WellieWishers is an animated web series based on the American Girl doll franchise.[1] The series premiered on October 14, 2016 on Amazon Prime Video in the United States and Spain,[3] and subsequently aired on Televisa,[4] plus Tiny Pop in the United Kingdom.[5] The series is co-produced by Mattel Creations and Submarine Studios B.V.[6] and animated by Jam Filled Entertainment.[7] Unfortunately, WellieWishers will not air on Pop Girl due to its closure in 2015, one year before WellieWishers premiered.

The series features five six and seven-year-old girls: Willa, Camille, Emerson, Kendall and Ashlyn. Each girl wears a pair of colourful Wellington boots as they play in Willa's Aunt Miranda's garden.[1]
