Synopsis

The show focuses on the Polie Family, who live in a teapot-shaped house in a geometric world populated by robot-based characters. The stories revolve around a young robot named Olie learning life lessons and going on wacky adventures while growing up. These often include his little sister Zowie, his inventor father, his hard-working mom, his fun-loving grandfather Pappy, and his dog Spot. Although most of the main cast is composed of circular bots, other characters are featured in other shapes, such as Olie's friend Billy Bevel and his family, who are square-shaped bots from Planet Cubey.
