The cast of the 1991 film have reunited to mark its 25th anniversary.
Peter Pan’s Lost Boys from the 1991 movie Hook have staged an epic reunion to mark the film’s 25th anniversary. But the very special reunion, staged by Entertainment Tonight, also had a tinge of sadness, as it occurred on the two-year-anniversary of the death of Hook star Robin Williams.
Williams played the adult Peter Pan in the film, opposite Dustin Hoffman as his famous adversary. It saw J.M. Barrie’s creation return to Neverland and reunite with the still young Lost Boys decades later. The actors who played the Lost Boys ranged in age from six to 17 years old and for many of them it was their first acting role.
“We haven't seen each other in quite some time but I almost feel like there was no lost time,” said James Madio who played Lost Boy 'Don’t Ask'. “We just picked it up right away where we were and just reminiscing about everything. It's just really cool.”

Thomas Tulak, who played the youngest Lost Boy 'Too Small', said he had no idea what a big deal the film would be at the time. “I had no idea the gravity of what was going on,” he said. “I was just playing around, you know.”
Speaking about the loss of co-star Robin Williams, Dante Basco, who played the gang’s leader Rufio, said: “I think for all of us [Robin’s death] was the death of our childhood. There’s sadness there, also there's a lot of space to kinda celebrate one of the most legendary artists of our time.
“[Robin] really taught me at a young age what it means to be a star, what it means to be a leader on a set,” he continued. “Everything you want Robin Williams to be he delivered in spades.”

The cast reunion was two years in the making and masterminded by Brian Pocrass, the CEO of production company 22 Vision, who were also behind the recent cast reunions for The Little Rascals and School of Rock.
“Hook is just one of those movies that people really grew up on,” Pocrass said. “To get them together to remember Robin [Williams] and celebrate this milestone is something that I loved being a part of.”
