Our take
Captain Hook: The Cursed Tides is a family fantasy adventure about Hook hiding in a coastal town after defeat by Admiral Smee. Expect pirate sword fights, sea monsters, spooky curses, and mild language. Many frightening beats target younger viewers sensitive to monsters. Tweens who enjoy pirate fantasy
