You know, there's trouble brewin' on the island. Women trouble. I wouldn't want this to go any farther, but... the cook told me that the first mate told him... that he heard that Pan has banished Tinker Bell. Whoa!

You've been most helpful." - Captain Hook
The
author J. M. Barrie first used Peter Pan as a character in a section of
the adult novel "The Little White Bird" in 1902. He returned to that
character with his stage play entitled "Peter Pan, or The Boy Who
Wouldn't Grow Up," which premiered in London on December 27, 1904. The
play ran until 1913, and it was later adapted by Walt Disney for the
animated feature film entitled, "Peter Pan," in 1953.
Captain
Hook was animated by legendary Frank Thomas and voiced by Hans Conried.
Conried was also the voice of George Darling, which is consistent with
the roles of "Peter Pan" for the stage. Conried was also an
accomplished actor, appearing on "I Love Lucy" where he played an
English tutor as well as
playing the character Wrongway Feldman on "Gilligan's Island." His
voice was so distinctive and so memorable that he was perfect for the
role of Captain Hook; as he had a wonderful way of conveying both the
rough gruff pirate role as well and the sly calculating villain.

production animation cel of Captain Hook without the background.
The legendary Frank
Thomas animated Captain Hook, and his first sketches were much more menacing than
the final product. Walt Disney felt the character was going to be too
frightening for children and so Thomas toned down his drawings. The
result is a wonderful villain and always rated as one the top
male villains in the Disney film world.
From Disney animator Andreas
Deja:
Many of you would agree that
Captain Hook is one of Frank Thomas' best creations. To some Frank is the best
animator who ever lived. - He used live action reference for a number of his
characters. In this case it was character actor Hans Conried who provided the
voice and acting reference for Hook. Frank was very critical about the way
other animators used live action. To him the acting ideas were all you needed,
but you still had to pass judgement on the footage and interpret what the actor
gave you. His animation never has that roto, floaty feel to it. For one thing
Frank was way too talented and smart to let that happen."
After Captain Hook and Mr. Smee captures Tinker Bell, they convince her that Wendy is responsible for coming between her and Peter Pan. Hook says that he will "shanghai" Wendy, explaining that he will "Take her to sea with us. With her gone, Peter will soon forget this mad infatuation." However, in order to capture Wendy, Hook needs to know the location of Peter's secret hiding place. After Hook promises not to lay a finger or a hook on Peter Pan, Tinker Bell reveals that Peter's home is Hangman's Tree. Hook grabs Tinker Bell in is left hand and says, "Ah, Hangman's Tree. So that's the entrance to his hiding place. Thank you, my dear. You've been most helpful." This is a fantastic cel of Captain Hook standing behind his map of Neverland, and after he has grabbed Tinker Bell in his hand (just before locking her inside of a lantern). Hook is eyes and mouth open, and his gold hook is in clear view. A great addition to any Walt Disney vintage animation art
collection!
