The Octonauts is a Children's TV Series, produced by Chorion for Cbeebies and animated by Brown Bag Films. The TV
series was based on the children's books written by Vicki Wong and Michael Murphy of Meomi Design Inc.
The Octonauts follows an underwater exploring crew made up of stylized anthropomorphic animals, a team of eight
adventurers who live in an undersea base, the Octopod, from where they go on undersea adventures with the help of a
fleet of aquatic vehicles.
The subject matter is reminiscent of a blend of Star Trek and Jacques Cousteau. Although science fiction as regards
its technology, the exotic creatures and locations that the crew encounter are real marine animals in their natural
habitats.
