Olivia's headed for TV!
Categories: In the news, Media, That's entertainment
When my daughter had a chance to bring her favorite book to preschool, she didn't hesitate. She grabbed Olivia by Ian Falconer from the hundreds of other books on her shelf. There's something about Olivia that kids really relate to, whether she's scaring away her little brother, getting put in time out, carrying around her beleaguered cat, or changing her clothes for the millionth time.
In the early part of next year, kids will be able to see their favorite character come to life on the popular children's channel Nickelodean, in 26 new animated episodes. The animation, done by Brown Bag Films, is done in eye-popping 3D CGI -- a lively and colorful way to showcase this pig with flair. There's little doubt that the series is going to be a huge hit with the under-6 set.
According to his website, Falconer says that the inspiration for Olivia came from his experiences with his own niece (also named Olivia). Perhaps that's why his beloved character feels so real, to parents and kids alike.
