Arnie & Barney
About Arnie & Barney
An action-packed and uproariously funny animated adventure – join the endearing escapades of Arnie and Barney, two ants with a knack for getting into—and out of—trouble!
In the midst of a severe drought during the hottest summer the meadow has ever faced, streams are drying up, grass is brittle, and the once-bustling insect metropolis teeters on the brink of chaos. For the ants in Captain Pantz’s platoon, the mission is clear: find water and save the community.
But there’s one unexpected twist – the hilariously inept Arnie and Barney have decided to tackle the problem themselves. Determined to find water for the meadow and impress their captain, they abandon their post to seek a water source.
But what begins as a simple quest quickly spirals into a grand adventure when the pair encounter a crafty caterpillar mob boss hoarding stolen water and Hypnita, a scheming mosquito with hypnotic eyes and a thirst for control.
As the stakes rise, Arnie and Barney mount a daring rescue to free their platoon from the villains’ grip and restore water to the meadow, hoping that with a mix of luck, chaos, and well-meaning blunders, they can save the day and become the heroes they always dreamed they’d be.
