Greenwood Forest

Greenwood Forest, known as The Adventures of Fyp in certain countries, is a Kuboian Kantasy television series, and the second animated series to be produced by Kubokartoonz (now known as GeneBox Animation).

The series began production in 1989, and three series and twenty eight episodes were produced and aired from 1993 to 1995 on Bumper's Block. Reruns were later aired on KT from 2000 to 2008.

Premise
Taking place in the titular area, a village located in a bright and colourful forest, the show mostly focuses on Fyp, the son of Greenwood Forest's mayor, and his younger twin sister Billie. Each episode of the show focuses on the twins' day-to-day life and what they get up to. Several episodes on the show focus on social issues or teaching moral lessons.

When the show originally aired, every episode ended with a two-minute segment which would teach a moral lesson which would be tied to the episode's premise. These segments were omitted when the show aired in reruns on KT, though they were left intact in most international airings.

Main characters

 * Fyp - an imaginative and adventurous nine year-old boy, and the high-profile son of Greenwood Forest's mayor. Fyp is always looking for something new to do each day, whether it is going on an expedition or learning something new. He typically acts as the voice of reason if one of his friends misbehaves or does something they shouldn't. Although Fyp is mature and sensible, he isn't very physically strong, and is prone to getting kidnapped.
 * Billie - Fyp's shy twin sister, who accompanies her brother a majority of the time. Despite being introverted, she is quick at acting when her brother is in trouble, and is usually the one to save him.
 * Edward - the mayor of Greenwood Forest, and Billie and Fyp's father.
 * Butler - a servant employed by Edward to do chores in Fyp's house. Despite his name, he is frequently seen out and about with Billie and Fyp. His real name is never revealed on the show.

Recurring characters

 * Spider - a large friendly spider who lives in a cardboard box in Greenwood Forest's local supermarket. Although it cannot talk, it can understand human language.
 * Whitney - Fyp's best friend who has a one-sided crush on him. She is shown to be quite mischievous, and her curiosity sometimes gets her in trouble. Whitney doesn't put a lot of effort into hiding her crush on Fyp, but he doesn't seem to notice it.
 * Rosie - a friend of Fyp who is extremely self-important and greedy, and is disliked by most of the other characters. Like Whitney, Rosie has a crush on Fyp, but is more interested in trying to date him just to show off and boost her ego. She typically only does good things for people if she gets a reward out of doing so.
 * Peter - Rosie's uncle who is the same age as her, and the only person she treats with proper respect. Although he is fairly snobby, he is not as rude or selfish as his niece.
 * Marty - a round rock creature who lives in a cave next to the park in Greenwood Forest. He often likes to spend time alone in the dark, and can be very loud and grumpy. However, he will occasionally show his face, typically for special events.

Production
Development on Greenwood Forest began in 1989. Whilst Kubokartoonz were working on The Incredible World of Riddles, Harlow Maynard organised a studio meeting to come up with a new show which they could work on after production on The Incredible World of Riddles was completed. Most of the episodes were written by Kubokartoonz co-founder Lake Caters and screenwriter Marty Rockfield, though two episodes were written by Geri Johnstone. According to Caters, most episodes were finished over a year before they were actually aired, and that all twenty eight episodes were originally part of a single series, but were cut into three series in order to let the team work on the show without feeling rushed.

Animation Studios

 * AKOM (majority of the series)
 * Tokyo Movie Shinsua (worked on polishing the character cels)

Home media
Throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, several VHS tapes consisting of around four or five episodes (in their original format) were released in Europe.

A DVD consisting of all twenty eight episodes was released worldwide in 2003.
