Captain Hook is the main antagonist of Disney's 1953 animated feature film Peter Pan. He is an elegant, yet dastardly pirate that commands the Jolyl Roger, a brig docked on the shores of Neverland. Hook has long since abandoned sailing the high seas in favor of having revenge on Peter Pan for cutting off his left hand and feeding it to a crocodile, who has since been in constant pursuit of the captain. While a worthy opponent for Peter, Hook is destined to fail—sometimes because of Pan's ability to fly, but more often through the bumbling incompetence of his first mate, Mr. Smee.

Hook's frustrations are understandable; he lost a hand to his opponent, is constantly pursued by the Crocodile, and is unable to fly (unless by pixie dust). These factors arguably make him one of the most sympathetic Disney villains. His antics with the Crocodile are considered by many to be the funniest animated scenes ever created by Disney, according to Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston in the book The Disney Villain.

As one of the most recognizable and popular villains in Disney's animated library, Captain Hook is also a primary member of the Disney Villains franchise.
