Shorts
Eleven-year-old Toby Thompson is the designated punching bag for the bullies
of the suburban community of Black Falls. But during a freak storm, a mysterious
Rainbow Rock, which grants wishes to anyone who finds it, falls from the sky.
Suddenly, the neighbourhood that Toby already thinks is weird is about to get a
lot weirder.
From Robert Rodriguez, director of Spy Kids, comes a magical fantasy told
through a series of shorts that each brings to life the sometimes wonderful,
often terrible and totally out-of-control wishes that become far more than Toby
and his neighbours ever imagined.
