Octocat Adventure



""NO! I DO HAVE PARENTS! I DO I DO I DO I DOOOOO!!!!!.""

- Octocat in Octocat Adventure 3.

A red octopus-cat seeks out his missing parents, venturing to strange places and meeting strange creatures. While having a nice cup of tea and relaxing.

Octocat Adventure is a 5-part animated series purportedly created by 9-year old Randy Peters and uploaded to Youtube between March and September 2008. So Bad Its Good in nearly all regards, the shorts were crudely illustrated using MS Paint, poorly orchestrated, and seemingly voiced ad-lib by a high-pitched Peters.

Until the middle of the climatic final episode, that is.

After the release of the final part of Octocat Adventure, the shorts were revealed to be created by professional animator David O'Reilly under the guise of Randy Peters as a measure of how well an animation's storyline is received regardless of how poorly executed the rest of the animation is. If the responses to the shorts are any indication, O'Reilly may very well have proven his point.

 * Crowning Moment of Awesome: When part 5, you know shit has gone real.
 * Dark Is Evil: The "blac ballon" Octocat.
 * Deranged Animation: Given the bizarre situations Octocat finds himself in every episode.
 * One noteworthy example. In part 3, Octocat stumbles across a giant worm-eel thing that flat out tells Octocat that he has no parents. In denial, Octocat responds by literally bashing the poor thing's head into a pulp with a planet he conveniently plucks out of the sky.
 * Parental Abandonment: Octocat's motivation to find his parents.
 * Random Events Plot: Plot events in parts 1 to 4 have little to no connection to each other whatsoever. One moment Octocat flees in panic from a tree-in-a-box, and in the next scene he casually has himself a cup of tea.
 * : With interesting results. Rather than lambasting the shorts, viewers would sarcastically praise them for their "artistic" value and conjure up deep interpretations of its plot,.
 * Stylistic Suck: Oh boy.
 * Thinking Out Loud: Until the halfway point of part 5, this happens a lot.
