Fun fact about me! I was in a production of Peter Pan in middle school. We had a female Captain Hook and I realized I was bi when I got a huge crush on her. The kicker? I played the crocodile. 😬

I haven't clicked on a video so fast in a while. Captain Hook's costume has always been one that's both frightened and amused me, especially in the haunted mansion sing-along. Wonderful as always!

FUN FACT: Hans Conried was not the only actor who provided live action reference for Hook. While Conried did some of the live action reference, there was also another actor who actually did most of that side of the work: his name was Henry Brandon. Brandon is probably most famous for playing Barnaby in Laurel & Hardy's "Babes in Toyland," and Chief Scar in the John Wayne movie "The Searchers." According to Brandon, the animators felt that they needed someone leaner with more expressive body motions for many of Hook's scenes, so Brandon actually ended up doing quite a few of the scenes in the reference work. HOWEVER, much of what was kept of Conried was his facial expressions, and of course his voice. If you read Brandon's biography, I think the author says it best: "Captain Hook sounds like Hans Conried, but he moves like Henry Brandon."

fun fact the Japanese voice actor for Disney's Captain Hook Chikao Ohtsuka later found fame as the voice behind the legendary pirate Gold Roger in hit anime/manga Echiro Oda's One Piece.

What have we learned? Dan is a master at ending segways!!!! “Thanks for Walken” indeed!!

Yo! I never even realized that he was modeled after Spanish royalty! He's totally a Hapsburg! Look at that jawline! 🤣 also, WTF with the living topiary Hook!?! That's amazing and terrifying!

Did anyone ever discover why his hook is (almost) always that weird shape instead of the more iconic question mark shape?

Now I love captain hook and everything, but now that it's done, I've gotta do this: LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! A WARM HAND OF OUR WELCOME, FOR THE COSTUME EVELUTION OF: JAFAR!!!! 🐍

Man, your laugh never fails to cheer me up!

By far, Hook is my favorite Disney character followed closely by The Mad Hatter. Both are just great!

This was such an amazing video! One of my favorite versions of Captain Hook, even though he didn't appear in the Disney Parks in this version, is the version from Once Upon A Time portrayed by Irish actor Colin O'Donohue because of his story arc. In the show he went from being a devilishly wicked villain to a hero. We even get a glimpse of his back story. Can you do an evolution of Wendy Darling and her brothers please?

My Celtic literature professor played Hook at Disneyland for a while - he was a cool dude

Seeing 1971 Smee, I now want a Smee costume evolution. Please do it, Dan.

Ya know if Dan doesn't end up producing DisneyDan on Ice I'm gonna riot

I was scared of costume characters as a child and I would have been scared out of my mind at the topiary Hook. It's a gorgeous costume and I love the way they brought him out but it would have been terrifying for me.

Follow the Leader Hook is without a doubt the best looking one, really accurate to the character and fits with the live face actor Peter Pan and Wendy costumes. Hope they change from the Mascot head to the live face performer as at least then people can put on a voice and have a great experience with hook the same way we do with Maleficent, Gaston and everyone else.

I’m putting in my vote for a Tick Tock Croc costume evolution.

The key to good joke telling: Punchline then straight into insane cackling.

Since it’s the 40th anniversary of the Care Bears, do a video of the Care Bears next!

that 80s ice hook changed my life

Captain Hook truly has a costume evolution that spans a good majority of the entirety of Disney history! I think topiary Hook is my new favorite thing 🤣

Was always disappointed that Hook was a mascot character. He was my favorite Disney villain as a child and has a personality that would have been so fun to interact with.

10:50 I need a slightly toned down version of this costume as a show character on a cruise, for a villains or pirates night, with a meet and greet afterwards. I think this is pretty close to my perfect Hook, but I prefer a face character to the mascot version for him. (Mostly because Pan is always a face character, and having him chased by mascots always felt weird to me, even as a kid.)

For a future video, please do a costume evolution video of the Peanuts gang including Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy and more!

The Elegant Captain Hook! One Of My Top 3 Best Disney Villains! 😍😍😍 Do Evolution of Mr. Smee (Hook's Idiotic Companion) Next

Best Captain Hook design and costume hands down was in the movie “ Hook”, gorgeous costume.

May I request hades from hercules for a future evolution? He's definitely a super stylistic villian look wise so would be cool to see how's hes looked over the years

Yes I love Captain Hook it is one of my favorite Disney villains right next to scar and king candy

Dan so happy your covered my favorite villain ❤❤ so exited to see how the Captain had changed

I think we learned that it's not about the adventure, it's about the friends we made along the way

its NEVER a Disney Dan video without him laughing hystericaly at something small

How many of you regularly go to sea?! 🤣 Gee man thanks for pouring salt in the wound. 😅 For context I'm a landlocked marine biologist. Great video, I've never hit subscribe so fast. I love captain hook and this was fun to watch. ❤️

The best part of my day!!! These videos make me so excited for my upcoming Disneyland trip 😊.

your videos are addictives too. I'm serious. Your energy is inspiring ;)

0:57 Fun Fact: this photo is from the 1950 broadway musical and Hook is played by Boris Karloff, famously known as the original Universal Frankenstein

Thank you for this episode greatly appreciated, hope Alice/Baloo are next 😊

Crazy that modern hook came out in 1999! When I was a kid I have a weird memory of seeing the modern hook and then around the corner was the older designed hook. It was so weird.

Kids love pirates So long as they never actually learn the details of how pirates worked.

I love this series!!

