Meet the family.

Main characters

Ollie

1 year old

A tiny hurricane of joy. Curious, cheeky and always one step from chaos — the reason every story has a twist.

Leon

4 years old

The clever big brother. Quick-witted, always keeping an eye on Ollie so nothing goes wrong. He adores his little brother — though they don’t always agree.

Lidiia Balika, creator and director of Ollie & Leon

Behind the studio

Hi, I’m Lidiia.

I’m the creator and director behind Ollie & Leon — and yes, I’m also the mom in the stories. Ollie and Leon are inspired by two real brothers. I write, direct and animate every film, turning small everyday family moments into stories people want to watch again. Parents from all over the world often write to tell me Ollie and Leon look exactly like their own kids — that sense of recognition is what makes a product feel at home in our stories.
