A new pirate showed up at the Disneyland Resort over the weekend, this time at Disney California Adventure. Jake from the Disney Channel animated series "Jake and the Neverland Pirates," is on board as the newest walk-around character at the theme park.
Jake heads up a three-character band of child-like pirates in the show that are looking for hidden treasure. The show is set in the same setting of Neverland as the Disney animated film "Peter Pan."Three characters from the film also appear in the show; Captain Hook, Mr. Smee and Tick-Tock the Crocodile, with Captain Hook attempting to get to the treasure at the expense of Jake and his crew. The cartoon series is part of the Disney Channel's new Disney Junior line-up of television programming aimed at children ages 2-7. Jake appears at various times on the sidewalks of Hollywood Boulevard in the Hollywood Pictures Backlot area of the theme park.
