    Storyline

    • Trivia
      Considered to be a prequel to "Toy Story". The baby in the short film is considered to be Andy Davis, the owner of Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and the other toys in the "Toy Story" film. It was confirmed in Toy Story 4 that Tin Toy does indeed take place in the Toy Story universe, where Tinny appears in said film.
    • Goofs
      The number of panes in the reflection of the window from Tin Toy is inconsistent with the number of panes in the shadow cast on the wooden floor. This was deliberate by the 3D modelers as they wanted a cartoon 'bubble'-like feel to the reflection on Tin Toy and not a realistic one.

    Couldn't finish

    I love Pixar's shorts! I know this was one of their earlier ones. However, the baby was so unbelievably creepy that I couldn't even bring myself to finish it. I'm so used to their characters being likeable...even if they have a bit of a quirky, odd look to them, like Geri in Geri's Game. Despite Geri's large ears, large nose, bushy eyebrows, prominent chin and exaggerated eyes from his corrective lenses, he has a sweet, endearing quality to his face. But the baby in Tin Toy is so unsettling, he's likely to make a starring role in your next nightmare.

    I wish I could review the whole short. I'm sure the content was good...it always is. This is just one you may want to take a hard pass on.
