Blue, Barry & Pancakes 2 cover

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…

One day, Blue and Barry are enjoying a quiet afternoon when Pancakes bounds in with a surprise – she's made a rocket out of balloons! And a whole planet named Balloonia! Blue and Barry agree to take a quick peek at Pancakes' creations, but what's meant to be a fun tour quickly turns into an ordeal as the gang finds themselves face to face with the biggest and meanest Balloonian of all – BALLOON KONG!
