Summary: pretty good
Review: My son has loved Olie since he was six months old. The cartoon is a very new, retro approach to entertainment with vivid bright colors. Rolie Polie Olie and his family and friends are cute and funny and together they bring great messages to life. Usually the Olie cartoons are about five to ten minutes long, so this one is a big suprise. It is a full lenght feature...It's about Olie and his friend Billy and how they become Great Defenders of Fun to save sister Zowie's birthday! It is a little long. It's a little repetative. It's still very cute and fun, just a little long for the little kids.

Summary: Olie Olie Olie
Review: 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.

Summary: Rollie Pollie Ollie Great Fun
Review: My two daughters ( age 5 and 1) loved this movie. But for adults it does kind of seem to drag on forever. Thus the 4 instead of 5 star rating.

Summary: Painfully frenetic
Review: My two-and-a-half year old loves Rolie Polie Olie, and I have to admit that I enjoy the show too. Unfortunately this DVD is so hyper that it is painful to watch, and even my son seems not to like it that much. We both enjoy the action on the TV episodes, but Great Defender of Fun does not have one single second that is not completely filled with a hundred different things tearing around the screen as fast as they could possibly make them. Moreover, the bits where Pappy's "happy gear" repeatedly breaks look like someone having a massive heart attack. To sit through this for an hour plus is headache-inducing torture.

Summary: the whole family agrees
Review: our whole family (daughter 12, son 2) thoroughly enjoyed "the great defender of fun". we're long time olie fans - the characters and animation style have always been favorites - and the movie didn't let us down one bit. (we thought we recognized several names from the tv show.) james woods was great. thanks to all involved.

Summary: Evil in Rolie Polie Olie
Review: 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.

Summary: Sweet little show has gone Hollywood
Review: This first feature-length Olie video will obviously please children who are fans of this show; it's reminiscent in its plotting of the old Rankin/Bass Christmas specials, with a bad guy who sings to explain the roots of his badness and really just needs cheering up. (Instead of Paul Frees, he's voiced by no less than James Woods.) Adults may feel slightly disconcerted that the very qualities that make the show so suitable for toddlers-- the simple 3-D graphics (more geometric yet no less versatile than Toy Story), the child-sized cast of characters (the Polies live in a world of about 10 people, just like a child does), and the low-key, kid-manageable stories and conflicts-- have been blown up to Hollywood size in a story that's busier, noisier and just generally more dramatic than the TV series. Rolie Polie Olie has often been a refuge for my family from that kind of kid video. And then there's the truly bizarre fact (as several people have noted) that the studio dropped the animation's frame rate from a video 30 frames per second (like the TV series) to a film-like 24 fps-- a common enough trick for digital video independent films to make them look more like film, but something that will presumably be lost on most three year olds! Unfortunately, it means that this video doesn't quite have the seamless look of the TV series itself. If you're (the parent of) an Olie fan, you will surely add this to your video collection, but if you don't know the show, you're probably better off checking out some of the actual episodes before seeing this bigger, louder, Hollywoodized version.
