== Characters ==
=== The Jackson Five ===
Michael Jackson - Michael is the main singer and youngest member of the group at 8 years of age. He loves to sing and be the “handsome hero who saves the day”. His passion for being famous has grown through the past years, by being the one picked out of all the brothers by all the girls. Michael is the most naive and childish and often the one who gets the group into trouble. He likes animals, and has three pets, two mice named Ray and Charles (named after the singer Ray Charles) and a snake called Rosie. He has also been shown to be fascinated with western cultures.
Jackie Jackson (voiced by Phil LaMarr) - Jackie is the oldest member at 18 years of age and self-proclaimed leader of the group. He is the part-big brother part-father figure. He is also shown to enjoy basketball.
Tito Jackson (voiced by Chad L. Coleman) - Tito is the 17-year-old guitarist of the group. He is an expert in mechanics and the driver of the Jackson Five’s car.
Jermaine Jackson (voiced by Earl Alexander) - Jermaine is the 15-year-old bass player of the group. He is an excellent cook and can be lazy at times by having a quiet snooze, sometimes snoring loudly.
Marlon Jackson - Marlon Jackson is the second youngest (to Michael) of the group at 10 years of age. Despite being a worrywart, he is very intelligent and can confidently sing. When he sings, it goes in harmony with the other Jackson brothers. He also is a bit shy, and ejects an offer politely and respectfully.
