Oh this movie was a masterpiece oh it’s memory is GOLDEN in heart

I will never get over how good this sequel is---it had no reason to go this hard, but it did, and I am utterly amazed that no one has tried to recreate what they did since.

It was a movie with a heartfelt message for adults, marketed to kids. No wonder it didn't do well at the box office. You had to be a grownup to appreciate what Spielberg did in this wonderful movie.

Terry Brooks wrote this 'source material' in a book and the movie was an adaption of it. The movie was great but the book was amazing!

It was not "ahead of its time," it was made precisely when it was meant to be. It WAS appreciated very much when it came out, thanks.

I completely agree! Great comment. :)

And the stance....

Excellent comment

also watching the 2003 version made it more heartbreaking to see when i rewatched Hook again. same here i didn't understood the dialogue too on it as a kid since i was only 7 years old but still was so entertained of it. Also more shocking when i rewatched it in high school i never knew the director was Steven Spielberg that did this movie after repeatedly watching it like crazy lol.

@@Theaterg15 Ikr? I feel like watching the 2003 version, maybe Return to Neverland by Disney and Hook as a sort of fan-viewed trilogy was good because of how you see Peter and Wendy's relationship change as time goes by. I actually shed a tear when in Return Peter reunited and lamented a little at seeing Wendy.

It's time for you to grow up now.

The life she could have had with him 😞

@@deansmith9914 He was in love with her, but he could never admit it to himself because falling in love and being in a romantic relationship is something for people who grow up.

It kinda gives Sith vibes or similar notes to Palpatine theme

We got to play a pretty good arrangement of this score in the Texas Longhorn Band. It is a fun part for trombone.

The soundtrack was awesome!

John Williams did Harry Potter too

I dunno, I think the score when Short Round married that Ewok was the best…..

Maybe perhaps Michael J Fox

While Master Shifu kidnapped his kids

That’s honestly one of my favorite subtle things in this movie! The fact that he worked in that pose so often so you knew it was supposed to be an unconscious habit.

Haha I just noticed that, great attention to detail

I always loved how quickly he drops his fists from his hips when he sees the picture of "himself"... even as a kid of 10 or 11 when I first saw this. Thirty plus years later and it still makes me chuckle.

Yup

It’s still today one of the best movies ever made

As if you’re seeing a ghost of your past-life. A life you forgotten.

@@Coyoteprime yeah

At 2:40 you can hear the vocalization in the background of this song

The music adds to it as well.

It’s the “yes, boy” for me.

And the sad thing is he left Never Land to grow up because he wanted to become a father.

Very strange….

There are those that get typecast, then there are those who are truly versatile at their art like Maggie Smith here... whether as Wendy or Minerva McGonagall or Violet Crawley - where you can't imagine anyone else being in that role.

Nailed it 💯

FORREALS!!!!!

You should check out the episode Law and Order Svu he guest starred in. It really shows his range.

Laugh at me if you will, but even in Mork and Mindy, he showed range. He was silly, he was kind, he had heart. Even in that silly show (that I loved watching as a kid) he displayed his genius star power.

Yeah except when he left neverland she was already a grandmother so she raised Peter like a grandson when he knew Wendy as a child like him.

Wendy was never there long term, Tootles that is a question.

Peter grew up and got too busy with work stuff. He probably suppressed the memory of being Pan. It happens.

@@viciousLUAin the book Peter was also forgetful in general, Wendy tells him is Tink still alive and he says who like he has no idea who she is.

I mean it does kind of make sense in that he was a child when he met her and could only age in the real world, which he only ever spent any signifigant time in AFTER meeting Wendy. So the combined time he spent in the real world with Wendy (a life time for her, a year or two for him) aged him up enough so that when he saw Moira it awakend something within him, and he was able to see her as more than a female child / potental playmate and saw the future he could have. He never looked at Wendy in that way because he was too young, and because of his preexisting relationship with her as his friend, and/or mother.

Why that time zone?

1992 was this movie

@@Tylerpierre99 Wrong. This movie is from 1991

I think it's fine the way it is.

Yuck. I'd rather go back to 1986. Those were good times.

That because its NOT awkward.. Peter Pan never loved Wendy.. he really enjoyed taking her out on adventures with Michael and John in Neverland.. Wendy fell in love with Peter Pan

@@deansmith9914 I was making a joke and I was talking about the feelings on Wendy's side. Peter was her first love, that means every time she sees him, she's going to go back to that memory. And because she didn't end up with him, and she wasn't enough to make him come back, of course that's going to hurt. But because he's a part of her family now, she has to shove those feelings down and make it not awkward but it will always be there.

@@hannahpatwell5435 oh.. I am soo stupid that I didn't get your joke.. my bad

@@deansmith9914 it's cool, I've made mistakes like that as ✌🏻

@@hannahpatwell5435 aww thanks for being sooo cool.. I hope you enjoy and have a great weekend

It's makeup.

I first saw Maggie Smith in 1986 when 'Room with a View' was in the theaters. She was old then. I've loved her being old for 35 years. That's quite a trick !

This was my introduction to Maggie Smith. When I saw Harry Potter, I thought, 'how is she still alive'?

Sister act for me 1 and 2

when she says the stories are true, the tension then builds to the reveal of peter pan....... and with the background music

To be fair, they were children together... Peter kind of had a thing for her too; but, being Peter Pan, he wasn't quite ready to embrace it yet.

