Storyline
Featured review
Well animated garbage.
I know my summary sounds really mean, but I truly hated "The Toy Shoppe". Aside from some nice quality animation, it's the horrid saccharine mess of a cartoon that they made too many of in the 1930s. To make it worse, the original Oswald was funny, clever and among the best cartoons of the late 1920s. However, Universal Studios fired the guy in charge of production (Walt Disney) and they gave the series to Walter Lantz....and some of the Lantz Oswald cartoons were very good and a few were just terrible...like this one.
There isn't a lot of story here. Oswald has a toy shop and seems to spend more time singing than making toys. Later, after he leaves the toys all come to life and guess what they do? Yup...they, too, sing!! And, the singing isn't funny or clever...it's just awful. Cutesy and cloying from start to finish....it's a short that looks and acts absolutely nothing like it used to. Apart from some nice animation, there's nothing about this one I liked....nothing.
