00:08During the production of Peter Pan, composers Sammy Fane and Sammy Khan
00:11they write a song entitled "Never Smile at a Crocodile".
00:15The idea is simple: to humorously remind everyone that the famous crocodile relentlessly pursues Captain Hook.
00:21and that it's best never to trust him.
00:23The song has been recorded, and the animators are even starting to think about how to integrate it into the film.
00:28But a huge problem arises.
00:30The directors believe that the crocodile works much better as a silent character.
00:36Her appearances are almost entirely based on suspense, the sound of her alarm clock
00:40and Captain Hook's panicked reactions.
00:43Adding a song would ruin the comedic effect.
00:46Disney therefore made the decision to remove the sequence completely.
00:49The song does not disappear completely.
00:51It was released on discs shortly after the film's release.
00:54and would be reused in several Disney albums over the years.
