‘Hook’ Star Dante Basco On Best Moments As Rufio, Working With Robin Williams | TODAY Original
The voice is still so zuko omg
no zuko voice is more rufio
and jake long
Lxl yep
Imagine being Ruffio, Jake Long and Prince Zuko!!🤯
And Dalph!
His voice is so attractive
He's a great voice actor.
It’s sick
Thank God he played his part!
Prince Zuko
“If your belly button’s not out, you’re not doing it right. You better have that midriff out.” 🤣🤣🤣
@Guliana Tanner I'm guessing he was embarrassed having his belly button showing which is why he commented on it here.
*on
But we get it. 😏
I know this is weird, but, I named my Black Lab Rufio at 19 because of this character and had him for 14 years. He was my literal best friend and I never went anywhere without my dude. I used to do the Rufio chant and everything to get him riled up! Rufio is in my heart forever.
You'll never be the Pan, just a dude with Peter Pan envy 😜
Best Peter Pan movie adaptation EVER. Rufio was great!
Rufio dying was traumatic as a child 😭 had a big fat crush on him and then he just had to die 💔
Me too. *s n i f f*
Me too.
Same!!!😭😭😭
I cried for a while, he was my favourite.
A crush? How? This was his 1st movie, and he died at the end. How TF was it traumatizing? 😏
Had a huge crush on him when I was little lol.
Lol, me too. I had a crush on him in Perfect Weapon.
Me too
How? This was his 1st movie. He died 45 min into it.
@@BrynhurstSixOwe he was Ashley's boyfriend on Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
@@BrynhurstSixOwejust shut up id*ot
When Rufio got killed by Captain Hook, I was in shock and on the verge of tears at the sight of that scene, especially with his last words. Dante is such an amazing actor.
@Craig Juan I agree, it was very sweet that his last words were that he was wishing that Peter was his dad.
This movie came out when there was a divorce craze going on in USA. I just revisited this movie first time since I was a child and wow. The movie subject mixed with reliving my past through watching the movie made me realize this movie helped me kind of escape any thoughts of this world and transported me to a safe place. I’m sure many others like me share this emotion and had Robin Williams fill in as our dad while we watched his charisma on screen
Dante: How would I describe Rufio?
Me: A kid with the personality of jet and the voice of zuko
This movie still holds up till this day!!!
Loved this movie. Still do. Great children's flick. Solid performance from all the actors from the lost boys to the pirates. R.I.PARADISE Robin Williams.
He’s such a sweetheart in person too. I’m buying his book but with the Zuko cover of course.
We've all had a crush on him when we were a kid😂
The amount of Pan X Rufio fanfictions I write is almost unhealthy XD
@@dontreplytomycringycomment8276 now you spiked my interest 😂
@@destinationaddictionsamsar7894 yes, I am a weird child
5:00 K that would PERFECTLY fit on Zuko
Lmao XD
To iroh
I was ten years old when this movie came out and I can still the remember the feeling I felt when my mom bought me the VHS tape when it became available at Lucky’s. It was magic and brings out those great childhood memories. Thank you Rufio. I still believe 🙏🏽❤️
it feels like zuko is voicing him tho lol
Lmao
Yeah Who the heck thought of 3 mohawks on a head and then there is Zuko, a bald head with A Square part with hair and a ponytail🤣
That buzz cut tho really saved him tho Lee/Zuko is the cutest look 😍😍😍
FROM THE AGE OF 6-17 I IDOLIZED YOUR CHARACTER RUFIO. HE WAS MY IDOL. LOVE HOOK.
I'll always know him as Zuko!
Those of us lucky know him as Rufio, Jake Long American Dragon AND Prince Zuko
@@TheNuyorker indeed
Me too along with Jake long.
RUFIO! RU-FI-OOOOOO!
Stahp it.
@@theoptimistictabby2785, RUFIO!, RUFIO! RU-FI-OOOOOOOOOO. OOOOOH
@@TheAllnPttrsn STOOOOOOOOOP!!!!!!
