WixBerries (series)

WixBerries (also known as WixBerries: Spunky Mates) is a upcoming American web television show created by Harry Aguiluz for YouTube.

Premise
This series involves an anthropomorphic polar bear named Kenny "Winter Bear" Wadston who has an arch-nemesis named Otto. He once lived in South Pole, but left his hometown to discover the world on his own. He now lives with his friends (such as Koopa, Blue Yoshi, Diddy Kong, Zazu, etc.), and does normal things with them as well as going on wacky adventures with them.

Development
The concept was first conceived back in 2013, when Harry Aguiluz started making videos featuring his toys and uploaded them to YouTube. He has always had a passion of filming skits of his plushies doing certain activities. From that year to 2016, he made a series of videos called "AFMovies", which were heavily inspired by Logan Thirtyacre's SML Movies. In December 2014, Harry went to a regional center for a Christmas event with his family and that's when he first got Kenny the Winter Bear.

On November 23, 2017, Washed Up! was uploaded on YouTube via LoganaWixelandGarfieldFTW's channel, which involved Otto, the series' antagonist, kidnapping Winter Bear and throwing him into a washing machine with Koopa and Diddy being determined to rescue him. This would later be followed by five more episodes, thus making a mini-series (known as "The Pre-series", "The Beta Season", or "The Lost Miniseries") that ran from 2017 to 2018, in which were uploaded on WixToons Channel. The channel, along with the episodes, would later be deleted in August 2018, so Harry would focus more on school and his personal life, though still showed interest on continuing the franchise.

On June 30, 2020, Harry was chatting with Jacob Kuśnierz on Discord, who showed him a new logo of WixBerries that he designed, which led to them having a conversation about it. The former thought of an idea of making a new web-series, which would have the same name (with an alternate title called WixBerries: Spunky Mates) and premise as the pre-series but with new characters, episode ideas and some remakes. Harry later confirmed on his DeviantArt post on December 16, 2020 that he was planning to make the series and that it is expected to start production sometime in 2022.
