Clip from the Disney movie "Hook" where the captain explains why parents hate their children. Funny stuff! I make no claim to any of this material...it is entirely Disney's. Enjoy!
"He took my toy, she hit my bear, I want to potty, I want a cookie, I want to stay up. I want I want I want me me me my my my now now now!" This movie brings me so much child nostalgia.
*Enters Hooks room* "have a seat...what are you doing here" hook: Kidnapping pans kids... Hansen: and do these kids happen to be around 8 years old? Hook: Oh shit...it's not what it looks like... The sequel - "Fuck!"
This comment reminds me of the documentary in which George Lucas asked if somebody is a parent when they drew the not-yet-created General Grievous as an alien child.

Hook is truly frightening not because he's a liar. But because he truly believes what he's telling Jack and Maggie. He's so cynical, so hateful, that he cannot possibly comprehend what it's like to love somebody. And that's one of the scariest things a person can be.

I have a weird theory about Hook. After all he has all sorts of information be could never have acquired, and despite being a villain he seems to do just as much to help Peter remember as anyone has. He always said he wanted a war, but all he does is goad Peter into being a better parent. In brainwashing Jack he almost gives Peter a glance into the future as to what will happen if he continuously ignores his children. It's as if Hook was never a villain at all, but an uncouth spiritual guide. Always thought it strange when he threatens "This is all a dream you know, when you wake up you'll just be Peter Banning, a selfish drunk who runs and hides from his wife and children"
@johnmartin4119 I agree, it's surprising as to why she was so concerned about getting that "F" since she knows she's not really in school but only kidnapped by Hook and that "F" won't go on her permanent record
When you think of it, the film reinforces that the effects of Neverland seem not to work so well on girls, like there's something about them that is unwilling to fully give themselves over to just up-and-forgetting things. Several iterations of Wendy in films have done this, and Maggie also falls into this category, in how she holds on strongly to the wish to go home to her parents.
+80MWH kinda makes sense. Neverland is all about personal freedom, adventure, and avoiding responsibility. Girls tend to be more family and socially focused so the thought of absolute independence hold less appeal to them.
I have always seen that feature as a reinforcement of motherly love for example in the 1953 animated film, wendy wants to go to neverland becasue her father wants her to grow up and and plans to remove her from the nursery and yet even in Neverland, wendy is designated the lost boys mother and she is the responsible one it’s only when michael and john forget their actual mother, the mother who loves them that Wnedy decides it’s time for them to go home and i think its because of motherly love or the motherly care that girls can withstand the effects of neverland.
@@lordbrowning Also girls tend to be taught responsibility at a younger age then boys are. Even as little girls we often tend to roleplay as mothers/caretakers so we grow up learning that while it's good to have fun and be children one day this will end and we'll have to learn to be the primary role model for our own children. Boys by contrast aren't really taught the same level of responsibility, or possess it instinctively until they start hitting their late teens when they are expected to "man up" so to speak. So that's probably why part of the reason girls are more able to resist Neverland's magic then boys. We know we absolutely have to grow up, we just don't have to lose that childlike wonder about the world when we get older. After all if girls completely lost that childlike spark while maturing it would make it harder for us to understand our own children half as well. So in a way girls get the best of both worlds where we can be both mature and still appreciate the joy of youth in a way boys don't. Plus all women know that men never truly "grow up' so to speak, that's why they rely on us for so much even as adults.
Anyone else love how Maggie wouldn't stand for Hook talking shit about her parents? But Jack swallows it because their dad has let him down so many times which gave Hook his opening.
Not to mention Jack might be slightly jealous of Maggie since his parents especially his dad took time for her but he didn’t come to his baseball game.
@@bursegsardaukar Ain't it the truth? Because of this inspite of their kidnapping Hook for a short time was the father figure to Jack that Peter wasn't.
Tyler Fisher he gave me an F and I’ve spent the last ten years cleaning poop out of urinals at a bowling alley. The league guys think it’s funny to “sport crap” as they say.
"He took my toy! She hit my bell! I want to potty! I want a cookie! I want to stay up! I want- I want- I want- Me- Me- Me- Me- Mine- Mine- Mine- Mine- Now- Now- Now... HEAUGH!"
My dad used to love this scene when I was a kid, and as an adult I realize it’s because Hook’s communicating to kids what a hassle they can be and gives them some empathy, but it turns straight into evil when he says her parents didn’t want her and liked life without her better. Sure, maybe there’s a few parents who do, but a lot of parents don’t. The fact that he can go from truth to a lie so smoothly is what makes him so scary 💀💀💀
@queenmismatched I found that funny how Maggie was concerned that she got an "F" since she knows that she's not really in school and it's not like that "F" would go on her permanent record.
Well he is a pirate . Piracy took a lot more than a cutlass and cannons . You had to be able to talk and sell merchants stuff , fool and bribe people .
My parents once told me they wanted to have a son because both of them already enjoyed their time together, made some savings and "felt" the need to enrich their existance by forming a family and raising a new being. Of course, that was the only significative and endearing talk I had with them before they started working 24/7 and the only time I was able to see them... was when they were sleeping after a very long exhausting day. I used to read aloud my own books during bedtime. AND NOW I'M DOING EXACTLY THE FREAKING SAME WITH MY KIDS! ... Adulthood is complex.
Hook may just be manipulating the two into joining him as part of his plan, but what if this little "why parents hate their children" lesson is like a window into Hook's personal backstory. Think about it; what if Hook lived in a loveless childhood home with negligent parents who abused him, paid little attention to him and probably even tried to dispose of him on more than one occasion just so they won't have to deal with him anymore? It would've made more sense for his character. A man who has no concept of love since he was never given any when he was a child himself because his parents HATED him.
