Peters lively personality and energy shone through the animation. <br /><br />It would be interesting to see his take on Captain hook. Surely he'd be more menacing and less slap stick (though I LOVE Frank Thomas's take on Hook).Julian Brogdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01080789510782472456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-87880413388874911392013-02-04T06:26:16.088-08:002013-02-04T06:26:16.088-08:00I agree Milt would of done an amazing Captain Hook...I agree Milt would of done an amazing Captain Hook.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308544590863479958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-70979919587680407232013-02-03T15:59:24.775-08:002013-02-03T15:59:24.775-08:00Thank you Andreas and thanks Mr. Norman for clarif...Thank you Andreas and thanks Mr. Norman for clarifying that. Don't want to seem like I was stirring the gossip pot, but from reading John Canemaker's Nine Old Men and things I've heard about how Milt was mentioned (or not) in Frank and Ollie's books, it was giving me sort of that impression. <br /><br />To be sure, in production, and with extremely talented professionals such as Milt and the gang, there would have be "bumps" along the way---Ki Innishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03599502687774991361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2565467389318493488.post-55376440361039552862013-02-03T11:22:33.281-08:002013-02-03T11:22:33.281-08:00Milt was fed up with Disney.

I've heard many animators close their doors so they can't be seen acting it out. Imagine footage of Milt doing Medusa! Or for that matter Andreas acting out Gaston. Or Jafar! How about it, Andreas?

In truth, those guys had egos and got involved in politics just like it happens in most big studios (and small ones) today. This interview was done, what, a quarter of a century after Peter Pan was finished and Milt is still pissed off about his assignment.
