Peter Pan & the Pirates is an American animated television series based on J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan that originally aired on Fox Broadcasting Company from September 8, 1990 to September 10, 1991. Repeats continued to air until September 11, 1992. A repeat of the series' Christmas episode was aired on December 25, 1993. The series was then on Fox in re-run form on weekday mornings from November 4, 1996 to March 28, 1997. Reruns were then shown on Fox Family in 1998.
Plot
The television show focuses as much on the pirates as it does on Peter Pan. Captain Hook and Mr. Smee traditionally are the only pirates who receive any attention in the story, but here, the other crew members of the Jolly Roger (Robert Mullins, Alf Mason, Gentleman Ignatious Starkey, Billy Jukes, and Cookson) are given distinct personalities and character development. A real force to be reckoned with, Hook is a powerful, temperamental, cultured, intelligent, and charming pirate with an insatiable thirst for vengeance.
Some attention was also given to the Native American characters (no longer called Redskins). They and their customs were often featured in the storyline.
One episode featured Wendy's daughter Jane (who appears at the end of the original play Peter Pan and at the end of the original book Peter and Wendy). Jane, from the future, visits the Neverland. At the end of the episode, Wendy is a little sad because she knows that this existence from her daughter means that one day Wendy will leave Neverland and grow up.
Production
The on-screen title was given as Fox's Peter Pan & the Pirates (Given in promotional materials and advertisements in the UK as Twentieth Century Fox's Peter Pan & the Pirates) as to emphasize the fact that this was an independent production by 20th Century Fox, unrelated to the Disney feature or other previous media incarnations of the Peter Pan property.
Characters
Main characters
- Peter Pan (voiced by Jason Marsden) - The titular protagonist of the series and the main leader of the group, which includes ten children with him. He has dark brown hair worn in a ponytail. The Peter in this version wears a dark brown costume, which distinguishes him from other versions, in which he normally wears green. He's always up for a challenge and game for adventure no matter how perilous. He sees everything as a game, doesn't notice the bad consequences or his mistakes (he doesn't make any!) and doesn't get wiser after the event. He can't read (which is referenced in the episodes "The Ruby", "Treasure Hunt", "When games become deadly", "Peter in Wonderland", "Friday, the thirteenth", "Frau Brumhandel" and "Curly's Laugh") and forgets nearly everything (as seen in "Now Day Party", "Jules Verne Night", "Invisible Tootles", "Nibs and the Mermaids", "Living Pictures", "Elementary, my dear Pan" or "The Footrace"). The most important thing for him is having and playing games, where he knows and accepts the rules ("When games become deadly", "After the Laughter", "Knights of Neverland", "Mardi Grass", "Hook, the faithful Son", "Seven League Boots" or Count the Chauvin"), but not once finds it more funny and interesting to change them or play something else ("The coldest Cut of all", "Now day Party" or "The Footrace"). As in Barrie's novel "Peter and Wendy" and the other (Movie/TV) versions he can imitate other people's voices, where he regularly imitates the one of Hook, what saves difficult situations ("The Rake", "The Hook and the Hat", "Plucking of Short Tom" or "Slightly Duped"). He enjoys his confrontations with Captain Hook. Despite his cockiness, recklessness, headstrongness, and selfishness, he still always manages to come through in the end. Even though he may be naive, stubborn and always up for fun and games, he knows and recognizes the danger and cares for his friends ("The coldest cut of all", "The Rake", "Slightly in Stone", "Knights of Neverland", "The Croc and the Clock", "Plucking of Short Tom", "After the Laughter", "Nibs and the Mermaids", "Wendy and the Croc", "The Great Race", "Slightly Duped", "Friday the Thirteenth", "Frau Brumhandel" or "Invisible Tootles"). In "Slightly in Stone", he even abandons his trapped boot in order to return in time with the golden acorn needed to save Slightly from remaining stone forever. He is the good guy and cares for the justice and a happy end, however whole peace and hamony is not for him. It's very important to have action, where danger and adventures belong to ("The Rake" or "Knights of Neverland"). He'd never allow that it would ever come to the end of Hook, because this way the place and his life would become quiet and boring. He does everything to keep Hook, the pirates and the Jolly Roger in Neverland ("The Croc and the Clock", "Three Wishes" or "Immortal Pan").
