* AnAesop: Many episodes end with the characters learning an important lesson that viewers might also be able to apply to themselves.

* ThreeAmigos: Ollie, Cleo, and Bernie, who have all been longtime friends and respectively play the role of hero, comic relief, and voice of reason.

* DisappearedDad: Ollie's father is absent from the picture. What happened to him isn't explained, but [[spoiler:he apparently had some connection with the Monster Pack before Ollie did.]]

* ShoutOut: The episode "The Ollie Files" features a pair of secret agents who are obvious parodies of [[Series/TheXFiles Scully and Mulder]].

* AuthorAppeal: Bernie having a Brazilian father is one for co-creator Pedro Eboli, who himself was from Brazil and has a penchant for sneaking nods to his home country in his North American shows.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: Courtney Poweredge, Cleo's campaign manager in "Cleo for President".

'''''Ollie's Pack''''' is a [[CanadianSeries Canadian animated series]] from Creator/{{Nelvana}} that was co-created by Brazilian animator Pedro Eboli (creator of Creator/CartoonNetwork Brazil's ''WesternAnimation/{{Oswaldo}}'' and Creator/{{Netflix}}'s ''WesternAnimation/CupcakeAndDinoGeneralServices'') and Canadian animator Graham Peterson.

Pedro Eboli and Graham Peterson originally created the concept of ''Ollie's Pack'' and early versions of its characters for a 2013 animated short called '''''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYgbwH0xBlg Monster Pack]]''''' that was pitched to Creator/{{Nickelodeon}} as one of numerous pilots made for the WesternAnimation/NickelodeonAnimatedShortsProgram. Nickelodeon declined to pick the pilot up for a full series, but the creators continued to shop their idea until it eventually came to the attention of Creator/{{Nelvana}}, who greenlit the project and now own the rights to the work.

The show is about [[KidHero Ollie Allen]], an ordinary 13-year-old boy from the town of Portshill who is almost never seen without his red-and-orange backpack on his shoulders. However, Ollie's pack is no ordinary schoolbag, but rather a powerful artifact that contains inside of it [[AnotherDimension the Monsterverse]], an alternate dimension populated by monsters, aliens, and other strange creatures. This magical backpack, known as [[BagOfHolding the Monster Pack]], was entrusted to Ollie by Captain Wowski, a small, purple, cat-like Monsterverse denizen who has given Ollie the title of TheChosenOne and trains him in using the Pack's power. With the help of his two best friends, [[PluckyComicRelief Cleo Badette]] and [[TheStraightMan Bernie Alves]], Ollie must protect the Monster Pack from falling into the wrong hands and send escaped Monsterverse inhabitants back into the Pack before they can cause trouble on Earth, while also using the Monster Pack's power in his everyday life to deal with typical middle-schooler problems.

Eboli and Peterson first created the ''Ollie's Pack'' characters for a 2013 animated short called ''Monster Pack''. The short was part of the WesternAnimation/NickelodeonAnimatedShortsProgram, but Nickelodeon declined to pick it up for a full series. The creators took the idea to Creator/{{Nelvana}} instead, and Nelvana now owns the copyright to it.

The final episodes of the show's first season aired in early May 2021 on Creator/{{Nicktoons}}. Pedro Eboli [[https://mobile.twitter.com/eboli_pedro/status/1389638086611505156 would later state on his Twitter]] that he had not been contacted about the possibility of creating any new seasons of ''Ollie's Pack''. And while he said that was ultimately very happy with what he had made, he has confirmed that he since moved onto other projects, ultimately leaving the show a one-season wonder.
