\u201cOllie\u2019s Pack\u201d is one of Nickelodeon\u2019s newest shows. Like \u201cIt\u2019s Pony,\u201d it\u2019s not based on an existing property or a consumer product so that\u2019s part of what drives me to this show. This show was produced by Nelvana. I grew up with Nelvana shows in the past but in recent years, it\u2019s like these Nelvanas have been mediocre. Because they\u2019re showing this on Nickelodeon, I\u2019m bypassing these factors and giving this a go. I don\u2019t know why I keep watching \u201cOllie\u2019s Pack,\u201d I just watch it to feel younger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m glad the design didn\u2019t turn out like its pilot short \u201cMonster Pack.\u201d The design of that short was just horrendous. If you\u2019ve ever seen \u201cCupcake and Dino\u201d (Netflix, 2018) (also created by OP\u2019s co-creator, Pedro Eboli), you\u2019ll see the design is similar to \u201cOllie\u2019s Pack.\u201d Thank Mark Satterthwaite for the same feel on both shows. The design is not my favorite, but it helps with the show\u2019s individuality on Nickelodeon. Also, I\u2019m not a huge fan of the techno, video game-like music. Sounds more suited toward \u201cGlitch Techs\u201d (Netflix, 2020-present) (yes, I\u2019m currently watching that, too). However, I will have a certain title card cue music in my head that I think is neat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Without looking at the credits, there are clues throughout this series that prove this show is Canada-based. Some of those clues include a hockey stick in Ollie\u2019s room and some French phrases Ollie slides into his speech (je ne sais quoi, joie de vivre). I have a thing for Canadian animation. Even as a young girl, I could sense a Canadian show just by watching a few minutes of the show. That\u2019s another thing that keeps me coming back to watch this show. The theme song\u2019s singer seems to have a Canadian accent to top it all off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t be too quick to give up on this show. The later episodes seem better. This show has grown on me somehow. It could be the fact I have access to Nickelodeon and watching these newer, original Nick shows make me feel younger. It\u2019s good to know Nickelodeon is green-lighting more original shows rather than shows based on popular movies which is what drove me away from Nick in the first place (around 2007). Like I said about, \u201cIt\u2019s Pony,\u201d please support Nickelodeon\u2019s original shows. It will encourage them to make more shows that we can potentially try and like. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
