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 initially
designed by Milt Kahl animated by legendary Frank Thomas and Wolfgang
Reitherman. Hook voiced by Hans Conried who was also the voice of George
Darling, which is consistent with the roles of "Peter Pan" for the
stage. Conried was a well known actor including roles 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.
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."

Frank Thomas's first sketches of
Captain Hook 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 character and certainly one the
fan favorite male villains in the Walt Disney film world.
This
is a fantastic original production animation cel of Captain Hook on the deck of his pirate ship the "Jolly Roger." A large knees up image of the Captain as he peers through his telescope, that his being supported by his hood for a hand. A wonderful and action packed cel of
one of the greatest Disney Villains and a great addition to any
animation art collection!
