The internationally popular animated preschool CGI series “Vegesaurs” is set to make its U.S. debut, with the series being offered to all PBS member stations throughout the country via distributor American Public Television (APT). Produced by Australian studio Cheeky Little Media in association with the Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC), France TV and Studio 100 International – which also manages international distribution – “Vegesaurs” will soon be delighting young viewers across the United States.
PBS member stations in key metropolitan areas such as New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Washington D.C., Orlando, and Salt Lake City have already picked up the series, with additional local PBS stations expected to follow in the coming weeks. In addition to this growing broadcast footprint, Vegesaurs will be available to families nationwide via PBS Passport, the public broadcaster’s premium streaming service. Accessible through the PBS app, this platform ensures that children across the entire United States can enjoy the series anytime, anywhere.
“Launching ‘Vegesaurs’ on PBS Passport and PBS member stations marks an important step in the brand’s ongoing global rollout,” said Dorian Buehr; Head of Global Distribution of Studio 100 International. “It’s imaginative concept, lovable characters, and focus on fun, friendship, and healthy eating habits make it an ideal fit for the PBS audience and the U.S. preschool market.”
“’Vegesaurs’ is a fresh take on the dinosaur genre with relatable themes for upper preschoolers like mealtime, sharing, friendship and play” said Thomas Davison, Director Business Development, Grants & International Sales at APT. “We look forward to bringing this innovative series to U.S. public television audiences nationwide.”
Vegesaurs combines comedy, action, and gentle preschool storytelling in a vibrant world where food-based dinosaur creatures roam.

The series promotes positive social behavior, curiosity, and healthy eating habits in a fresh and engaging way.
The U.S. rollout represents a major milestone in “Vegesaurs” expanding global success.
