Trivia[]
- In Return to Never Land, Mama Hook was seen with a hook on each arm and a mustache like her son, but in Jake and the Never Land Pirates she has hands instead of hooks for hands and no mustache at all, implying that Hook may have dressed up like his mother to manipulate Jane in the former. However, in the episode "Little Red Riding Hook!", Captain Hook makes a reference to his mother's Return to Never Land design.
- She loves her son dearly and admits that he's still her "bouncing baby buccaneer!"
- In the Descendants franchise, she has three grandchildren: Harriet, Harry, and Calista Jane "CJ" Hook.
- The reason why she dislikes her son stealing treasure is because she believes it's not a good idea. Because in real life, he'll get in serious trouble for doing that.
