Because he's old. Although it's possible that he was bald and wearing a wig all along because age and baldness are not exclusive to each other!

A lot of Peter Pan adaptations include portraying him with pointed ears (Disney's 1953 Peter Pan most notably) and Hook is no different. The pointed ears are a trait he shares with Tinkerbell and is shown to emphasize Peter's magical nature in most adaptations. It's likely Peter regained them after "rediscovering" his true self and embracing who he used to be.

No. Mostly owing to the passings of Robin Williams, Bob Hoskins, and Maggie Smith.

Corporate lawyer Peter Banning (Robin Williams) doesn't know that he is really Peter Pan, now grown up and married to Moira Whitehall (Caroline Goodall), granddaughter of Wendy Darling Whitehall (Maggie Smith), now also grown up. When Peter and Moira's two children, Jack (Charlie Korsmo) and Maggie (Amber Scott), are kidnapped by the nefarious Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman), Tinkerbell (Julia Roberts) fetches Peter and helps him get back to Neverland to rescue his children.

Indirectly. Captain Hook is a character introduced in Peter Pan; or, the Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up (1904), a play by Scottish author Sir James M Barrie [1860-1937]. The play was subsequently novelized as Peter and Wendy (1911) and is now usually published under the title Peter Pan. Although Barrie's notes did suggest ideas for another play based on the idea that Peter did grow up, screenwriter James V. Hart admitted to getting the idea for Hook from a comment made by his son asking the same question, "What if Peter did grow up?". The movie was subsequently novelized in 1991 by American author Terry Brooks.

It is explained in the movie that, when Peter was 12 or 13 years old, Wendy arranged for his adoption by Hank and Jane Banning, who lived in America. Presumably, Peter then got the schooling to become a successful corporate lawyer. Wendy was instrumental in finding homes for many of the lost boys and today runs an orphanage in London in which she continues her work.

The identity of the "mean scary window washer" is never revealed. Many viewers conclude that it was Captain Hook, since later in the movie, Hook knows that Peter did not attend Jack's baseball game and gives Jack back what looks like his baseball. Others point out that Hook doesn't think Peter Banning is Peter Pan, so the window washer might have been a spy for Hook, maybe Smee (Bob Hoskins) or some other pirate. The night that Jack and Maggie are abducted, however, Tootles (Arthur Malet) and Granny Wendy both seem to sense Hook's presence. The most likely scenario is that the window washer was a spy, Smee or some unnamed pirate, who relayed back to Hook that Peter's children were in the bedroom, and Hook appeared in person to kidnap them.

Tootles was one of the lost boys in Barrie's original story. Tootles returns to London with Wendy and is the first orphan for whom she finds a home. In Hook, he claims to have lost his marbles (his happy thoughts).

The Banning family lives in America. Apparently, Hook or his spy was looking for Peter at the Darling house in London. When Peter and his family show up to attend the dedication of a new wing in Granny Wendy's orphanage, Hook's plans for his long-awaited revenge are set in motion.

Travel between Neverland and London seems to have that effect. The longer you stay in one place, the less you remember about the other. For example, Jack forgets about Peter and "adopts" Hook as his father and Neverland as his home after being there for just three days. Interestingly, this same phenomenon does not seem to affect girls. In Barrie's original story, Wendy asks Peter why there are no "lost girls", and Peter explains that girls are too smart to fall out of their prams and become "lost". This would explain why Wendy never forgot Neverland and why Maggie didn't lose sight of her parents while she was held captive in Neverland.

Tootles was the first to leave Neverland with Wendy. Peter didn't choose to leave Neverland until many years later, when he fell in love with Wendy's granddaughter Moira. In the interim, Tootles grew older in the real world but Peter didn't grow older in Neverland. Consequently, when they meet again in Hook, Tootles is much older than Peter. Similarly, Wendy is significantly older (Peter even addresses her as grandma in one scene), although they were once around the same age when they first met and had their adventures in Neverland.

In Barrie's story, Hook lost his right hand when Peter cut it off and a crocodile swallowed it. The croc also swallowed a clock so Hook is alerted by the ticking whenever the croc gets near.

There is no way that the movie was a dream. While the movie does tease us with the idea that it may have been a dream by having Peter asleep outside when he returns from Neverland and by having Bob Hoskins play the street sweeper it is very clear that it was real based on what follows. First of all Moira and Wendy are both clearly crying with joy at the return of Jack and Maggie meaning they both really were missing, Jack and Maggie have knowledge of the trip to Neverland and finally characters other than Peter are able to witness Tootles sprinkling himself with pixie dust and flying out the window. In summary the entire movie was 100% real.

Yes. Peter Pan, as well as Peter and Wendy, are in the public domain and may be downloaded for free from Project Gutenberg.

Because Wendy called Peter the same thing when he first arrived at her house. It was Hook's way of telling Peter that he had been watching him from the minute that he arrived in England and had the upper hand on him.
