When captured by Captain Hook, every child in the brig loves Smee – he cannot lay a fist on them and does their darning – despite his belief that they fear him.
In Peter Pan in Scarlet (2006) by British author Geraldine McCaughrean, Smee has moved into the Underground Home of the Lost Boys.
In the first film, he is never referred to as the first mate but consistently acts as one to Captain Hook (though with varying degrees of personal loyalty).
[3] Mr. Smee is played by actor Faustino Di Bauda in Disney Channel's live-action film Descendants 3.
In the Fox Kids series Peter Pan and the Pirates, Mr. Smee (voiced by Ed Gilbert with an Irish accent) is Hook's right-hand man.
His biggest difference from the other pirates is that he is clumsy and not able to capture one of the Lost Boys (as seen in "Slightly Duped" and "Play Ball").
Smee is allowed access to Hook's private quarters, is seen preparing meals for the Captain and even helps him disrobe before bed.
He also talks Hook into trying to persuade Peter's children, Jack and Maggie, to remain in Neverland permanently by using their father's repeated broken promises and prolonged absences as examples.
In the Enchanted Forest, he makes a deal with Rumplestiltskin in order to get his life extended: a magic bean for his age reversal.
Captain Hook, then the pirate Killian Jones, manages to intervene and kidnaps Mr. Smee to obtain the magic bean.
Following the Dark Curse's being undone, Mr. Smee was restored to human form as he was seen in the company of Hook and his pirates when they were robbing a stagecoach.
In the 2024 Star Wars live-action television show, Skeleton Crew, the droid "boatswain" is named SM-33, a nod to Smee.
