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

Lost Ollie is set to hit Netflix in August 2022 and is a hybrid of live-action/animated limited series and one of our most anticipated releases for the entirety of 2022. Ollie also become a Tragic Keepsake for Billy after his mother dies from an illness, at least until he abandons Ollie in an attempt to look mature.The flashbacks could do more to explore Ollie and Billy’s connection, especially since the current-timeline scenes mostly deal with Ollie and his two companions on their quest. In the Back: Rosy stabs Zozo in the back with her toothpick sword when he is about to kill Ollie by ripping his bell out. 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. Billy’s father James is overworked and stressed, doing his best to take care of Billy and his wife, Sharon. Inelegant Blubbering: Zozo ugly-cries in Episode 4 when Ollie tells him Nina was torn apart due to aging and her bell was inside of him the whole time.

Crocodile Tears: Zozo seems to fake-cry to lower Ollie's guard before trying to kill him, but it's left up for interpretation whether or not his crying was genuine remorse or if this was merely a manipulation tactic.

Nelson rounds out the voice cast as Zozo, a clown doll with an old soul who also agrees to help Ollie on his journey. Back from the Dead: Rosy is sewn together by Zozo when he found her in pieces, and after Ollie was torn apart by Zozo, Billy found him and sewed him back together. Ollie needs Billy, the same way that Woody and Buzz need Andy, because Ollie is a toy and his kid gives him purpose.
