Shorts Movie In Theaters August 21st

By Kathy 29 Comments

The movie ‘Shorts‘, from Warner Bros., will be in theaters starting August 21st.

Shorts Movie Poster

Visit their official Website to learn more and watch the trailor: Shorts Movie

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.

    This movie sounds so cute. Something the whole family would enjoy. I really love the story line about the kids being able to wish for things. Something we could all relate to. Thanks.

    We are so excited to see “Shorts!” My son just turned 6 on August 10th, which just happened to be the first day of school. It’s been such a busy time of year and we haven’t been able to celebrate, so we told him he could take a friend to see a movie and he chose “Shorts!” It’s gonna be an awesome day and we are all so excited! By the way, thanks for the great giveaway! Very cool-looking stuff!

      The contest has ended. The winners will be selected tomorrow and announced here and in a new blog post. Thank you all for taking the time to visit momz.com and entering this contest! I wish we could send each one of you a prize and make a bunch of kids very happy, but we can’t. The good news is the movie is now playing in theaters across the country and your kids will love it!

      Thanks again!

          No I sure don’t Christine. Perhaps eBay or Google it and some for sale may show up in sidebar.