- Tinker Bell (voiced by Debi Derryberry) - A red-headed fairy and Peter Pan's sidekick. She's often the more practical of the two and is there for him and the others to get them out of jams if and whenever she can.
- Wendy Darling (voiced by Christina Lange) - A girl who wears a pink dress, has short black hair and crown made of white flowers. She is the oldest of the Darling siblings, her two younger brothers are John and Michael Darling. As in the novel, she's very tidy, can't stand the mess ("Tootles and the Dragon", "Wendy and the Croc", "Stupid Smee" or "Pirate Boys, Lost Men"), is like a mother for the boys and tells them bedtime stories ("Now Day Party", "Living Pictures", "Elementary, my dear Pan", "Curly's Laugh" or "Billy Jukes, Lost Boy"). Peter claims that girls are smarter and more intelligent than boys, and Wendy is often calmer and more mature than the rest of the group ("The Hook and the Hat", "The Croc and the Clock", "When games become deadly" or "Count the Chauvin"). She also believes even Captain Hook isn't really a bad person and has feelings ("Hook's Mother's Picture", "Knights of Neverland", "The Dream", "After the Laughter", "Stupid Smee", "The Hook and the Head" or "Living Pictures"). But also she likes playing games and having fun ("Now day Party", "After the Laughter", "Play Ball" or "Curly's Laugh") and can take part in playing a joke on someone ("Stupid Smee", "Seven league boots" or "The Letter"). She's often closer to Peter than anyone else and spends the most time with him ("After the laughter", "The footrace", "Peter in Wonderland", "The Phantom Shaman" or "Play Ball"). She can be in trouble, where the others, especially Peter, care for her ("After the laughter", "Slightly in Stone", "Stupid Smee", "The Play's the thing", "Lost memories of pirate Pan", "Knights of Neverland", "Vanity, thy name is mermaid" or "Wendy and he Croc"). It happens that she refuses taking part at the adventures and the fights ("Now day Party", "Professor Smee", "Tootles and the Dragon", "Three Wishes", "The Croc and the clock", "Tootles, the bold", "Slightly duped", "Immortal Pan", "Invisible Tootles" or "Pirate Boys, Lost Men"), but is generally an active person and has a big participation in the action ("The coldest cut of all", "The Phantom Shaman", "Play Ball", "Billy Jukes, Lost Boy", "The girl who lives in the Moon", "Peter in Wonderland", "Frau Brumhandel", "The Pirate who came to dinner" or "Count de Chauvin".)
- John Darling (voiced by Jack Lynch) - The middle Darling sibling; Wendy's and Michael's brother. He has hazel blonde hair and wears a brown bowler hat or derby. It's obvious, that his main place is in the Darling Family ("The coldest cut of all", "Treasure hunt", "The Girl who lives in the Moon", "The Wind and the Panther", "The Dream", "Knights of Neverland", "Hook's mother's picture", "Lost memories of pirate Pan", "Play Ball", "Wendy and the Croc", "When games become deadly" or "The Hook and the Hat"), but not once he can be seen (with his gender and age) also as one of the Lost Boys ("The Great Race", "Peter in Wonderland", "Curly's Laugh", "Demise of Hook", "The Play's the thing", "Invisible Tootles", "Dr. Livingstone and Captain Hook", "Stupid Smee", "The Croc and the clock", "Three Wishes" or "Pirate Boys, Lost Men"). He also shares the bed with them and often fights with the pirates using a magic sword of wood, which always grows again after breaking, as it does with the six Lost Boys ("The Girl who lives in the Moon", "Knights of Neverland"). The big difference is that he wears more formal clothes and more often takes off his headdress ("The coldest cut of all", "A whole in the wall", "River at Night", "The Girl who lives in the Moon", "Stupid Smee", "Tootles and the Dragon", "Hook's Christmas", "Wendy and the Croc", "Invisible Tootles" or "The Letter"). From all the friends he's the one who spends the most time with books ("The coldest cut of all" or "Slightly in Stone"), it can be seen, that he can read ("Slightly in Stone", "The Ruby", "Elementary, my dear Pan", "The letter", "Friday the thirteenth" or "Curly's Laugh"), he likes making notes and writing journals ("The coldest cut of all") and enjoys painting ("Peter in Wonderland") and not once leads himself more by his knowledge and his mind, not by greenness or desire for games and adventures ("The coldest cut of all", "Treasure hunt", "The Ruby", "The girl who lives in the moon", "Wendy and the Croc", "Elementary, my dear Pan", "The Rake" or "Now Day Party").
