Hands is one of the supporting antagonists in the 2002 Disney animated film Treasure Planet. He is the largest pirate in Long John Silver's pirate crew.

He was voiced by Michael McShane, who also played Wolf in Don't Eat the Neighbours.

Appearance

Hands is a tan behemoth-resembling alien with a red face and two pairs of arms with a large hole in each arm, as well as a gold wristband on two of his arms.

Biography

During the voyage, the ship encounters a supernova. While securing lifelines of all pirates so that they will not get lost, Jim saves Silver from falling just in time. The supernova then devolves into a black hole, where Arrow falls to his death. The burst of shock waves and maximum engine power enable Amelia to pilot the ship to safety. Amelia mourns the loss of Arrow, and suspects Jim of failing to secure the lifelines, while Arrow's line was actually cut by the most dangerous insectoid alien named Scroop. From his well-developed physique, he definitely serves as the muscle of the gang, from lifting most of the ship's cargo to breaking down the door of the artillery room to gather the guns for his fellow crew members during the mutiny.

He is also one of the first three pirates, the other two being Fayvoon and Longbourne to die in the film, when a misfire from Doppler resulted in falling debris, destroying the floorboards and sending the pursuing pirates falling out of the ship's longboat room from a great height to their apparent deaths. It is unknown if Hands and his fellow pirates survived the fall or not, but even if they survived, it is highly suspected that they were severely and mortally injured by it or were eventually and definitely killed when Treasure Planet was blown up by Captain Flint's trap.
