From my adult perspective, I find the show lacking. They turned Hook into a wimp, blunting his hook. And the two musical pirates, while kind of okay to listen to when it's the live actors, are annoying within the storyline of the show.

Disney took the grandeur out of Neverland, slashing the cast down to four pirates, three children, and the crocodile.

That said, while it makes me want to eat a bullet, my toddler twins love it. My son yells for 'ook (Hook), liking him the best. My daughter repeats, "Yeah Hey, no way!" from the Izzy character.

That's when it became clear that the show was not intended to be educational, like the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. It was intended to be pure entertainment for the toddler set.

I consider that a criticism, as I believe in the era when Disney and Warner Bros both produced cartoons that the entire family could enjoy.

I would give this two stars, but since my kids are entertained (for now), I gave it a seven. Mission accomplished.

Who said teenagers can't watch these types of shows? These types of shows are certainly for family entertainment! Compared to its own brethren, Peter Pan, this show definitely has true potential. I love to watch it whenever I'm bored and have nothing else to do. The plots are well lined up, in chronological order, and easy for the audience to decipher what the anticipated outcomes and dangers are. It inculcates a sense of thrill, enjoyment in me. It definitely is directed at the teenager audience too. It may be mediocre for some teenagers, but I am sure many adolescents and teenagers are watching it. It depends on whether you like it or not.

This show, compared to other crappy shows these days, is on top of the Monopoly board. Still better than other repetitive, monotonous and rancid shows out there which have no entertainment value, poor story plots, poor character development and many other flaws. This show, really sees the light. It is a good creation of Disney, as it stands out already from the dilapidated Disney channel, filled with rubbish shows. Since they took away the Mickey Mouse shorts, House of Mouse, etc. Disney became very dull. This show makes my heart shimmer with hope, and I look forward for Disney to come up with more of these shows.

Disney missed the boat on this one (literally). It has no redeeming educational value and our child is annoyed with it completely. He'll ask for Mickey Mouse, but as soon as this show starts he asks for something else. We usually use the time to go outside or read a story, so it's been good for that...but, with all the possibilities that exist in Neverland, Disney didn't use it to full effect.

If it has any redeeming quality whatsoever, the voices of Captain Hook and Ensign Smee are actually really good imitations of some very difficult voices from the original movie. Too bad that's not enough to make it watchable.

And all of this may sound harsh, but come on! It's Disney!! They should know better!!!

I remember when I was a toddler & this show was being aired on Disney Jr Romania! I instantly recognized Captain Hook & Mr Smee! I didn't rewatch it, but I give it 10/10, because it is one of the puzzle piefes of my childhood.

Jake and the Never Land Pirates, along with other shows on Disney Junior, Nick Junior, and Treehouse TV, have gained popularity among children aged 2 to 7, but they fail to captivate older audiences for several reasons. Firstly, these shows lack complexity and intellectual challenge. The simplistic storytelling and repetitive nature of the plots make it difficult for older viewers to stay engaged or find any depth in the narratives. Additionally, the characters remain one-dimensional with little to no character development, leaving older viewers craving for more nuanced and multi-dimensional personalities.

Moreover, these shows are characterized by a distinct absence of mature themes and content. While it is understandable that they are targeted towards a young audience, the complete omission of any substance or depth limits their appeal to a narrow age range. Older viewers seek entertainment that explores complex emotions, tackles social issues, and presents thought-provoking storylines, which these shows fail to provide. The overly simplistic and childish approach further contributes to their unappealing nature for older viewers who desire more intellectually stimulating and engaging content.

In conclusion, shows like Jake and the Never Land Pirates, found on Disney Junior, Nick Junior, and Treehouse TV, may entertain young children aged 2 to 7, but they lack the complexity, depth, and mature themes that engage older audiences. The shallow storytelling, limited character development, and overall simplicity make these shows uninteresting for viewers outside the intended age range.

My three year old son LOVES this show. He gets such a kick out of the counting, and the kids. Afterward he pretend-plays that he's a pirate and acts out scenes from the show. I find the music to be amusing and fresh, and not annoying like most kids' music.

My observation is that the world and activities the kids get into remind me of a video game. Jumping on turtles and moving platforms, for example, is classic adventure-video game fodder, as is collecting coins.

The show encourages kids to jump and play along with them, and not so bad as Dora and other shows which break the fourth wall to encourage audience participation.

Give it a chance. If you're the parent of a young boy, I think it's a winner.

My four year old son absolutely loves this show. So does my one year old daughter. I think it is cute and different. I wish were able to find toys, but I'm sure they will come out eventually. It is somewhat educational, which is always a plus. My son loves to sing along and knows all the characters by name. It is a great alternative to pirate shows that are too "grown up" for kids. I think the voices of the characters are well done. The only thing I don't care for is the two real men who sing at the end dressed like pirates, it's a little strange. All in all I think Disney did a great job. I hope it does not get canceled, we would be sad!

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)

My 4 yr old and 6 yr old daughters LOVE this show. I've recorded all the episodes and they watch them daily. They sing along to the songs and know the words to all the episodes. We're not big Disney channel viewers because my girls prefer Nickeoleon, but this one Disney exception.

I think Disney was attempting to come up with a suitable option to Nickelodeon's Spongebob Squarepants and I think they succeeded. Spongebob doesn't have any educational qualities but at least Jake and the Neverland Pirates allows kids to count and use deductive reasoning. In addition, I think that Disney is trying to "ride the tide" of the Pirates of the Caribbean success and the interest that children have in pirates.

Good job Disney.

I grew up watching this show, it was the very first thing I watched on a TV. I always loved the idea of being a pirate and this show contribuited to my pirates of the Caribbean obsession. If you are one of those people saying that it's"boring" remember this is a kids' show, so it makes sense that there's not as much action. In my opinion, it's amazing and I cry of nostalgia whenever someone mentions it. Of course, it has its flaws, but I'm going to overlook them because again of all the nostalgia. If you want to, you can disagree, but this is just MY opinion. Peace.

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.
