It looks like I’ll be ripping on Disney yet again today. This morning Lyla and I were watching Jake and the Neverland Pirates.

It is a cute show I’ve seen a few times. Peter Pan is gone and Jake keeps Captain Hook at bay with the help of his friends. This particular episode was the return of Peter Pan. I thought that would be an interesting show. Peter Pan was a bit of a dick. He gave one of the characters a bag of pixie dust stressing that it is for emergencies only. This is all highlighted by Peter floating around like a gaggin’ fairy. He flies constantly. Even when they are all in danger Peter is the only one to fly while the others must hop to safety. Peter Pan is a jerk.
Captain Hook also has no desire to kill Peter. How disappointing. He just wants him to leave Neverland, again. When did this change? Hook wants Pan dead or at least wants to take Pan’s hand.
I know this show is aimed at younger viewers. If they must change these fundamental Peter Pan Points then don’t include Pan.
