O Mundo Redondo de Olie

My daughter loves this show. She started watching it at 10 months. Even though at that age she was too young to understand all of it, the shapes and colors made her smile and laugh. Now she is four and still enjoys the Polies.

Although I don't watch every episode with her. Most episodes contain good lessons on sharing and being nice to others. I can not understand how anyone would not like this show.

Now that my 4 year old has a little sister, she can relate to how Olie and Billy treat their younger siblings. This is a great show. I wish they had all these great shows when I was growing up.

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!

There is a particular(Canadian?) gentle charm about this series that sets it above the seemingly endless dross. It promotes wholesome family values including unusually not just mom and pop but uncles, aunts and siblings. Today's episode has Zowie, the youngest member, taught the need for the words Please, Thank You and Excuse me. The clear intention is to teach those things necessary for all members of a happy family: consideration for others and tolerance but it shows that adults as well as children must follow these rules.

It is evident that the makers have put far more into it than they perhaps need have done. The most brilliantly realised character is the dog "Spot" - a non-speaking part, everything is done with body language. It's such cleverly observed dog behaviour. In one second a scolded Spot can go from excitement to rejection, to reproach, to dejection - all absolutely unmistakeably indicated by every part. It is so well observed you can see aspects of dog behaviour not noticed before.

The sofas and fridges with bulging eyes and wide mouths are a recognisable borrowing - presumably a respectful homage - from pioneer Max Fleischer's cartoons of the 1930's. There they were a little weird - here they're part of the story - fridges have feelings too!

My son is 2 years old, and this is his favorite show. I know that when I sit him down in his chair to watch this, he will not move and I can get chores done during this half hour. He wakes up asking for Olie, Olie! I almost wish it was on all day!

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.
