In the animated film ''[[Peter Pan (1953 film)|Peter Pan]]'' (1953), Captain Hook is a far more comical villain than the original character: he is seen as a vain and dastardly coward with a childish temper who is prone to crying out in terror. During the film's early development, the story department analysed Hook's character as "a fop... Yet very mean, to the point of being murderous. This combination of traits should cause plenty of amusement whenever he talks or acts".<ref name=villains>Thomas, Frank & Johnston, Ollie (1993) ''Disney Villain'' "Chapter 4: Nine Old Men," section: "Peter Pan", pp. 109–113. {{ISBN|978 1562827922}}</ref>

Actor [[Hans Conried]] set the tone and pathos for Disney's interpretation of Hook, as he was the original voice for the Captain, as well as, in the tradition of the stage play, Mr. Darling, and performed live-action reference for the two characters.<ref name="archives">{{Cite web |url=http://disney.go.com/vault/archives/villains/hook/hook.html |title=Captain Hook: Character History |website=Disney Archives |url-status=dead |access-date=1 August 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090808173416/http://disney.go.com/vault/archives/villains/hook/hook.html |archive-date=8 August 2009 |df=dmy-all }}</ref> In subsequent Disney animation, Hook is voiced by [[Corey Burton]].<ref name="btva">{{cite web |title=Captain Hook Voices (Peter Pan) |url=https://www.behindthevoiceactors.com/characters/Peter-Pan/Captain-Hook/ |access-date=May 5, 2025 |publisher=Behind The Voice Actors}} A green check mark indicates that a role has been confirmed using a screenshot (or collage of screenshots) of a title's list of voice actors and their respective characters found in its credits or other reliable sources of information.</ref>

Hook seeks revenge on Peter Pan for having fed the crocodile his left hand and refuses to leave [[Neverland]] prior to this revenge.<ref name="archives" /> Throughout the film, Hook is supported by [[Mr. Smee (Disney)|Mr. Smee]]. After promising [[Tinker Bell (Disney character)|Tinker Bell]] not to lay a finger (or a hook) on Peter Pan, he plants a bomb in Peter's hideout (instead of Barrie's vial of [[poison]]). At the conclusion of the film, Hook is chased by the crocodile into the distance, with the rest of the crew trying to save Hook. [[Walt Disney]] insisted on keeping Hook alive, as he said: "The audience will get to liking Hook, and they don't want to see him killed."<ref name="villains" />

====Other film appearances====
In the sequel ''[[Return to Never Land]]'' (2002), Hook mistakes Wendy's daughter Jane for Wendy and uses her as bait to lure Peter Pan to his death. After this fails, he promises to take Jane home if she will help him find the island's treasure, and "not to harm a single hair on Peter Pan's head". This last promise is kept when he pulls a single hair from Peter's head, declaring "the rest of him is mine". At the end of the film, he and the crew are pursued into the distance by a giant octopus.  

Captain Hook is one of the Disney Villains who have a main focus in the direct-to-video anthology film ''[[Once Upon a Halloween]]''.

Captain Hook's origins are explored in the [[Disney Fairies]] film ''[[The Pirate Fairy]]'', in which he is voiced by [[Tom Hiddleston]].<ref>{{cite web |last=Taylor |first=Amanda |date=August 9, 2013 |title='The Pirate Fairy': Christina Hendricks and Tom Hiddleston join newest Tinkerbell movie |url=https://ew.com/article/2013/08/09/christina-hendricks-tom-hiddleston-the-pirate-fairy/ |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150910020407/https://ew.com/article/2013/08/09/christina-hendricks-tom-hiddleston-the-pirate-fairy/ |archive-date=September 10, 2015 |website=[[Entertainment Weekly]]}}</ref><ref name="btva" /> In the story, a young James years before he lost his hand, pretended to be a pirate ship's cabin boy and befriended the rebellious fairy Zarina, who had left Pixie Hollow after being dismissed as a dust-keeper when her unauthorised experiments with pixie dust led to a disaster. James foresaw the great potential of the pixie dust and let Zarina think she had the authority over pirates.

* In the [[Kingdom Hearts (video game)|first game]], Hook takes [[Riku (Kingdom Hearts)|Riku]] with him where [[Kairi (Kingdom Hearts)|Kairi]] is being held. Hook does not like Riku's bossiness and regrets taking him along. Nonetheless, he follows his orders, as Riku has control over the [[Heartless (Kingdom Hearts)|Heartless]] and will likely unleash them on him should he disobey. When [[Sora (Kingdom Hearts)|Sora]], [[Donald Duck|Donald]], and [[Goofy]] arrive in Neverland, Riku throws them in the hold, where they meet and escape with [[Peter Pan (Disney character)|Peter Pan]]. He is searching for Wendy, who Hook kidnapped due to believing that she was a [[Princesses of Heart|Princess of Heart]]. Riku tells Hook that Wendy is not a Princess of Heart, irritating him. After defeating the Heartless, Sora fights a copy of himself summoned by Riku. After confronting Hook and learning that Riku took Kairi to Hollow Bastion, Sora and company are forced to surrender when Hook holds Tinker Bell hostage. When the crocodile appears, Hook flees while telling Smee to have their prisoners walk the plank. Peter returns to save Sora before imitating Smee to lure Hook to the deck, resulting in him being thrown overboard and chased away by the crocodile.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.khguides.com/kh/neverland/#captain-hook |title=Never Land Walthrough (KHIFM) – KHGuides|publisher=khguides.com|date=27 February 2019}}</ref>

