Jake And The Neverland Pirates: Jake Saves Bucky DVD Review
Jake And The Neverland Pirates: Jake Saves Bucky comes out on DVD + Digital Copy on October 16. If you missed the premier on Disney Chanel in September, you don’t want to miss this DVD! Recently, I was given a copy to review and I chose to watch it with my 3-year-old son, who is a huge Jake fan! As I suspected, we weren’t disappointed. We got our family room set up with pillows, drinks, popcorn and the inflatable “Jake sword” that came with the DVD. We both enjoyed the entire movie and my son has since enjoyed watching the additional episodes on my iPhone!
The movie begins with the Neverland Pirate Code which says Jake must race his Pirate ship, Bucky, against Captain Hook’s ship, The Jolly Roger. The catch is if Bucky loses, he belongs to Captain Hook… forever. After Hook cheats his way through the race and wins, Jake and his friends find out there is a way they can get Bucky back. Peter Pan joins in the fun and eventually helps Jake win Bucky back!