The sad thing about James Hook is that what he says perfect makes sense to him, he is not a liar, in his mind at least, he genuinely believes that he is telling them the truth and considering what a messed up childhood he had resulting in his cynical attitude towards the relationship between child and parent which is a reflection of his own dark relationship he had with his own mother when he was a little boy and the way she attempted to indoctrinate him to carry on the family tradition and be a pirate captain just like her, something he originally did not want to be, which makes his attempt to indoctrinate Peter’s kids come full circle in what, in a sad twist of irony, is what originally happened to him. Maybe that’s why he was so hell-bent on brainwashing Peter’s children, as a misguided attempt to vent his frustration from his own insecurities about the unresolved childhood trauma he endured from his mom when he was their age.
What are you talking about?? Hook was in Eton, probably a Stuart's bastard. We never learn of his chikdhood except it for sure was strict and rather cheerless.
Maggie protests against Hook with disobedience by attempting to tear off the hook and bravely uses her freedom of speech. She's so much like her great-grandmother Wendy when she refused to forget her parents.
Growing up, every kid wanted to be Peter Pan; now that we're all adults with kids, we come to realize that Hook was the better option. I love this scene.
Nope, I just don't see the appeal in being a crooked, jaded that hunts after an immortal kid that stay young forever when you off doing your own thing FAR AWAY!
@@morbidsearchEh. It’s the popular contrary opinion faze when you’re growing up. They like to believe their viewpoint is special with a hint of edge lol They don’t realize how much of a hell it is being Captain Hook. Being as carefree and being heroic on the side as Pan still appeals to me as an adult.
When I was a kid, I thought what hook was saying was just the mean words of a wicked pirate. Now some 25 years on, I realize, he was right the whole time. All parents want to do is pacify their kids, just to have some quiet moments to themselves.Now I know why my dad went to the local pub every night.
a REAL parent would never think that their children are a trouble or an obstacle, a real parent really enjoys life with their children and educates them with all the value that a human being deserves. If you have bad parents it is because the way of raising children has changed, and now adults are more useless and childish. Kids grow up with rotten childhoods in modernity
So that's why parents demand most entertainment industry to make a children's show that is safe for kids so kids will just calm down. No wonder why Care Bears exist.
Maggie was such strong character. Hook trying to manipulate her. Maggie looks him in the eye and tells him he's a bad man. Then tries to rip off his hook telling him off how she hates him. So strong. Then as she's dragged out of the room she demands her brother hear shouting never land makes you forget, run home. The lore is never land does make you forget the real world. Jack completely forgets who his father is his father, and his former life because he was manipulated. But not Maggie. She never forgot. She sang her mom's song. When her dad appeared to save her at the end she immediately recognized him. Such a strong female character at such a young age. And props to the kid that plays her. I think Maggie is over looked and under rated. But she has few scenes and her co stars are big names. Love this movie. There's to many great Scenes. And the freaking soundtrack. Top 5 favorite movies
As a parent, I think that what he says is half-true, half-wrong ;) Special mention for the "I want, I want, I want, me, me, me, my, my, my, now, now, now !" part !
I'm still shocked that this film has gotten a lot of hate from film critics because they said that the tone and screenplay was too sweet and happy and Spielberg himself said that he was disappointed with how the film turned out, even though this film became a huge cult classic over the years.
I'm bummed that Steven Spielberg was disappointed with this movie as for the critics movies back then didn't please them then and now years later that's more of a reality it just goes to show even if you put all the heart blood sweat and tears critics will never appreciate films but the absolutely funny thing these critics are not only hypocrites but no matter how many times they complain about certain film franchises there still going strong like godzilla, transformers, star wars ,etc just to name a few it's funny they put all there engery money and big mouths into putting a movie down and what's even funnier they fail because the franchise is still continuing and makes alot of money Soo ummm one question what's the point of having movie critics because the sad truth is there not happy until they make people miserable over a movie that they didn't like all because it didn't meet the critics expectations that means critics don't appreciate what is given but whos opinion is more important on wether a movie is good the audience who have a opened mind to give the film a chance or critics who upon seeing the slightest thing that they don't like disregard it as garbage well in my opinion it's the audience because like I said before they have a open mind and are willing to give the film a chance so bottom line is the critics can bitch and complain until they run out of breath because I see these critics running out of breath more quickly than any of these franchises going away anytime soon well at least we know who will go first oh well
+S1RWats Indeed and Peter at the beginning of the movies probably would have agreed with Hook. Then with the help of Tink and the lost boys he rediscovers the joys of being a child and realises that despite all the responsibilites that come with children, they also bring joy to your life. That why his joy at being a father is what allows him to fly again.
Actually, I don't believe that Hook is lying here either. Take a look at Peter Banning, and at Peter Pan. Peter ignored his family entirely, they were at best, a convenience. As Peter lived, he was entirely self-indulged. If you go back to the original stories of Peter Pan, Peter loved the thrill of the fight so much, that he would jump sides, and start attacking his own lost boys. Entirely self-indulged. Now some parents transition quite nicely, realizing that their world now is their kids' world. Some parents fail to make that transition. I really don't see Pan/Banning making that transition. So then his self-indulgent world becomes cluttered by his kids. So the way Hook described it would be in fact how Pan/Banning saw it, the kids were a burden to him. Before they were born, he was happier.... he was free.
