Arnie And Barney
Arnie and Barney (Cert PG) may be familiar to parents from the 1998 DreamWorks animation Antz, but just 27 years later they are still causing chaos. 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. And the hilariously inept Arnie and Barney have decided to tackle the problem themselves.
But 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.
With the voices of David Collins, Somerset Arnold, David Cameron, Juliette Crosbie and Shane Dundas, it is out on 30th October.
