Toys

I found a DVD the other day and bought it and re-watched it...this movie is so good not to mention a killer soundtrack. I recommend this movie for the whole family...unless you prefer morbid themes and lots of gore.... otherwise this movie is easily a classic... not to mention the acting is brilliant on all accounts most notable Robin Williams…but then again.. This is Robin Williams we're talking about.. Come on!!! ^_^ The plot of the movie is as follows: A toy maker's ding wish is to have his brother take over the factory in the hopes that it will help his son Lesley Robin Williams) grow up a bit. Unfortunately The toymaker's brother is an eccentric general whit a war kick….he tries to make weapons instead of toys and Lesley who previously didn't stand up to him must now try to fight his uncle with the help of his family…. And his childhood toys

I feel truly sorry for those that don't like, or just don't get, this wonderful film. Robin Williams couldn't have been better, and Joan Cusack was delightful and intriguing. The cinematography and editing were perfect. This is not a movie to take seriously. "Suspension of disbelief" must be in full effect. -And there's no deep message at the end. It's just a wonderful, fanciful romp that makes you feel like a kid again. highly recommended.

I'm not sure what people expected from this film when they put it down. It's a movie about a Toy factory, it's funny.. and it looks a little deeper into the weird and wacky world we are raising our children in. I find it to be entertaining on many levels. First there is the slapstick sight gags (the smoking jacket), than the 'come on, we've all done it' line (watch it to find out what I'm talking about) which, like many others is an adult joke that doesn't rule out kids finding it funny too. So if you like good music (closing of the year, is in my opinion all all time classic), laughs and something to take you back to your youth than I suggest this movie. 8/10.

So maybe I just like colorful factories?!? This movie charmed me. I liked the plot, the actors, the landscapes, the duck bed, the vitamin sandwich, the floating elephant, the dorky songs... I loved the opening scene, and the big battle scene as well. It was strangely creepy fun like my all-time favorite, "Willie Wonka". That said, I know people who considered it pure torture. We're still friends, though.

You would have thought with this cast something of a giant of a film. Robin Williams simply being silly or comical. In honesty, unless you have young children - give this a miss....its not funny and very bland!

The two men I refer to are Barry Levinson and Robin Williams. Barry Levinson for blessing us with such a vision of TRUE childhood innocence and how it's perverted and warped by a world gone mad. Robin Williams (a child at heart) is possibly one of the greatest character actors that has EVER personified said moniker. One minute he can have you laughing until you cry then have you in tears until he makes a joke, making you laugh again. The critics ROASTED this movie because they all grew up (especially on the inside) and just took it too seriously Being a child on the inside myself, I have ALWAYS loved this movie and was one of the few people in the theater in the second week of its theatrical run. Bravo Mr Levinson. Bravo Mr Williams. Never let ANYONE take away that innocence we all have and most of us can't or WON'T acknowledge.

I don't know why there are so many bad critics for this movie. I think it was a masterpiece and it reminded me how much we missed Robin Williams. First of all, there is a grand effort for the production design and beautiful colours mash up. Comedy elements are perfectly mixed with weird circumstances. It is a fortunateller movie for pointing out how our lifes are today. And I find myself dreaming how the actual toys should have been like...
