Shorts : The Adventures of the Wishing Rock
Sometimes wishing does make It so
But be sure you’re wishing for something worth wishing for
That’s just a quote from the ending of the movie titled “Shorts : The Adventure of Wishing Rock”
It’s definitely a kid movie which contain adventure and imaginary thing. The story begin when pack of children of Black Falls town discovered a colorful rock. Apparently, It’s not just an ordinary rock because the rock is wish granting.
As they’re just kid, they wish for something imaginative such as the never ending supply of chocolate bars, the castle with the canyon and the crocodiles for the guardian. And then, there were a fight competing whose the rock belong to. Unfortunately, the rock was tossed aside then landed to the crocodile’s mouth. Guess what then crocodile wished then. It’s totally funny when the kids found out what the crocodile’s wish. The kids -actually they’re brothers- were running away because the crocodiles chased them. And guess what the crocodiles did? Yes, they chased the kids by running, with two legs, like human being.
Loogie, the youngest then had an ide to get the rock back by put himself in to the crocodile’s stomach. He got the rock back and wished for something to take them up. Finally came a flying pterodactyl taking them to the top of their wished castle. It was really full of adventure. Realized the powerful things that the rock can do, the three brothers then decided to throw away the rock.
The rock then being found out by Toby in a situation while he was being bullied by Cole Black, the son of Mr.Black the owner of BLACK BOX Unlimited Worldwide Industries Incorporated. This where was the story really begin.
Like just another kid fantasy movie, some scenes didn’t make any sense at all. Like the wishing rock itself seems to be very impossible. And the plot wasn’t designed to be as flat as the highway road. Toby was the person who tell the story actually. He brought the story forward and backward. So, we have to put it on the right order by ourself. But, It’s not a difficult task since the story was light and fun.
It was a nice movie. It’s suitable to watch when you have much of spare time but you don’t really want to think something complicated. Just relax with this movie and get smile in the end.
This movie try to remind us not to so greedy. The wishing rock itself tried to tell us that If we have a chance to make something really happen, be sure that It is something good. Because If It is not, It’s just make anything worse. That’s why we have to be sure we’re wishing for something worth wishing for. So, what’s your good wishes today?
