Dennis's Thank-Yous

Synopsis

Animation. Dennis lives in Beanotown with Mum, Dad, little sister Bea and his pet dog Gnasher. Gnasher is more than a dog to Dennis; he is a kindred spirit. Whatever Dennis does, Gnasher does with him.

Together with their friends Curly and Pie Face, Dennis and Gnasher believe the world truly is their oyster and that kids should make the rules. Not everyone agrees, including Mum and Dad. But Dennis and Gnasher are not going to let that stand in the way of their pursuit of fun!

Dennis's birthday is coming up and he is hoping for a one specific present - the XJ3000 Robo Security Shark to guard his treehouse. The only problem is that his relatives are on strike present-wise as Dennis has never actually thanked them for any of his presents. In an attempt to make amends, Dennis decides to write out thank-you letters, one for every birthday and Christmas. However, Dennis's menacing reputation precedes him, and everyone thinks his letters are booby-trapped.

Dennis tries everything to say thank you to his relatives, but each plan backfires. In the end, Gran comes to his aid and even manages to get him that shark he was after - it was a real shark he wanted, wasn't it?
