About Octonauts:
Octonauts takes pre-school and early elementary age viewers deep into the world of oceanography for fast-paced, high-peril action-adventure that encourages scientific exploration and discovery. As children follow the exploits of The Octonauts, the dynamic eight-member team of quirky and courageous heroes, they develop a deeper appreciation for the natural world that lives undersea.
Equipped with a fleet of aquatic vehicles, the Octonauts rescue amazing sea creatures, discover amazing habitats and often save the day before returning safely to their home base, The Octopod. To ensure accuracy and watertight science, Octonauts consults closely with its own team of marine biologists and has recently partnered with NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) to increase the show’s educational credentials even further.
Based on the original books by Meomi, the series is produced by Silvergate Media and animated by Brown Bag Films. Licensing partners include master toy licensee Fisher-Price and NCircle for DVDs. Find Octonauts at www.octonauts.com or on Facebook at www.facebook.com/octonauts.