- Michael Darling (voiced by Whitby Hertford) - Wendy and John's brother and the youngest of the Darling siblings. He has light brown, curly hair and wears blue, overall-like, footy pajamas. As in the novel he is the youngest and smallest of the group and has a big basket as his bed and sometimes he is slower and more frightened, so Peter and the others must look after him ("The coldest cut of all", "Treasure hunt", "Peter in Wonderland", "Mardi grass", "Pirate Shadows", "The Croc and the Clock", "Tootles and the Dragon", "Stupid Smee", "When Games become deadly", "Dr. Livingstone and Captain Hook" or "The Wind and the Panther"). He loves playing around, having fun ("Now day Party", "A day at the Fair", "Mardi grass") and especially enjoys running after animals ("The Dream" or "Pirate Shadows"). Even if being the "pet of the family" and often not able to take part at the action ("The Wind and the Panther", "The Plucking of Short Tom", "The Croc and the Clock", "Tootles and the Dragon" or "Hook's Mother's Picture") he doesn't like and prefer being the passive one and doing nothing ("Slightly in Stone", "A day at the Fair", "Tootles and the Dragon", "Lost memories of pirate Pan" or "Mardi grass"). He can take part at the fights and adventures ("The coldest cut of all", "Slightly in Stone", "Treasure hunt", "Knights of Neverland", "The Girl who lives in the Moon", "Billy Jukes, Lost Boy" or "Play Ball") and not once comes out as the only one, who can save the situation ("A day at the Fair", "Pirate Shadows", "Peter in Wonderland", "Living Pictures", "The Pirate who came to Dinner" or "Frau Brumhandel").
- The Lost Boys - A group of six orphaned boys who are confederated with Peter Pan. They only remember their life in Neverland ("Hook's Mother's Picture"), don't know how it is and looks beyond this world ("Lost memories of Pirate Pan"), so they don't have their own families. Their home and place is at Peter's ("Billy Jukes, Lost Boy"). Their clothes are informal and a little disrupted. They all wear caps shaped from various animal heads, which are a very big and important part of them. Taking them off is really a very special rarity. They spend all the time wearing their caps, even if they go to bed ("Treasure hunt", "Tootles the bold", "River at Night" or "The Never Ark"), change their allday clothes ("The Play's the Thing") or take a swim in trunks ("Nibs and the Mermaids"). Not once they have some other headdress, but their main cap hidden under it ("Knights of Neverland"), but can also have only another cap ("Count the Chauvin"). There can be a situation, where they need to take them off ("Tootles the Bold", "Friday, the thirteenth" or "Seven league boots") or because of a (little) accident they fall them off ("The Rake" or "Mardi Grass").
- Nibs (voiced by Adam Carl) - The eldest of the Lost Boys with the most mature voice. He is tall and slim, has blonde hair and wears a cap shaped like a bear's head with the face cut out. He is Peter's second-in-command and makes the orders when Peter is absent ("The Girl who lives in the Moon", "Billy Jukes, Lost Boy", "Invisible Tootles", "Immortal Pan", "Lost memories of pirate Pan", "Demise of Hook", "Peter on Trial", "Slightly duped" or "Pirate Boys, Lost Men"). He's the one who is qualified for this role for being the most responsible, sensible and mature when making decisions ("Living Pictures", "Slightly duped", "The Hook and the Hat", "Mardi grass", "Slightly in stone" or "Three Wishes"). However also he not once has a changeable being, where he can become a little too brash and confident and likes to be (more) in spotlight ("The Girl who lives in the Moon", "Knights of Neverland", "Nibs and the Mermaids", "Mardi Grass" or "Billy Jukes, Lost Boy") and then another time rather quiet and reluctant and taking either none or at least very little part at the action ("Now Day Party", "The Pirate who came to Dinner", "Jules Verne Night" or "Slightly duped"). He loves having fun ("Wendy and the Croc", "Nibs and the Mermaids", "Tootles and the Dragon", "Invisible Tootles", "Stupid Smee", "Friday, the thirteenth" or "Pirate Boys, Lost Men"), can also act naively and irresponsibly ("Knights of Neverland", "Nibs and the Mermaids", "Stupid Smee" or "Count de Chauvin") and sometimes can be a little too slow and inattentive and doesn't note the danger or everything around him ("Knights of Neverland", "Nibs and the Mermaids", "The Girl who lives in the Moon", "Dr. Livingstone and Captain Hook", "Count the Chauvin", "The Letter", "Slightly duped" or "Pirate Boys, Lost Men"). He knows what to do when acting as the leader ("Slightly duped", "The Girl who lives in the Moon", "Three Wishes" or "Pirate Boys, Lost Men"), but also listens to Peter and the others when they have other ideas ("Tootles and the Dragon", "Knights of Neverland", "Jules Verne Night", "Frau Brumhandel", "Slightly in stone" or "Pirate Boys, Lost Men").
