    A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

    This show puts an amazing twist on the classic peter Pan story; it is up to Jake and his friends to look after the island. The modernized and witty humour of the show is sure to entertain kids of all ages, and even teenagers. Who said cartoons were only for kids?Compared to the violent nature of Tv shows these days like Ben 10, Batman the Brave and the Bold, Rick and Morty and Spongebob, a well rounded show just like this is needed. Every episode has a character building moral, a sense of community and a real emphasis which correlates well with objective moral order and the Declaration of Human rights. This is exactly what I want my kids to be watching, and they love it!!I thank Disney for advertising such an amazing show for us all to watch, young and old, and would 100% recommend such a brilliant work of art no doubt.

    Maties, do you want to read my review? (fifteen seconds later) GREAT! In order to read it, everyone say the secret password, "Boo hoo hoo!"If you know the original Disney (or the book) then this show sugarcoats everything that Peter Pan was about. It was basically an adventure with children (mostly boys) who live on an island, Neverland, where nobody grows up and, do just about everything a boy (or at least back then) wanted to do, fly, chase or befriend Indians, fight pirates, fairies and mermaids exist, and always avoid being caught; basically every day was an adventure. How is that compared to the show? Let's see: three kids fly (in emergencies), chase clues, chase Hook (who is a wimpy bully) with a miserable band of three pirates, and they barely fight!Sure both sound similar, but if you think about it and watch them back to back then you'll see how different they are. For example Hook! I'm going to cry! Hook is the most dangerous pirate in all of Neverland. His hook is not only meant to replace his missing hand (which Peter Pan cut off) but also gut anybody who dares try any mutiny against him. Here in the show, he is just the worst version of a bully you could ever imagine! He'll do the lamest things ever like hold Jake's guitar hostage, take Izzy's beautiful seashell, steal Cubby's healthy snacks, and so on! This isn't the Hook I know or love! How about the fighting? They're not exciting whatsoever. Hook never uses his hook, not even when he's face to face with Peter himself, they have coconut cannon balls (are you kidding me?), Jake's sword is made of wood and he practically never uses it, oh and get this, the crocodile is harmless and just chases Hook, hops like a puppy dog on land, and when Hook lands on him, he bounces like a rodeo horse. I'm honestly thinking that companies just did all this because they were afraid if they stuck with the original then the kids' parents would sue them for having sword fighting and a man eating crocodile chasing after Hook after eating his "tasty" hand! How about when Peter Pan himself shows up (though it's so rare)? He's a moral guide for Jake and his crew. No, just no. Peter is not a moralist, he's a brash, rash, naughty cocky, fun, adventure-loving boy - just about everything a boy back then (and possibly now) wanted to be - even Return to Neverland got that right.The only thing worse is the Disney Junior formula: 1) Get the fourth wall actively involved 2) Try three times guessing the obvious. Nothing wrong with trying to get the fourth wall active, but it is pointless unless this was a video game; all the kids are doing are sitting on their butts, watching the adventure, and calling out to the non-responding TV screen. How about the other problem? Kids are going to pick up that the third option is the right one, and the first two guesses make themselves so obviously wrong instead of cleverly almost looking like the correct answer, and there also is no point into having the kids guessing because it stops the adventure for thirty seconds. Disney Junior is on par with Dora the Explorer, but in English. If you love Peter Pan, Disney or the book then you may not really want to watch this show.

    This show is excellent. The interaction between Mr. Smee and Captain hook is really funny, and my daughter laughs out loud. It is a far cry better then watching old re-runs of mickey mouse club house all day long. I would recommend this show to anybody. Each of the different characters has there own special way of doing things. This show helps teach counting and many other educational aspects. Each story has a moral issue background much like the shows I used to watch as a kid, and helps teach why stealing, lying, and cheating is wrong and never works in the end. The colors are great and the voices of captain hook and Smee are perfectly inline with the older movies. It also puts a unique spin on the whole Peter Pan story as Peter is no longer on the island and has left it to Jake and his crew to keep up the good times.

    I'm not sure what is wrong with the person who gave this a low score, or maybe they are making their 8 year old watch Disney JUNIOR... but this show has tons of educational stuff. It is a tad superficial, but being Disney Junior, the target audience is 2-4, maybe 5 year olds at best. The concepts would be a tad elementary to a child who is a typical school age...But the songs are catchy, they use visual/audible/repeated methods to teach. My daughter, who is 4 and of insanely above normal intel finds it good entertainment. Educational? Maybe not too much for her, but then again we use workbooks and games for education... Television is for mind numbing entertainment, relaxation, not education (and to be limited).Some of these other shows like spongebob and phineas&ferb are ridiculous and just emphasise the things that are wrong with the way we raise kids today. Ridiculous, scatter-brained and just a bunch of flashy colors and loud noises...and words that most of us don't let our kids say.... All junk. MM Clubhouse, good. Curious George, good. Even Martha Speaks, good. These hyperactive, silly noisy shock-shows are ridiculous and I won't let my child watch them. (but to each their own)
