Rolie Polie Olie is an animated television series created by William Joyce, and is produced by Nelvana in co-production with French broadcaster La Cinquième/France 5.

The series was broadcast from October 4, 1998, to April 28, 2004, and was followed with two straight-to-video films titled The Great Defender of Fun and The Baby Bot Chase, in 2002 and 2003 respectively.

[4] The show has a vintage atmosphere, with futuristic elements and it is speculated that it may be set in the 1950s, while being influenced by 1930s rubber hose cartoons like Fleischer Studios.

The stories revolve around a young robot named Olie learning life lessons and going on wacky adventures (either real or imaginative) while growing up.

These often include his younger sister Zowie, his inventor father Percy, his hard-working mother Polina, his fun-loving grandfather Pappy, and his dog Spot.
