Peter Pan and Captain Hook battle each other mano a mano for the film's final showdown. Eventually Peter Pan manages to disarm Captain Hook of his sword at the feet of the giant crocodile that Hook has turned into a clock.

Captain Hook accepts defeat and tells Peter Pan to strike him with his sword. But Peter Pan's kids stop him before he can make a killing blow. His daughter tells him that Captain Hook is just a mean old man without a mummy. To which Captain Hook replies, "After all, what would the world be like without Captain Hook?" Peter Pan accepts the pleas of the kids and tells Captain Hook to leave Neverland, and never return.


Peter Pan turn to leave with the kids, when suddenly Captain Hook pulls out a hidden sword and proclaims, "Fools! James Hook is Neverland!" He charges at Peter Pan and manages to pin Pan against the Crocodile clock (no, that is not an Elton John song!) with his sword to Peter's throat. He raises his hook to finish Peter Pan off once and for all, but before Hook can strike, Tinkerbell flies down and stops Hook with a small knife.

This only acts as a small diversion, but it gives Peter Pan the time to grab Captain Hook's hook and stab it into the stomach area of the Crocodile clock.  Gas starts to come out of the hole that Hook's hook made in the crocodile's stomach, as Captain Hook tries to free his hand, when it starts to make noises and  the scaffolding holding it up starts to fall away.

Hook finally manages to get his hand free, falling backwards over the clock face that has fallen from the crocodile's mouth. The crocodile, seeming to still be alive, looks down at Captain Hook, as he looks up at it in confusion.

Suddenly, the crocodile falls forward with its mouth open. Hook stands up and just has time to deliver his final words -"I want my mummy!"- before the crocodile's mouth comes slamming down on top of Hook, sending dust everywhere. When the dust finally settles, Captain Hook is gone and the crocodile gives a final satisfied belch.

Actually, it wasn't an actual animal.

Yeah, it's kind of a toss-up between "Devoured" and "Crushed by falling object"
