Get Rolling With Otis

Streaming on Apple TV+

Welcome to Long Hill Dairy Farm...

Get Rolling with Otis, based on Loren Long’s bestselling book series, is an 11-minute CGI-animated preschool series about Otis, a kind, adventurous tractor who is so empathetic that his heart literally glows when he rolls into action to help his animal and vehicle friends—like Polly Pup, Daisy the calf, Sal the rooster, Celeste the pig, Louie the sheep, Kevin the pickup truck, Elaine the delivery truck, and Rusty the tractor—on Long Hill Dairy Farm.

Get Rolling with Otis welcomes young viewers to Long Hill Dairy Farm where Otis models Compassionate Action behavior in every episode, helping preschoolers to become upstanders in their communities.

Otis may be a tiny tractor, but he has a big heart. Whenever he sees a friend in need, he hits the brakes to see what’s wrong and rolls into action to help. Get Rolling with Otis shows us how empathy is a super power and how through little acts of kindness and helping others we can all make a meaningful difference.

Produced by 9 Story Media Group and animated by our Brown Bag Films' Dublin and Bali studios, the series boasts an impressive creative team with executive producers Angela C. Santomero, Darragh O’Connell, Jane Startz, Loren Long, Vince Commisso, and Wendy Harris.

The voice cast includes Griffin Robert Faulkner as Otis, Elliott Fullam as Sal the Rooster, Katie Grober as Celeste, Leah Janvier as Daisy, and Josiah Gaffney as Louie, alongside a talented ensemble bringing farmyard friends to life.

The series launched on Apple TV+ on October 8, 2021.
