A fixture on Playhouse Disney (a host of morning TV programs aimed at preschoolers), Rolie Polie Olie is a hip, computer-animated show combining a '50s sitcom family with nifty robotic stuff kids will dig. With antennas, round faces, and a household of living appliances, the Olies are part of an Emmy-winning show containing some of the best elements of The Jetsons and Peewee's Playhouse. Three Yuletide tales make up this 24-minute video featuring the 6-year-old Rolie, his younger sis Zowie, and their parents. Grandpa's old ornament is accidentally broken in "Starry Starry Night." Rolie thinks if he and Zowie can stay up for Clanky Claus, he might be able to fix it. In "Snowie," the Olie's fake snowman comes to life for a fun adventure in the snow, and "'Twas the Night Before Christmas" gets more than a few unusual changes when Pa reads it in "Jingle Jangle Day's Eve." --Doug Thomas

This review is from: Rolie Polie Olie - Holiday Video 2000 - A Rolie Polie Christmas [VHS] (VHS Tape)

What a cute Christmas spoof with adorable short segments that are perfect for the attention span of pre-schoolers. Colorful story, appealing music, and charming robot characters appear in this magical and intriguing world. Fun, extended family interacts respectfully. Our kid viewers related to the young characters - whether they were just having fun, loving the snow, or sometimes having an accident. They commented: "I loved the snow story." "I love to think about things in the future. Maybe we'll all have robot families in our families." Great for 2 to 5-year-olds.

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Rolie Polie Olie - Holiday Video 2000 - A Rolie Polie Christmas [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This video may be short, but my twins absolutely love it! They can't take their eyes off the t.v. the entire time. It's just long enough for me to do a few chores around the house, but not so long that I feel they are watching t.v. for too long. I'm on line today to see if I can find another Rolie Polie video!
