Storyline

When a wind-up one-man band toy looks up and sees just how boisterous, BIG, and destructive the baby can be, he does everything he can to flee--even if it means hiding under the couch. But when the baby falls down and gets hurt, the tin toy has to decide on survival, or doing what a toy's got to do. Written by Kathy Li

Did You Know?

Trivia

The shopping bag the toy came in (visible at the very beginning, and played with by the baby at the very end) has a square insigna on one corner. This is Pixar's original logo. See more »

Goofs

The number of panes in the reflection of the window from Tin Toy is inconsistent with the number of panes in the shadow cast on the wooden floor. This was deliberate by the 3D modelers as they wanted a cartoon 'bubble'-like feel to the reflection on Tin Toy and not a realistic one. See more »

Ageless entertainment...
11 November 2002 | by (Australia) – See all my reviews

Having just watched Tin Toy on DVD, I'm amazed at how much detail I remembered from when I first saw it at an animation 'best-of' over a decade ago: the scary yet lovable baby; the enormous furniture, looming over the characters like mountains; the panic of the hapless protagonist. My favourite scene is when the terrified eyes of all the other cowering toys dart towards the newcomer in unison - priceless. In a few short minutes Tin Toy says more about empathy and compassion than most full-length features...more please!
