"Lost Ollie" is a new hybrid mini-series that premiered on Wednesday. The series will be featuring both live-action and animation.

During the show, Ollie, a rabbit with floppy ears and fuzzy memories, embarks on an adventure to find his friend and meets a group of friends along the way.

While on his adventure, Ollie makes a pit stop at Bernheim Arboretum and Research Forest to visit Little Nis, one of the Forest Giants in a Giant Forest.

"Lost Ollie is a magical journey that takes the viewer into a fantastic world where they can lose themselves in wonder," said Bernheim Executive Director Mark Wourms, Ph.D., "I'd like to think that Bernheim offers a similarly magical experience where the visitors find themselves immersed in nature and art."

The series is created by Shannon Tindle, who grew up not too far from Louisville in Shepherdsville.

The series also pays tribute to a number of other local landmarks, including the Louisville skyline, the Kenwood Drive-In, and even the Belle of Louisville.
