A newly re-discovered classic, The Underseas Explorers is an animated educational cartoon that was first shown in 1961. A true collectors item, it has been proclaimed to be "ahead of its time."

During their televised journey, they discover the original landing site of old pirates. Professor Scott meets undersea creatures including an unexpected underwater duel with an eight-legged octopus.
