In the early 1940's, Disney planned to make a much darker version Peter Pan after Snow White and Pinocchio. But the onslaught of World War II canceled production of the film until 1953. At that point, the original designs of all the characters ended up in the wasteland with the release of the 1953 version, including Captain Hook. Although the pirate crew looked exactly like their real selves, only Smee's colors and Hooks ruthlessness betrayed their true origin. As for Hook, he entered the Wasteland as a minor ally to the Friends, despite his exact appearance to his 1953 self, but converted full time to their side when the Mad Doctor converted him into a Beetleworx. He eventually reformed and became a partner to Pete Pan after his defeat at the hands of Mickey.
