Shorts Online Game
To promote the upcoming release of the movie Shorts on DVD and Blu-Ray, a brand-new online game has been created. The game – called Battle For The Wishing Rock - puts you (playing as one of the characters from the movie) in the middle of the fight of your life as you go head to head against your computer-controlled Shorts Movie opponent. You start the game by choosing your character, each of which has a special move and its own wishing rock-powered move.
While you play, you need to remember to keep an eye on your damage meter - if it gets too low you lose! You can also take advantage of your super wishing rock power when the wishing rock appears on the screen to assure your victory!
Kind of like Street Fighter, this battle game rewards you with exclusive clips from the movie as you move up levels. You can also send the game to a friend or challenge a friend to battle against you online.

The Short Story
Eleven-year-old Toe Thompson is the designated punching bag for the bullies of Black Falls, where his and everyone else's parents work for Black Box Industries, makers of the do-it-all gadget that's sweeping the nation. But during a freak storm, a mysterious Rainbow Rock, which grants wishes to anyone who finds it, falls from the sky. Suddenly, the neighborhood that Toe already thinks is weird is about to get a lot weirder. As the Rainbow Rock makes its way around town - from kid to kid and parent to parent - wishes-come-true quickly turn the neighborhood upside down in a wild rampage of everything from tiny aliens to giant boogers.
Shorts the movie will be available on Blu-ray, DVD, On-Demand and as a Digital Download on November 24, 2009.
