Storyline
A Boy and His Blob follows the unlikely friendship between a young boy and a gentle, shape-shifting alien known as the Blob. The Blob has fled its home planet of Blobolonia, which has fallen under the rule of a cruel emperor, and crash-lands on Earth in search of help. There it meets the boy, and the two quickly form a close bond as they set out together to stop the tyrant. By feeding the Blob different jelly beans, the boy transforms his companion into ladders, trampolines, and other tools, and the pair rely on each other to overcome obstacles first on Earth and then on Blobolonia itself.Read more
