From the director of "Spy Kids" comes a family adventure called "Shorts". A boy who is often bullied at school gets his inner strength with the help of a rainbow rock that can make his wishes come true. The first teaser trailer has arrived.

In the town called Black Falls, 11-year-old Toe Thompson just wants to make a few friends. Someday, a mysterious rainbow-colored rock falls from the sky, hits him in the head and changes everything. 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.

Directed by Robert Rodriguez and starring Jimmy Bennett as Toe, "Shorts" will hit theaters across U.S. on August 7.
