Octonauts: Above & Beyond

It gets a six for the positive message and the animation, but -1 star for every voice that changed.

Peso now sound like an old chain smoker.

Dashy is no longer australian and sound like a bored american housewife.

TUNIP WTH? WHY CHANGE THAT VOICE??

The last -1 star goes out to the horrific creature report song at the end of each episode.

When my 4 year old leaves as soon as the singing comes on you know you have failed.

Trust Netflix to ruin a great thing.

Bring back the original voices for the next season.

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!

-The review from jin 2024.

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.

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!)

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.
