The Octonauts are a crew of eight adorable animals who explore the ocean in search of adventure and fun! From their undersea "Octopod" base, the eight talented critters (including Captain Barnacles, a valiant polar bear; Kwazii, a daredevil kitten, and Peso, a big-hearted penguin) are always ready to embark on new exciting missions.
Octonauts was produced for Chorion and premiered on CBeebies in October 2010 where it became an instant hit with pre-school audiences. In 2011 Octonauts received a BAFTA nomination for Best Animated Preschool Show, in October 2012 it was nominated for an International EMMY Award and in 2014 Octonauts was awarded an IFTA for Best Children's Programme.
