Hook's Lost Boys remember Robin Williams at 25 year reunion
It has been 25 years since Robin Williams first flew across our silver screens in a green leotard, leaving a stream of magic and laughter in his wake.
If you're a child of the '90s, it's impossible to look back on your childhood and not remember Robin Williams, the real life Peter Pan who never grew up.
To mark the 25 year anniversary of the film and to honour Robin Williams' memory, the Lost Boys returned to Neverland for an epic reunion.
Most of the boys had never acted before the film, with ages ranging from 6-17 years old. At the reunion, the grown up lost boys got to dress up as their characters for a memorable photoshoot.
But of course, the reunion was bittersweet marred by the absence of a very significant individual: Robin Williams.
This week marks the second anniversary of Peter Pan/Williams' death. Reminiscing over Williams, ryan Francis (Young Peter Pan) said “That's what I think his power was: his reach and being able to make anybody-- even through a television screen or a movie screen-- make you feel so great,”.
The organiser of the reunion Dante Basco describe the loss of Williams as "the death of our childhood." Commenting on the reunion he said "there's sadness there," but there's also "space to kinda celebrate one of the most legendary artists of our time."
Here we look back at the legendary funny man's unforgettable charisma in Hook:
