Elias: The Little Rescue Boat

This show is extremely well done, the CGI beats Tarkin from Rogue One easily. The story beats The Shawshank Redemption by miles... And finally, the cinematography beats blade runner 2049 with like one punch. I'm so glad I watched this, it has changed my life for the better. SEE IT!

This animated series is fantastic. My 2 year old absolutely loves it. It is like an aquatic version of Thomas the Tank Engine, except with talking and singing boats. The ten minute segments (like Thomas the Tank Engine and Bob the Builder episodes) are a perfect length and the tunes suitably repetitive for young children. The characters are all very engaging, the plot lines interesting and the visual effects are just great. It is available in several languages, but unfortunately none of them are English. Although this doesn't diminish my young child's enthusiasm for Elias and his friends, it does make my life difficult when he asks me what they are saying! I strongly recommend the series, and hope its producers recognise its international appeal soon and make a version available in English!
