“Shorts” is set in the suburb of Black
Falls, where all the houses look the same and everyone works
for BLACK BOX Unlimited Worldwide Industries Incorporated,
whose Mr. Black’s BLACK BOX is the ultimate communication
and do-it-all gadget that’s sweeping the nation. Other than
keeping his parents employed, however, Mr. Black’s BLACK BOX
has done nothing for 11-year-old Toe Thompson, who just
wants to make a few friends…until a mysterious
rainbow-colored rock falls from the sky, hits him in the head
and changes everything. The Rainbow Rock does Mr. Black’s
BLACK BOX one better: it grants wishes to anyone who holds
it. Before long, wishes-gone-wrong have left the
neighborhood swarming with tiny spaceships, crocodile
armies, giant boogers…and outrageous magical mayhem around
every corner. But it’s not until the grown-ups get their
hands on the Rock that the trouble really starts. Now Toe
and his newfound friends must join forces to save their town
from itself, discovering along the way that what you wish
for is not always what you want.
