Disney Villains: Part 4. Return of the Old Codfish

 

Disney Villains is a separate Walt Disney Co. franchise which brings to life over 120 villains from Disney films, television shows, video games, books and resorts.  In this five-part series, we take a look at our top 5 Disney villains! This week, the spotlight is on….

 

Captain Hook

 

Though he doesn’t appear until 20 minutes into the film, Captain James Bartholomew Hook is the main antagonist of Disney’s feature length film Peter Pan, and is a principal member of the Disney Villains line-up

 

 

 

A Pirate's Life

Famous for his luscious black, shoulder-length curls, the Captain is best known for his engagement in a long-standing feud with his arch-nemesis Peter Pan - a relationship which fuels his frustration throughout his appearances. Hook’s fixation with revenge on Peter Pan stems from an incident which precedes the film – namely, when Peter cut off his hand and fed it to the crocodile.  This brutal, heartless act permanently disabled the Captain, landing him with a hook instead of a hand, and providing him with a rather a sad, sympathetic storyline. This, in combination with his endearing awkwardness makes for a complex, but particularly likeable, character.

Captain Hook’s villainy is offset by his comedy, in particular with the crocodile. He makes a fool of himself often, and has his plans foiled by the clumsiness and idiocy of his first mate Smee. He is depicted as constantly pursued by the same crocodile who ate his hand – a detail which, though appears funny, is rather frightening. This gruesome detail is overlooked due to the satirical nature of his character, including the way his moustache twitches to the rhythm of the crocodile’s swallowed clock. However, the silliness of his character shouldn’t mask his evil behaviour. In Peter Pan, Hook throws a member of his crew overboard, shoots another crew member for singing and constantly threatens Peter’s life. Life is cheap on board the Jolly Roger.

Hook is also unrelentingly manipulative, and employs every tool at his disposal in an attempt to trick Peter. He feigns surrender toward the end in order to catch Peter off guard, and finds a loophole in his agreement not to ‘lay a finger on Peter Pan’. The Hook should not be underestimated.

 

 

 

Charles II: The Original Hook

Long before Peter Pan was in development, Hook was being dreamed up by Scottish playwright J.M. Barrie. In Peter Pan: The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up, Hook is depicted as the quintessential pirate and captain of the Jolly Roger, with one addition: he has a phobia of the crocodile who pursues him and of the sight of his own blood.

As in the film, his name represents the iron hook which replaces his severed hand. In the play, Hook’s attire is based off that of Charles II of England, who donned the same long black hair. Hook’s depiction in the original script presents a callous, bloodthirsty pirate who is malicious and manipulative to his own ends.  

 

 

Appearances

  • Peter Pan

In the feature film, Hook is the main at antagonist, trying to find Peter Pan’s hiding spot in order to exact his revenge. He employs many methods including kidnapping the Princess Tiger Lily, and manipulating situations to meet his own ends.

 

  • Jake and the Neverland Pirates

Hook’s past is revealed in the series, more than ever before. His childhood is sad to be rather miserable, and we are introduced to ‘Mama Hook’ who was a feared pirate captain.

 

  • The Pirate Fairy

This film also gives backstory to the cruel captain. The film depicts Hook twenty years before Peter Pan, captaining a different crew. We also learn that he received his education from Eton College in England, and that he can speak and understand the fairy language.

 

  • Return to Neverland

In the feature film sequel, Hook once again is pursuing Peter Pan, and follows him to London in his ship, which is undergoing the Second World War.

 

  • Hook

Directed by Steven Spielberg, Hook is portrayed by Dustin Hoffman. Hook travels back to London to kidnap the children of the now adult Peter Pan, in an attempt to lure him back to Neverland where he can destroy him. Hook has since killed the crocodile and fashioned it into a clock tower but remains terrified of its ticking. Hook’s portrayal in the film remains closer to Barrie’s play, depicting a gentlemen pirate who is concerned with right behaviour and good form.

 

  • House of Mouse

Hook makes regular cameo appearances in the animated series

 

  • Once Upon a Time

Hook has gained somewhat of a cult following in the live-action fantasy drama. Portrayed by Colin O’Donoghue, Hook is known as Killian Jones. Hook’s backstory in the show depicts him as a pirate who formerly worked for a king, alongside his brother. When his brother is killed on a mission, Killian becomes the captain of his own ship – The Jolly Roger and begins his villainous ways. In later episodes, Hook falls in love with Emma Swan and changes his ways from that of a villain, to that of a hero.

 

  • Disney Parks

Hook is a feature at most of the Disney parks, seen in many shows and parades. Hook also appears in the shows on the Disney Magic cruise line
