Peter Pan is back––but his shadow is missing! When Peter loses his shadow while playing a game of Catch-Me-If-You-Can, he returns to Never Land to seek help from his kid pirate friend Jake. Embarking on one of his most daring and exciting adventures ever, Jake and his kid pirate pals, Izzy and Cubby, along with lookout parrot Skully, must use teamwork to find Peter’s shadow and return it to its rightful owner.

MY THOUGHTS:

This is a cute DVD for any Disney fan, especially Jake & the Never Land Pirate fans!  My boys (3 and 5) have loved this show since it started and I admit I like it too because Peter Pan has always been one of my favorite Disney movies!  This DVD is great though because it features so many great episodes, including one we hadn’t seen before featuring Captain Hooks mom!  Even though we have seen all the other episodes it is nice to have the DVD to watch Jake and the gang anytime.  If you have never seen the show before, Peter Pan is not on the show regularly and I was happy they brought him back even if just for an episode.  We brought this DVD to grandmas, the car, even the hospital while my little guy was there.  The animation is great, the singing is fun, and the lessons are perfect for preschoolers to understand.
