By doing so, Lost Ollie reminds us just how evocative that well-worn story can be when given enough care and detail.

The show might tread on familiar territory in the setup, but by the end it’s so evocative that any overdone tropes feel fresh, like they’ve just hit for the first time. One of the most charming parts of Lost Ollie is that the toys can not only communicate with each other, but with kids too. Similarly, Billy’s story turns from some rosy-colored memories of his family to how they cope with tragedy. Alongside the release date for the new 4-part miniseries, Netflix gave us some first looks at Lost Ollie, including pictures and a short glimpse during a summer sizzle reel.

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.
