Even though this show hasn't seen the light of day on the airwaves in over a decade and a half, I still find it far-fetched just how rare and underrepresented this show really is. I wouldn't see it again until coming across videos of the 4 episodes there are available at Veoh months ago. Although as far as the animated adaptations are concerned and I like both this version and the original Disney movie equally, actually, I agree that this most certainly has got to be the more superior of the two. I hope the powers-that-be who are responsible for its future release on DVD in 2020 aren't serious, no way, they can't be. If they are, they're tripping and horse-scatting. Unbelievable that the show never re-aired on any other channel like Nickelodeon, Cartoon Network or Boomerang. And considering it's been such a long time since this series hit the air, now it's just totally underexposed. Peter Pan and the Pirates was one of the earliest shows that premiered on Fox Kids and should've also been one of the first on DVD already. It's my most favorite out of all the Fox Kids programs and either needs to be brought back to t.v. pronto or brought to DVD already. It deserves more recognition than it's received and needs to be introduced to a new generation. It's for sure much better than some of the more recent shows on now and could fill airtime for one of them.I used to watch this often when I was little and I've never forgotten about it. For those who haven't seen it at all, I recommend it because it's great escapism and it's got thrilling adventures. It's a top-notch, grade A+ cartoon and everything about it is perfect: The stories, the animation, the characters, the voice-acting, there are no qualms about them. It doesn't disappoint and will keep anyone at the edge of their seats. That's just how great it is. Not a program to be neglected. But don't take my word for it, just find out for yourselves and y'all will see why it's earned the accolades it has. It's among the best and most interesting/engaging shows ever. An underrated but overlooked, worthy classic.

I saw a fair amount of episodes on YouTube and I was shocked that they don't make cartoons like this anymore. This show deserves a lot more recognition, why is it so underrated. The animation and theme tune are fantastic, as are the voice talents. The animation is just amazing, and the theme tune is in my top 10 of the best theme tunes for an animated show ever along with Talespin and Darkwing Duck. Peter and the Darlings are very well done, and all the story lines are gripping and fun. But the highlight of the whole series, was Tim Curry in a phenomenal performance as Captain Hook, who thoroughly deserved the daytime Emmy, and he was aided by some truly terrific dialogue. Sure his character animation isn't what Barrie imagined, but the writers made him into a highly complex character, and as a fan of Curry, I consider Hook to be among his best voice over roles. Hook is seen as a gentleman, who believes in good manners, has the highest regard for his mother but has a rather vindictive side towards his fellow pirates ( a bit like Jekyll and Hyde) There are also plenty of laugh out loud funny moments, like Peter pretending to be a gentleman to even a score with Hook, Hook's reactions were priceless. And there's even an episode when Hook tries to fly! My favourite line of Hook's, other than his iconic insults, is in the episode the Play's the thing, when he says, "Oh Shakespeare, give thanks that you aren't here to witness this atrocity." This show was so good, why don't they show it anymore? It's better, in my opinion, than the Disney movie, and the sequel, and actually my favourite of any Peter Pan adaptation. I think we should get a petition to bring this show back! Without question, 10/10. Bethany Cox

i loved this show when i was a kid. i remember rushing home from school every day to catch it cause it came on shortly after i got out. in fact it was because of this show that I've ended up such a huge fan of the peter pan stories, movies, and books. the main reason i was so fond of this version was because the series tended to be a bit darker than most other cartoons at that time. for example, i remember an episode where capt. hooks brother came to neverland with a ghost ship. the fight that ensued was pretty violent and the ghost ship was kinda scary. also, there was an episode where peter ties hook up to a tree and is about to kill him, but it turns around when peter decides to grow old and almost destroys neverland. all in all, it was a great show and one that i'd love to see again. lets hope that fox will release this one on DVD sometime, or maybe let it run on cartoon network.

This show had great animation. Very detailed. The show was also more correct with the personalities of many of the characters, or at least that's my thought on the matter. I don't know why the show was taken off the air or why the reruns are not shown. It's a shame todays viewers don't get as much intelligence from television as they used to.
