Octonauts: Above & Beyond

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.

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.

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.