I actually have a really funny story regarding Captain Hook in the parks, well technically the Disney cruise. When I was younger my favorite Disney movie was Peter Pan and when I was on the Disney cruise for the first time I made it my goal to meet Peter Pan and Captain Hook and they happened to be doing meet and greets right next to each other. So first I saw Peter Pan and had a pretty nice conversation with him, then I went to see Captain Hook and then Peter Pan noticed and then he said something along the lines of “hey give me one of my lost boys back!” And then the cast members jumped in saying that I was on either Captain Hooks crew or peter pans. So Peter Pan, Captain Hook, and the cast members were essentially fighting over me.

My day is made when I see a Disney Dan video

When I was 6 I had a obsession with Captain Hook😂

Please do the Three Little Pigs and the Big Bad Wolf next!

Captain Hook is my favourite Disney villain. Hands down.

I'm sure Dan has got all these pirate puns on..."deck"

I’d love to see an evolution of Wendy Darling!!!

Waiting for evolution of Mr. Smee, Huey, Dewey, and Louie, Ludwig Van Drake, Dr. Facilier, Phineas and Ferb, Robin Hood, Snoopy, Charlie Brown, Woodstock, and other Peanuts walk around costume characters at Knott's Berry Farm, evolution of Ernie and Bert, evolution of Scooby-Doo, and other Hanna Barbera costume characters, evolution of The Banana Splits, evolution of Timon from The Lion King, evolution of The Mad Hatter, the Queen Of Hearts, evolution of The Beast from Beauty and The Beast(1991), etc. 🎠🎡🎡🎡🎢🎢🎢

Hope the Captain Hook from the school musical “The Trial of Captain Hook” is included 🎵 YOUR A CROOK, CAPTAIN HOOK, I HOPE THEY THROW THE BOOK.. 🎵

Well, like the song says: 🎵 When your a Professional Pirate...... *YOU'RE ALWAYS IN THE BEST OF COMPANYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY*

Not even 15 seconds in, and Dan is already laughing his ass off at one of his own jokes, I love it 😂

Captain Hook is one of My Favorite All Time Disney Villains❤️.

Captain Hook is my favorite Disney villain of all time.

His laugh is so contagious

W DAN! DISTORY IS THE BEST THING ON HIS CHANNEL

Please make evolutions for Captain Jack Sparrow and Hades

Please a costume evolution of Snow White or Ariel in princess version.

Hooray your doing the evolution of Captain Hook my favorite Pirate Captain and my second favorite Disney Villain🪝🏴‍☠️❤️😍.

My all time favorite disney character ❤

Dan wants hair like Captain Hook

Your hooked!!! That funny.

That was so close to what I was expecting the mad hatter evolution

I always like the original captain hook mascot better , because he has that original pink outfit and less teeth showing,also I used to have peter pan books growing up.

The pun at the beginning got me lol

I still wanna see a stage-show where Hook fights Jack Sparrow! XD

Dan, might I say that I love your distory intros much love and pls keep this up❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

There's a Tinkerbell movie that shows the back story of Captain Hook, who's played by Tom Hiddleston by the way. It's not a bad movie.

Can you do a costume evaluation of Jafar please.

I love what you do

Capt Hook has always freaked kids out with that menacing huge head. Why he and Smee were at the Minnie and Me brunch 15 years ago while we were celebrating my niece’s 4 th birthday I’ll never know. She’s still traumatized as are all the kids who ran away from the hook man that morning😅 Needless to say, I did not get seconds on my Mickey waffles.

Also can someone PLEASE make 15:51 through 15:53 a meme??

Hook should be a face character, so he can speak!

Hello I love your videos so much!😊🎉

When my dad was little he went to California Disney Land. Goofy stole my dads hat and he chased Goofy until he got his hat back. And captain hook put his hook to my dad's neck😂

You might say this subject, has me hooked.

I APPRECIATE YOUR OPENING JOKE, SIR!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love all of these looks except for the first two in this video.

Loveeee this :)

1971 Captain Hook mask looks more like himself because he is always huffing about Pan.

amazing content creator

Follow the Leader Hook reminds me of Judge Doom from WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT

Can you do an evolution of Snow White, Cinderella, Alice, and Aurora? It would be interesting to see if much has changed although they’re some of the oldest characters in the park. Or the Mad Hatter and White Rabbit?

I vote on a costume evolution of the Cat in the Hat

9:17 Rabbit and Tigger are so appalled.

We learned that dreams no longer come true on Disney World.

Please do a herbie evolution

I'll never forget Disney Dan clapping his hands and saying "Work, it, girl! Work, it, Hook!" 😂🤣 Thank you for that, Disney Dan! You rock, too and happy holidays, 2022! 🎄🎁🎄🎁

Wow already new video! Nice

Articulated Captain Hook,make it happen Disney!

rw:Love that Hook joke dude that was good ^_^ X-D

Hey Dan can you do a costume evolution of Alvin&thechipmunks please?

“Proud and insolent youth, prepare to meet your doom”

Hey Dan, today is my Birthday!!!

Seeing the opening of Disneyland will never not be terrifying, thank god the characters don’t look like that anymore 😂😂😂 Also I wonder how the actors that are face to face with the skin hugger Hook’s stay calm/have a straight face whilst acting with him 😂

Yay! My wish came true!!!!! :D FINALLY!!!!!!

Yessss sirrr

14:12 Happy Native American heritage month btw

i was aware of the Pete Costume

5:11 That's My Favorite Version of Captain Hook

Very interesting

Look at 2:55 and see Mickey like you never seen him before
