On September 27, The Walt Disney Studios will be releasing Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Yo Ho, Mateys Away!, a DVD packed full with seven episodes from the series and two incredible bonus features including Yo Ho, You Want To Be A Pirate?, where Jake teaches viewers how to talk like a pirate, and Pirate Party With Pirate-oke, a collection of music videos performed by The Never Land Pirate Band that allow viewers to enjoy with or without the sing-along/karaoke-like feature.
Starting Monday, Disney Junior will be featuring a marathon of Jake and the Never Land Pirates called Yo Ho, Let’s Go Summer! Week. Every day from August 15 until August 19, Disney Junior will air two back-to-back episodes of Jake and the Never Land Pirates starting at 5:00 pm EST. The marathon kicks off with a show containing two new episodes featuring Tori Spelling as the voice of the Pirate Princess, a new character on the series. I couldn’t wait to watch The Pirate Princess and The Rainbow Wand and I sat down with both of my boys to check out the show.
I also appreciated the musical aspect of the show. There are plenty of short songs in every episode, some of which are repeated each show as well as others that are original to a particular episode. I’m always a big fan of incorporating music into television programs and Jake and the Never Land Pirates does this in a big way. The series even features its own band, The Never Land Pirate Band, which sings pirate ditties throughout the shows and wraps up each episode with a live music video!
