Olie Olie Olie
My soon to be 3 year old loves Rolie Polie Olie since the first time he the show on Playhouse Disney. The picture quality of the movie was great but the frames were too choppy and it gives your eyes a workout just to watch. The evil gloomius didn't scare my son too much but he was wondering who he was because this character was not introduced before. When he mentions him it is always who is the green scary guy? Overall, I think this movie was ok.

My 2 1/2-yr-old loves it...isn't that enough?!?
I find this DVD to be "cute", but not in the sickening way that Barney or the freakin' Teletubbies are cute. I was not surprised to learn that the Rolie Polie Olie series was made in Canada...things seem to be neater and cleaner north of the border (see 'Canadian Bacon' if you don't know what I mean). for some reason the 'Leave It To Beaver' lifestyle still thrives up in the Great White North.

But the bottom line here folks is my 2 1/2-yr-old loves this DVD, and you can't trust an adult critic to understand what this movie is all about. I am amazed at the accent James Woods puts on for Gloomy, I thought it was Bob Hoskins! The characters are cute, the plot interesting enough to hold a young child's imagination and attention, and overall I think (and my youngest son seems to agree) that this is a great kids movie. It just proves that you don't need to be sugary-sweet or overcompensate with glitzy special effects to win kids over. A well thought out plot, a positive attitude, and some bright colors will do the trick. Ranks up there with 'Veggie Tales' for family entertainment

I have an addicted toddler!
We bought this DVD in desperation while on a LONG road trip for our 20 month old. We hooked up the laptop and played the DVD for her while on the road and it was a LIFESAVER!! We bought 4 different movies and she wanted THIS one played over and over. It really is a cute movie and I love the Olie family.

I love that the characters always remain positive and "can-do", there isn't any violence (the worst is when Gloomious takes a toy from a child), and it's all about having fun.

Now that we are home, I am limiting her to watching it once a day, but TRUST me...she could watch it completely mesmerized over and over and over....

I am now on the hunt for more Olie movies!
