![]() As the parent of a 4-year-old who has been into Octonauts for over a year, I can already see that the infodumps on Above and Beyond are slightly less abstract than the episodes from the existing show. For example, your kid learning random facts about cone snails and jellyfish is one thing, but having them recite the science of high-pressure systems that form hurricanes is something else. However, there are a few new characters, specifically Paani, a Macaque Monkey, and Min, a Red Panda.īecause so many of the adventures take place on land, the Earth science in Above and Beyond is slightly less arcane than regular Octonauts. Some of these characters like Ranger Marsh (Tweak Bunny’s father) or Pearl (Shellington Otter’s sister) appeared in previous episodes of Octonauts. Several new land-dwelling “Octo-agents” join the crew for these adventures.This song is sadly less catchy than the “Creature Report,” but it’s just as educational. The “Creature Report” has been replaced by “The Octo Report,” which has become a song about whatever natural event or animal that features in the given episode.That said, the format is slightly different in a few ways. Although it’s listed separately on Netflix, for kids who are already a fan of Octonauts, this will just feel like a bunch of new episodes. In every meaningful way, Octoanuts: Above and Beyond is just a new season of Octonauts in which the crew is starting to deal with more animal crises on land, rather than just things connected to the water. ![]() How Octonauts: Above and Beyond is different from Octonauts “Creature Report,” is an earworm to be sure, but it’s a charming one and super-education, too. ![]() In the US versions of the regular series, most episodes end with the Octonauts singing a song called the “Creature Report,” which recaps the various real-life science facts about whichever sea animal featured prominently on that specific episode. Although the animation style takes liberties with the sizes and behaviors of these creatures (how is a polar bear the same size as a dog?) all the animals featured on Octoanuts are real. Protect.” This means that the original series mostly focuses on the Octonauts rescuing or discovering various sea creatures. ![]() Murphy, who are collectively known as “Meomi.” The stories follow a group of anthropomorphized animals belonging to an altruistic team called “the Octonauts.” They drive around the oceans of the world in an underwater mobile station called the Octopod, from which they launch small submarines called “Gups.” The mission of the Octoanuts is to “Explore. and was originally based upon a series of books by Vicki Wong and Michael C. If you’re unfamiliar with Octonauts, here’s the quick rundown. By bringing the titular crew out of the ocean, suddenly the show is teaching kids about science concepts and animals that they may encounter in everyday life. This has always been true, but with a new spin-off show - Octonauts: Above and Beyond - the science education has gotten broader and better. There’s nothing wrong with social-emotional shows for kids, of course, but the Octoanuts are unique in that the lessons they teach are less about feelings and more about science. These adventurous talking animals face conflicts, sure, but they’re not losing their minds having tantrums about broken toys or smashed birthday cake. In a vast sea of shows like Daniel Tiger or CocoMelon or the dreaded Crybabies, the aim of Octonauts is not to teach social-emotional lessons. He also seems to have semicircle eyes.The greatest thing about the children’s series Octonauts is that unlike so many other shows for toddlers and preschoolers, all the regular characters are emotionally stable. On the top, there are two "eyes" that can light up so that the Vampire Squid can see in the extremely dark waters and two fins that look like ears. They have a cape-like covering connecting its tentacles, which hides a lot of spikes underneath. Vampire Squids are a reddish colored with dark red spots. In the episode, he spoke in a Transylvanian accent Despite its name, it consumes detritus (in the form of marine snow) In real life, they grow to about a foot long and have lidless eyes, which makes them look scary. Unlike other squids, his head is sort of round at the top, which makes it look better than if the top was like Irving, or the Colossal Squid, or anything else. It lives in the deep waters of the Midnight Zone, the darkest part of the ocean. The Vampire Squid is a squid that has a vampire-like spiked cape (shown if it is scared.) If it is too scared, it squirts out green slime. Uses lights on its head, uses its cape of spikes, or squirts slime