=====''Epic Mickey''=====
An animatronic version of Captain Hook appears in ''[[Epic Mickey]]'', wherein he has been converting his crew into animatronic, cyborg version of themselves (referred to in the game as Beetleworx) and is waging an attack against the non-converted pirates. Smee requests that [[Mickey Mouse]] find a way to save Hook and stop this machine that is turning pirates into Beetleworx. Players can either fight Hook by themselves and earn a thinner upgrade (and a "bad ending") or free the [[Tinker Bell|Sprite]] and have Pete Pan (a version of [[Pete (Disney)|Pete]] dressed as Peter Pan) defeat him and earn a paint upgrade (and a "good ending" showing Pete Pan and Captain Hook in a duel). In ''[[Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two]]'', Hook has disappeared entirely, leaving his crew leaderless and having been run out of Tortooga by [[Blackbeard]] and Pete Pan having joined up with the Mad Doctor after losing his purpose. Some of Hook's clothes and items have been left behind in Ventureland, which the crew members seek to assert their authority to take over leadership of the other pirates and lead them to take back their home.

The Cartoon World's version of Hook appears in ''[[Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion]]'' as the first boss, having fallen under the control of Mizrabel to fight Mickey. Upon his defeat, he comes to his senses and offers his help to Mickey's quest to bring the toons back to the Cartoon World.

====Attractions and live events====
[[File:Capitaine Crochet.jpg|thumb|180px|left|Disney's version of Captain Hook as a meetable character in the Disney Parks.]]
Captain Hook appears at the [[Walt Disney Parks and Resorts]] as a [[meetable character]] along with [[Mr. Smee]] in [[Adventureland (Disney)|Adventureland]]. He also appears as a figure during the dark ride ''[[Peter Pan's Flight]]''.

In ''[[Fantasmic!]]'' at Disneyland, there is a scene in which we see Captain Hook and Peter Pan duelling aboard the [[pirate ship|Jolly Roger]] (portrayed by the [[Sailing Ship Columbia|Sailing Ship ''Columbia'']]). This is replaced by a short re-enactment of Disney's ''[[Pocahontas (1995 film)|Pocahontas]]'' at [[Disney's Hollywood Studios]].

At Disney World's ''Dream-Along with Mickey'' show, Hook, along with Smee, is one of the villains that crashes Mickey's party. This happens when Peter and Wendy appear to make [[Goofy]]'s dream for some adventure come true and play a game of "Pretend to Be Pirates" with [[Donald Duck]], who pretends to be the captain until the real Hook appears and challenges Peter to a duel. At first, Hook's appearance seems to take place for no reason other than to add some action to the show but is revealed to actually be working for Maleficent, who is insulted after not being invited to the party. He is defeated by [[Mickey Mouse]], who leads the audience in a chant of "Dreams come true!", and scares off the villains.

At the Disney Villains Mix and Mingle Halloween Dance Party at ''[[Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party]]'', Hook is summoned up by Maleficent along with the other villains, and co-hosts along with her, revealed by him being the only one of the villains besides her to sing and also being the villain that dances with her.

Captain Hook was also featured in the ''[[Disney on Ice]]'' 2013 show 'Let's Party' as part of the Halloween celebration section, which takes the format of a party hosted by [[Jack Skellington]] where all the 'main' Disney villains attend (the [[Evil Queen (Disney)|Evil Queen]] and [[Jafar (Aladdin)|Jafar]] being two other notable villains in the scene) and they plan to capture [[Mickey Mouse]] to plunge everyone into unhappiness.

====Printed media====
Occasionally, Hook appears in the [[Scrooge McDuck universe]] of [[comic book]]s as the nemesis of [[Duck family (Disney)#Moby Duck|Moby Duck]], a [[whaler]] cousin of [[Donald Duck]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://inducks.org/character.php?c=Hook|title=Captain Hook|website=I.N.D.U.C.K.S.}}</ref>

In the ''[[Kingdom Keepers]]'' series book ''Disney at Dawn'' (2008), Captain Hook was snooping around Ariel's Grotto, having been sent by the Overtakers in investigate the meaning in Jess playing songs over the park speakers.

In the ''[[Descendants (franchise)|Descendants]]'' franchise novels ''Isle of the Lost'' (2015) and its sequel ''Rise of the Isle of the Lost'' (2017), Captain Hook appears as one of the villains who live imprisoned on the titular island. He is also the father of Harriet (eldest daughter), Harry (middle son), and CJ (youngest daughter).

In the ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean]]'' novel ''[[Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom]]'' by [[A. C. Crispin]], Captain Hook is mentioned as "James" in conversation, confirmed by Crispin to be a Disney "in" joke.<ref name="KTTC">[https://web.archive.org/web/20160805102938/http://www.keeptothecode.com/bboard/viewtopic.php?p=698787 Keep To The Code forums]</ref><ref name="Goodreads">[https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/451750-a-c-crispin-here-i-d-be-happy-to-answer-questions-about-this-book#comment_29711327 Goodreads]</ref><ref name="The Price of Freedom 1">{{Cite book |last=Crispin |first=Ann C. |title=Pirates of the Caribbean: The Price of Freedom |date=17 May 2011 |publisher=Disney Editions |isbn=978-1-4231-0704-0}}</ref><ref name="The Price of Freedom 2">{{cite book|last=Crispin|first=A.