This was such an AMAZING fucking movie! I was 6 when I first saw this. I'm 25 now, and this hasn't aged a bit. Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams were PERFECT for their roles. This is hands down the BEST Disney movie ever made.
Dustin Hoffman's lead role in Teri Garr's 1982 family comedy, Tootsie must have given Robin Williams the idea to do his 1993 family comedy, Mrs. Doubtfire.
His hook is almost sad. Like he’s ready to retire but damn it I’ve still got this Peter Pan bull to deal with then I can move somewhere with decent WiFi
@@piercestewart2045 No I actually hated this whole movie. What a piece of boring trash. I prefer all of the other versions of Peter Pan. Peter Pan Disney =Amazing Peter Pan Broadway with Cathy Rigby and Mary Martin=Brilliant Peter Pan 2003=Wonderful Peter Pan Live =Exciting Pan 2015=Just as exciting as Peter Pan Live Hook=boring trash
All these years of watching Hook, I never stopped to realize that Captain Hook was threatening Jack when he tells him "Jack, you are home" while putting his hook up to Jack's face
@Tito O He was kind of making Jack feel like he is home by legally adopting him and granting any wish Jack wished for since much later in the movie when Jack was playing baseball, Hook said to him "this is for all the games you daddy missed, Hook would never miss your games son." For these reasons, Jack started to think of Hook as a father when his real father Peter said "Jack give me your hand and we'll go home" with Jack saying "I am home" while coming close to Hook. However, Jack got a change of heart feeling happy that Peter was his dad after hearing Rufio tell Peter that he wishes that Peter was his dad.
damn man. never really thought that much about how evil this makes hook out to be. taking kids to neverland brainwashing them into hating and then forgetting their parents and just leaving them to live the rest of their days as kids. i watched this a lot as a kid and all i ever really took in from this was 'i want, i want, i want, mee, me, me,me, mine,mine, mine, now, now, now 'gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.'
@@mariacillan9668 Because he's using a certain truth, to brainwash kids into a depressing existence of mistrust and loss of hope. It's obvious. He uses 'the truth', at least his version of it, for evil purposes
As a child, I thought Hook was just being mean and was trying to make Maggie cry. As the parent of a two-year-old, I'm like, "Shit, did Hook have kids?!" Shit's too real.
it is sad to see that parents only see their children as obstacles, you are only parents looking for excuses to get away from their children, that's why they end up alone and sad, because of the lack of GOOD parental attention Fuck you all
What's oddly endearing is that after this Hook puts all his energy into making Jack his son. Peter was so neglectful and so distant for so long he didn't even have to convince Jack much to join him. Often makes me wonder what would have happened had Jack stayed with Hook in Neverland.
Hook is an underrated movie. I ❤ this entire movie. Always found it to be a Classic. Not just saying that because of Robin Williams' tragic passing. Complete Respect to all involved making this film happen. The dialogue, acting & soundtrack all Brilliant 🙌❤😀
I used to think his plan was lame... I watch this now and just think sarcastically back "Uhm... because they're toxic? Pissed that they can't live their dreams through us? Because they can't handle the fact that we'll fit into a secular, logical cookie cutter mold?" But let's face it, only the strong (those capable teaching true values, empathy and discipline) ought to have kids.
@@maxkennedy7430 It is pathetic because you allow yourselves to be influenced by the media so as not to have children. I don't have children but I wish with all my heart to have them, since I am probably infertile
This movie is completely underrated. Dustin Hoffman's performance was so good, he's the first person I think of whenever someone mentions Captain Hook.
Yes. It’s implied in the beginning that he had a spy when Jack noticed his baseball was missing. Then Maggie said it was a mean, scary man at the window who stole it by claiming he was a window washer.
@@bloodyrose1985 Not only that, Dustin was also the voice of the Pan Am plane captain. Which could indicate that it was Hook all along in disguise. I always had the theory that Hook and Smee searched for Peter for years in all parts of the world in alternating disguises, kidnapping other Peters' children (thinking he'd caught the real one) but then eventually found him in Banning.
This character and what he says here really makes some people lose their minds and get CRAZY defensive! I dont ascribe anything personal to it, I just think the dynamic is hilarious. But on a more psychological note, I think children AND parents can be selfish. But children are expected to be selfish, they cant help it. Parents are expected to be selfLESS. But FEELING selfish doesn't make you a bad parent it's what you DO with those feelings that's important. Also nothing wrong with wanting or not wanting kids. People who have them are not better or more selfless than those that dont. Ever had a kid that said 'I didnt ASK to be born!'? Ever said it yourself? It makes parents angry because it's true as much as what Hook says in the moment. But it's also true that the decision to have children is by origin a selfish one, (selfish isn't necessarily a negative word) it does call for you to make sacrifices and selfless decisions but you're not a saint because you do it, after all you chose that path/responsibility. It's just on you to decide if you can do that without excuse/fail because once a kid arrives, if you decide at any point that you cant uphold that end of the deal, you cant undo it. That's why I feel that you can never underthink that decision and I can at least respect those who are super honest about their feelings whether it's both or one or the other. Its not a competition nor a personal indictment since only you have the right answer for YOU.
