When a supervillain attempts to destroy all the healthy snacks on Earth, only the Aveggies can save us from sweet annihilation in Sesame Street's "The Aveggies: Age of Bon Bon."

With pun-tastic names, Dr. Brownie aka Cookie Monster, Onion Man, Captain Americauliflower, Black Bean Widow, Mighty Corn and Zuchin-eye form the Aveggies. The superhero team work together to thwart the villain's plans of ruining vegetables using his cookie weapon.

Unfortunately, things get complicated for the heroic crew when Dr. Brownie mistakes Captain Americauliflower's round shield for a cookie and eats it. Even when he tries to focus on the villain's ship, he continues to imagine his fellow superheroes' weapons as tasty desserts. Luckily, Dr. Brownie gets his act together long enough to save the day.

"Avengers: Age of Ultron" is showing now in theaters in the UK and Australia, and coming to the US May 1.
