Summary of Hook
A high-flying adventure from the magic of Steven Spielberg Hook stars Robin Williams as a grown-up Peter Pan and Dustin Hoffman as the infamous Captain Hook.Joining the fun is Julia Roberts as Tinkerbell Bob Hoskins as the pirate Smee and Maggie Smith as Granny Wendy Darling who must convince the middle-aged lawyer Peter Banning that he was once the legendary Peter Pan. And so the adventure begins anew with Peter off to Neverland to save his two children from Captain Hook. Along the way he rediscovers the power of imagination friendship and magic. A classic tale updated for children of all ages Hook nominated for five 1991 Academy Awards including Best Visual Effects is "a 10. A film that will entertain generations generations from now."

This film is presented in "Widescreen" format. Copyright: 2000 Columbia Tri Star Home Video.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:?CHILDREN/FAMILY Rating:?PG UPC:?043396039308 Manufacturer No:?03930Steven Spielberg's deeply flawed but sporadically fun and moving update of the Peter Pan legend stars Robin Williams as the grown-up Pan, a corporate-takeover type who must embrace his old identity in order to save his kids from Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman). The stars put on a good show, including Hoffman's read of Hook's hysterical personality, Julia Roberts mini-turn as a tiny Tinker Bell, and Maggie Smith's touching performance as the aged Wendy. The visual contrast between the adult Pan's bustling outside world and the insulated fantasy of Neverland is striking, but Spielberg's ideas about the Lost Boys--politically correct in their ethnic diversity, energetic on skateboards--are contrived and cheapening. On the plus side, the story's theme about adults finding their innocence again through their children is very touching (though some people have found it cloying). If you can look beyond the glaring problems, there's plenty to like here. --Tom Keogh
