call where Tinker Bell deflects an attack with the hook, the crocodile clock tower seemingly comes to "life" and "eats" Hook when it falls on top of him. Hook's missing hand is his left and his stump takes other attachments, including a baseball mitt and a pointer. He dresses very elegantly in a gold-trimmed red coat, matching hat, and a wig that hides his balding head.
