"The Return of Mr. Hook" is a delightful Warner Bros. wartime cartoon starring the lovable, bumbling sailor Mr. Hook. A quartet of big burly sailors makes a mockery of Hook, demanding to know his postwar plans. Confidently, Hook offers his answer.
My favorite scenes? I love the facial expression on Hook's girlfriend Choo Choo (!) after he throws a stone to the train station. I also enjoy the singing of "Any Bonds Today?", in the beginning by Hook, and in the end by the four mocking sailors, who do a damn fine job of harmonizing!
Speaking of music, "The Return of Mr. Hook" is alive with the sound of it! "My Blue Heaven" can be heard as kids run around the Hooks' home (just Molly and me / and her mother makes three.....). "Happy Days are Here Again" is played as the war ends and the submarines cross the Pacific Ocean back to the U.S.A. And "When My Dreamboat Comes Home" is heard as Hook pays his first postwar visit to Choo Choo.
