Photo credit: Disney Wiki.In the movie, Peter takes the Darling children toNeverland, where they encounter a pirate ship anchored offshore. The ship'scommander, Captain Hook, plots revenge on Peter, after Peter cut off his handand fed it to the crocodile. For his part, the crocodile follows Hook everywherehe goes, hoping for another taste.One of the most cunning and infamous pirates on the seven seas, Captain Hook isPeter Pan's arch-nemesis. We know him best as captain of the Jolly Rodger, themost feared ship in Neverland. However, audiences have often long wondered why Hook hates Peter so much, and just what led him to be so cruel. Recent elaborations on the classic Peter Pan story help to shed some light onHook's evil tendencies. Disney's Jake and the Neverland Pirates televisionseries reveals that Hook's childhood was full of hardship.