- Slightly (voiced by Scott Menville) - The tallest and 2nd eldest Lost Boy. He has pale skin, honey blonde hair and wears a cap in the shape of a parrot's head. As a reference to his name he constantly uses the word "slightly" in his sentences. His ambition is to be Peter's second-in-command ("Slightly duped" or "Billy Jukes, Lost Boy"), but when he is appointed such, he finds he is not cut out for the position ("Slightly duped"). He is often naive and immature when making decisions which can cause trouble for the others ("Slightly duped"). It's important for him to take part at the action ("Knights of Neverland", "The Girl, who lives in the Moon", "Count the Chauvin", "The Demise of Hook", "The Neverscroll", "Slightly duped", "Billy Jukes, Lost Boy", "All Hallow's Eve" or "Pirate Boys, Lost Men") but also can prefer the calmness and staying out of the danger and adventures ("Plucking of Short Tom", "Now Day Party", "Hook the faithful Son" or "The Rake"). He sees Peter and the others as his family and also is very important to them ("Slightly in Stone", "The Rake", "Knights of Neverland", "The Neverscroll", "Frau Brumhandel" or "Billy Jukes, Lost Boy"). Even if not being the leader he can take the orders ("The Girl who lives in the Moon", "Demise of Hook" or "Pirate Boys, Lost Men"), knows what to do during a battle and has his role in the gang of Lost Boys, where he knows how to act and behave ("Invisible Tootles", "Seven League Boots", "The Pirate, who came to dinner", "Hook's Mother's Picture" or "Pirate Boys, Lost Men"). From the Pirate Crew, he is the closest to Billy Jukes ("Billy Jukes, Lost Boy" or "Pirate Boys, Lost Men").
- Curly (voiced by Josh Keaton) - A hispanic Lost Boy with a cap shaped like a tiger's head with the face cut out. He has a tanned complexion, caramel brown hair and a very slim figure. From the age he is exactly in the middle of the Lost Boys, where Nibs and Slightly are older and the Twins and Tootles are younger, so because of this and also his way of acting he's neither the leader nor the pet of the family. It's obvious and all naturally he has his role and place in the gang of Peter and the Lost Boys ("The coldest cut of all", "The Croc and the Clock", "The girl who lives in the Moon", "The Lost Memories of Pirate Pan", "Stupid Smee", "Hook’s Mother’s Picture", "The Hook and the Hat", "Billy Jukes, Lost Boy", "Tootles and the Dragon", "Slightly duped", "Pirate Boys, Lost Men", "Count de Chauvin", "Seven league Boots" or "Frau Brumhandel"), where it's no problem for him to take the orders from the leader and/or to discharge his duty ("The coldest cut of all", "Slightly in Stone", "Knights of Neverland", "The girl who lives in the Moon", "Invisible Tootles", "Demise of Hook", "The Hook and the Hat", "Tootles and the Dragon", "Count de Chauvin", "Slightly duped", "Pirate Boys, Lost Men" or "Frau Brumhandel") and he also knows what to do when fighting ("Hook’s Mother’s Picture", "The girl who lives in the Moon", "Billy Jukes, Lost Boy", "Curly’s Laugh", "Slightly duped" or "Pirate Boys, Lost Men"). He has a sense of humor and loves having fun ("Curly's Laugh", "Nibs and the Mermaids", "The Great Race", "Invisible Tootles", "Hook's Mother's Picture", "Hook, the faithful son", "Friday, the thirteenth" and "Pirate Boys, Lost Men"), but also knows and recognizes when the situation is more serious and there is no time for laughing and joking around ("Living Pictures", "Hook's mother's picture", "Nibs and the mermaids", "Curly's Laugh", "Lost memories of Piraten Pan", "Slightly duped" or "Friday the Thirteenth"). He is very believable ("Friday the Thirteenth") and it's very important for him not to be seen by the others as useless or clumsy ("Friday, the thirteenth"). He tries to act in a more determined and independent manner ("Knights of Neverland", "Slightly duped", "Count the Chauvin" or "Friday, the thirteenth").
