Netflix’s Lost Ollie review: If Toy Story messed you up

Gina Rodriguez ( Jane the Virgin), Jake Johnson ( New Girl) and youngster Kesler Talbot ( 50 States of Fright) will star in the live-action portion of the limited family drama series from Stranger Things exec producer Shawn Levy. Jonathan Groff ( Hamilton, Frozen), Mary J. Blige ( Power Book II: Ghost) and Tim Blake Nelson ( Watchmen) will lead the voice cast.Netflix’s Lost Ollie is the latest take on this genre. From creator Shannon Tindle, a character designer on Kubo and the Two Strings and Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends, Lost Ollie is a loose adaptation of William Joyce’s children’s book Ollie’s Odyssey. While Lost Ollie touches on familiar beats of toy-focused stories, it also plunges further into some of the darker implications of a world where toys are alive and fleshes out the child’s point of view. By doing so, Lost Ollie reminds us just how evocative that well-worn story can be when given enough care and detail. Invisible to Adults: Not invisible, but adults cannot see the toys move or hear them talk. Billy loses his ability to Ollie when he's an adult. Lost Ollie will also be helmed by Peter Ramsey, who most famously directed Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse to massive critical and audience acclaim.
