The Fruitties is an animated television series produced in Spain by D'Ocon Film Productions in 1987. It originally aired on Spanish television TVE. Originally, 91 episodes were created - each 10 minutes long - but the series was often repackaged as 56 25-minute episodes. The series was dubbed into many languages and, in 1991, an English-language version of the show made its debut on British television.

  • Roly (Sean Barrett) is a pineapple with a southern Spanish accent. He tends to brag and get the entire team in trouble. However, he is shown to be resourceful when he needs to be.
  • Pak (Daniel Flynn) is a knowledgeable banana and carries a backpack which contains an array of handy survival equipment for the team. He tends to bicker with Roly, due to Roly's laziness and bragging nature, yet he admires his sense of humor and his resourcefulness. He also has a rivalry with Monkus, the mad scientist monkey, who, unlike Pak, uses his scientific skills for evil.
  • Thorny (Peter Whitman) is a dim-witted cactus, speaking with a southern US accent. His prickly body saves the group from dangerous creatures on many occasions, although it is a pain in the neck to Roly.
  • Kumba (Stacey Gregg) is the only female and human in the group. She joins Roly, Pak and Thorny to guide them around the world. She sports a bikini made of leaves.
  • Sean Barrett also provides the voice of Boss - an antagonistic wild boar who speaks with a Bronx-style accent and is determined to capture and eat the Fruitties.

    • Song