- The Twins (voiced by Aaron Lohr and Michael Bacall) - Two Lost Boys who aren't identical, aside from both wearing caps in the shape of a leopard's head with cut-outs in the front for their faces. Individually (and only in the written language) they're known as Tall Twin and Short Twin, their heights being the main distinction. Other distinctions are their complexions and hair color, Tall Twin having a darker complexion and black curly hair, and Short Twin having lighter skin and red straight hair. Short Twin looks a little plumper than his bigger brother. They're so synchronised that they accomplish more when they work together and often finish each other's sentences. They also do practical everything together and are never apart ("Tootles and the Dragon", "Knights of Neverland", "Slightly duped", "The Croc and the Clock", "Curly's Laugh" or "Pirate Shadows"). They are known as the mechanics and inventors in the group and most of their activity is creating, building and testing their own inventions and machines ("The Great Race", "Jules Verne Night", "Hook the Faithful Son", "Nibs and the Mermaids", "When games become deadly", "After the Laughter", "Vanity, thy name is Mermaid", "Invisible Tootles", "Stupid Smee", "The Letter", "The Croc and the Clock", "Evicted" and "Dr. Livingstone and Captain Hook"). In the episode "The Great Race", they fall out and find themselves unable to act normally, as they would when together, and their inventions fall apart.
- Tootles (voiced by Chris M. Allport) - The youngest of the Lost Boys who wears a cap in the shape of a panda's head with face cut-out and has a black blotch around his left eye. He is very small and has a round stomach, but because he loves eating and always finds time for this ("Tootles and the Dragon", "Now Day Party", "The Croc and the clock", "The Great Race", "Invisible Tootles", "Pirate Boys, Lost Men" or "Dr. Livingstone and Captain Hook"). As created by Barrie he's often clumsy which can cause problems for the others when looking for adventures ("Tootles and the Dragon", "Tootles the Bold", "Slightly duped", "First Encounter", "Invisible Tootles" or "The Croc and the clock"). He can also become too sensitive, especially when getting judged or not noticed by the others ("Tootles and the Dragon" or "Invisible Tootles"). Even though he has his role in the group, knows what to do when fighting ("Knights of Neverland", "Billy Jukes, Lost Boy", "The Demise of Hook" or "Pirate Boys, Lost Men"), can come out with the idea how to save the situation ("Slightly in stone", "Tootles, the bold" or "Invisible Tootles") and as referred to in the episode "Tootles and the Dragon" he's the most patient of the group. Of the Lost Boys, he is the one who is the closest to Michael ("Treasure Hunt", "Stupid Smee" or "Slightly in Stone"). Generally his position can be seen thanks to Michael. When Michael is at the same place Tootles is not the little one and the helpless, but more mature and independent and equal with all the older boys of the group ("The coldest Cut of all", "Living Pictures", "Treasure Hunt", "Stupid Smee", "The Hook and the Hat", "When games become deadly", "Demise of Hook", "Knights of Neverland", "Curly's Laugh", "Hook's Mother's Picture", "Tootles and the Dragon", "Dr. Livingstone and Captain Hook" or "The Great Race"). But not once, especially when Michael is not around, Tootles as being the smallest and youngest Lost Boy comes out to be "the pet of the family" ("Play Ball", "Vanity, thy name is Mermaid", "Pirate Boys, Lost Men" or "Slightly duped") where the others must look some more after him ("The Croc and the Clock", "First Encounter" or "Invisible Tootles").
