend's uncle was the writer for Hook, and gifted him an early copy of the film before it hit theaters, so we watched it when I was a little kid. Anyways the film is actually a "What If" for if Peter Pan grew up. It was something he always wanted to write, and when the studios wanted to make it into a film he was ecstatic. It could basically be a continuation of the original Peter Pan story of either Disney, or the old live action stage play when Peter was played by a woman.
"The alligator and the clock something story?!"
I'm so sorry you never experienced a single version of the story of Peter Pan before seeing this movie, though I appreciate your perspective on Pan cutting off Hook's hand and feeding it to an alligator being "cruel"
In terms of the range of his performance this is probably Dustin Hoffman's best ever. His lines are also the most memorable.
It really breaks my heart that Steven Spielberg wasn’t pleased with this film. I thought he really did a wonderful job.
😅 I love how Dasha knew nothing of the Pan lore! Now thats refreshing and damn good entertainment!!
The lost boys actors didn't know who was going to get the golden sword, so their excitement and wonder is real.
Fun tidbit from the original play: Tinker Bell convinces Tootles to try to murder Wendy by telling him she's a bird Peter wants dead and he actually shoots her with a bow and arrow. When he learns who she really is, he tries to get Peter to kill him as punishment. It's a fun kids story!
Dark side of the story is Pan was the actual villain and Hook was the good guy. Here’s how: Pan was Rumplestilkins son (before he could turn string into gold) who wanted to get away to a land where he and his father could live not poor as rumple used to pawn people with magic tricks so pan got a beanstalk bean and tries to get his father rumple to go with him but pan jumped in alone and ended up in Neverland where he had to fed of the energy of young ones to stay young himself- which is why all the kids on the island. Pan would play his flute that only they could hear to lure them to neverland. James “Hook” Jones was Davey Jones brother who were both In their century military at the time and where sent on a mission to an island that had a deadly plant that their military were to use as a weapon. Except davey had got sick from trying to take off the island and pan told James “Hook” he could help cure his brother davey but didn’t tell hook that in doing so would me davey could never leave. As they tried to leave davey got sick so Hook went back to pan an learned about what pan didn’t tell him outcome. They took their chance and left Davey ended up dying, so Hook was determined to get revenge on Pan for his brothers death so he took his crew went rogue to chase pan to kill him and save any children that Pan had lured to the island as well.
Fakin' Da Funk stars Rufio, and Ashley from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and has John Witherspoon Rip known as "Pops." In this movie, Rufio gets adopted by a black family by mistake, oops LoL. Good movie for accepting people for who they are, but more importantly accepting yourself.
I've watched this movie a million times as a kid and I love it. But it really hits different now as a parent to a little 2 year old
Clocks is bcus the crocodile that ate Hook's hand was also fed a clock. So Hook would always know when the croc was coming so he can get away.
RIP Robin Williams
Another great video Dasha. I love your reactions. Keep up the great work!
Dasha, the film you can watch as "first part" , of this Movie, is the PETER PAN Film from 2003!
Cheers for every happy thought!
I'm your big fan (from Korea) Thank you for reviewing so many old movies♥
My favorite Peter Pan movie is 'Finding Neverland' (2004), featuring Johnny Depp, Dustin Hoffman, Kate Winslet, Julie Christie and a remarkable performance from young Freddie Highmore as Peter Llewelyn-Davies, the original inspiration for J.M. Barrie's fantasy play of 120 years ago. It's a 'roots of' true story, several academy nominations, very moving and highly recommended. I know you'd love it.Dasha.
Fun fact: the pirate doomed to "the Boo Box" was actually played by the famous actress Glenn Close
This isn't a sequel, but it does follow the events of the original story, and the original disney cartoon.
Love This Movie. Glad you reacted to this. Thanks Dasha
The book explains that children are innocent which makes them heartless. It’s why Peter Pan is portrayed as cruel as a child.
12:48
Basically, Dasha, this movie is exploring the possibility of "What If Peter Pan Grew Up?"
See the Peter Pan movie from 2003 with Jason Isaacs if you want to see a great version of the story this movie follows.
The Disney animated Peter Pan (1953) is a good place to start.
The SyFy Channel did a re-imagined series called Neverland (2011), where Peter and the Lost boys were originally young pickpockets in Edwardian England.
Y'all my viewers needs to hear this.
There isn't technically a film before this. The nearest thing is the Walt Disney cartoon version of Peter Pan. Like most classic Disney cartoons, it has a lot of charm, so it's well worth watching in its own right, but it's also a fun way to get more context for this film.
This movie is like a sequel solo or standalone film to the original story of Peter Pan. Which there's a lot of different versions of it, including Disney's version. But I'd say one of the original stories is Peter and Wendy.
@18:00 The confusion on your face 😂 priceless
The movie plays off of the Disney classic animated film, "Peter Pan".
