If you have little children and watch Disney Junior, I am sure you have heard and watched Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Catchy songs and fun pirates make this show great for preschoolers and their moms :)! But in case you have missed the show here is what it is all about:
The show revolves around a group of three children (two boys and a girl) who are pirates in Never Land (vs. Peter Pan’s Neverland), looking for treasure. Their main challenges revolve around Captain Hook, Mr. Smee and Tick-Tock the Crocodile from Peter Pan. Captain Hook usually sees Jake and his crew doing something fun and steals it from them, and Jake and his crew have to get it back. After they succeed, Jake and his crew count their gold doubloons (which they receive after solving each “pirate problem”).
I recently had a chance to talk to the only girl pirate on the show, Izzy voiced by Madison Pettis! Both the character Izzy and Madison herself are great girls and I had a great time getting to know a little bit more about both.
Jackie: I have a 5 year old daughter and we LOVE Jake and the Neverland Pirates! What is your favorite part about being on the show?
Madison: I really love playing Izzy, she is such a fun character. Being the only girl on the show, she is all about girl power and strength and that is a lot of fun!
Jackie: Izzy has to be a pretty special character to be the only girl pirate around! Besides her girl power what else makes her special?
Madison: Her Pixie Dust is pretty special! It was only given to Izzy, by the fairies, in case of emergency!
Jackie: Disney’s Jake and the Neverland Pirates: Peter Pan Returns was released to DVD April 3rd, what is your favorite part of the movie?
Madison: That Peter Pan actually shows up! In past episodes there has been mention of him and we can see him in the stars, but until now he has never made an appearance! It makes the movie super special to have him in it!
Jackie: Anything fun coming up on the show you can tell us about?
Madison: Be on the lookout for a lot more songs, we have been recording a lot. They are super catchy!
Jackie: And because we love Disney so much around here I have to ask, You have a birthday in a few months – any chance you will be spending it at Walt Disney World?
Madison: You know what, that is a great idea! I haven’t made any plans yet but we did spend my brothers birthday there a few years ago. Seriously, thank you that was a great idea!!
So fans heading to Disney in the early part of July, keep your eyes out you might catch a glimpse of Jake and the Neverland Pirates star Madison Pettis. She is a very nice young lady at the end of our conversation we chatted a bit about how much I appreciated her kindness and her being a role model for our young kids. Getting to know her a little bit better has made me want to support the show even more. She really cares about what she is doing and is a hard worker! You will also get a chance to see Madison Pettis on a few upcoming episodes of Lab Rats on Disney XD, so be on the lookout for that!
If you get a chance head out to your local store and purchase the all new DVD Jake and the Neverland Pirates: Peter Pan Returns!
