Octonauts: Above & Beyond

Our favorite series is back! Love it, wish there was more of captain barnacles and less dashi but otherwise were so excited.

The old music was half the charm of the original show. This closing song is lifeless and monotone- such a shame! I get why they made the change and my kids still seem to enjoy the show itself, but the closing theme song really feels like a WWII era communist chant.

When I first heard of this show, I thought, "A sequel to the original Octonauts series? Now why hadn't anyone thought of that?" I like the original series even though there are times where it's dumbed down to not scare children. This is very different from the original Octonauts because instead of just investigating creatures underwater, they investigate land creatures, too. There are new helpers on their team, and Paani is such a great character. He does seemingly crazy things because he likes to help creatures, and he means well when he does so. This isn't too much like the original Octonauts, but it's just as good.

My daughter is just as obsessed with this new series as much as the old show and movies. New characters are a fun addition. Especially more Calico Jack. Only complaint, why get rid of the old music and creature report? Especially creature report. What are we going to dance to now?! New songs just aren't as memorable.

I have whached octonauts above and beyond and i would honestly

say it was ok but at also defeats the purpose of exploring seas helping sea animals and also being fun and entertaning, while

above and beyond still keeps the purpose of being fun and entertaning, the original octonauts is way better than the sequel above and beyond i just think that the new one just does not feel

as entertaning and as fun as it used to be like why not continue the original octonauts rather than creating a new one?

But all in all this is a great sequel from the original octonauts it intruduced sone new characters and still fun for adults and kids to enjoy!
