I still maintain the best adaptation of that story was Hook.
Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams absolutely Nailed their roles, shout-outs to Julia Roberts and Bob Hoskins, they also nailed their roles, but got upstaged by the former two thespians.
Don't forget about my boy Dante Basco. Dude nailed playing the insecure antagonist who later becomes friends with the main character years before Zuko.
I didn't mention Rufio because I fell victim to a urban legend that Dante Basco died somewhere around 2010. I wasn't aware of his legacy, since I have never seen Avatar: TLAB, or probably anything else he has been involved in.
Edit: looking it up, I have actually seen the entirety of The Boondocks, and Final Fantasy XIII. I didn't recognize Rufio as Jigme, or the Cocoon Inhabitants. Not surprising since both of those were like two decades after he played Rufio as a teenager. He would have been 15 or 16 when he played Rufio.
As far as Goofy Movie, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Touched by an Angel, and Johnny Bravo are concerned, while I saw all of those, I never heard him speak. I can only assume his adult register came into full force after he left the set of Hook.
I've literally can't remember seeing anything else he was in. I'm sure I saw some episodes of Highway to Heaven since I remember the show vaguely, and also The Wonder Years, but I wouldn't have known that he was going to be Rufio at that point as I am not clairvoyant.
