Captain Hook: [waves his hook in front of Smee] Did Pan show good form when he did this to me?
Mr. Smee: Why, Captain, cutting your hand off was only a childish prank, you might say.
Captain Hook: Aye! But throwing it to the crocodile! That cursed beast liked the taste of me so well he`s followed me ever since, licking his chops for the rest of me.
Peter Pan: What a pity, Mr Smee. I`m afraid we`ve lost the dear Captain.

Captain Hook: Good, then let`s have at it!
first lines]
Narrator: All this has happened before, and it will all happen again. But this time it happened in London. It happened on a quiet street in Bloomsbury. That corner house over there is the home of the Darling family. And Peter Pan chose this particular house because there were people here who believed in him.

[screams]

Mr. Smee: Aye, aye, Sir.

Wendy: Peter Pan, Father.
Mr. Darling: Pan... Pirate... Poppycock!
Wendy: Oh, no, Father!
John: Oh my gosh!
Wendy: How can you...?
Mr. Darling: Absolute poppycock!
Wendy: You can`t stick it on with soap, Peter. It needs sewing. That`s the proper way to do it. Although, come to think of it, I`ve never thought about it before... um... sewing shadows, I mean.

Wendy: Squaw no get `em firewood! Squaw go home!

[he hiccups]
Mr. Smee: I`ll tell the crew and...
[he hiccups again and tries to leave, but Hook trips him up and he falls down]
Captain Hook: [to Tinker Bell] And that`s why I asked you over, me dear, to tell Peter I bear him no ill will. Oh, Pan has his faults, to be sure. Bringing that Wendy to the island, for instance. Dangerous business, that. Why, rumor has it that already she has come between you and Peter.
[he notices that Tinker Bell is on the verge of tears]
Captain Hook: But what`s this? Tears? Then it *is* true.
[to Smee]

Mr. Smee: [crying] Ain`t it a bloomin`...
[he hiccups]
Mr. Smee: ... shame?
Captain Hook: [handing a handkerchief to Tinker Bell] But we musn`t judge Peter too harshly, my dear. It`s that Wendy who`s to blame.

Captain Hook: We`ve so little time; we sail in the morning. Sail? That`s it, Smee!
[he slaps Smee on the back and Smee falls down again]

Mr. Smee: But Captain, we don`t know where Peter Pan lives.
Captain Hook: Great Scott, you`re right, Smee!
[Tinker Bell flies over to them and then flies over to a map of Never Land]
Captain Hook: What`s that, my dear? You could show us the way? Why, I never thought of that.

Mr. Smee: "Take this down, Smee." Aye-aye, Captain.
[Smee takes out a quill pen and a piece of paper while Tinker Bell dips her shoes in an inkwell and then lands on a part of the Never Land map marked Pegleg Point]

Mr. Smee: [writing] "Blindman`s Bluff... ”
[Tinker Bell hops across a part of the map with a creek on it and then walks toward the northeastern end of the map]

[loses patience]
Captain Hook: Well, get on with...
[calms down]
Captain Hook: Continue, my dear.

Captain Hook: Thank you, me dear, you`ve been most helpful.
Mrs. Darling: Now, George...
Mr. Darling: "Now, George". "Now, George"! Well, "now, George" will have his say!
[Mr. Darling is putting out Nana for the night and he leashes her with a rope to her doghouse. She looks at him sadly]
Mr. Darling: Dash it all, Nana, don`t look at me like that. It`s nothing personal, it`s just that... well, you`re not really a nurse at all, you`re... well, a dog. And the children aren`t puppies, they`re people. And sooner or later, Nana, people have to grow up.
Mr. Smee: [referring to Neverland] This ain`t no place for a respectable pirate.
Mr. Smee: [outside the door where Captain Hook is sitting with a cold]
[holding a hammer]
Mr. Smee: Shhhh! The Captain has a splitting headache. We mustn`t annoy him.
[looking away as Captain Hook comes out, about to attack Mr. Smee when Mr. Smee accidentally hits Captain Hook in the forehead with the hammer. Mr. Smee vibrates as Captain Hook staggers back into the room and collapses back onto the chair. Dazed. Smee walks in with a kettle of hot water. Takes a look at Captain Hook]
Mr. Smee: Well, Captain. It`s nice to see you smiling again. Brings back the good old days when we was leading a healty, normal life. Scuttling ships, cutting throats.
[Puts a thermometer in Captain Hook`s mouth]
Mr. Smee: Oh Captain, why don`t we go to sea again?
[starts pouring the hot water into the bucket where Captain Hook`s feet are]
Mr. Smee: You know, there`s trouble brewing on the island. Women trouble. I wouldn`t want this to go any farther, but...
[not realizing the bucket is filling with hot water]
Mr. Smee: the cook told me, that first mate told him...
[the thermometer in Captain Hook`s mouth starts to rise as Captain Hook`s face turns red]
Mr. Smee: that he heard... that Pan has banished Tinkerbell.
[the thermometer pops at the end]
Captain Hook: WOOOOOAH!
[Jumps up off the chair out of the bucket of hot water with his feet red hot and bumps his head against the ceiling as Smee falls over]
Captain Hook: Why you doddering imbecile, I...
[pulls the kettle off of his head]
Captain Hook: did you say Pan has banished Tinkerbell?
Trivia
22 year-old Margaret Kerry (who measured 35-25-36) was the real-life model for Tinker Bell.
Although original author J.M. Barrie is credited, this is the only major film version of "Peter Pan" which uses little of his original dialogue. (Even the live-action musical versions, as well as the 1924 silent film version, use much of Barrie`s original dialogue.)
Kathryn Beaumont, who provided the voice for Wendy, also performed the live action references. In an interview, she said she had to hold out her arms and pretend to fly for all the scenes requiring it.
In compliance with the tradition of the stage version, the same actor, Hans Conried, performed the roles of both Mr. Darling and Captain Hook.
The melody for "The Second Star to The Right" was originally written for Alice in Wonderland (1951) for a song that was to be called "Beyond the Laughing Sky".
Bobby Driscoll (as a voice actor) was the first male to play the title role on film.
Bobby Driscoll`s sixth Disney Movie.
The phrase "second to the right and straight on till morning" was changed into "second star to the right..." for the Disney version. Also, since this movie came out, non-Disney versions have used the term "Never Never Land" as opposed to "Neverland."
In the original play, Hook loses his right hand, but the Disney artists felt that would limit his actions too much, and switched the hook to the left hand.
Though the film was extremely successful, Walt Disney himself was dissatisfied with the finished product. He felt that the character of Peter Pan was cold and unlikable.
#
# This film marked two "lasts" for Disney: - 1) This was the final Disney film in which all nine members of the Nine Old Men worked together on it as directing animators. - 2) It was the last full-length Disney animated film distributed by RKO. All of Disney`s films after early 1954 would be distributed by Buena Vista, as well as all of the post-1954 re-releases of his earlier films.
Henry Brandon was the live action reference model for Captain Hook.
When Walt Disney was a child, he played Peter Pan in a school function.
(Goofy Holler): Heard during Captain Hook`s fight with the crocodile inside the cave at Skull Rock, when Smee accidentally hits Hook on the head with his rowboat oar. The "Goofy holler" is partially obscured by gargling noises as Hook goes underwater after taking the hit.
The opening line of this film, "All (of) this has happened before, and it will all happen again," is quoted frequently in the song "Seek 200" by Information Society, though it is not a direct sample. (Information Society adds the preposition "of.")
