An outstanding family miniseries that may be small in size but is mighty in heart, Lost Ollie is a masterpiece. If the week’s, month’s or year’s events have you down, this is certainly the place to get lost in.

Well, if you aren’t aware, it is about discoveries we encounter throughout life. It is a story about melancholy, love, loss, joy, and everything in between. If you really want something that removes you from your living room and easy chair and transports you on a fantasy ride, Lost Ollie is the ticket. Subtly lamenting the transience of magic of childhood; it is about an adrift stuffed toy and the young boy he loves so dearly.