Is that right? Don’t you mean Clark Kent is the inspiration for Peter Banning?

i think its when wendy says heis now come back to seek his revenge warning him and the music background which is freaky even now it spooks me...... its a warning of what's to come and who peter once was.......

Yes Victorian era London

What if….

Wendy never grew up. She just got older. Peter grew up and forgot

That takes away the point of the story that connects directly to the original animation. The themes of growing up. The themes in this movie is about getting old and capturing your youth. Wendy is used as an example of someone who is pretty much on her last days. She's facing death. She's in a regrettable state where she now realises that children should cherish their youth and not be forced to grow up so fast. This is in contrast to young Wendy who was a maternal figure for Peter who always tried to steer him into growing up and stop acting like a child. Wendy's story is meant to be tragic. You can look at Moira as a youthful stand-in for an adult version of Wendy that did end up falling in love with Peter. It was a second chance for Peter since Wendy did move on and obviously had someone in her life. But Wendy would just die in front of Peter without his story ever having a happy ending. So Moira is a logical passing of the torch since he does see so much of Wendy in her. Plus just making Wendy and Peter find happiness does seem a bit cheap. Sorry, this was a bit of a waffle..

@@juliangrant9718 I get what you are saying, and I agree with you to an extent about Wendy's character and story in this version of Hook. And the tragedy of what 'could have been' is done very well. But when I was rewatching the film a while back, I had a hard time buying into Peter's reasoning for wanting to stay on Earth. The biggest problem is Moira. The character just isn't given enough screen-time or even have much of a character to stand out, and I don't buy the relationship between her and Peter. I get the idea of what you are saying the relationship between the two of them is, I just have a hard time seeing it because it isn't done very well. The more I think about how I would have done the movie, the more I started to picture Wendy being the one who ultimately won Peter over, and it held a lot more weight (due to their established history) than what this film does with Moira. The way how I envisioned it happening was Peter coming back to visit Wendy after the original adventure a few times but soon realizing that she's getting older and that she will be the same age as him soon, which begins to make him face harsh realities. By the time she is one or two years older, it hits him hard and is forced to confront the idea of her being a grown-up and it makes him question what he wants when seeing former Lost Boys being adopted by families. For me, Wendy makes more logical sense because while she may regret growing up as fast as she did, she is the one who could help Peter grow up and mature beyond his childhood, even be the one to keep him in check.

It's shows Wendy as an old lady in regret. She speaks of how she was once his only favor. And that she was expecting Pan to bust through during her vowels and stop it. But he never came. Ultimately Peter was always her love, but the tragedy of the story is that Peter realized his place in the world to long after to be with Wendy. The story of Wendy is a tragic one. Especially since the result of her not staying with Peter, she ended up living through 2 world wars hitting her country. Now, after watching Peter Pan 2003, i really do wish that Pan would have stayed with Wendy.

The crazy thing is that this movie came out 32 years ago, and the actress who played Grandma Wendy is still alive.

@@jtstevenson81 Maggie Smith was FIFTY-SEVEN when this was made. The makeup and all they used for her to appear so old was incredible.

Oh we all do ❤️

It's kind of explained in the film but it had something to do with the magic and with him being in Never land for so long that when chose to leave he forgot about this time there because he had to grow up. Wendy had never really lived there like Peter did just visited so it didn't have as much of an impact on her.

Peter was always very good at forgetting.

I've thought about that as well. The two movies have a bit of a blend of style, although the 2003 version has more CGI. I remember a fan-made old music video that combined scenes from both films that told an interesting story, although it sadly has been deleted for years now.

​@@tjjordan4207 aren't they both in a series? I always thought that hook was set after the 2003 film and is a sequel to it

@@JJJJ-lk8wj Due to being owned by separate companies, they are officially not set in the same universe as each other. But unofficially speaking, there's nothing stopping you from seeing the two as canon to each other (as neither company has denied or confirmed it), aside from the actors being different and one flashback sequence in Hook that is different from how it is done in the 2003 version.

@JJJJ yeah, especially with the no other girl held your favor the way I did, line. 2003 points that out with Hook saying he does have feelings? he has feelings for you. The movie making the emphasis throughout that she was the girl that he had feelings for. Plus it was kind of like some child love story.

@@tjjordan4207 According to the movie director he wanted the 2003 film to be a prequel to Hook. He even paid Dustin Hoffman to reprise his role as Hook, but the actor thought the film was too dark and gritty for him. He wanted to play a more comical villain role like the Disney version. However he gave the new Hook actor his blessing and even liked the film on release. Also another fun fact, when Hook was made, it was originally gonna be a sequel to the Disney classic. Stephen Spielberg was a huge fan of that film and wanted to take aspects from that film to place in his own movie. This is why Neverland looks so much more practical and magical; as well as colorful and similar in design to the 1955 version. Disney of course said “No” but allowed the film to be made.

What I thought could be a good answer for the question: What if Peter Pan grew up?, Is that I thought that, if Peter Pan ever grew up, Neverland wouldn't be the same without him!

what do you mean probably? that's literally the plot of the movie!

Captain Obvious strikes again!

This is an old suit

Well his memory of his mother, seems to be from the Victorian era, this movie is 1991, so around 100

Yikes 😂
