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.

TheLittleSongbird Although some of their features/short films are better than others, anything by Pixar by my standards is worth watching. Tin Toy is one of their early efforts, and while not one of their best short films like Geri's Game or Presto it is definitely worth watching. The animation is not terrible, but their more later efforts had a more sophisticated look. There are some nice colours, and Tinny is beautifully done with dead-on facial expressions, but fluidity is lacking at times and the baby is more scary than cute. The music is beautiful though, there are a few amusing moments amidst the more compassionate tone and the characters are engaging with Tinny being one of the Pixar title characters I identify most with. Overall, definitely worthwhile, but Pixar have done better in my view. 8/10 Bethany Cox

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!

kamerad With "Tin Toy", Lasseter pushes the boundaries further than he did with "Luxo Jr.". The character of Tinny has truly believable facial expressions including joy, fear and puzzlement. I especially like the part when Tinny first comes out of the box and sees the baby put another toy in his mouth. The horrified look on Tinny's face is a priceless comic moment. True, the baby doesn't look quite right (at least it sounds cute), but I think Lasseter did the best he could with the technology of the time. I still felt bad for the baby when he fell down. After all, ugly or not, he is just a baby!
