"Dawn of the Disposals" is the ninth episode of Yabba Dabba Dinosaurs season one. It has yet to be aired or streamed in the United States, but was first aired in Poland on March 8, 2020 on Boomerang. It was written by Joan Ford, produced by Mark Marek and Marly Harpen-Graser, and directed by Marek and Zach Smith.
On Halloween night, kids get rid of their new healthy frozen dinners by feeding them to their pig garbage disposals, which turns out to be a bad idea when the supposedly good bacteria in the food turn the pigs into zombies who terrorize the town.

Production
Development
Writer of the episode and creator of the character, Joan Ford, intended for Shaley to be a transexual girl,[1] although the series was cancelled before those plans could be fully realized.[2] Ford would've preferred a trans actor to be the voice of Shaley, but the budget wouldn't allow for an additional guest.[3]
Ford also got to be involved with the design of Shaley, and was pleased with the final look, which she felt was a little bit relatable particularly with Shaley's bang over one of her eyes.[4]
It was copyright in 2018.
Music
The music was composed by Alessandro Tabora. The theme song, "Big Bang", was written and performed by Mark Marek.

I think she's the first LGTBQ character to appear in a Flintstones show. (There have already been some in the comics).". Twitter. Retrieved March 15, 2021.

And then mention that she's trans later down the line. NBD! Sadly, the production order on the series was cut and that never got to happen.". Twitter. Retrieved March 15, 2021.

I feel like the bangs covering one eye is very much my instagram aesthetic so I def see a little of me in her!". Twitter. Retrieved March 15, 2021.
