Dweeb
for Dweeb in We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story! (Remake.)
Suggested by thomasspongeconductor222
Eccentric scientist Captain Neweyes uses his time traveling spaceship to take 4 dinosaurs out of their time zone, that being the kind T. rex Rex, the gluttonous triceratops Woog, the elegant pterodactyl Elsa, and the dim Parasaurolophus Dweeb. Neweyes uses his brand of cereal “Brain Grain” to enhance the dinosaurs, and them harmless and friendly. Neweyes explains he did this because by using his drones that detect sounds, paticularly wishes, he has heard children wishing that they want to see dinosaurs again. He then explains he’s going to drop the dinosaurs off in New York so that they can go to the Museum of Natural History. Before Neweyes can contact the authorities, or educate the dinosaurs on earth customs, his dopey alien assistant Vorb accidentally drops the 4 dinosaurs into New York! Luckily, the dinosaurs bump into Louie and Cecilia, a boy and a girl who have both run away from home to join the circus. The dinosaurs agree to help the kids find the circus on their way to the museum. Unfortunately, the circus they find is run by Neweyes’ insane and evil brother, Professor Screweyes. He puts Louie and Cecilia under contract, and will only rip up said contract if the dinosaurs take his patented “Brain Drain”, and return back to their primitive ways so he can use them in his show. Note: The story is being told by the dinosaurs to a runaway bird named Buster in a flashback framing device.
