Plot:
Oscar's Oasis 2D is a computer animated comedy television series that is a reboot of the original series. The show is set in a non-specific desert that has features from several different real deserts, like the Sahara, Kalahari Desert, and North American deserts. An asphalt concrete highway runs through the area, used from time to time by various cargo trucks.

Oscar is a lizard who lives in this desert and he is always searching for food or water. He sometimes discovers liquid, in bottles or elsewhere, but he usually finds it difficult to get to it because there are many obstacles in his way. There is an oasis which has fresh water but it also has many crocodiles who will attack anyone who tries to get near the water.

At considerable personal risk (lizard is a delicacy for chickens), Oscar sometimes manages to steal an egg from a nearby hen coop or he explores one of the piles of trash that litter the parched landscape. The Trio – which involves Buck (a vulture), Harchi (a hyena) & Popy (a fennec fox) – inhabit a derelict school bus situated on a neighboring hill but they mostly race about on cast-off warehouse or grocery cart powered by Harchi and directed by Popy like Oscar; they are constantly searching for food and water too - often competing with him but occasionally cooperating with him when it suits their purpose."