Villains
- Captain James Algernon Cloudesley Hook (voiced by Tim Curry) - The main antagonist of the series and Peter Pan's nemesis. As his name implies, James Hook is the head of his pirate crew. Although he's well known for his ruthless and nefarious nature, the Hook in this version is more complex and in many ways closer to the portrayal in Barrie's book. References to Peter Pan feeding Captain Hook's hand to the crocodile is still intact. Rather than the traditional long black hair (or wig) and long moustache, this Hook is clean-shaven and has his white hair styled in the manner of a powdered wig. In contrast to his bumbling crew, Hook is very much the aristocrat, and is very well read and charming in a sinister way. He also is very good at playing a harpsichord, despite the loss of his hand. Two members of his Family are mentioned: his brother Patch, who owned his own Pirate Ship called "The Rake", and his mother, who is referred to as having had some unfulfilled wishes about her son James and being already dead, the only thing left of her memory being a portrait that Hook has in his cabin, but never is shown completely; however it is strongly implied that she was hideously ugly ("Hook's Mother's Picture", "Eternal Youth", "Friday, the Thirteenth" or "The Letter"). As generally having a very rude and cruel character he has a weakness for mothers, not only his own ("When games become deadly"), but also strange mothers ("The Letter") and can become sensitive, when he hears of her thoughts or feelings ("Eternal Youth" or "Hook, the faithful son").
- Smee (voiced by Ed Gilbert in an Irish accent) - Captain Hook's loyal Bosun and the closest he has to a friend, although he rarely seems to appreciate it. He is small, but not fat, has grey-brown hair and a beard and pale blue eyes. His weapon is a sword he names Johnny Corkscrew. The main difference from the other pirates is that he is often clumsy and not really able to capture one of the Lost Boys ("Treasure Hunt, "Slightly Duped" and "Play Ball"). It is a big rarity when he manages to do this ("The Rake", "Friday, the thirteenth" or "Mardi Gras"). Generally the closest person to him is Captain Hook ("River at Night", "The Rake", "Eternal Youth", "The Hook and the Hat", "Profesor Smee", "Doctor Livingstone and Captain Hook", "Play Ball", "Peter in Wonderland", "Curly's Laugh", or "Pirate Boys, Lost Men"), but not once he can also be more equal to the other pirates ("The plucking of Short Tom", "Billy Jukes. Lost Boy", "Immortal Pan", "Three Wishes", "Frau Brumhandel" or "A day at the fair").
- "Gentleman" Ignatious P. Starkey (voiced by David Shaughnessy) - A foppish, gentlemanly English member of Hook's crew who is believed to be the first mate. He speaks with a "dash-it-all" accent, is very good with an epée, and in "A Day at the Fair" we learn he is also a good pugilist.
- Robert Mullins (voiced by Jack Angel) - A member of Captain Hook's crew who hails from Brooklyn, and tends to clash with his leader more than anyone else on the ship. Although he has referred to Captain Hook as "the finest pirate who ever lived", he sometimes schemes to take over command. He also is deeply superstitious and prone to landsickness ("The Girl, who lives in the Moon", "A Day at the Fair", "Invisible Tootles", "Stupid Smee", "The Hook and the Hat", "Doctor Livingstone and Captain Hook" or "Friday the Thirteenth"). Robert is good friends with Billy Jukes and has taught him about pirating. He is big, muscular, has brown hair, a long face, long mustachios, and a scar on his left eye. He is very good in sword fighting.
- Billy Jukes (voiced by Eugene Williams) - The ship's gunner and the youngest pirate who is of Old World/Indian descent. He was once a castaway on a desert island until he was rescued by Captain Hook's crew and was taught pirating by Robert Mullins, to whom he is very loyal. He is slim, has dark skin and black hair that often conceals one eye. As being responsible for the cannons he is never far away from the big cannon, Long Tom. He cares to keep it clean ("The Hook and the Hat" or "Plucking of Short Tom") and sometimes also sleeps on it ("Treasure Hunt" or "Pirate Shadows"). Not once does he cooperate with Peter and his band where it can come out for him as being a liar and traitor ("The Great Race"), but sometimes he shows he really has a good heart and cares for the boys ("Hook, the Faithful Son" or "Billy Jukes, Lost Boy").
- Eucrates Cookson (voiced by Jack Angel in a Greek accent) - The ship's disgusting chef. He is fat and small and a miserable singer ("Hook's Mother's Picture" and "The Phantom Shaman"). His weapon of choice is his meat cleaver.
- Alf Mason (voiced by Tony Jay) — A member of Hook's crew who serves as a carpenter and a strongman. Although he fears Hook as much as the rest of the crew, if the pirates are doubtful about an order from the captain, he is usually the first to voice it. He wields a mallet.
