The production from independent Australian producer Cheeky Little for the Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC) and France TV, is set to reach viewers worldwide.  “It’s been a wonderful journey developing and producing ‘Vegesaurs’. It’s a completely fresh take on the dinosaur genre, packed with action, comedy and heart and we can’t wait to introduce kids to the creatures, sights and sounds of Vegesaur valley," Patrick Egerton, Executive Producer, Cheeky Little, said.

 The Principal production funding is provided by Screen Australia, with Studio 100 serving as co-investor.  Studio 100 Media is tasked with the worldwide distribution of content and licensing & merchandising rights of this delicious series.
