Ron’s Gone Wrong, funny and sweet in concept

by Morgen Schuler

kid… sort of. He’s just as normal as everyone else except his family can’t afford the shiny new toy that’s taking over, Bebot. All he wants for his birthday is to “be like everyone else” and join the Bebot family. In some kind of kismet moment, his family manages to get one that fell of the truck. That’s not a euphemism, it literally did; so Barney’s new best friend Ron is just a little bit off, but that’s what makes him special. He can’t connect to the rest of the world (through wifi) like everyone else’s so they just get a chance to have fun. Through this new friendship and their somewhat ridiculous adventures Barney discovers what’s really important and it’s not being the most liked picture on the web or having the most virtual friends.
