Die Oktonauten auf dem Festland

It was such an epic closing song I'm legitimately sad they got rid of it. The new song sucks. Nobody asked for a Dashi and Inkling song. I get adding new characters but why is Dashi a main character now? My 2 year old didn't say it but I could tell he was disappointed in the changes and so am I?

I think Netflix missed what was great about this show. I like the idea of them being on land and I don't mind the new characters but why are they phasing out the old characters? You hardly see Captain Barnacles or Quazi and why is Dashi the main character in the show all of a sudden? It is hardly about animals either. Which brings up my next point of why on earth they would get rid of creature report! I'm all for more Octonauts but they need to bring back the characters and songs we love. (Much less Dashi!)

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.

Helping land creatures is a fun change. My kids love the land gups. They should have stuck with the creature report song at the end. The new song is fine, but the original song was such an integral part of the show and much catchier. The episodes feel very Dashi-centric too.

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.
