1.0 out of 5 stars Evil in Rolie Polie Olie, August 14, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Rolie Polie Olie - The Great Defender of Fun (DVD)

Sensitive young children will be scared by this movie. They have introduced an evil character that wants to destroy the world and almost does. It is disappointing that Rolie Polie Olie is not a safe haven for kids. I have watched the TV show with the kids many times and don't recall the sinister plots like those in the movie.

The DVD was produced well. Too bad about the movie.
The best part is the Stanley cartoon extra feature.

5.0 out of 5 stars Olie to the Rescue !!!!, August 18, 2002

My kids and i love to watch Playhouse Disney in the morning
were Rolie Polie is pretty much are morning entertainment. I
was happy to see Rolie Polie put to a full feature presentation.
I'm glad to see it was a hit with my kids, they've watched it at
least four times already. I was at first a little worried It
would take a detour from the family qualities of the morning show, but it did'nt in my opinion. At times Gloomius could seem
frightening but it was done in a light hearted way. When happy
bubbles come from a gun to make you feel good inside is alright
with me...! Good Show

4.0 out of 5 stars Great fun, August 25, 2002

This review is from: Rolie Polie Olie - The Great Defender of Fun [VHS] (VHS Tape)

My 3.5 yr old daughter, who has loved Rolie Polie Olie forever, and who owns all the videos, loved the movie. It didn't scare her at all. I thought that Spookie Ookie was a more frightening character than Gloomius Maximus, but neither ever bothered her. This from child who won't watch Toy Story 2 because she's afraid of Zurg.

The quality of the graphics looks different, almost like they filmed it instead of using video - if that can make sense. It's not as crisp, but it's just fine for a toddler (remember, it's not made for us digital freaks!) :-)

I read comments regarding the style of the writing/story line. Nothing like that was readily apparent to me, just as it wasn't to my daughter (at least she didn't make any such observation - that'd really be something! and she can read some - so she's no dummy). :-)

I say that, if your child is a Rolie Polie Olie fan, they'll like the movie. You may not want to invest in a DVD since the quality isn't really as good as typical digital video, but you could also just keep that in mind.

Enjoy! :-)
