Captain Crook (later referred to as The Captain beginning in 1984) is a character who was featured in McDonald's McDonaldland series of commercials. He is pirate and is similar in appearance to the famed Captain Hook from Disney's 1953 movie Peter Pan. The character is compared to the Hamburglar, the difference being that this villain does not attempt to steal hamburgers but instead tries to take as many Filet-O-Fish sandwich as possible.
In later commercials, he was referred to simply as The Captain and his appearance was modified to make him to look less sinister (and somewhat Muppet-like). He was dropped from McDonaldland commercials following streamlining of the characters in the 1980s. His true last appearance would to be a small role in The Adventures of Ronald McDonald: McTreasure Island.
He was voiced by Lennie Weinrib.
