[Upbeat music plays, flapping, dinosaur chirping]

An appleflyus flies over vegesaurs walking in tall green grass. Green broccosauruses with long necks have bodies shaped like heads of broccoli.

White text reads, Screen Australia and The Australian Broadcasting Corporation Present. A Cheeky Little Media Production.

A narrator says, IT'S THE LATE CRUNCHIEST PERIOD. WHEN THE WORLD WAS DOMINATED BY THE JUICIEST AND FRESHEST CREATURES EVER TO RULE THE PLANET-- THE MIGHTY VEGESAURS.

Title: “Vegesaurs.”

Created by Gary Eck and Nick O’Sullivan. Ginger, an orange triceratops, stands on a cliff top. Wasabi, Minty, and Split, three baby pea-rexes, ride on her head.

[Rumbling, upbeat music plays, pea-rexes chattering, laughing, footsteps pattering]

Lava flows down the side of Mount Vegetoa. On the dirt below, Minty, Wasabi, and Split run past the volcano, and Ginger follows them.

The narrator says, ANOTHER DAY IN VEGESAUR VALLEY, AND THESE BABY PEA-REXES ARE EAGER FOR A VISIT TO THE THERMAL BLOWHOLES.

Ginger asks, ARE YOU SURE THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY?

[Growling, footsteps thumping, potatodons snorting, pea-rexes chattering]

Two potatodons, each with a potato chip spike on their back, watch the pea-rexes and Ginger approach.

Ginger says, UH-OH!

[Tense music plays, footsteps thumping, growling]

The potatodons approach the pea-rexes and Ginger.

The narrator says, HOME TO THE TERRITORIAL POTATODON, THE SCORCHING LAVA PLANES AREN'T THE MOST WELCOMING PLACE FOUR YOUNG VEGESAURS.

Ginger says, MAYBE NOT THE RIGHT WAY. LET'S GO.

[Squawking, footsteps thumping, steam hissing, Minty chattering, upbeat music plays]

Wasabi, Ginger, and Split walk away. Minty follows and points at the thermal blowholes on a nearby hill.

Ginger says, OH, THERE THEY ARE! DO YOU THINK IT'S SAFE TO GO THERE?

[Pea-rexes chattering, footsteps thumping]

The pea-rexes run down a slope, and Ginger follows.

Ginger says, I GUESS WE'RE GOING ANYWAYS. MINTY, BE CAREFUL!

[Minty grunting, chattering]

Minty jumps on rocks sticking out of a river of flowing lava.

Ginger says, COME BACK!

Minty runs into a vegesaur’s foot and falls backwards.

Minty says, OOF! UH-OH.

[Footsteps running]

Ginger says, MINTY! HUH?

[Minty and vegesaur laughing, boinging]

Minty bounces on the head of a vegesaur that resembles a sweet potato. Unlike the potatodon, this vegesaur does not have a potato chip spike on their back.

Ginger says, WHOA! I HAVEN'T SEEN YOU BEFORE.

[Tail rustling, giggling, tongue slurping, footsteps thumping, sweet potatodons grunting]

The sweet potatodon wags their tail and runs to their herd. One sweet potatodon licks another’s face.

The narrator says, THIS IS THE SWEET POTATODON. THE FRIENDLIER COUSIN OF THE POTATODON. A VOLCANIC EXPLOSION IN THE NEIGHBOURING VALLEY HAS FORCED ITS HERD TO MIGRATE.

Ginger says, AWW, THEY'RE SO SWEET!

[Giggling, slurping, grunting, footsteps thumping]

The two potatodons arrive. A sweet potatodon crouches, wags their tail, and licks a potatodon’s cheek. The potatodon walks away.

The narrator says, POTATODONS DON'T LIKE TO SHARE THEIR SPACE, AND THEY'RE VERY UNHAPPY WITH THEIR NEW VISITORS.

[Grunting, laughing, tails rustling]

Ginger says, LOOKS LIKE YOU LOVE TO PLAY AS MUCH AS WE DO!

[Giggling, tongue slurping]

The sweet potatodon with Minty on their head licks Ginger’s cheek.

Ginger says, WE'RE ON OUR WAY TO THE BLOWHOLES. WANT TO COME WITH US?

