"Fun fact: Dustin Hoffman and Bob Hoskins decided secretly that they’d play Hook and Smee as a gay couple. When Spielberg, the director, found out, he was furious."
It is the subtext of the play, it was the subtext of the cartoon, it is the subtext of every panto performance. There is an entire tradition concerning these two roles in British children's theater. They are a pair of queers.
Now I suppose you want to tell me that "The Wind in the Willows" isn't a metaphor for the Oscar Wilde trials.
