CinemaNow - Nilus The Sandman - Episode 01 - Carrotio

It is a battle of wills between eleven-year-old Gus, who has a sweet tooth and detests vegetables, and his mother, who insists he eat them. After dinner one night, when he is left alone to finish the plateful of carrots he's been toying with for hours, the boy falls asleep and into the magic realm of NILUS THE SANDMAN. Together they journey to Gus' dream world -- a gigantic kitchen ruled by luscious desserts. There they find that the vegetables have all been banished to a dungeon-like root cellar because Gus refuses to eat them. Nilus and Gus help the oppressed vegetables escape, with the aid of Carrotio, an opera-singing carrot, only to discover they have let loose a rag tag army, intent on waging battle against the sweets. A huge food fight ensues on the grand dining table as cobs of corn fight ice cream cones, and donuts capture celery stalks. Who will win the battle for Gus' taste buds?