Modern society teaches parents to be irresponsible, and to those who have no children, it teaches them not to love them or never want them. We live in times where adults behave like children and children live in loneliness and depression. no modern parent really knows how to raise their kids, parents today are all useless idiots
@@mariananda5733 , it's not sad, it's the truth. Nobody without children can ever understand the magnitude of raising them. We have children because they are magical, wonderful, loving, and enriching little human beings. We have children because we want to bring magic into the world. The world would be a dark place without children for sure. However, we ALL make that decision without a clear understanding of what the responsibility actually entails. Until you have children, you cannot understand the sacrifice that it takes to raise them. All the little things that are so hard, but that are not immediately apparent. When you have children, you're entire identity becomes wrapped up in your children. Quiet moments alone with your partner become rare. Time to focus on your personal growth is extremely limited. You whole primary focus shifts to maintaining and teaching your children, and this is not something that you expect when you decide to have children. It doesn't matter how much experience you have with children, you cannot know the sacrifice until you have them! And it's hard. Children don't always come hardwired to be sweet and magical. I just had to put my two small kids in their beds because they won't stop hitting each other. They are still learning how to process their feelings, and so they often resort to venting those feelings through instinctive ways, which are obviously not acceptable. And for the next 15 years, it is my responsibility to keep those instincts in check for my children, and it gets tiring. There's no day off. Now, that being said, we all have a choice to make as parents. Despite the ring of truth to what Hook says here, there can be no denying the magic that a child carries within their little souls. As parents, we have to decide to nurture that spark of magic, protect it, and love it and vessel that carries it. We have to understand that the light within children is WORTH the sacrifice, no matter how great. That's what separates a good parent from a bad parent. There is no sin in recognizing the difficulty of parenthood. There is no sin in longing after our younger, easier, more carefree days before children. There is no sin in recognizing that we fall short of perfection. The sin occurs when we deliberately cease to make our efforts to cultivate the light, the magic, in the souls of children. Or worse, when we deliberately extinguish that light. There are bad parents out there, horrific people who refuse to care for their charges, or willfully abuse them. There's is no abyss that is too dark for those people. Hook is not lying here, and I'm not a bad parent for saying so. I'm a realist. The lie here is implied, which is that the magic that we bring into the world with children is not worth the sacrifice it takes. The sacrifice is absolutely worth it! In the movie, Peter sees his children as obstacles until he remembers the magic they hold in their hearts (the same magic we all hold that is dampened by age and cynicism). Peter WAS happier without children! We all were! Children are hard to handle on a constant basis. However, our lives are much richer and more joyful with children in them. Our lives are full of more love when children are around. The WORLDis richer and more joyful with children it it! This is why, despite facing that moment that all parents come to when they realize that their decision to have children resulting in a sacrifice that is more than they want to give, good parents stick it out and try their best, and provide their children with love and nurture. Because they recognize that all children are indeed worth sacrificing for.
Love this scene. I recite it to my children when they act up. A lot of what he says is true, sort of. He is spot on about kids being that way but not about parents hating their children.
"He took my toy, she hit my bear, I want to potty, I want a cookie, I want to stay up. I want I want I want me me me my my my now now now!" This movie brings me so much child nostalgia.

When you think of it, the film reinforces that the effects of Neverland seem not to work so well on girls, like there's something about them that is unwilling to fully give themselves over to just up-and-forgetting things.
Several iterations of Wendy in films have done this, and Maggie also falls into this category, in how she holds on strongly to the wish to go home to her parents.
+80MWH kinda makes sense. Neverland is all about personal freedom, adventure, and avoiding responsibility. Girls tend to be more family and socially focused so the thought of absolute independence hold less appeal to them.
That would explain why there are no "Lost Girls"
OH FINALLY! I always was puzzled as to how both Wendy and Maggie were so adamant about home. This makes total sense.
I have always seen that feature as a reinforcement of motherly love
for example in the 1953 animated film, wendy wants to go to neverland becasue her father wants her to grow up and and plans to remove her from the nursery
and yet even in Neverland, wendy is designated the lost boys mother and she is the responsible one
it’s only when michael and john forget their actual mother, the mother who loves them
that Wnedy decides it’s time for them to go home
and i think its because of motherly love or the motherly care that girls can withstand the effects of neverland.
@@lordbrowning Also girls tend to be taught responsibility at a younger age then boys are. Even as little girls we often tend to roleplay as mothers/caretakers so we grow up learning that while it's good to have fun and be children one day this will end and we'll have to learn to be the primary role model for our own children. Boys by contrast aren't really taught the same level of responsibility, or possess it instinctively until they start hitting their late teens when they are expected to "man up" so to speak. So that's probably why part of the reason girls are more able to resist Neverland's magic then boys. We know we absolutely have to grow up, we just don't have to lose that childlike wonder about the world when we get older. After all if girls completely lost that childlike spark while maturing it would make it harder for us to understand our own children half as well. So in a way girls get the best of both worlds where we can be both mature and still appreciate the joy of youth in a way boys don't. Plus all women know that men never truly "grow up' so to speak, that's why they rely on us for so much even as adults.
Anyone else love how Maggie wouldn't stand for Hook talking shit about her parents? But Jack swallows it because their dad has let him down so many times which gave Hook his opening.
Not to mention Jack might be slightly jealous of Maggie since his parents especially his dad took time for her but he didn’t come to his baseball game.
@@bursegsardaukar Ain't it the truth? Because of this inspite of their kidnapping Hook for a short time was the father figure to Jack that Peter wasn't.
Yea, that's what I like about her.
His mother comes to his games in fairness. His father wasn’t making the effort.
Do you realise just how much weight an "F" from Mr. Smee carries? Her chances of getting into Harvard just got slimmer.
Tyler Fisher he gave me an F and I’ve spent the last ten years cleaning poop out of urinals at a bowling alley. The league guys think it’s funny to “sport crap” as they say.
