Why this story? The channel went from 708,000 to 805,000 subscribers this week.
A boy swallows a whistle. Another digs a secret house to escape his mother. Those are two of the premises on onca's latest upload list, arriving as the animated-storytelling channel adds nearly 100,000 subscribers in seven days.
The whistle story is the most watched of its recent uploads, with more than four million views. The secret-house tale follows a day later, alongside a story whose title promises that a kiss saves a best friend. Today's addition takes another turn: a gun made from soap.
These are animations rather than documentary footage. onca describes a team of writers, voice actors and animators building each video, with stories drawn both from everyday situations and original fiction. The titles supply the extraordinary predicament before the animation supplies the journey.
The growth also extends beyond subscriptions: daily viewing across onca's uploads is running at nearly twice its usual pace.
