2. Hook (1991)
We all know the original story of Peter Pan, the boy from Never Land, who refused to grow up. ‘Hook’ is a twist to the tale, as it narrates the story of a grown up Peter Pan with a job and family, and a permanent scowl. Peter has to remember his Never Land days to rescue his children from the grip of Captain Hook. The shiny-eyed Robin Williams plays the role of the grown up Peter Pan and breathes into the character life, freshness and enthusiasm of a child, making the adult Peter a very endearing character for the children. It is also a go-round before bidding farewell to childhood. Williams’ performance establishes that it’s never too late to revisit the lost childhood days.