- Short Tom - Captain Hook's mischievous one-eyed pet parrot. Is capable of speaking, but is limited to phrases obviously taught to him. Frequently tries to alert the pirates when he sees Peter Pan sneak aboard in episodes including "Hook's Mother's Picture", but because of his limited speech usually fails to get them to understand.
- Captain Patch (voiced by Ed Gilbert) - aka Jasper Hook is the older brother of James Hook, who once served as his midshipman. Hook took out Jasper's eye years ago when Jasper wouldn't give James a bigger share of their loot, and he wore a patch ever since, which is why he is known as Captain Patch. Presumably Patch died not long afterwards, and his chest of treasures somehow ended up hidden in a cave in Neverland with a curse. When Peter, John, and Slightly found the lost chest and removed an emerald, it ended up summoning Captain Patch's ghost who then summoned his ghost ship called the Rake in order to take revenge on his brother. Nothing that Captain Hook's crew shot at the Rake could sink it due to the fact that the Rake is a ghost ship. When Peter Pan, John, and Slightly tricked Hook into firing the treasure towards the Rake, it was enough to banish Captain Patch and the Rake back to the spirit world. Jasper later appeared in "Hook's Christmas" where the Ghost of Christmas Past shows Captain Hook his past when he used to work with his brother until the incident that led up to Jasper's loss of an eye. His spirit later appeared as the Ghost of Christmas Yet to Come. (It should be noted Patch and his ship appeared somewhat different in each of the two episodes.)
Other characters
- Crocodile - This was the same crocodile that had devoured Captain Hook's hand. A ticking clock is heard every time the crocodile is near. In the series, the clock is a magical clock that controls all the seasons in Neverland.
- Indians - A tribe of Indians that reside in Neverland and often help out Peter Pan and the Lost Boys. Actually, only three of them figure prominently in the series, the rest were seen only briefly in the episode "Pirate Boys, Lost Men").
- Great Big Little Panther (voiced by Michael Wise) - The Indian chief and father of Tiger Lily and Hard-To-Hit. He's very wise and often assists Peter and his friends when they have (some big) problems (as seen in the episodes "The Dream", "The Phantom Shaman", "Treasure Hunt", and "Pirate Boys, Lost Men").
- Tiger Lily (voiced by Cree Summer) - The daughter of Great Big Little Panther and sister of Hard-To-Hit. She and her brother sometimes tag along with and aid their friends Peter Pan, Tinker Bell, The Darling Siblings and The Lost Boys on their many adventures.
- Hard-to-Hit (voiced by Aaron Lohr) - Great Big Little Panther's son and Tiger Lily's younger brother. He is very active and knows the weapons of his tribe and how to use them (as seen in the episodes "The Phantom Shaman" and "The Dream").
- Mermaids - A group of young women, who are half human and half fish. They live in the sea and are most seen at the Mermaids' Lagoon or nearby. They're vain and care for their looks and good appearance ("Vanity, the name is Mermaid"). They enjoy playing, joking and having fun ("Nibs and the Mermaids") and collecting items from the land ("Tootles and the Dragon" or "Elementary, my dear Pan"). From all the humans who live above the water they only like Peter and no-one else ("Vanity, the name is Mermaid", "The Great Race", "Nibs and the Mermaids", "After the Laughter", "Elementary, my dear Pan" or "Pirate Boys, Lost Men").
- Crooked Tail (voiced by Linda Gary) - A mermaid. She was once beautiful, but conceited and haughty until a potion to enhance her beauty went horribly awry turning her into a green-skinned hag. In "Vanity, Thy Name is Mermaid," she helped Peter Pan rescue Wendy from two mermaids who tried to turn Wendy into a mermaid.
- Girl in the Moon (voiced by Kath Soucie) - A blond girl in a turquoise dress who is responsible for bringing the night by replacing the sun that appears during the day with the moon at the normal time.
- King Kyros (voiced by Jack Angel) - The Ice King of Neverland (who only appears in the episode "The Coldest Cut of All"). He owns a giant ice cave with lots of corridors and tunnels and has some elves as his subworkers. In fact he's not one of the bad guys. The conflict with him was started by Peter, who just entered the king's home without any permission and took away a crystal claiming it was his own.
- Jane - Wendy's daughter from the future. She appears in "The Lost Memories of Pirate Pan".
