Broadcasters in Asia, Europe and the Middle East have picked up a Costa Rican cartoon about a group of octopus friends, distributed by Ireland’s Monster Entertainment.

Outopus (52×2′) has been acquired by Disney in Japan, YLE in Finland, NRK in Norway and Junior TV in Germany, as well as pan-Arabic broadcaster Al Jazeera Children’s Channel (JCC).

The slapstick non-dialogue series, which is aimed at children aged 4-8, is produced by Rocket Cartoons in Costa Rica and revolves around five octopus friends that have grown bored of life in their fish tank and attempt to escape.
