We all have our personal favorite movie and cartoon versions of Peter Pan's sworn nemesis…Captain James Hook. For me, personally, my favorite version of Captain Hook has always been the version played by Dustin Hoffman in the 1991 Steven Spielberg film, Hook. And for my Peter Pan fanmake, my Captain Hook will be very much like that…eager to get revenge on my Peter and start a war, yet feels like he's doomed never to defeat his nemesis, has tendencies to try and do away with himself and with my Smee's help…will plan to use my Wendy against my Peter…and will do other things that you'll see when I plan to write it.
Themes of TM-C and TLK- Good vs Evil
Just like with my Black Cauldron fanmake, I aim to explore and show my point of view about some of the themes that will be relevant in my crossover between The Jungle Book and The Lion King, appropriately titled The Man-Cub and the Lion King. Yet I suppose some of you are wondering what themes I plan to explore? Well an obvious start for me would be Good vs Evil, and yes it's a bit much...but it's a good start anyway. Good vs Evil-- A theme that's commonly used in many different stories, but it does bring up a serious question to bear. The Law of the Jungle/Circle of Life is about respecting all different creatures, no matter what species they are or where they come from....that right makes might. Mowgli however faces both an internal and external battle between the darker side of his human nature and his upbringing as a creature of the Jungle who abides by the Jungle Law. And Simba, being young and innocent, also struggles with knowing who's good or who's bad. Whereas with Shere
Buldeo in my Jungle Book/Lion King crossover
Compared to the huge cast of animals in my story of The Man-Cub and the Lion King, the human cast is...relatively...tiny, but not insignificant. Of course we have our main focus being Mowgli, with Simba sharing the role...to a degree. We also have Shanti, Mowgli's first human friend and eventual love interest in this story...an odd girl who feels left out due to being considered 'different'. And there's also the good-natured, jovial and very British Doctor Julius Plumford...not only a military surgeon, but a brilliant and avid zoologist. But of course, Mowgli does come face to face with a person who represents some of the worst sides of humanity; Buldeo the hunter. Originally a character from the books written by Rudyard Kipling, Buldeo was the only human in the village who distrusted and disliked Mowgli. Highly superstitious, greedy and also had a habit of telling stories about the jungle that were completely untrue, which Mowgli called him out for. If you've read Kipling's
Oh...as a nod to Jungle Cruise
Oh forgot to mention as a nod to Jungle Cruise, even though I still have not seen the film...I plan to flesh out a character that could have made it into the original animated Jungle Book film, Rocky the rhinoceros. Though instead of making him an Indian rhinoceros, I'm unsure whether to have him as an African white rhinoceros or a black rhinoceros. But I will tell you one thing, not only is this rhino gonna be a big male weighing in at two-and-a-half tons of muscle and aggression, his voice actor's literally gonna...ahem...Rock! Take a good guess at who I'm referring to.
One thing I will say though
There is one thing I will say though about my upcoming crossover of the Jungle Book and the Lion King, it will definitely be a coming-of-age story for both Mowgli and Simba...as they realize their destinies. Mowgli, having been ashamed of his humanity his whole life alias being different, comes to accept that he is both a human and a creature of the jungle...and also to accept that while some humans CAN'T be trusted...thanks to the superstitious and trigger happy Buldeo whenever he makes it into the story (voiced either by Ron Perlman or Clancy Brown)...not all humans are bad either...thanks in part to Shanti (voiced by Sarah-Nicole Robles/Luz from Owl House)...who also feels like an outsider...and Dr Julius Plumford (voiced and reprised by John Cleese)...a comical and good-natured British physician/surgeon in the Royal Army. And Simba, obviously, overcomes the guilt he felt about his father's death and realizes that Scar is not the 'caring uncle' he originally thought as a

Cool I like him along with Once Upon A Time's Captain Hook, the Disney's version and the one that was played by Jason Issacs