- Olook (voiced by Jack Angel) - A grumpy giant troll. He appears in "The Never Ark", "Slightly in Stone", "The Neverscroll", "A Day at the Fair" and "Count De Chauvin".
Differences
The following show the differences from the book or other Peter Pan versions:
- This series doesn't feature a beginning introducing the whole Darling family nor explain how Peter takes Wendy to Neverland. From the first episode they already live in the underground house, know Hook and the pirates and are friends with the Indians.
- In other versions, Peter always wears his dagger next to his waist at the belt, but in this version he has it attached to his right boot.
- In the book, Tinker Bell has her own "fairy language", which Peter understands. Likewise, she doesn't speak in most other versions (Disney's Peter Pan, Peter Pan (2003), Peter Pan Burbank or Peter Pan Live!) but makes tinkling or other sounds. In this version and some others (The Adventures of Peter Pan, Hook, Disney's Tinker Bell Movies or The New Adventures of Peter Pan) she can speak normally the human language.
- In the novel, Barrie describes Tink's figure as somewhat plump - "She was slightly inclined to embonpoint", but in this version (and most of the others) she is portrayed as slim.
- In Barrie's novel and other versions Captain Hook's hair is black, but here it is white. In the episode "After the Laughter" Hook's hair is shown as fair in his youth, not black.
- In most other versions Captain Hook becomes frightened, panicked and almost petrified when hearing the ticking of a clock ("Disney's Peter Pan", "Peter Pan Burbank" or "The Adventures of Peter Pan"), indicating that the crocodile is close. In this version his behavior is inconsistent. Hook often is ready to brodle, when he notes the presence of the crocodile.
- In the original book and some other versions, John wears a (black) stovepipe hat ("Disney's Peter Pan", "Peter Pan (2003)", "The Adventures of Peter Pan" or "Peter Pan Live!"). Here, he has a (brown) derby.
- The look of the figures is not much described by J.M. Barrie, but in most of the other versions Wendy is either blonde ("The Adventures of Peter Pan", "Peter Pan Burbank" or "Peter Pan Live!") or has at least lighter hair ("Disney's Peter Pan", "Peter Pan (2003)" or "Hook") and from the Darling siblings the lightest hair colour ("Peter Pan (2003)", "The Adventures of Peter Pan", "Peter Pan Burbank", "The New Adventures of Peter Pan" or "Peter Pan Live!") while frequently her brother John has the darkest hair colour ("Disney's Peter Pan", "Peter Pan (2003)", "Peter Pan Burbank" or "Peter Pan Live!"). In "Peter Pan and the Pirates" Wendy with black hair has the darkest and John being dark blonde has the lightest haircolour from the Darling siblings.
- As described in the novel and in some other versions, the Twins, two of the Lost Boys, are identical twins ("Disney's Peter Pan", "Peter Pan (2003)", "Peter Pan Burbank" or "Peter Pan Live!"), however in this version they look very different. One is short and Caucasian, the other is taller and clearly African. They are recognized as Twins by wearing similar caps and doing everything together.
- In the novel Barrie describes the clothes of the Lost Boys as being skins from bears they'd once executed. Here they wear normal clothes and from animals they have only caps of their heads, that are an important part of them. And only two of them, Nibs and Tootles, have caps from bears' heads, the rest of the boys have other animals.
- In other Peter Pan movies or series in Neverland only Peter is able to fly all the time, while the Darlings only do it for coming there ("Disney's Peter Pan", "Peter Pan (2003)", "The Adventures of Peter Pan", "Peter Pan Burbank" or "Peter Pan Live!") and everyone else can fly only when Tink gives them her fairy dust, effective only for a finite period of time (Disney's Return to Neverland or "The New Adventures of Peter Pan"). In "Peter Pan and the Pirates" not only Peter, but also his closest friends, the Darlings and the Lost Boys, can fly all the time.

Video game
A video game titled Peter Pan and the Pirates was released for the Nintendo Entertainment System by third party publisher THQ. The game was generally received poorly by critics.
In this single player side-scrolling action game, the player controlled Peter Pan, who could collect bags of fairy dust to fly and wielded a sword that boasted a short range. The player started out in the forest and was required to destroy all the pirates in each level to advance to the next, with the final goal of reaching the pirate ship and battling Captain Hook.
