In each episode, fruits and vegetables came out of a basket spontaneously, moving by themselves, and were cut to form animals and objects. The animals then performed other actions, such as eating the leftovers. In some episodes, food comes out of a trash can to form animals, like a possum. Music and sound effects
Each episode has more or less the same song, played throughout the short. The differences consist of small sound effects when the animal eats, makes noises, etc. The main song begins with only a female voice singing "Soupe Opéra" with French accent. Then there are computer-generated drums, with a strong 4/4 beat, and a voice that sang in a kind of groan "Ah Oo Oo Oo Oh Oh". The sound of this song, with its somewhat random sound effects, is typical of the 1990s.
