Hook/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

In most performances of Peter Pan, the actor who plays the children's father also plays Captain Hook. In this story, the children's father is Peter Pan.
When grown-up Peter first meets Hook, he tries to show them his passport as proof of his identity. Smee grabs it away and tosses it aside. So how does he get back home? When he gets back to England, he is home.
Tinker Bell speaks English instead of her traditional ringing bell "fairy language". I always figured that the writers were ignoring the fairy language for the sake of the audience understanding her dialogue. Then it occurred to me that the only characters she talks to are Peter, Captain Hook, and the Lost Boys, all of whom could understand fairy speak in the original story. So Tinker Bell really is speaking Fairy and Translation Convention is at work. Which adds another layer to adult Peter's first meeting with Tink - for all he's "grown up" he can still understand fairies, probably without realizing he was doing it.

A small one in Hook: On her way to Neverland, Tinkerbell sprinkles a kissing couple with fairy dust, causing them to float — above a bridge. The question is: Will they float just as gently back down?
