Which actor voiced Captain Hook in Disney’s 1953 animated Peter Pan?

Hans Conried voiced Captain Hook in Disney’s 1953 animated Peter Pan.

Conried supplied the speaking voice for Captain Hook and also provided the live-action reference performance used by Disney animators. His theatrical delivery helped define Hook as both threatening and comic, a balance central to the film’s interpretation of the pirate captain.

Bobby Driscoll voiced Peter Pan, while Kathryn Beaumont voiced Wendy Darling. Bill Thompson voiced several roles, including Mr. Smee, Hook’s first mate, which is a common source of confusion when recalling the cast.

Conried’s Hook is one of the best-known performances in the film. The character’s distinctive voice, elaborate gestures, and rivalry with Peter helped make Disney’s version a lasting animated classic.
