Synopsis "Sleepy Time Olie (World of William Joyce) "

Olie must find a way to turn Pappy’s frown upside down—all before bedtime—in this classic picture book-turned-beloved-TV-show from the brilliant mind that brought you The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore.It’s bedtime in the Rolie Polie world, but where oh where is Pappy? He’s fallen down and bonked his head and can’t unfrown! Olie can’t go to sleep without a bedtime story from Pappy, but can Olie cheer him up in time? Olie’s super silly ray should do the trick! A most unusual bedtime book and a lovely ode to the importance of grandparents.

William Joyce has left his personal mark on all kinds of works for children, both literary and cinematic. Among his illustrated albums are bestsellers such as: George Shrinks, Santa Calls, Dinosaur Bob and his Adventures with the Family Lazardo, The Leaf Men and the Brave Good Bugs, A Day with Wilbur Robinson, Bently & Egg, and the Rolie Polie Olie series, which became a popular children's TV show that earned him no less than three Emmy Awards

However, Joyce is not just a recognized figure in the world of children's cinema and literature. His illustrations have frequently graced the cover of The New York Times, and his paintings are displayed in museums and art galleries across the United States. Hailed by Newsweek magazine as one of the hundred people to watch in the new millennium, his striking and unique stories and illustrations transport us to worlds full of fun, adventure, and fantasy

Moreover, William Joyce has lent his creative talent to several films, creating characters as famous as those in Toy Story, A Bug's Life, and Robots. In 2012 Joyce won an Oscar for the animated short film The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore, and has ventured into the digital interactive realm with the spectacular app based on this short film
