About Octonauts
Octonauts is one of CBeebies' most beloved animated children's television series, first airing in the UK on 4 October 2010. Based on the children's books by Meomi (Vicki Wong and Michael C. Murphy), the show follows an underwater exploring crew and has become a global franchise entertaining children for over a decade. The brand's licensed merchandise generates exceptional demand among parents of young children. Fisher Price holds the primary toy license, producing playsets, vehicles, and figurines featuring favourite characters like Captain Barnacles, Kwazii, and Peso. Popular products include the GUP submarine series (GUP-A Mission Vehicle, GUP-D Sub, GUP-X Shoot and Rescue Vehicle) and Kwazii's Shipwreck playset. Beyond toys, Octonauts licensing extends to themed attractions at Alton Towers' CBeebies Land, including a rollercoaster and themed hotel bedrooms. The franchise continues with Octonauts: Above & Beyond, available on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer. For parents shopping for Octonauts fans, UK supermarkets stock various licensed products from lunch boxes and clothing to party supplies and bath toys, making it easy to find affordable character merchandise.