Nope, she had to settle for Trinity College instead. 😉
She had to go to Brown.
@Tyler Fisher I agree, now Maggie must feel that she will never graduate from pirate school with her being on a pirate ship, haha.
"He took my toy! She hit my bear! I want a potty, I want a cookie, I want to stay up!"
Dustin rules as Hook!
"He took my toy! She hit my bell! I want to potty! I want a cookie! I want to stay up! I want- I want- I want- Me- Me- Me- Me- Mine- Mine- Mine- Mine- Now- Now- Now... HEAUGH!"
How does Spielberg think this is his worst movie! Shows what a hack he is when he can't see how good this movie is
That part is funny!
My dad used to love this scene when I was a kid, and as an adult I realize it’s because Hook’s communicating to kids what a hassle they can be and gives them some empathy, but it turns straight into evil when he says her parents didn’t want her and liked life without her better. Sure, maybe there’s a few parents who do, but a lot of parents don’t. The fact that he can go from truth to a lie so smoothly is what makes him so scary 💀💀💀
He may not have even been lying, he could have truly believed those things. Which is scarier imo.
"An F?! He gave me an F?!?!"
Hermione would've just given in right then and there!!
Ha Ha Ha Funny :)
Maggie is Hermione
@@brittweasley7184
way more likeable than Hermione
@queenmismatched I found that funny how Maggie was concerned that she got an "F" since she knows that she's not really in school and it's not like that "F" would go on her permanent record.
Hook vs Hermione
Hermione wins
That awkward moment when you realize Hook is 100% right. This part probably pissed off alot of parents
Parents: Damn it! They're on to us!
LMFAO!
hell yeah
It's so true though.
The Donald Don't let Barron see this
Using partial truth with a smile can trick anyone into anything. Hook would be amazing in a commission based retail position.
Well he is a pirate . Piracy took a lot more than a cutlass and cannons . You had to be able to talk and sell merchants stuff , fool and bribe people .
Or politics.
Lie??? Me??? HAAAAHAAHHAAAAHAAAAA!!!! NEVER!!! HHHHHAAAAAAA!!!! LMFAO That laugh kills me!!!!!
The truth is far too much fun
My parents once told me they wanted to have a son because both of them already enjoyed their time together, made some savings and "felt" the need to enrich their existance by forming a family and raising a new being.
Of course, that was the only significative and endearing talk I had with them before they started working 24/7 and the only time I was able to see them... was when they were sleeping after a very long exhausting day. I used to read aloud my own books during bedtime.
AND NOW I'M DOING EXACTLY THE FREAKING SAME WITH MY KIDS!
...
Adulthood is complex.
Hook may just be manipulating the two into joining him as part of his plan, but what if this little "why parents hate their children" lesson is like a window into Hook's personal backstory. Think about it; what if Hook lived in a loveless childhood home with negligent parents who abused him, paid little attention to him and probably even tried to dispose of him on more than one occasion just so they won't have to deal with him anymore? It would've made more sense for his character. A man who has no concept of love since he was never given any when he was a child himself because his parents HATED him.
First movie I've ever seen where a brother and his sister don't fight/argue with each other
Hermione Granger's reaction to getting an F would've been the same as Maggie's.
Hermione Granger would've grabbed one of Hook's hooks and committed suicide right there.
The sad thing about James Hook is that what he says perfect makes sense to him, he is not a liar, in his mind at least, he genuinely believes that he is telling them the truth and considering what a messed up childhood he had resulting in his cynical attitude towards the relationship between child and parent which is a reflection of his own dark relationship he had with his own mother when he was a little boy and the way she attempted to indoctrinate him to carry on the family tradition and be a pirate captain just like her, something he originally did not want to be, which makes his attempt to indoctrinate Peter’s kids come full circle in what, in a sad twist of irony, is what originally happened to him. Maybe that’s why he was so hell-bent on brainwashing Peter’s children, as a misguided attempt to vent his frustration from his own insecurities about the unresolved childhood trauma he endured from his mom when he was their age.
it’s also kind of sad since the last thing Hook does before he’s devoured by the crock clock is call for his mother.
What are you talking about?? Hook was in Eton, probably a Stuart's bastard. We never learn of his chikdhood except it for sure was strict and rather cheerless.
That inhale of breath got me weak😂
1:26
1:08
"Loves you? Isn't that the uhh the uhh..."
"The L word captain"
Maggie protests against Hook with disobedience by attempting to tear off the hook and bravely uses her freedom of speech. She's so much like her great-grandmother Wendy when she refused to forget her parents.
"Why parents hate their children"
This same dynamic also applies to how most politicians think about their constituents too.
Most politicians do hate their constituents.
This scene hits so differently as a parent 😂
He mades his voice much much deeper...but it sounds good I can't imagine another actor for this roll
Growing up, every kid wanted to be Peter Pan; now that we're all adults with kids, we come to realize that Hook was the better option. I love this scene.
Yup
Nope, I just don't see the appeal in being a crooked, jaded that hunts after an immortal kid that stay young forever when you off doing your own thing FAR AWAY!
Why does the internet side with every villain even if they were actually in the wrong?
@@morbidsearch
Morons think being contrarian makes them look smart.
@@morbidsearchEh. It’s the popular contrary opinion faze when you’re growing up. They like to believe their viewpoint is special with a hint of edge lol They don’t realize how much of a hell it is being Captain Hook.
Being as carefree and being heroic on the side as Pan still appeals to me as an adult.
Dustin Hoffman did a fantastic job as hook. Even as a kid I repeated his lines just bc they made me laugh.
