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.

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."

Tinker
Bell was designed and animated by Walt Disney veteran animator, Marc
Davis (who supervised the animation and contributed to the design of:
Cinderella, Alice, Wendy, Tinker Bell, Aurora, Maleficent, and Cruella
De Vil). Without the aid of a vocal performance, he relied on Tinker
Bell's facial and body expressions for the animation; taking inspiration
from previous pantomime characters such as Mickey Mouse's dog Pluto and
Dopey from "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs." Once "Peter Pan" was
released, Tinker Bell received critical acclaim and would continue to be
one of Disney's trademark characters. She has become one of the main
spokes-characters for The Walt Disney Company and one of its most
popular and iconic characters since her creation. Many people remember
the opening to the TV show "The Wonderful World of Disney," as Tinker
Bell would fly towards the center of the screen with a thin wand in her
hand, waving it, and causing fairy dust to fly out towards the viewer!
From veteran Walt Disney animator Andreas Deja:
"To me Tinker Bell is perfection. Her character arc in the story is very strong. Because of her affection for Peter Pan she is jealous of Wendy, which gets her into trouble. But toward the end of the film she saves Peter's life as well as the other kids. Her animation throughout is flawless. Occasionally based on live action reference, Marc animated her beautifully. She always feels like a small figure, but the acting has great range and subtlety. Marc said he really enjoyed the challenge of a mute character, where pantomime is the name of the game."

Because
of the public's love of the character, DisneyToon Studios decided to
create a series of films staring Tinker Bell; and the movies were
extremely popular and very well received. The voices of Mae Whitman,
Raven-Symoné, Lucy Liu, America Ferrera, Kristin Chenoweth and Pamela
Adlon are featured in the series of films. Each of the first four films
is set around one of the four seasons: "Tinker Bell," 2008 centered
around Spring, "Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure," 2009 around Autumn,
"Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue," 2010 around Summer, and
"Secret of the Wings," 2012 around Winter. A fifth title, "Pixie Hollow
Games," 2011 was supposed to be based on all four seasons, but it was
released before "Secret of the Wings" and the film was scaled down. A
sixth film, entitled "The Pirate Fairy," was released on April 1, 2014,
followed by the release of a seventh film "Tinker Bell and the Legend of
the NeverBeast" on March 3, 2015. The film series was a spin-off of and
prequel to the animated feature film "Peter Pan" and to its sequel,
"Return to Never Land."

After
Captain Hook and Mr. Smee capture 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 dips her feet in ink from Hook's ink well and walks across a map of Neverland. She finally marks an X at Hangman's
Tree, the entrance to Peter Pan's hiding place. 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 multi-cel setup of Captain Hook and Tinker
Bell. Hook is
eyes and mouth open, and his gold hook is in clear view; and Tinker Bell is full figure and has her matching wings cel. A standout
addition to any Walt Disney vintage animation art
collection!
