The World of Stainboy (TV Miniseries)

Flash series created by Tim Burton, starring characters from his book "The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories". A pale-skinned, mute boy who constantly creates grey stains is abandoned by his parents at the Burbank Charity Home for Unusual Cases (AKA the Burbank House of Horrors). Soon afterwords, he is taken under the wing of Police Sergeant Glen Dale, who christens him "Stainboy" and pits him against equally freakish denizens of Burbank.
