The Fruitties title card

The Fruitties was a popular Spanish cartoon series produced by D'Ocon Film Productions in 1987, showcasing the adventures of talking fruits and a native human girl. It was later dubbed into English and aired on Cartoon Network UK from 1994 - 2002. Although it proved popular in European countries and lasted for a whopping 91 episodes, it was never shown in the United States for unknown reasons. Consequently, the show has fallen into obscurity and remains generally unknown in North America.

In the mid 1990s, the first 18 episodes of the show received VHS releases in the United Kingdom, several of which can be found on Amazon UK. Much of the show has also been released on DVD in Spain (with an optional English audio track), although the final 13 episodes have never been released anywhere. Additionally, the releases themselves are extraordinarily rare and hard to come by.

At one point, over half the show was uploaded onto YouTube by user simion craciun. However, D'Ocon Film Productions has blocked most of the episodes on copyright grounds and only 7 episodes remain.

Interestingly, the show's soundtrack is available on Amazon.com and iTunes. but a release of the actual series has yet to be seen.
