Movie #272 "Shorts" is a Rodriguez Kids' flick (he did Spy Kids) so it's quickly edited, quirky, and hyberbolic & full of energy. The characters are one-dimensional, and by the time you get to the high point, it's going so fast, it very lightly stops and smells the roses; i.e. the theme is said through the narrator at the very end, so catch it if you can! It was way too silly for this viewer, but I'm not in the 10-14 range and think watching boogers is fun any more (come to think of it, I never did --go figure) Anyway, it fits its demographic, and it is clean, fun, but not very memorable. Except for the BIG BOOGER!
