Dive into the kaleidoscopic depths of Octopus!, a two-part docuseries where science swirls with storytelling and the enigmatic Giant Pacific Octopus takes center stage. Narrated with Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s sly charm, the series blends live-action moments—featuring Tracy Morgan and octopus obsessives—with handcrafted animation that steals the show. Enter Doris: Mighty Oak’s fabric-swathed, ball-and-socket muse, who squishes and slinks through a lifecycle rendered in stop-motion wonder. Built from scraps and stitched with precision, she’s part creature, part character, entirely captivating. Directors Michaela Olsen, Hayley Morris, and Niharika choreograph a tactile spectacle where data glows, titles wink, and repurposed materials become miniature marine worlds. It’s weird, warm, and wildly aesthetic—proof that even marine biology can move with style.
