Embarking on one of his most daring and exciting adventures ever, Jake and his kid pirate pals, Izzy and Cubby, along with lookout parrot Skully, must use teamwork to find Peter’s shadow and return it to its rightful owner. However, their mission is nearly thwarted by the fiendish Captain Hook, and his bumbling first mate Mr. Smee. But bravery and justice win the day and Jake and his Never Land pirate crew once again reveal what it takes to become heroes, in Disney’s ‘Jake and the Never Land Pirates: Peter Pan Returns.’”

Congratulations to the cast and crew of the Disney Channel Original Series “Wizards of Waverly Place” – 9.8 viewers tuned in for the finale of the show. This number made the finale the series’ #1 telecast ever!

We’re so sad that the show is off the air, but the Disney Channel has promised that it will rerun on the channel!

Uh oh. First the Disney Channel upset Demi Lovato by making a joke about eating disorders on “Shake It Up,” and now the channel has angered Justin Bieber’s millions of fans by making a joke on the show “Jessie” about how a girl looked like Justin. Justin’s fans are really angry that the network would allow bullying in the script writing, and they think it was unnecessary to say Justin looks like a girl.

Are YOU mad at the Disney Channel for making fun of Justin?

The finale of the hit Disney Channel Original Series “Wizards of Waverly Place” aired last night, and it’s no surprise that Selena Gomez’s character Alex Russo was named the family wizard, meaning she got to keep her powers. What was surprising though was that Selena wasn’t the only character who got to remain a wizard. Her brother Justin Russo, played by David Henrie, also got to keep his powers by becoming headmaster at the WizTech school.

Sadly though, the third Russo sibling, Max Russo played by Jake T. Austin, had to give up his powers. Lucky for him though he became the new owner of the family’s sub shop.

What did you think of the finale of WOWP?

Debby Ryan posted a new video online of herself on the set of the upcoming Disney Channel Original Movie “Radio Rebel.” The movie will arrive on the Disney Channel this year and is based on the novel “Shrinking Violet.”

Did you know that the movie was originally titled “Shrinking Violet”? Which name do you like best – “Shrinking Violet” or “Radio Rebel”?

The Disney Channel Original Series “Wizards of Waverly Place” is about to go off the air, but not before fans of the show find out who the family wizard is! Only one of the Russo siblings can keep their powers, but which one will it be?

- Alex Russ (Selena Gomez)
- Justin Russo (David Henrie)
- Max Russo (Jake T. Austin)
