Ninjasaurus is the first segment of the fourteenth episode of the television show Pucca. It first aired on January 15, 2007.
Synopsis[]
The young ninjas are sent back in time and must rescue Ssoso before they all go out with the dinosaurs.
Plot[]
Pucca, Ching, Garu and Ssoso are on the playground trying to enjoy the merry-go-round, but Abyo cannot spin it fast enough to satisfy them. Pucca takes a turn, but the strength of her push spins the group to a different place, almost being crushed by a herd of dinosaurs and they realize they have ended up back in time. Ssoso is carried off by a giant mosquito and ends up in a nest where one of its eggs is knocked to the ground. The other hatches to reveal a baby pterodactyl.
The rest of the ninjas, seeing an asteroid coming, set out to grab Ssoso and escape before they are wiped out with the dinosaurs. They are swiftly attacked by a group of early humans, but thanks to a distraction provided by Pucca, they escape (and set in motion human evolution).
Back with Ssoso, the mother pterodactyl believes he is one of her children, unaware that her second child is down below, and accepts him as family. The others arrive at the cliff and Ching finds the missing egg, giving it to Abyo to carry up the mountain, who then bums it off to Garu. The boys make it up to Ssoso and while the mother is angry with their intrusion, she is quickly distracted by her hatching egg. Realizing Ssoso is not her child, she knocks all three ninjas off the cliff.
The group is reunited, but must flee a Tyrannosaurus Rex and are unable to make it to the merry-go-round before the impact. The asteroid, however, turns out to be small and harmless, thus making it not the one responsible for wiping out all the dinosaurs (It is, in fact, germs as a sneeze from Abyo spreads an infection across the land that slays them instantly). The T-Rex still comes after them and makes it to the merry-go-round just as Pucca spins the group backwards. They reach the present day, now forbidding Pucca to push the merry-go-round again, but are horrified to find their friend has merged with the dinosaur, her head on its body. Yet, in typical Pucca fashion, her only response is to set off after Garu.
Elsewhere, the rest of the dinosaur appears, its head on Pucca’s body. It tries to growl menacingly, but the weight of its cranium on such tiny shoulders flips it into a headstand. It struggles to stand up but couldn't as it sighs pitifully.
Trivia[]
- The part where all the dinosaurs (save for the T-Rex) die from Abyo's sneeze is a reference on the segment Time and Punishment of The Simpsons episode Treehouse of Horror V.