The Optimistic Tabby, lookie lookie I got hookie
Rufio and that sword have always been my favorite part of the movie. Bangarang!
He is a very cool guy and one of the most down to earth people you will ever meet
Your honor is restored Zuko. You can rest now.
Still have crush on him🥺😭 isn't he now 40
he's an adult. he has a girlfriend.
@@anxiouspastel I know
About the same age as my hubby wow.
He is 45 years old......
He's so true about the scene of Rufio dying. I remember as a kid seeing this the first time in theaters. I closed my eyes at this scene and was scared of Hook from that point on. And everytime I watch the movie after, I'd always close my eyes or go to the bathroom during this scene. Until I was a little older and was able to see the whole scene without chickening. Yeah lol it was that traumatic for me.
My whole heart is full. RUFIOOOOOOOO ♥️♥️♥️😭
dante has a girlfriend. www.mancrushes.com/sites/default/files/dante-basco-zuko-8.jpg
I just realized he's in avatar the air bender omg
Omg i didnt know that till now. Thank you
Kendrick Flores how can’t you recognise that voice lol
Rufio is Zuko?!
Yep
He voiced prince zuko in the last airbender series
He also voiced Jake Long
No. Zuko is Rufio.
He shall now be known as, Zukio!
I don't know why but I have a feeling Dante is gonna get some very prolific roles in the future
His voice is EXACTLY the same. I love it!
I was in 4th grade when Hook came out. I remember the craze and it is still one of my family’s favorites! ❤
My honor! Oh wait, wrong franchise
The score is amazing. John williams is a genius!
That’s rough buddy
THANK YOU FOR THIS REFERENCE LOL
My girlfriend turned into the moon 🌝
40 something year old man, he still sounds twelve
W H E E Z E
And. Still haven't aged after 12 years of age. Lol hope i gets likes
Asian don't raise.
The Asian genes, bruh. Just like black people who don't age as much.
LOL
What 12 year old sounds like that?
I had such a huge crush on his character Rufio as a kid haha 😂
❤
absolutely loved this movie, absolutely love Rufio
R.I.P Robin Williams
We love you Rufio! We understand it’s overplayed for you, but YOU are OUR childhood.
We love you man
I looked upto him as a kid. King of the boys.
I am such a big fan of Dante Basco. He's really cute. My parents both love Dante Basco. Hey, does Dante Basco ever hang out with Dev Patel?
I really like him too and if I ever meet him at a convention in Florida or out of state, I'd die.
There is a painting of him in the auditorium of my old high school. I never met him but my uncle's went to high school with him and his brothers. Rufio was so cool to me when I was a kid
HAPPY 49TH BIRTHDAY DANTE BASCO !!!!
This is the number one movie of all cinematic history the pure emotion that envelops from the scores is incredible. The main theme is really about a father being there for his children and this theme develops throughout the whole film.
The entire hook score conducted by John Williams and his incredible Orchestra is a masterpiece and probably my absolute favorite.
Did the movie and music score make you cry? Please let me know below.
Yes it always makes me happy sob when he learn to fly again, the music score contributes
@@jedi2577 brilliant thank you for the reply
I still love his voice omg 😍
My all time favorite movie
Such an underrated actor.
I have to capture the Avatar and restore my honour!
I only hear zuko
Dante Basco is a national treasure
hello, zuko here
Y’all grew with him knowing him as Zuko or Rufio, but I knew him as Ben aka Ruben from “The Debut”
I know him as Dante from Pittsburg, CA. He went to high school with my uncle
I wanna hear this guy say Thats rough buddy again
ATLA: season 3 episode 14 17:54
Rufio was one of my first crushes as a very young kid and was devastated when Hook killed him, so yeah. That definitely stuck with me for a long time. Then he went on to voice one of my all-time favorite animated characters in Avatar. It's nice to have grown up with Dante.
