The Guava Juice Show follows the adventures of 14-year-old Roi and his best friends – fearless fellow teen Jenny and a risk-averse neurotic talking fruit Guava – as they work at a mysterious curio shop and travel to fantastical parallel worlds throughout the multiverse in a magical bathtub. Whether searching for a mundane item for a customer or meeting dysfunctional twin superheroes or a seemingly evil computer with a heart of gold, their adventures always go somewhere unexpected with Roi, Jenny and Guava getting more than they bargained for and fighting to rein in the chaos around them.
The show was awarded Best Screenwriting for a Children’s Series for episode 123, written by Christine Mitchell, at the WGC Screenwriting Awards 2023 and has been nominated for two Leo Awards for Best Animation Series and Best Art Direction.