“Lie? Me? Hahaha... never. “
As an adult, I like this sequence ever more. Because he's right.
When I was a kid, I thought what hook was saying was just the mean words of a wicked pirate. Now some 25 years on, I realize, he was right the whole time. All parents want to do is pacify their kids, just to have some quiet moments to themselves.Now I know why my dad went to the local pub every night.
How did him going to the pub pacify you?
Why didn't he just get rid of you if he didn't want you?
a REAL parent would never think that their children are a trouble or an obstacle, a real parent really enjoys life with their children and educates them with all the value that a human being deserves. If you have bad parents it is because the way of raising children has changed, and now adults are more useless and childish. Kids grow up with rotten childhoods in modernity
Yeah, no wonder why special snowflakes always there to destroy these days.
So that's why parents demand most entertainment industry to make a children's show that is safe for kids so kids will just calm down.
No wonder why Care Bears exist.
They say captain hook and his men were the first lost boys, but they grew up and became pirates having never known their parents love for them.
Maggie was such strong character. Hook trying to manipulate her. Maggie looks him in the eye and tells him he's a bad man. Then tries to rip off his hook telling him off how she hates him. So strong. Then as she's dragged out of the room she demands her brother hear shouting never land makes you forget, run home. The lore is never land does make you forget the real world. Jack completely forgets who his father is his father, and his former life because he was manipulated. But not Maggie. She never forgot. She sang her mom's song. When her dad appeared to save her at the end she immediately recognized him. Such a strong female character at such a young age. And props to the kid that plays her. I think Maggie is over looked and under rated. But she has few scenes and her co stars are big names. Love this movie. There's to many great Scenes. And the freaking soundtrack. Top 5 favorite movies
As a parent, I think that what he says is half-true, half-wrong ;)
Special mention for the "I want, I want, I want, me, me, me, my, my, my, now, now, now !" part !
I'm still shocked that this film has gotten a lot of hate from film critics because they said that the tone and screenplay was too sweet and happy and Spielberg himself said that he was disappointed with how the film turned out, even though this film became a huge cult classic over the years.
I'm bummed that Steven Spielberg was disappointed with this movie as for the critics movies back then didn't please them then and now years later that's more of a reality it just goes to show even if you put all the heart blood sweat and tears critics will never appreciate films but the absolutely funny thing these critics are not only hypocrites but no matter how many times they complain about certain film franchises there still going strong like godzilla, transformers, star wars ,etc just to name a few it's funny they put all there engery money and big mouths into putting a movie down and what's even funnier they fail because the franchise is still continuing and makes alot of money Soo ummm one question what's the point of having movie critics because the sad truth is there not happy until they make people miserable over a movie that they didn't like all because it didn't meet the critics expectations that means critics don't appreciate what is given but whos opinion is more important on wether a movie is good the audience who have a opened mind to give the film a chance or critics who upon seeing the slightest thing that they don't like disregard it as garbage well in my opinion it's the audience because like I said before they have a open mind and are willing to give the film a chance so bottom line is the critics can bitch and complain until they run out of breath because I see these critics running out of breath more quickly than any of these franchises going away anytime soon well at least we know who will go first oh well
So very true ... all up until the moment where he says, "before you were born, they were happier." That's the only lie in the whole thing.
+S1RWats Indeed and Peter at the beginning of the movies probably would have agreed with Hook. Then with the help of Tink and the lost boys he rediscovers the joys of being a child and realises that despite all the responsibilites that come with children, they also bring joy to your life. That why his joy at being a father is what allows him to fly again.
Actually, I don't believe that Hook is lying here either. Take a look at Peter Banning, and at Peter Pan. Peter ignored his family entirely, they were at best, a convenience. As Peter lived, he was entirely self-indulged. If you go back to the original stories of Peter Pan, Peter loved the thrill of the fight so much, that he would jump sides, and start attacking his own lost boys. Entirely self-indulged. Now some parents transition quite nicely, realizing that their world now is their kids' world. Some parents fail to make that transition. I really don't see Pan/Banning making that transition. So then his self-indulgent world becomes cluttered by his kids. So the way Hook described it would be in fact how Pan/Banning saw it, the kids were a burden to him. Before they were born, he was happier.... he was free.
Yeah following Hook's logic that would make no sense: I mean isn't it kinda great that she is born then? Peter Pan is her dad....
Give it a few years and get back to me.
Just admit you don't your kids folks... Its ok...
This was such an AMAZING fucking movie! I was 6 when I first saw this. I'm 25 now, and this hasn't aged a bit. Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams were PERFECT for their roles. This is hands down the BEST Disney movie ever made.
Dustin Hoffman's lead role in Teri Garr's 1982 family comedy, Tootsie must have given Robin Williams the idea to do his 1993 family comedy, Mrs. Doubtfire.
Andrew Wilson Damn that's right, they BOTH played cross-dresser roles LOL XD
This wasn't made by Disney. It was made TriStar Pictures. And yes, this movie is fucking awesome.
And Tootsie's talented comedic genius, Teri Garr is now diagnosed with multiple sclerosis.
Spielberg says its his worst movie. Spielberg doesn't know shit!
“Smee, flunk the maggot”😆
I would have loved to see Alan Rickman in this part ...
Honestly, Alan Rickman would have made a great captain hook
OMG YOU ARE SO RIGHT!!!!! He would be so good at it!
Turn to page 394!
Brilliant acting Dustin!!!!!!! ^ ^
what about the little girl- she was excellent, too
His hook is almost sad. Like he’s ready to retire but damn it I’ve still got this Peter Pan bull to deal with then I can move somewhere with decent WiFi
@@piercestewart2045 No I actually hated this whole movie. What a piece of boring trash.

