Rolie Polie Olie

Genre: CGI QUITE babyish TV series about robots. Very cute and sweet.

My thoughts: A family favourite TV series, I love this above every other TV series (even David Attenborogh ones) for its cuteness, its cleverness, its humour, its music and its weird but lovely CGI! The fact that all the furniture, the flowers and other things are alive and have faces, it makes this show all the more entertaining and weird. The rest of my family love this too, especially my mum, I think it's her favourite children's TV series! :O I think people who didn't like this are missing something and just focus a little too much on the not-so-good points of things. This should also be shown on more channels, such as Cbeebies, it's WAY too unknown!! :Z

I like watching episodes really often, especially like the ones with Billy, Pappy and Polly (who are side characters who don't appear in ALL the episodes). They are very cute and very clever! :-)

Recommended to: People who like friendly but strange looking CGI, people who like robots and babyish but funny and cute programs. Enjoy! :-)

What happens: In each episode, in some way, Olie, a robot, has an adventure, either on his own, with his little sister Zoe, with his dog Spot, with his friend Billy, or in some other way

My Daughter will be 2 this January, and among several other Playhouse Disney shows, she loves Olie. She wakes in the morning/afternoon, asking for "olie,olie"...My wife and I have many shows taped, we own the video's, toys, clothes...we have much Olie. I must say, it is a rather good show for children her age, younger and even some older kids. She picked up on Olie when she was maybe 9 months old. And my wife and I have been "victims" (used only as comedic relief), to the hypnotic computer animated show.

Well, come on, parents do anything for their children.

10 out of 10

This show is actually quite enjoyable. When it first came out this type of animation wasn't big, so many people were impressed. My siblings enjoyed (and still enjoy) sitting in front of the television and sing along to his theme song. Granted it has a few flaws, like the younger sister, Zoe, who degrades all children in her age range because of her vocabulary and gets annoying after awhile. I'm 17 and the thing that amuses me most is the uncle who is supposed to be Elvis. It's amusing. They're all robots and the writers are able to build stories that relate to kids but are exaggerated to a point where it's actually amusing.

Right, bear in mind it is aimed at kids, that's why everything is so simple. But the thing is at 18, I like this simplicity. I liked the concept, and very often this show is cute and addictive. The CGI animation is simple, but it is colourful, well done on the whole and effective. The theme song mayn't be to everybody's tastes, but it is nice and memorable for kids to sing along to. The story lines and writing are indeed the epitome of simplicity, and for the better I think; you don't want your children to go "huh, what did he/she say?" which they probably would do if the language was complicated. And the stories did often have some valuable life lessons, when it comes to a kid-oriented show, that is a major plus in my book. The characters aren't bad either, not the most relateable, but they are at least likable and cute, and the voice acting wasn't too bad actually. Overall, very good for kids, adults may not be as impressed, but if the child in question is smiling and laughing you know that's a good sign! 8/10 Bethany Cox

Rolie Polie Olie is such a sweet show.

I love this show, and the kid I babysit loves it, too.

It may be a bit too simple for adults, but that's the point. It's for kids, not adults.

The 3D Animation is really well done and the content is wholesome. What more can you ask from a kid's show?

I recommend it to all parents who want a good show for their kids to watch. Plus, it doesn't sell you a toy, as far as I know so far. There is many shows attached to selling something.

Have fun watching with yours or any kid/s!
