[Inspirational music plays]

Fruit and vegetable dinosaurs roam the land.

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.

Screen Australia and The Australian Broadcasting Corporation Present: A Cheeky Little Media Production.

The narrator says, THE MIGHTY VEGESAURS.

Tricarrotops Ginger stands on a cliff with Pea-Rexes Minty, Wasabi and Split.

Title: Vegesaurs. Created by Gary Eck and Nick O’Sullivan.

[Gentle music plays]

Bright lava flows from a volcano in Vegesaur Valley, and smoke billows from the top.

The narrator says, VOLCANIC ACTIVITY IS CAUSING HOT AIR TO BUBBLE UP FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE LAKE, CREATING A NATURAL BUBBLE BATH.

Ginger, Minty, Wasabi and Split walk to the lake and look at the bubbling water.

[Bubbling]

[Minty, Wasabi and Split exclaiming]

Ginger says, I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.

[Minty, Wasabi and Split exclaiming]

Ginger dips her foot in the water. Wasabi dips their claw in.

Ginger says, OH! IT'S SO NICE AND WARM.

A group of Cucumberdiles leave the water.

The narrator says, CUCUMBERDILES REQUIRE MUCH COOLER TEMPERATURES.

Ginger says, OH! LOOKS LIKE WE'VE GOT THE PLACE TO OURSELVES NOW.

She looks around.

Ginger asks, YOU THINKING WHAT I'M THINKING?

Wasabi and Minty nod.

[Ginger, Minty, Wasabi and Split chittering]

Ginger, Minty, Wasabi and Split jump in the lake.

[Giggling]

[Splashing]

Ginger, Minty, Wasabi and Split float on their backs.

[Wasabi sighing]

Ginger says, OH, YEAH. THIS IS THE GOOD STUFF.

[Bubbling]

[Minty, Wasabi and Split chittering]

[Ginger giggling]

Ginger looks at the bubbles on the surface of the water.

She says, I WONDER WHERE ALL THESE WARM BUBBLES ARE COMING FROM.

Ginger takes a deep breath.

[Ginger inhaling deeply]

Ginger sticks her head underwater and watches bubbles float to the surface from the bottom of the lake.

[Bubbling]

Minty floats past Ginger in a bubble.

[Minty chittering]

Ginger returns to the surface of the water.

[Ginger inhaling sharply]

Minty pops up from underwater.

Ginger says, THEY'RE ALL COMING FROM THE SAME PLACE.

She frowns.

Ginger asks, DOES THE WATER FEEL LIKE IT'S GETTING WARMER TO YOU?

Wasabi sucks in a mouthful of water and gargles.

[Gargling]

Wasabi spits the water at Ginger.

[Spraying]

[Ginger laughing]

[Minty, Wasabi and Split giggling]

Ginger looks at the water thoughtfully.

She says, HMM. WHAT IF THE LAKE GETS TOO WARM? THOSE CREATURES WON'T HAVE ANYWHERE TO LIVE.

Ginger glances toward the Cucumberdiles on the beach.

[Cucumberdile yawning]

[Wasabi gasping]

[Split and Wasabi chittering]

Ginger says, THEY MIGHT COME LIVE WITH US!

[Split and Wasabi whimpering]

Ginger says, WE HAVE TO FIX IT.

Minty hops across Split and Wasabi and onto Ginger.

[Minty grunting]

The narrator says, YOUNG TRICARROTOPS HAVE LARGE LUNGS...

Split and Wasabi climb onto Ginger.

Ginger asks, READY?

The narrator says, ...AND CAN HOLD THEIR BREATH FOR A LONG TIME.

[Ginger inhaling deeply]

Ginger dives underwater with Minty, Wasabi, and Split, all holding their breath.

[Splashing]

The narrator says, PEA-REXES CAN HOLD THEIR BREATH FOR LONG PERIODS, TOO.

Wasabi toots and floats away from Ginger.

