Hook
Original production animation drawing pencil on untrimmed animation sheet, image size: 7" x 6.5".
This dynamic rough animation drawing of Captain Hook menacingly wielding sword and hook was created by Disney animator Wolfgang Reitherman in development of a scene in the animated feature based on the story by J. M. Barrie. Peter Pan and Captain Hook battle aboard the pirate ship in their final confrontation, when the former comes to rescue the Darling children and Lost Boys.
The drawing is from the scene immediately following the first shot of Tinker Bell tugging on Turk's mustache to prevent him from reaching Michael, John and the Lost boys in the crow's nest. Peter was animated in the scene on a separate level by Don Lusk.
Mr. Reitherman, one of Walt Disney's master animators known as his Nine Old Men, supervised this scene, and this is one of his drawings. It is an animator’s extreme drawing with grid drawn at right. A number of animators handled the scenes of Peter Pan's duel with Captain Hook aboard the pirate ship, including Eric Larson, Ward Kimball, Eric Cleworth, Bob Carlson, and Clarke Mallery. The animator wrote the circled number "38" at lower right to indicate this original's place in the scene. Our certificate of authenticity is included.
