Captain Hook is the main villain of Disney’s animated feature film Peter Pan. He is a refined yet ruthless pirate who captains the Jolly Roger, anchored along the shores of Neverland. Hook gave up roaming the open seas long ago, consumed instead by his quest for revenge against Peter Pan. He is the character who severed his left hand and fed it to a crocodile that now relentlessly stalks him. Though a formidable rival, Hook often finds himself outmatched not only by Pan’s ability to fly but also by the constant blunders of his clumsy first mate, Mr. Smee.
