Octonauts and the Caves of Sac Actun

Why didn't they take the Panama Canal? It still would've been a good adventure.

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".

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.

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).

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!
