SHORTS: The WEIRDEST Kids Movie? - Diamondbolt

[@oopsalleyes]

Oh my god, I KNEW THAT RAINBOW ROCK THING WASNT A DREAM

[@oopsalleyes]

To add onto this, like, we’re all joking off this but I was legit uncertain whether or not this was real and I could never explain what it was to my parents so I just painted a random rock rainbow colors and and tried and failed to describe what I had seen

[@baileyjackson2780]

Holy shit, this was the exact same for me. I could remember parts of the movie from when I was younger but could never find it and honestly thought I dreamed it

[@mrcritical6751]

This used to play so much on Teletoon AND on YTV (Canada's equivalent to Nickelodeon; again, we have a Canadian Nickelodeon channel, but it is not usually in a regular channel package, and is more of a "dumping ground" for older shows, basically making it "YTV 2").
