==Premise==
{{expand section|date=February 2011}}
The show revolves around a group of three children; Jake, Izzy and Cubby (two boys and a girl) who are pirates in Never Land (vs. Peter Pan's Neverland), looking for treasure. Their main obstacles are ], ], and Tick-Tock the Crocodile from Disney's ] franchise. 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 ] (which they receive after solving puzzles, or "pirate problems") and put them in their treasure chest known as the "Team Treasure Chest".

The first season of the series followed more "playful" conflicts, such as Jake and the crew getting their basketball back from Captain Hook, or Jake and the crew taking back their stolen skateboard. The second season gave a larger scale to the adventure in the show, now having the characters find a lost city of gold, and an ancient pirate pyramid.

Almost every episode contains two eleven-minute animated segments, followed by a live-action song by the ]. The singing characters "Sharky" and "Bones" appear in both animated and live action forms.

==Cast/Characters==

===Primary characters===

; '''Jake'''
:{{Voiced by|] (Ep. 1 – 36, 38 – 40 and 56), ] (Ep. 37 and 41 – 59) and Sean Ryan Fox (Ep. 60 – present)}}

; '''Izzy'''
:{{Voiced by|]}}
:Izzy is the only girl pirate in the group and acts as second-in-command to Jake. She has a small sack of pixie dust, which was given to her by the fairies (] and her friends). The team uses the pixie dust only for emergencies. However, there had been episodes when pixie dust is not used at all especially in "No Returns". Her catchphrase is "Yay hey, no way!"
; '''Cubby'''
:{{Voiced by|]}}
:Cubby is the youngest of the group with his catchphrase, "Aw, coconuts!" He has the map of Never Land. Cubby is not a member of the "Lost Boys", despite the fact he physically resembles the Cubby of the group. Cubby's personality is rather timid and he is not very confident in himself.
; '''Skully'''
:{{Voiced by|] (Speaking) and ] (Singing)}}
:Skully is a small, green ] who acts like a guardian to the team. He is usually shown wearing a black bandanna with white skulls on it. He keeps a lookout for Captain Hook and Mr. Smee.

:{{Voiced by|]}}
:Captain Hook is Never Land's resident pirate captain and the main antagonist of the series. Commander of the galleon "The Jolly Roger".

; '''Sharky and Bones'''
:{{Voiced by|] and ] (singing)/] (speaking)}}
:Sharky and Bones are members of Captain Hook's pirate crew. They usually spend time performing musical numbers rather than advancing the plot, acting as troubadours. Live action versions appear at the end of the show and they perform an original song.
; '''Marina the Mermaid'''
:{{Voiced by|]}}
:A young ] who lives in the ocean around Never Land with the rest of her people.

Marina also has a little sister named Stormy, and has a crush on Jake.
;'''Tick-Tock the Crocodile'''
:{{Voiced by|]}}
:The very same ] that devoured Captain Hook's left hand after Peter Pan cuts it off in a sword fight some years ago.