I’m here after watching The Fabulous Filipino Brothers. Had to revisit 1991 again.
I have a crush on his voice, it’s so perfect
When I first saw Hook, I thought his name was Groovio.
Rufio was my childhood too.
This was amazing to see him again
My uncle Lorenzo knows Dante he’s a family friend😊
To me Rufio is and will always be a cool dude who’s got STYLE 😎
And to be clear: he never died. He got stabbed in Neverland. That brought him back into his realm where he continued his life as prince Zuko who became the Firelord the world needed. You want proof? Look at his hair 🔥
This explains my crushes on both jake and zuko ahahha
Yup
This guy's American Dragon, isn't he? Awesome, l loved Rufio as a child. Who knew?
His voice ☺️
Awesome. One of my favorite movies growing up.
He looks great
I wonder if Dante knows that there was a rock band that named themselves after his character, and actually adding the chant from the movie as the opening track to one of their albums.
Zuko the fire lord.
Rufio. Will always be that guy✊🏿
I like that he points out that the death comes out of nowhere. A bunch of people getting egged and having paint sprayed on them and then Rufio just gets stabbed right through the chest. Brutal.
I still dont understand how idiotic critics or even spielberg himself didnt like the movie. Its absolute classic
ZUKO! period!
Never realized that was him until a few days ago, and my mind was blown.
Dude still sounds the same after all these years
Just found about him being Jake long today, and it blew me away, he's in my favourite movie and played my favourite character in Avatar. I just liked American dragon. All I hear is Zuko though.
Linda nadirhoesein voice robin williams ❤😊
0:22 2:04 2:28 3:22 4:01 4:31 4:48 5:34 5:51
RU! FI! OHHHHHHH!!
I never really thought about it but Rufio might have been the first movie death I experienced.
Seriously zuko is all I hear
Rufio was my dream punk boyfriend
Me too
My god I never saw a guy like this like ever I saw him in Hook I'm telling you defo my first crush
Being 37 now is kinda crazy tho .
I can't believe I met Dante at Tampa Bay Comic Con 2022 and I wore my genderbent Jake Long cosplay that I made myself and he liked it. He really liked it and I still got my 8x10 glossy picture from our photo op
Dude is in his 40s but still has that youthful look to him
Rufio was a very complex character for such a short amount of time and lines he gets.
I think it’s sad he’s just known as zuko and not his other roles. Great actor and a great man
Amazing fairy 🧚♀️ tale for sure.
My first crush 💕😆
The Perfect Weapon🤙🏾
All I hear is Prince Zuko
Hey Dante drink a lot of tea don't never lose your voice
☕☕☕
It sounds like Dante is extremely disappointed because he never established himself as a bteakthrough star with the role as Rufio in "Hook." He sounds like he is stuck with the memories of his past role in the movie "Hook
" It's kinda sad, really! He seems to crave attention for himself. I DO agree with him that "Hook" is a great film that was underrated even by director Steven Spielberg. Who underestimated his own filming, actors, and great photography as well as great set designs of his own film..He did a great job and was a professional, all criticisms aside!
A great memorable classic!!
Was this his original acting role on the industry? Who doesn't love hook, this filipino kid didn't want women, didn't want money, didn't want power he was the lost boys leader. This guy.
his waist was snatched ngl
One time watching Hook with older eyes looking at Rufio I'd start to ponder his backstory of how old was he when Peter Pan never came back and all the boys realized they had forever lost their leader. How was it decided who the next leader was? Once Rufio is made the leader how would he start to distinguish himself especially against Hook if he ever attacked during that long time. Rufio had to be fearless and ruthless to fill Peter Pan's place even though he would never be able to have that one power of Pan which was flight. Rufio had a long run for himself and fought bravely right to the end.
Grew up watching this movie and know just found out that Ruffini is Prince Zuko😂
I remember at macdonalds, his was the first toy i ever got
RRUFI-OOOOOOOOOO
Had the biggest crush on rufio