You can have all of my attention and you can be a mermaid. ✌️❤️🌹
Its actually alot closer to the original stories and book that came out in the early 20th century, even borrows some lines from them.
everbody is talking about Robin Williams but for me the MVP of the Movie is still Dustin Hoffman
t is a bit weird watching this without knowing the Peter Pan story at all. But the book is he best source.
A childhood classic.
A lovely reaction, as usual.
I’m sure someone has already said this, but there was no previous movie. The problem is that Peter Pan is such a well-known story in England and America that Spielberg simply assumed that everyone would already know it. There are several different films about that story, including a great one with Jason Isaacs as Hook.
Y'all my viewers needs to hear this.
I see you didn’t get the joke. Losing marbles means going crazy. That’s why Peter was shocked to realize Toodles really did actually lose his real marbles.
4:10 "Lost."
"Lost what?"
"I've lost my marbles."
This exchange is a joke the understanding of which depends on a little understanding of English-language slang. "To lose one's marbles" means "to go nuts." You could say "Why are you crawling around on the floor? You must be nuts." or you _could_ say, "Why are you crawling around on the floor? You must've lost your marbles."
19:34 "He said in the beginning of the movie... that he couldn't find his marbles."
Yeah. Isn't it crazy that, somehow, they ended up here? I mean, how long's he been looking?
9:05
Fun fact: that kissing couple was George Lucas and Carrie Fisher!
this movie is its own story. its basically what woul happen if Peter Pan grew up. so the only real requirement for this movie is basically knowing the peter pan story.
Hook is the hero. You can't change my mind.
rufio is a legend....RIP ...true warrior
This movie came out quite awhile ago, still very good and enjoyable
The Walt Disney animated classic "Peter Pan" is probably the best that I can recommend when it comes to filling in any holes or explaining anything that you didn't understand or would like clarity on. Watch it and post the reaction on your channel. Looking forward to it. Enjoy the reaction as always. Thanks.
There is no need to see any other films after the 1953 "Peter Pan" before seeing "Hook".
Disney's "Peter Pan" will answer all your questions about the story of Peter, Hook and the crocodile....and the clocks!
"Hook" is a very good story of Peter Pan after he grew up and forgot his childhood.
It's kind of corny in some places, but overall, it's very good, IMO.
And one could always read the book, which is always the best story!
Y'all my viewers needs to hear this.
36:36 "So... Peter Pan was never actually in love with Wendy..."
Peter and Wendy were friends when they were _kids._ Peter took her (and her two brothers, Michael and John) to Neverland, a place where kids never grow up. They had a few adventures there, but Wendy, Michael and Tom ultimately decided they would be better off back home.
We did not look in on Michael and Tom in this movie, probably because they were not necessary to the plot.
Y'all my viewers needs to hear this.!!❤
peter pan is quite an old classic childrens story, there are many films about it though the one most people know is the classic disney animated one. There was recently a pretty good live action one too. This is sort of set after but isn't directly a sequel to any film in particular and more just based on the story in general.
Peter Pan is very much a story about little boys that dont want to grow up, Neverland being a land of childhood fantasy, living in tree houses, fighting pirates, kissing beautiful mermaids and some more um problematic stuff these days. Like all playtimes, you soon forget everything including the time.
Its also a little outdated when it comes to girls, they generally more mature or their age and historically growing up to be mothers they are the ones that dont forget, dont get wrapped into their fantasy and mother the lost boys (this is why jack forgets in 3 days but maggie fights back)
As for the crocodile, it swallowed a clock as well as hooks hand so when its near you could hear the ticking which spread fear in captain hook after he lost his hand to it. Hence the anti-clock scene.
This movie came to an idea to where a kid ask his dad and forgot what the dad did at that time. Anyway he ask his dad if Peter Pan ever grew up and the father said no. The kid ask but what if he did? That right there set the plans for the movie. To me this is the true Peter Pan movie. I may watch the old disney movie occasionally but this one holds alot for me. Great casting, the score and settings. Steven shouldn't be down on himself for this movie and this is one of my favorite movies from him.
Dasha! Hello. Love the backdrop. Especially brings out your beautiful eyes. Captain Hook definitely brings me back!
Don’t worry, it’s not really a sequel or anything. It’s a standalone movie. Just a different take on the story. “What if the boy who never grew up, grew up and had kids of his own?”. However there is backstory they only touch on in this, so if there were a good place to start, I guess it would be The original animated Disney Peter Pan. Even though it didn’t age well in some places. Lol
Gotta rewatch the Disney version of Peter Pan. 😁
Y'all my viewers needs to hear this.!!❤
9:02 ..."That is a crazy strong fairy"...Nah, is the magic dust; makes you lighter than air... Thus the expression "High as a kite"
What?
They don’t kill adults. They kill pirates.
This isn't really a sequel, but it requires you already know the story of Peter pan. You should watch the Disney cartoon movie Peter pan.
This movie is not sequel to another movie. It is a continuation of Peter Pan many years later.
Peter Pan is nearly 100 years old. Lots of stories/movies about it. This is one of the latest one.
