Meet the funniest trio in town! There's Blue, the thoughtful bookworm, Barry, the brilliant inventor, and Pancakes, the happy-go-lucky adventurer. Despite their differences, they ALWAYS have each other's backs…
Blue, Barry & Pancakes are BEST FRIENDS! They live in a giant tree house, as best friends do. They're always there for each other, and they love all the usual stuff... Games on the beach, birthday cake, alien pool parties and out-of-this-world ADVENTURES!
At the beach, Barry and Pancakes lose Blue's beloved beach ball. So they come up with a plan to get it back, but things go HILARIOUSLY wrong. The three friends must survive a giant whale's stomach, an alien pool party and Duckzilla's volcanic birthday bash if they ever hope to see Blue's beach ball again!
