Peter Pan is the immortal child, full of optimism and life. His arch enemy is the adult and cynical Captain Hook.
What is Peter Pan grew up, got married, had kids, took a corporate job and forgot who he was?
This is the premise of the 1991 movie Hook.
Peter Pan is now Peter Banning (Robin Williams), married to Wendy’s (Dame Maggie Smith) granddaughter, Moira (Caroline Goodall). When Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman) kidnaps Peter’s kids, Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts) has to find Peter and bring back the boy she knew. But the Peter she finds is not the Peter she remembers. He has more in common with his arch enemy than the boy she knew.
I love this movie, it’s such an integral part of my childhood. What I still love about this movie more than twenty years later is that it’s about being an adult, but still remembering the child you were.
I recommend this movie.
