The fantastic performance of the series in the UK so far contributes significantly to the brand's international success – not only on the broadcasting side, but also regarding licensing & merchandising," says Martin Krieger, CEO of Studio 100 Media.

Vegesaurus had found international success as it had partnered with broadcasters such as France TV, SVT, MiniMini+, NPO, Zappelin, MTVA and many more. 

A fresh take on the dinosaur genre with unique vegetable and fruit-shaped characters, Vegesaurs is targeted at upper preschoolers. The series follows the mini adventures of Ginger, a young Triceratops and her three baby Pea-Rex friends as they embark on a journey to enrich and enhance children's imagination and simultaneously leaning into very relatable themes for upper preschoolers such as mealtimes and healthy food, sharing, diversity etc.