Whats funny is that dustin hoffman has 6 children in real life! :)
Who would know better?
He probably get this from experience.
And I believe Steven Spielberg also has 6 or 7. Double the experience points!
His son Max Hoffman actually played the younger Peter Pan from the flashbacks in this film.
I agree 100% with Hook! Why bother to lie when the truth is much more interesting?
U see child your parents used to stay up all night just to watch the sunrise before u were born they were happy omg this is gold
"The truth is far too much fun" oooh I love how mischievous that line is.
When I was around 8 years old and saw this scene, I told my mother: "Mom, I think he's right." She became embarassed and said: "Well, sort of." :D
All these years of watching Hook, I never stopped to realize that Captain Hook was threatening Jack when he tells him "Jack, you are home" while putting his hook up to Jack's face
@Tito O He was kind of making Jack feel like he is home by legally adopting him and granting any wish Jack wished for since much later in the movie when Jack was playing baseball, Hook said to him "this is for all the games you daddy missed, Hook would never miss your games son." For these reasons, Jack started to think of Hook as a father when his real father Peter said "Jack give me your hand and we'll go home" with Jack saying "I am home" while coming close to Hook. However, Jack got a change of heart feeling happy that Peter was his dad after hearing Rufio tell Peter that he wishes that Peter was his dad.

The cute, little urchin in the front row 😂🤣 Classic
damn man. never really thought that much about how evil this makes hook out to be. taking kids to neverland brainwashing them into hating and then forgetting their parents and just leaving them to live the rest of their days as kids. i watched this a lot as a kid and all i ever really took in from this was 'i want, i want, i want, mee, me, me,me, mine,mine, mine, now, now, now 'gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.'
But he's right. How is truth evil?
@@mariacillan9668 Because he's using a certain truth, to brainwash kids into a depressing existence of mistrust and loss of hope. It's obvious. He uses 'the truth', at least his version of it, for evil purposes
Only a human being who hates their kids would bring them here to this insane world. If they loved you, you would never have been born.
"I want a potty." XD

His laugh set me up for adulthood. I mimic that laugh to this day including the intake of breath he does after haha
As a child, I thought Hook was just being mean and was trying to make Maggie cry. As the parent of a two-year-old, I'm like, "Shit, did Hook have kids?!" Shit's too real.
it is sad to see that parents only see their children as obstacles, you are only parents looking for excuses to get away from their children, that's why they end up alone and sad, because of the lack of GOOD parental attention
Fuck you all
@@mariananda5733 Do you have kids?
hook's child rant at 0:50 lol
Favorite part 1:15 “That’s not true, Jack. You’re a liar!” I swear this was stuck in my head days after hearing it
1:42 this man was roasting before roasting was a BIG thing
What's oddly endearing is that after this Hook puts all his energy into making Jack his son. Peter was so neglectful and so distant for so long he didn't even have to convince Jack much to join him. Often makes me wonder what would have happened had Jack stayed with Hook in Neverland.
Hook is an underrated movie. I ❤ this entire movie. Always found it to be a Classic. Not just saying that because of Robin Williams' tragic passing. Complete Respect to all involved making this film happen. The dialogue, acting & soundtrack all Brilliant 🙌❤😀
Do you know why Maggie tried to take his hook ? I think it's because she knew that without his hook, Captain Hook is nothing.
Well she's more observant.
I wonder how many kids would fear a made up bad grade more than what really matters, just to get an "A"
We indoctrinate our kids so much to conform to the system. That the grades matter so much. It honestly makes sense that the F offends her so much.
I used to think his plan was lame... I watch this now and just think sarcastically back "Uhm... because they're toxic? Pissed that they can't live their dreams through us? Because they can't handle the fact that we'll fit into a secular, logical cookie cutter mold?"
But let's face it, only the strong (those capable teaching true values, empathy and discipline) ought to have kids.
And this is why I’m never gonna be a parent! XD
Pathetic
Merry G. Is it pathetic if I’m being honest? I don’t see you raise little brats?
@@maxkennedy7430 It is pathetic because you allow yourselves to be influenced by the media so as not to have children.
I don't have children but I wish with all my heart to have them, since I am probably infertile
Merry G., have you tested to see if you’re infertile? Even if you are, there are other ways to have children, like adoption.
Amazing. Absolutely fucking amazing.
1:02 he says this bit without an ounce of self-awareness
That's why villians are smart not stupid
This movie is completely underrated. Dustin Hoffman's performance was so good, he's the first person I think of whenever someone mentions Captain Hook.
"How did you know about that?"
Anyone else ever wonder how Hook knew about Peter not attending Jack's baseball game? Did he spy on them somehow?
Yes. It’s implied in the beginning that he had a spy when Jack noticed his baseball was missing. Then Maggie said it was a mean, scary man at the window who stole it by claiming he was a window washer.
@@bloodyrose1985 Not only that, Dustin was also the voice of the Pan Am plane captain. Which could indicate that it was Hook all along in disguise. I always had the theory that Hook and Smee searched for Peter for years in all parts of the world in alternating disguises, kidnapping other Peters' children (thinking he'd caught the real one) but then eventually found him in Banning.
This is so insidious too because hook is in the position of power so the kids don’t have a lot of options whether to believe him or not
Hook is talking about my parents!
1:26 I'm dying on the floor laughing!!!!
lol i wish hook was my school teacher at school, even though he is evil
Exactly how does Hook telling the blunt truth make him evil?
