Jake et les pirates du Pays Imaginaire

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.

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.

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 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.

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)