[Flatulence]

Tiny bubbles float toward the surface of the lake.

The narrator says, AND SOMETIMES THAT BREATH CAN EXIT THROUGH THE WRONG END.

[Wasabi giggling]

Ginger scoops up Wasabi between her horns. She swims toward two large rocks at the bottom of the lake with bubbles floating out from behind them.

[Bubbling]

Ginger says, HMM.

The narrator says, A LARGE UNDERATER VENT HAS OPENED, SENDING HOT AIR INTO THE LAKE.

Ginger swims over to a large vent behind the rocks. Small rocks swirl among tiny bubbles above a small vent.

[Bubbling]

Ginger says, HMM..

The narrator says, THE HOT, GASSY BUBBLES MOVE THE WATER IN OPPOSITE DIRECTIONS, CREATING A WHIRLPOOL.

Ginger reaches the bottom of the lake. Minty swims over to the small whirlpool and spins around with the bubbles and small rocks.

[Minty yelping]

Minty spins out of the whirlpool. Minty sinks into a vent and plugs it.

The narrator says, THE DOWNWARD CURRENT HAS MADE A PLUG OUT OF THIS BABY PEA-REX.

A rock plugs another small vent. Minty wiggles out of the vent.

[Minty grunting]

Still holding her breath, Ginger grunts, UH-UH-UH.

She glances upward. Ginger swims back to the surface of the water. Minty holds onto her tail.

[Splashing]

[Ginger gasping]

[Chattering]

Two Watermelonsukuses float in the water close by.

Ginger says, HEY, I NEED YOUR HELP.

The Watermelonsukuses turn toward Ginger.

Ginger says, WE NEED TO MAKE A REALLY BIG WHIRLPOOL, SO WE'RE GOING TO NEED SOME REALLY BIG HELP.

The Watermelonsukuses smile. A pod of Watermelonsukuses swim down to the large vent at the bottom of the lake.

[Bubbling]

Ginger rides one of the Watermelonsukuses with Minty, Wasabi and Split and points toward the vent.

[Ginger grunting]

Ginger swims around the tall tower of bubbles and up through the water. The Watermelonsukuses swim around the bubbles and create a whirlpool.

[Exciting music plays]

The narrator says, THE FASTER THEY GO, THE MORE POWERFUL THE WHIRLPOOL.

Ginger watches the Watermelonsukuses. She swims to the surface of the lake.

[Ginger inhaling sharply]

Ginger says, I THINK IT'S WORKING.

[Ginger inhaling deeply]

Ginger dives back underwater and watches the Watermelonsukuses. The swirling bubbles pull rocks off the bottom of the lake into the whirlpool.

Holding her breath, Ginger says, MMM!

She spins.

Ginger says, MM! MMM!

Two Watermelonsukuses swim up to Ginger. The whirlpool slows. The rocks sink and plug vents with bubbles bubbling out.

Ginger says, MM!

She swims toward the surface of the lake. Smoke continues to billow out of the volcano in the valley.

The narrator says, THE LAKE HAS COOLED...

Two Watermelonsukuses dive into the water.

[Splashing]

The narrator says, …AND THE CUCUMBERDILES CAN SAFELY RETURN TO THEIR HOME.

The Cucumberdiles walk into the water.

On the beach, Ginger says, WE DID IT! WELL DONE, GANG.

[Minty, Wasabi and Split sighing]

Minty kicks a rock into the water.

[Splashing]

Ginger says, I KNOW, I KNOW. THE BUBBLE BATH IS OVER.

She glances to her right.

[Ginger gasping]

Ginger says, OR IS IT?

She steps away and returns with a bamboo stick.

[Minty, Wasabi and Split gasping]

[Bubbling]

Ginger blows bubbles in the lake with the bamboo stick.

[Minty, Wasabi and Split giggling and cheering]

Minty, Wasabi and Split jump in the bubbling water.

[Minty, Wasabi and Split chittering excitedly]
