#ROLLY POLLY OLLY HALLOWEEN SERIES#
All-CGI Cartoon: Though not the very first (that title belongs to Reboot, another Canadian show), it was still one of the very first animated TV series created with the then-revolutionary medium of 3D computer animation.Olie remembers the "555" half while Billy must remember the "01". 555: In one episode, the kids have to remember the number to call Space Boy, which happens to be 555-01.William Joyce is working on new episodes of the series, but it's currently unknown if it'll be a revival or a continuation of the original series. It is currently unknown if that was thanks to a deal with Nelvana or Disney still having the U.S.-broadcasting rights. However, most seasons of the show were eventually added to Disney+ for U.S. The entire series can be viewed on YouTube (outside the U.S.) here, courtesy of Nelvana's Treehouse Direct. This series is notable for being one of the very first TV cartoons to be made entirely in computer-generated imagery.

Together with his cubical friend Billy Bevel, whose family is from the nearby Planet Cubey, Olie learns, through fun and imagination, the values of friendship, family and what it means to be a great kid. Olie Polie is a little robot boy who lives with his mother, father, grandfather (or "pappy", as he calls him), little sister Zowie and their dog Spot on Planet Polie, an Art Deco-inspired world populated entirely by robots and sentient objects. It ran on CBC and later re-aired on Treehouse in its home country, while in the United States, it aired on Disney Channel's preschool block Playhouse Disney. It ran from 1998 to 2004 for a total 78 episodes, as well as two direct-to-video movies. William Joyce's Rolie Polie Olie is a computer-animated Canadian Preschool Show created by illustrator William Joyce (who also helped out with the show's production) and produced and distributed by animation studio Nelvana.
