It's a shame that barely anyone saw Winnie the Pooh 2011 which was a really charming film and now everyones going to see this Hook clone. And Hook still doesn't get much respect.

You guys know he's already IN Beauty and the Beast, right?
And that he actually did a voice for The Force Awakens.
Getting a paycheck from the Walt Disney Corporation is not a new thing for Mr. McGregor.

The movie oozes with charm. Williams, Hoffman and Hoskins are ridiculous and delightful.
As for 90s kids loving it - McDonalds ran some promos in the 90s where they gave out / sold VHS tapes. Low income families who frequented fast food joints would procure these tapes, not buying many other VHSs, which led to a phenomenon where certain movies were played in certain households over and over. Hook was part of such promotion (as was also Waynes World, while Burger King did the same but with the Ninja Turtles cartoon). I know people in their early 20s to mid 30s who were exposed to this and as result love all three franchises. It's amazing that this can't really happen again due to the internet / content streaming.

This has... potential, but it could easily be squandered and fall into a lot of traps.
To be honest I'm kinda holding out for a live action/2D mesh of some sort. Make it an easy visual metaphor for Robin's imagination where the film slides between looks depending on his mental state.

Still waiting for the day I read the title 'Lucasfilm announces Obi-Wan Kenobi solo film'.
Though Ewan is gonna look like this when the day finally comes

Hook is one of my favorite Spielberg movies. I'll never understand how people can hate on it. With that said, I'll remain skeptical on this until I get more info. Getting the Hidden Figures scriptwriter is a great start though.

Well Disney is certainly pushing the live-action remakes as far as they can. Good to see McGregor in a leading role again though.
As for the Hook elements, I say bring it on! Hook is a very good film, although something tells me this is gonna be a bit more dramatic instead of being an adventure film.

The movie oozes alright.
This is the first time I've heard this narrative. I had to wear pro wings and K-Mart brand Chuck knockoffs until I was 14 that doesn't mean I think those were awesome shoes. Because they weren't.
Hook is a bad movie.

What if it's basically Ted-esque animatronic/cgi stuffed animals.
edit: This dude
I'm fairly certain it will be this, but with the designs shifted towards the look of the classic cartoons.
If it's anything like Beauty and the Beast we might be getting some Bloodborne designs.
Hating Hook makes you evolved.

I was trying to figure out why the hell Marc Forster would be attached to this, but then saw he did Finding Neverland. The kind of daydream, whimsical feel of that film (or some parts of that film anyway) seems like the kind of direction this movie should go for.

Bobbert Used Opinion Nobody Asked For!
It's super effective!

Nah....this premise could potentially make for a decent flick in this case with Winnie the Pooh, but I'd hate to see that for C&H. I don't think we should even see Calvin in that form because part of that internal conflict really messes with the whole world that the entire series built and convinced it's audience of.
EDIT: Ok you got me, that was a really funny joke

I know, right?
This does make me hopeful for this project. Ewan was also great in Big Fish.

If this is going to be a full Hook ripoff, then there should definitely be a baseball game in there somewhere.
Right. But him being the live action face to a Disney movie rather than a voice for an animated side-character stands out a bit more.
