Sinopse

After several events from the classic animated series Octonauts, Shellington (voiced by Cillian Murphy in Ireland and Keith Wickham in the United Kingdom) is residing in a new laboratory in the Pacific Ocean, but has never experienced such great adventures and encountered so many scientific discoveries that need to be explored. in and out of the water. For him, the Earth seems to be an immense laboratory, where he discovers new scientific methods and finds answers to some routine questions that children ask, such as "Why should humans always wash their hands?", "How do clouds form? ", "Is there a magical being somewhere in the world?", "How does photosynthesis work?" and "Why did day turn to night?" Whether in the laboratory garden, in underwater caves, or even in the city, — as long as it is out of water — in each episode, Shellington practices science four times a week, formulating hypotheses and carrying out new experiments, thus finding the correct answers for your questions. But as a courageous, sometimes plant-distracted and creative scientist, his intelligence is not just a matter of new knowledge and teachings, Shellington is always using his own imagination to discover the various questions he has and is always meeting new imaginary friends (voiced by Matthew Goode) that he encounters during scientific processes.
