- “Midnight Hill!That's only the spookiest place in Never Land! ”
- ―Cubby
Midnight Hill is a mountain located deep within Never Land featured in the Disney Junior animated series, Jake and the Never Land Pirates. Its a rock formation shaped like a howling wolf. It is where the Moon Gem resides. It is said that Midnight Hill is one of the most spookiest locations on the island.
Role in the series[]
Midnight Hill first appeared in the episode "Jake the Wolf". While camping on Never Land one evening, Jake stumbles upon the legendary Moon Gem while gathering firewood. Unknown to Jake at the time, if someone touches the gem, they will turn into a wolf beast while exposed to a full moon, much to the surprise of his crew. Izzy knew of the tale of the power of the gem and warns Jake that they must head to the top of Midnight Hill before sunrise, or Jake will remain a wolf beast forever. But as Jake and his crew journey to Midnight Hill, Captain Hook and his crew, who where on their way back from a failed treasure hunt, overhear Jake and his crew talking about the curse of the Moon Gem. Hook could not care less about the power of the gem or Jake remaining a wolf forever, for all he desires is the gem for himself. Once Jake and his crew reach Midnight Hill, they mistake the wolf rock formation for a real wolf, allowing Captain Hook to swipe the Moon Gem with his fishing rod hook. Jake's crew plead with Hook to return the gem to the hill or Jake will remain a wolf forever. Hook scoffs at the young pirates' plea, for as long as he had the gem he could not care less, until he touches the Moon Gem with his hand, turning himself into a wolf beast as well. Hook soon sulks, but Jake informs him there is still hope, but he must return the gem to the top of Midnight Hill. Quickly using her pixie dust, Izzy grants Hook flight, but Hook drops the gem halfway up, but Jake soon climbs up after the gem. Once he reaches the top, he was shocked to see the wolf on top of the hill was made of stone. Jake soon recalled the message on the Moon Gem to place the gem into the eye socket of the wolf rock formation, turning Jake and Hook back to normal.
Midnight Hill reappears in the episode "Night of the Stonewolf". Captain Hook and his crew return to Midnight Hill to steal the Moon Gem once more, using his scheme to force Jake and his crew to locate a hidden treasure within Stonewolf Valley that only werewolves can find. Unknown to Hook and his crew at the time, his actions cause the Stonewolf of Midnight Hill to spring to life to pursue the Moon Gem.
