What's the Story?
ANDY'S AQUATIC ADVENTURES is a British live-action children's series starring award-winning children's TV host Andy Day going on water adventures around the world to learn more about the amazing creatures that live there. Andy is busy working at (the fictitious) Safari World with computer-savvy Jen (Puja Panchkoty) and their boss, Mr. Hammond (Adam Astill). But when he's called upon to check up on animals who live in or near the water, he takes the Safari Mobile or the Safari Sub to reach them. He then uses his Gizmo to find ways to take a closer look. Sometimes Andy even goes diving to see what they're up to. Every trip is an adventure and teaches us something new.
Is It Any Good?
This lively addition to the British franchise delivers lots of details about aquatic animals in kid-friendly ways. Andy is his usual fun, lively self, and his antics, combined with impressive wildlife video footage and CGI, create colorful learning experiences. The explanations are also simple and easy to grasp.
Adding to the fray is the range of creatures Andy's Aquatic Adventures looks at. Episodes teach about birds like wood ducks and chinstrap penguins, amphibians like caimans and mudskippers, mammals like weddell seals, and even venomous sea kraits. Children who enjoy learning about animals will be drawn to this series, but chances are anyone who tunes in will come away feeling like they've learned something new.
