Mr. Hook

Directed by James Culhane and the only Hook cartoon by Walter Lantz Productions, Take Heed Mr. Tojo takes place in 1953, and we see Mr. Hook talking to his son about his time in the Navy, and how war bonds saved him from Japanese airplanes. Hook was voiced by Dick Nelson, and it was the only time he voiced him for the series.[1]

The first short produced by Warner Bros. and directed by Robert McKimson. Hook tells his fellow sailors his plans for the money he will get when he redeems his bonds after the war, such as new clothes, a home and a wedding. From this point forward, Mr. Hook is voice by Arthur Lake.

Directed by Bob Clampett, the short parodies the Tokyo Rose radio broadcasts in Japan, and it shows Mr. Hook shooting a naval gun round to Japan after Tokyo Rose criticized the usefulness of war bonds. The anthropomorphic war bond from the projectile later returns to Mr. Hook after the war to pay him for his bonds.

Directed by Chuck Jones, Mr. Hook is woken up while a little angel and devil of himself argue whether he should spend or save his war bonds before he returns home. The angel soon wins the argument and tells Hook to save his bonds until he climbs back into civvies.
