Drip, Drip

Sherbert is a little sherbet with big problems: he has serious anger management issues, and whenever he gets mad he starts to melt. His friends are getting tired of dealing with his tantrums, and the other treats in the candy shop are worried that his melting will attract unwanted attention from the store's owner. When Sherbert's best friend leaves him to fend for himself, he will have to learn how to deal with his anger issues on his own - before he melts away!