[Laughing, tail rustling]

Ginger runs up the sweet potatodon’s neck and rides on their back.

Ginger says, WHOO-HOO!

[Upbeat music plays, footsteps thumping]

The herd follows the sweet potatodon carrying Ginger and the pea-rexes.

Ginger says, NEXT STOP, THE BLOWHOLES! WHOO-HOO! YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING FROM UP HERE. WHOA!

[Steam hissing, sweet potatodons grunting]

The herd arrives at the thermal blowholes.

Ginger says, YAY! WE'VE GOT THEM ALL TO OURSELVES. LET'S GO HAVE SOME FUN!

[Steam hissing, pea-rexes chattering, sweet potatodons chuckling]

Ginger and the pea-rexes jump off the sweet potatodon’s back. The pea-rexes jump on blowholes and float on the steam.

Ginger says, YOU THINK THAT'S COOL? WATCH THIS!

[Pea-rexes laughing, steam hissing, flatulence tooting]

Ginger steps on a blowhole and blocks the steam, then steps off. The steam beneath Split rises and falls.

Ginger says, THAT WAS NOT ME!

[Laughing, flatulence tooting continues, everyone giggling]

Ginger says, COME ON, HAVE A GO!

[Flatulence tooting continues, everyone giggling]

Potatodons cover blowholes, and Split and Wasabi float higher on their steam. The pea-rexes bounce from blowhole to blowhole.

The narrator says, THE HEAVY-FOOTED SWEET POTATODONS CAN LAUNCH THE BABY PEA-REXES TO EVEN GREATER HEIGHTS.

[Loud flatulence tooting, sweet potatodon grunting, steam hissing, Minty shouting, slide whistle]

A sweet potatodon flops on a blowhole, and Minty flies high in the air.

Ginger says, WHOA!

[Footsteps tapping]

Minty falls on a rock in the middle of lava.

Ginger says, OH, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO! MINTY!

[Thudding, lava bubbling]

Minty jumps up onto the top of a rocky outcropping in the middle of the lava.

Minty says, TAH-DAH!

[Minty whimpering, vegesaurs gasping]

Minty anxiously looks over the edge of the outcropping. Ginger and the other vegesaurs run to the edge of the lava.

Ginger says, MINTY! NO!

[Tense music plays, potatodons grunting, thumping, Ginger panting]

Three potatodons walk to Ginger. She tries to climb a steep rockface and falls.

The narrator says, THEY MAY SEEM GRUMPY, BUT POTATODONS ARE ALWAYS READY TO HELP VEGESAURS IN DANGER.

Ginger says, HI. MY FRIEND IS IN TROUBLE. I THINK WE NEED SOME HELP.

[Potatodon bellowing, sweet potatodons grunting, footsteps thumping, potatodon grunting, dramatic music plays, Minty shouting, grunting, thudding, Minty giggling, pea-rex footsteps pattering, pea-rexes chattering, laughing]

The sweet potatodons walk to the sweet potatodons and Ginger. Beside the steep rockface, the sweet potatodons make a pyramid with a potatodon on the top. The potatodon leans over the lava and tilts their potato chip spike towards Minty. Minty jumps on and slides down. Minty jumps down the sweet potatodon pyramid to the ground, and Split and Wasabi run to them.


Ginger says, PHEW! GOOD TO HAVE YOU BACK, MINTY. WE'RE SORRY FOR CAUSING SO MUCH TROUBLE.

[Volcano rumbling, footsteps thumping, pea-rexes chattering, solemn music plays]

Wasabi kicks Minty forward, and they look at the potatodons with big eyes.

The narrator says, IT SEEMS THE POTATODONS ARE ACTING IN AN UNFRIENDLY MANNER IN ORDER TO PROTECT THE OTHER VEGESAURS FROM THE LAVA PLAINS.

Ginger says, THANKS FOR LOOKING OUT FOR US! THAT WAS SOME GREAT TEAMWORK.

[Grunting, snorting, chuckling, tongue slurping, happy music plays]

A potatodon smiles, and a sweet potatodon licks the potatodon’s cheek.

The narrator says, AND AT LAST, THE TWO POTATODONS HAVE LEARNED TO GET ALONG.

[Sweet potatodons and potatodons chuckling]

Ginger says, AWW! THAT'S THE SWEET STUFF.
