Early Pixar short that serves as a very crude blueprint for Toy Story. The animation looks a bit ropey these days but the humour's still there.

That baby was cute despite it's horrifying look.

Ok, this is not the Pixar as we know it, the short feature is just some sort of demonstration than a real animation. And the baby is goddam scary!

Oh god that baby D:

The baby is plain horrific and badly animated, but the rest of "Tin Toy" is quite cute. Just a slight indication of what was yet to come.

I actually had nightmares about that baby.

Man, this is adorable. Too bad the baby lives in the Valley of the Uncanny.

I almost cried because that baby creeped the shit out of me. And why is he wearing a bicycle helmet as a diaper?

Great for the time, the computer animation is just too noticeable now. Fun short, though.

The primitive CG are excusable, I suppose, since it's 1988, but not the fact that it's aesthetically ugly. And thematically it's already the airheaded cutesiness that would become Pixar's trademark.

There's very little in the way of plot here, and Pixar of the late eighties was very bad at rendering organic objects (especially when viewed in light of their later efforts), but there are certainly the basics of what would become their much better efforts from Toy Story onwards. Worth a watch, but more as a piece of archive footage in the history of animation than for any of its own merits.

That's one scary looking baby...

It's too bad Scarey Ninety Year Old Baby wasn't a recurring character.

Think of it as you might an Atari 2600 game - yeah, an Atari game isn't very entertaining by modern standards, but if you want to know where Super Mario Bros. came from, you have to play it. Similarly, while Tin Toy isn't very funny or well-animated compared to WALL-E or Ratatouille, if you want to know where Toy Story came from, you have to watch it.

A very simple but well done Pixar short.

OK short.

Fun and simple, but there is real conflict inside this little toy.

More Pixar oldies. Plot creats a decent story. The baby is pretty ugly but so is his character in the story. I.e. fits good.

The animation is ugly but it has an ok story.

BORING

Badly animated, and has a horrible plotline. Possibly the worst short ever made.

Holy shit, that is one ugly, badly animated baby. The short is kind of cute at times but the age really gets in the way and the rest is ok but not consistent enough to make up for it.

I really don't like the baby, but the rest is ok.

Sub-par animation, but still cute.

Interesting to watch as a precursor to both Toy Story and Pixar animation in general.

lol is that supposed to be a baby?

Adorable

I'd be scared of that ugly, retarded baby too.

I'd want to run away from that baby, too.
