Chris has come to the store with his dad to spend his allowance. His heart is set on getting a bouncy ball, but all of the balls in the ball cage are bright pink…except for one deflated green ball. Ultimately Chris must make a choice: is it okay for boys to play with the bright pink balls or will he take home the deflated green one?

Notes
Whether this film is a parable of "gender crisis" is not apparent on its face, although Director Dustin Shroff sees it that way (see interview in Links)-so let us concede that it is· A parallel to "gender crisis" might have been better emphasize if dad had urged a different choice on his son· I suspect mine would have.
