Rufio and the Lost Boys of Hook reunite 25 years later

Ru-fi-oooooooo! The Lost Boys are back in action to celebrate Hook's 25th anniversary. Ten of the young actors from the beloved 1991 film spoke to Entertainment Tonight about what it was like to be part of a Steven Spielberg classic and work with the late Robin Williams.

"I had no idea the gravity of what was going on," Thomas Tulak (who played Too Small) said. "I was just playing around."

The boys ranged in age from six to 17 at the time of filming, and they turned the Sony Pictures studio lot into their own private playground, naming their row of trailers "Lost Boy Lane".

"The Lost Boys is kind of like one of the fraternities that's really special," Dante Basco (Rufio) said. "This kind of reunion is very special to me."

But what happened when the Hook cameras were rolling was just as special.

"The sets were amazing," Ryan Francis (Young Peter Pan) said. "Everything was practical. This was before CGI so that [pirate] ship was literally floating in the sound stage."

Many of the Boys are now dads, and they're keen to pass along the magic of Hook to the next generation.

"When the baby cries… the first thing that comes to mind, I literally hum the Hook theme," James Madio (Don't Ask) said. "I just hum it to my kid. I don't know why!"

Good form, boys. Good form.
