JinRoz For all the hype it got I was expecting a lot more!

SeeQuant Blending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction

Ogosmith Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.

Stompgal_87 I first saw this short on YouTube but someone had changed the sound effects and music. Whilst renting the first volume of Pixar shorts on DVD, I got the chance to watch it with the genuine music and sound effects.Although the music is sparse, I liked the opening piece of classical music that I'd heard before as well as the random tunes the one man band toy plays and the sound effects are realistic, especially the baby's babbling, giggling and crying. The toys are cute and brightly coloured but the baby looks somewhat creepy and moves roughly at times. I even saw this short as earlier versions of the 'Toy Story' franchise and 'One Man Band.' The plot is rather straightforward if not as easy to follow in other Pixar shorts such as 'Knick Knack (my favourite of the 80s Pixar shorts)' and 'Geri's Game' to a certain extent.To sum up, this is another decent early Pixar short for its time. 8/10.

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!

ccthemovieman-1 I still think cartoons, or "animated short features" as some call them, should be funny, unless you know in advance you are going to get a "message," such as moral one or a politically- slanted oneI say that because many of these modern-day cartoons seem to be concerned with showing how clever they can be instead just plain "yuks," if you will. I am not knocking this particular effort: it's certainly different, but it wasn't that funny. If anything, at times, it was almost scary, at least if you sat and openly rooted for the little toy soldier which, I presume, we all did. It certainly showed how little babies, in their youthful ignorance, can be a little too rough with things. Ask your little dog or cat, if you have any doubts. What was very well done to me were the camera angles and facial expressions that made this little baby almost look like a terrifying Godzilla-like monster. I guess he would look like that if you were a little toy and were human. Babies can play rough! I don't know if we needed a "cartoon," however, to illustrate that fact. All of us already know that, don't we?Yes, this was "clever," but give me Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Felix The Cat or Pink Panther cartoon any day, something that will make me laugh out loud. Save the "executed brilliantly" and "gives us a wide range of emotions" movies to the feature films.

patrick_dunne "Tin Toy" is one of Pixar's earliest films that has something to do with one of their first movie "Toy Story." The story is this: A toy soldier (well, it's more of a one-man band, wind-up toy) meets a baby who tries to eat him.The computer animation is pretty good. The baby looks pretty bad, but the light and shadows look realistic. The toys look good too.The film isn't too funny however. It's a nice start for Pixar, but I would recommend "Luxo Jr." and "For the Birds" over it.6/10Feel free to send me a Private Message regarding this comment.
