Arnie & Barney

The insect community is facing a terrible drought and while the ant platoon is on their way to find a way to save it, Arnie and Barney, the most “incapable” members of it decide to take matters into their own hands! Thereby discovering some shady water business and partnering with an incognito superhero mosquito, they inadvertently manage to save the meadow and emerge as the unlikely heroes.

This hilarious animated adventure, full of slapstick comedy, brings Arnie and Barney—two fan-favorite side characters from the popular Maya the Bee franchise—into the spotlight.
