Triangle

A shape sets off to play a sneaky trick on his friend Square, but the prank sets off a chain of trouble that tests who's really outsmarting whom.

For the kid who loves a good prank almost as much as getting caught pulling one, Triangle turns a simple trick into a quiet game of who-did-what-to-whom.
