Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

ScoobyWell Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

Abegail Noëlle While it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.

Michael_Elliott Tin Toy (1988) *** (out of 4)Oscar-winning short from Pixar has an extremely ugly, destructive and drooling baby breaking many of his toys. One particular toy decides he doesn't want drool on him and he doesn't want to be destroyed so he tries to make a getaway. This is a pretty nice little short that does a lot of very good things. What I liked most was the actual story, which is pretty reasonable as I'm sure kids would look scary to a small toy. That's the entire gimmick here and it works for many good laughs. The over sized baby comes off as a Godzilla like monster and this was a nice touch. I'm not sure if they meant to make the baby so ugly but it does work well with the story. I loved the entire sequence under the furniture where other toys have also found a hiding space. The early animation is certainly enjoyable if very simple.

Tommy Nelson "Tin Toy" is a simple short with only two main characters. A little tin toy band member that walks around and plays the symbols is the protagonist, and the destructive little baby is the antagonist. It's a simple story that follows the very childlike statement that "You don't want something unless someone else does." and vice versa.A little tin toy is lonely. A baby crawls into the room and the tin toy can't wait for the baby to play with it. Soon it finds out this baby is a destructive force, tearing apart and drooling on everything it sees. The tin toy has several changes of heart which end in a bit of a twist ending.This is one of Pixar's earliest shorts, and the animation is far from perfect. It doesn't have the fluidity seen in their later productions, but you can't blame them, this was '80s computer animation. One thing that Pixar has kept over the years it's their perfect way of portraying emotion. Just through little movements of the face, they give great emotion, which is what this short relies on, as there is no dialogue. It's a good and sweet natured short.My rating: *** out of ****. 5 mins.

RainDogJr Toys with life and the first human character; everything begins just fine for our toy Tinny and he sees his baby owner just like parents sees their babies. Is a weird baby and of course is cute but not when you put in the shoes of Tinny or any other of his toys. From here we have a very cruel situation for Tinny, for us is quite unique and definitely funny, who's own body is nothing but a real charge in his "escape from the monster baby". Is also quite unique, definitely great and definitely why Tinny is more than just a great character when he kind of realize his own purpose or better his own reason to be there, of course to make a better time for some kid this time a baby and is really bad luck for Tinny to be the toy of that specific baby (hilarious moment, more defenceless toys) but is kind of more bad luck to be a toy without attention. The toys begin for Pixar and this is a near perfect short film. Watch it!

Squonk 'Tin Toy' is a wonderful piece of computer animation. It's especially interesting to view after looking at Pixar's 'Toy Story' which was made several years later. I like to see this film as a new twist on the giant monster movie. Here the monster is a drooling baby in pursuit of a wind up toy. The baby stomps around the room with the grace of Godzilla (which is to say no grace at all). Often seeing the baby from the little toy's point of view helps create this monster movie feel as well. This is a hilarious film, with an ending that's all too true to life.
