15. Hook Reinvented Fairy Tales
Loosely based on James Barrie’s Peter Pan, Hook told the story of middle-aged Peter Banning who returns to Neverland to save his children. He realizes that he is a grown-up version of Peter Pan and recovers his own imagination, which he uses to defeat Captain Hook, who is holding his children hostage. The $70-million-film grossed $300 million and remains popular with both children and adults.
