Dozens of kids sign up to compete in a citywide scavenger hunt. The winning team will receive a historic prize, the team's likeness sculpted into a statue for the local park. Unfortunately, most players quickly become bad sports, resorting to some not-so-nice trickery, sabotage and booby-traps to gain the upper hand. Will the best team win or the worst?
In search of some summertime spending money, a young boy and his friend agree to paint a neighbour's garage. The neighbour allows the boys to come into her house for drinks and toilet stops There's just one rule: don't let her high-energy, low-obedience puppy, Yorgy, out of the house. Unfortunately, that's exactly what they do! Will the boys find the playful pup before it destroys the town and their chance to get paid?
They're the world's greatest heroes! The grim avengers of the night! The planet's first line of defence against supervillains and alien threats! They're . . . the Bug Brigade!

Proud members of the Bug Society of Littleton, the friends are thrilled to explore a private wing of the museum where they can learn all about their favourite insects. But when they get mixed up in a scientist's experiment involving radioactive bugs, they find themselves in over their heads (and antennas!). The Bug Brigade must swarm together to fight off an evil insect villain. Will their newfound buggy superpowers be up to the test?
