''The Octonauts'' is a British children's television series, produced by Silvergate Media for the BBC channel Cbeebies. The series is animated in Ireland by Brown Bag Films but uses British voice actors. The TV series is based on American-Canadian children's books written by Vicki Wong and Michael C. 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 ''Star Trek'' and ''Thunderbirds''〔(interview with executive producer Kurt Mueller ) BBC Press Office〕 blended with Jacques Cousteau. Although it is science fiction as regards its technology, the exotic creatures and locations that the crew encounter are real marine animals in their natural habitats. ==Books== The original books were first published in the USA by Immedium in 2006, and were republished in the UK by Harper Collins in 2009. Six titles by Meomi have been published: *''The Octonauts & the Only Lonely Monster'', about an Architeuthis (Giant Squid). *''The Octonauts & the Sea of Shade'', about a world where everyone's shadows have gone missing. *''The Octonauts & the Frown Fish'', about a glum-looking catfish. *''The Octonauts & the Great Ghost Reef'', about a dying coral reef. *''The Octonauts Explore the Great Big Ocean'', about the search for Tunip the Vegimal's home. *''The Octonauts & the Growing Goldfish'', about Dunkie, a giant goldfish who won't stop growing. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Octonauts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
