Olivia Deliveries
The first 8 episodes of Olivia have officially been delivered. 8 down, 44 still to go! We had a private screening of the episodes followed by a few celebratory drinks. The CGI animation has stayed true to the minimalist illustrative style found in the Olivia books by Ian Falconer, but it has also added a depth that can only be achieved through CG animation. The Olivia TV series will be aired in America on Nickelodeon early next Spring.
