Plot: Steven Spielberg filters J. M. Barrie's {~Peter Pan} through a distinctly 1990s sensibility in Hook. Peter Pan has become Peter Banning (Robin Williams), a 40-year-old mergers and acquisitions lawyer with a permanent scowl on his face and a cellular phone in his belt. Banning has lost any memory of being Peter Pan, and he is also in danger of losing his wife Moira (Caroline Goodall) and two children, Jack (Charlie Korsmo) and Maggie (Amber Scott). Peter and his family travel to London to visit Granny Wendy (Maggie Smith) who recalls Peter's lost youth and asks him, Peter, dear, don't you know who you are? With Peter's children asleep in the same bedroom where the original Peter Pan story began, there is a blinding flash. Peter comes into the room to discover a note from Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman), informing Peter that he has kidnapped his children. Granny Wendy now tells him who he really is and encourages him to re-discover his happy thoughts, transform himself into the Peter Pan of the past, and go rescue his children. With the encouragement of Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts), Peter recalls the birth of his son and once again takes wing. Then it's off to Never Land to rescue his kids. ~ Paul Brenner, All Movie Guide

Hook.Popeye and Hocus Pocus
Added 9/5/2009

Great old movies all three that we purchased recently. Popeye was great although I understand did not do well at the cinema. Love Robin Williams so Hook had to be next. Hocus Pocus again another great movie which we will watch again and again. Also our grand children love these DVDs so they are added to our collection. All light hearted comedy no violence and all very funny,

The Ultimate Mid-life Movie
Added 9/1/2009

I have watched this movie at least 20 times 18 years ago when my children were young. Now I am 53 years old. I recently, caught a short piece of the movie on cable one day at lunch. I realized this was only partially a children's movie. This continuation of the venerable Peter Pan story is all about the male mid-life experience (45-60 years old or so). When I watched it with this concept in mind, I found myself in tears within the first 15 minutes of the movie. It is such a profound mythic description of modern day man in mid-life. My children are now grown. Yet, I find myself just like Peter, drawn to return to the days of childhood to find what has been lost there and needing to pick up certain things for the next portion of life. All the characters of the self can be found in this story from the shadow to the male anima. Perhaps we all have to learn again how to fight, fly and crow. The challenges of mid-life are so wonderfully presented you could teach a course from this one movie alone. Yes, it is a great kid's movie, and 18 years ago my son had a Hook birthday party in which he begged me to put up a zip line for him to slide out of a window in our house. It has all the elements a young boy loves. But, there are all the elements that a 50 something man needs to hear again and work through. It's a classic for our time and perhaps for the ages.
