With cheap and availability to editing equipment and cameras everyone and their mothers can make video's. Although the dawn of this phenomenon sparked skits a la America's Funniest Home Videos some more creative amateur film makers decided to re enact or re imagine their favourite cinematic moments. For those not acquainted with Stephen Spielberg's great 1991 classic Hook this scene is a ode to the editing and concept of one of the key scenes in the film when an older Peter Pan, played by the wonderful Robin Williams begins using his imagination again as part of his Pan re-orientation.
The comedy troupe Goodneighborstuff filmed this skit and are an internet based group that has some ties in theatre and used clever devices such as out of sequence shooting with a flowing script in order to fool the eye and add the magic to the scene, thus making the food miraculously appear. They also used the original music from the very same scene (scored and conducted by the magical John Williams) in order to hit the point home and let the audience identify with the scene that they may remember from their childhood as some sort of nostalgic 'a-ha' moment.
This nostalgia factor to comical renditions of pop culture films, music, or television connect to the viewer differently than other forms of comedy and entertainment because of their familiarity to a media filled audience, which are likely to respond to such an iconic film director, film, and score.
In our media and 3-screen age, the power of parody prevails
