Octonauts and the Caves of Sac Actun

My daughter and I LOVE the movie. It's just as fun as the show. Watched it 3 times the first day it came out. Only complaint is that Panama Canal wasn't mentioned as a way to get to the Caribbean. I guess there wouldn't have been a movie if that was used and we wouldn't have learned about the senote. It's a kids cartoon after all!

Octonauts is one of my daughter's favorites. It is fun, mildly educational, but at times you want to cringe. Early on, the Octopod is on the wrong side of Mexico from the Caribbean. They state that they would have to go all the way around South America to get to their destination. Apparently the Panama Canal does not exist in their world. It is either that or Captain Barnacles is too cheap to spring for a one way ticket through the canal? This whole movie seems like a vehicle for Dashi.

Wonderful series for kids with characters from different countries all working together, accents included. This episode contains two iguana lizards voiced in a Cheech Marin accent warning the Octonauts that "not everyone who goes into the cenote comes out of the cenote".

My two year old is a die-hard Octonauts fan. She thoroughly enjoyed the movie, and loved the addition of the spulunking koala. I appreciated that they showed it's ok to be scared, but you have to find courage to overcome your fears (thanks Barnacles).

Vibrant colors. I found the story was dragging a bit. Then again, the public intended for the show ( my 3.5yo) son loved it. I like how each character was able to show a different aspect of their personalities. It was nice to have the adventure take place is a cenote/ cave exploring setting