The truth hurts so in a way, he’s hurting the children by telling the truth.
@@bursegsardaukar its always better to be honest than to fib, no matter how devastating the truth is imo

BRILLIANT.
when your little u think hook is bad and evil...
as a adult you nod and think he's kinda right there.
He was giving them good advice.
This character and what he says here really makes some people lose their minds and get CRAZY defensive! I dont ascribe anything personal to it, I just think the dynamic is hilarious. But on a more psychological note, I think children AND parents can be selfish. But children are expected to be selfish, they cant help it. Parents are expected to be selfLESS. But FEELING selfish doesn't make you a bad parent it's what you DO with those feelings that's important. Also nothing wrong with wanting or not wanting kids. People who have them are not better or more selfless than those that dont. Ever had a kid that said 'I didnt ASK to be born!'? Ever said it yourself? It makes parents angry because it's true as much as what Hook says in the moment. But it's also true that the decision to have children is by origin a selfish one, (selfish isn't necessarily a negative word) it does call for you to make sacrifices and selfless decisions but you're not a saint because you do it, after all you chose that path/responsibility. It's just on you to decide if you can do that without excuse/fail because once a kid arrives, if you decide at any point that you cant uphold that end of the deal, you cant undo it. That's why I feel that you can never underthink that decision and I can at least respect those who are super honest about their feelings whether it's both or one or the other. Its not a competition nor a personal indictment since only you have the right answer for YOU.
Modern society teaches parents to be irresponsible, and to those who have no children, it teaches them not to love them or never want them. We live in times where adults behave like children and children live in loneliness and depression. no modern parent really knows how to raise their kids, parents today are all useless idiots
"Staying up to watch the sunrise." Is that what they call it now?
It looks like he really is enjoying the role of Captain Hook.
I wasn't wrong was I?
Me watching this as a kid: he’s evil, parents don’t feel like that at all!!
Me watching as a parent: weeeellllll
Thats really sad
@@mariananda5733 , it's not sad, it's the truth. Nobody without children can ever understand the magnitude of raising them. We have children because they are magical, wonderful, loving, and enriching little human beings. We have children because we want to bring magic into the world. The world would be a dark place without children for sure. However, we ALL make that decision without a clear understanding of what the responsibility actually entails. Until you have children, you cannot understand the sacrifice that it takes to raise them. All the little things that are so hard, but that are not immediately apparent. When you have children, you're entire identity becomes wrapped up in your children. Quiet moments alone with your partner become rare. Time to focus on your personal growth is extremely limited. You whole primary focus shifts to maintaining and teaching your children, and this is not something that you expect when you decide to have children. It doesn't matter how much experience you have with children, you cannot know the sacrifice until you have them! And it's hard. Children don't always come hardwired to be sweet and magical. I just had to put my two small kids in their beds because they won't stop hitting each other. They are still learning how to process their feelings, and so they often resort to venting those feelings through instinctive ways, which are obviously not acceptable. And for the next 15 years, it is my responsibility to keep those instincts in check for my children, and it gets tiring. There's no day off. Now, that being said, we all have a choice to make as parents. Despite the ring of truth to what Hook says here, there can be no denying the magic that a child carries within their little souls. As parents, we have to decide to nurture that spark of magic, protect it, and love it and vessel that carries it. We have to understand that the light within children is WORTH the sacrifice, no matter how great. That's what separates a good parent from a bad parent. There is no sin in recognizing the difficulty of parenthood. There is no sin in longing after our younger, easier, more carefree days before children. There is no sin in recognizing that we fall short of perfection. The sin occurs when we deliberately cease to make our efforts to cultivate the light, the magic, in the souls of children. Or worse, when we deliberately extinguish that light. There are bad parents out there, horrific people who refuse to care for their charges, or willfully abuse them. There's is no abyss that is too dark for those people. Hook is not lying here, and I'm not a bad parent for saying so. I'm a realist. The lie here is implied, which is that the magic that we bring into the world with children is not worth the sacrifice it takes. The sacrifice is absolutely worth it! In the movie, Peter sees his children as obstacles until he remembers the magic they hold in their hearts (the same magic we all hold that is dampened by age and cynicism). Peter WAS happier without children! We all were! Children are hard to handle on a constant basis. However, our lives are much richer and more joyful with children in them. Our lives are full of more love when children are around. The WORLDis richer and more joyful with children it it! This is why, despite facing that moment that all parents come to when they realize that their decision to have children resulting in a sacrifice that is more than they want to give, good parents stick it out and try their best, and provide their children with love and nurture. Because they recognize that all children are indeed worth sacrificing for.

The girl’s, Maggie’s, performance has lived in my head rent free for 27 years.
One of my earliest crushes was on Dustin Hoffman’s Captain Hook.
When I was a 4 year old kid watching this on VHS I wanted Jack to forget his family and remain under Hook's tutelage.
Maggie: You’re a liar!
The Architect: Denial is the most predictable of human responses.
I heard no lies from captain hook
*Turns accusingly at my parents*
Hoffman sure managed to Dust off the acting script for the role he was In!
To be honest Captain Hook is speaking the truth sometimes parents tell us stories to shut us up and conk us out to stupefy us to sleep
0:54
I used to rewind that part so much as a kid! Made me laugh every time. 😂😅😅😅
Love this scene. I recite it to my children when they act up. A lot of what he says is true, sort of. He is spot on about kids being that way but not about parents hating their children.
God damn Dustin Hoffman nailed that role. His voice is masterful
