Actuakers One of my all time favorites.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Sabrina Gardiner As a little girl, Rolie Polie Olie was one of my favourite morning cartoons. Me and my littler sister would watch it on Channel 5 (UK) every morning before we set off for school, and we always loved to rock out to the bouncy theme tune every time it came on.Olie and his family of roundheads (literally) live in a land of oddly-shaped objects and characters. Every day, he sets out to explore the circular world with his littler sister Zowie (pronounced 'Zoe', not pronounced to rhyme with 'Howie') and his loyal pet dog Spot (there's a rather yucky but funny reason why he was named that, although I won't spoil it for those who haven't seen the show.) His friend is named Billy, who is a blockhead (also literally) and has a pet cat made of squares.The show definitely seems to have that 1950s/60s vibe to it, as made evident by the furniture and background music. Maybe that's why we loved it so much as kids - it was a little like the Jetsons, but upgraded to CGI animation technology and made a little bit simpler for its target audience of young children.The episode that stick out in my memory the most had to be the one where Zowie accidentally flushed some toys down the toilet and ended up flooding the whole house. Now that's what I call unforgettable.Rolie Polie Olie is a great cartoon for smaller kids (between 5 to 7 years old), as it was for me when I was tinier and a little more innocent.
yorskinmma 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.
Frockgirl My nephew likes to watch the Disney Channel when he is over at my place and for some unknown reason he really likes this show. I don't mind most kids shows (I put up with Masters of the Universe when my brother was little), but this is really bad. It is basically a stupid show and I wish it would stop.
BHorrorWriter 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
