andhis shadow. In 1985,composer John Williams and lyricist Leslie Bricusse worked on "Hook", being a stage musical,but the project was scrapped after about ten songs were written. Only one songfrom the play, "When You're Alone," made it to the film. However,many of the play' themes can be heard in Williams' incidental music for thefilm. Bob Hoskins bought beer for 300+ extras after a lengthy andcomplicated scene was cut. There werefrequent good-natured "battle of wits" exchanges between Williams andHoffman. In one incident, Hoffman was not happy with his performance and askedfor the scene to be re-shot. Williams quipped "Try acting": areference to the Hoffman / Laurence Olivier exchange onthe set of Maratona da Morte. BecauseTinkerbell was often in the air, Julia Roberts had an assistant whose sole responsibility wascleaning her feet.

The names ofthe original lost boys appear on the door to Wendy's house. One of the pirates who attempts to steal Peter's shoeswhen he first arrives in Neverland is played by singer Jimmy Buffett. StevenSpielberg admitted to being disappointed with final result ofthe movie. He had such a hard time working with the rebellious crew of youngactors that he later said, only somewhat kiddingly, that the experience madehim wonder if he wanted to have any more kids. He also felt guilty that hewasn't able to find an economical method to filming the many complexhuman-flight sequences in the film. Both Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams's stunt doubles were named Keith. When Steven Spielberg called for Keith to come to the set, both Keith'sshowed up. Eventually, Hoffman's stunt double changed his name from Keith toKeifo. RobinWilliams's upper body and arms were shaved for his role in thefilm. The original "Peter Pan" included only six Lost Boys(Slightly, Tootles, Nibs, Curly, and the unnamed Twins).The unnamed twinsappear in the imaginary food scene.
