Ollie, o Coelhinho Perdido

I usually just dole out stars and look around at reviews, but this is on another level. Superb skill from all the actors. Rich music & color. Writing that tugs on your soul. The immersive live action animation is literally seamless. They should all be immensely proud of this. Get a box of tissues ready you'll probably need it. Just breathtaking. To the top of the lightest light down to the pit of darkness. It's a rollercoaster of high quality showmanship put in a neat little package to be enjoyed through the ages.

I was expecting this to be overtly saccharine, but it really wasn't. This is essentially the dark, grown up version of Toy Story - still containing a childlike innocence, but with a much darker and mature take on "the lost toy" tale.

I will admit that the first two episodes, until the end of episode two, starts off extremely slow and can come off as a bit boring. However it is totally worth it for the final two episodes as it builds up nicely, with a heartbreaking and heartwarming conclusion that absolutely tore me apart.

There were a few twists here and there that I was not expecting, which I really admired for their boldness. The whole series really about the light and dark side of grieving. How it can tear some people apart completely and helps other to grow and carry on.

If you've ever lost a loved one, this will definitely hurt, but in a good way.

The show is wonderful on its own. I will say that. But it was based on an absolutely beautiful book called Ollie's Odyssey by William Joyce and they fundamentally changed the entire story for the show. They kept bits and pieces but the framework is very different. I read the book out loud to my son a few years ago and we read it again leading up to the release of the show, excited to see our favorite scenes come alive. They weren't there, none of them. We still enjoyed the show but it's not what we were expecting and we're hoping one day they do it again following the book more exactly. The synopsis listed here on the site is what the storyline of the book is, not the show.

Amazing !! Ok like finally something to justify Netflix price hikes. Also ummm how is this not a huge Franchise right now?? Well maybe it will be, idk.....limited series (thats my only complaint) This reminds me of the first time i saw the original toy story but way better. Guys if you want to show your lady you have emotions this one will pull them tears out of ya.

This is just one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. It has so much heart and virtue. A depiction of how love can make a soul beautiful or ugly. The deep or dark aspects of the story went over my kids heads, but they loved the series over all and fell in love with Ollie, and so did I.

It's rare to find a show my husband and I can not only watch with our young kids, but one that we actualy enjoy watching as well and we find so engaging. We wanted to watch each episode as much as the kids did.

It was pure and real, and I can't believe it's not number 1 on Netflix right now. It really should be.
