Kiri and Lou began airing in 2019, and is voiced by Liv Tennet as the feisty, emotional, little yellow dinosaur named Kiri, and dreamy, placid and purple Lou, gently played by Jemaine Clement. They’re friends in a Jurassic-era forest setting that sounds and feels like an ancient Aotearoa. The show airs on Sky NZ and TVNZ+ and each episode is a sweet 10 minutes long.

I feel like the article doesn't cover this well, but there's a claymation TV series made in NZ about a dinosaur and another seemingly unclassified creature with a long trunk. It ran from 2019 to 2024, and now there is a movie coming. It's about an hour long, aimed at preschoolers, and appears to be released to cinemas next weekend, though not every cinema website I checked had it on their upcoming list so I'm not sure how wide the release is. It seems to start to appear in schedules from 8th August.
