More Detail:

The first three episodes of the animated DR. SEUSS’S RED FISH, BLUE FISH streaming on Netflix teaches young kids lessons about opposites through the wacky exploits of Red Fish and Blue Fish. From a chaotic stint as pet groomers, to a tea party with an unexpected guest, the fish learn about things like “clean vs. dirty,” “loose vs. tight,” and “dangerous vs. safe.”

In Episode 1, Red Fish and Blue Fish are babysitting their friend’s baby and learn about “quiet vs. loud.” The baby is asleep, and the two fish are determined to keep it that way. However, visits from a vocal teacher and a marching band throw a wrench into those plans.

Their next adventures in this episode include the fishes’ attempts to successfully clean a friend’s pet bird (“clean vs. dirty”), a cross-town race to recover a forgotten teddy bear from a cab (“go vs. stop”), and a chaotic night on the farm, thanks to one chicken who refuses to go to bed (“lock vs. unlock”).

In Episode 2, Red Fish and Blue Fish are ready to celebrate Halloween but can’t trick or treat without costumes. Their attempts at putting some together keep falling apart, and the pair learn a lesson about “loose vs. tight.”

When the friends jump into a neighbor’s leaf pile and scatter them everywhere, Red Fish and Blue Fish offer to clean up the mess they made, with some typically silly obstacles keeping them from completing the job (“gather vs. scatter”). Red Fish and Blue Fish also learn the difference between “catch vs. let go” while on a butterfly-hunting mission, and “relax vs. stressed” after Blue Fish has an anxiety-filled trip to town.

Episode 3 sees Red Fish and Blue Fish hosting a tea party that falls apart when a scary shark shows up uninvited (“dangerous vs. safe”). However, things aren’t always what they seem, and the fish might even end up making a new friend. Next in Episode 3, the pair learns about “inside vs. outside” after a mouse sneaks into their house during a movie night, and “first vs. last” when Red Fish and Blue Fish take part in a car race with some heated competition.
