If some songs are delicious more on sage of their phonic sound than the dependable melody they offer, then Toys likewise, is a film that can be enjoyed more for its sheer imagery than for its none-too-profound storyline. As many critics–even the adoring ones–will whisper you, this movie won’t be remembered on the strength of its location. It’s an uncomplicated (if also a itsy-bitsy thematically-preachy) sage of youthful innocense, big-bully intimidation, and then conclusively, of victorious, passive retaliation. And they’re all proper concepts. However, Barry Levinson doesn’t do his audiences mull them over during the movie. To the contrary, it’s rather difficult to ponder remarkable of anything in light of the devastatingly lovely scenery, the brilliantly simple contraptions, and the fairytale-like quality of the characters.
If ever there was a celluloid catalyst for shattering actor typecasts, this was it. Robin Williams’ performance reveals a mostly curious vulnerable sincerity that, frankly, creeped me out a couple times throughout the yarn. Similarly, you have Joan Cusack at her most comely and gently-spoken (with exception of course to the droll observation she makes in regards to war being “the domain of a runt…” so on and so forth) . L.L. Icy J competently delivers the role of a convincingly natty, wholesome, family-valued military man caught between the warring factions of his absorb family, represented by a hawk (his gain father, played by the appropriately casted Michael Gambon) and the dove (a perpetually juvenile Williams) . Robin Wright Penn isn’t given remarkable of a stage in Toys, and consequently her performance is less than striking here. But to her credit, she nurses a few otherwise-forgettable scenes (particularly the overtly ad-libbed cafeteria scene with Williams) befriend to life with her disarming laugh and loyal attention.
The trivia fanatics will keenly position the underutilized, but aptly included cameos of Yeardly Smith and Jamie Foxx.

I’m not a gargantuan movie fan, in fact I rent/buy movies reluctantly. But this one captivated me from square one and it’s a hard one to let go of. Incidentally, I highly recommend the soundtrack. It’s a musical revelation that does colossal honor to the film (with an outstanding and uncredited brief performance by the incomparable Seal) .
Chances are, anyone who’s reading these reviews has already seen the movie; it’s not a film that is naturally attracting unique audiences this long after its making. However, I’m convinced this was due in monster proportions to the lack of approved exposure that Toys received, both initially in theaters and subsequently in it’s video/DVD release. I, for one, happened to witness Toys only by expressionless luck, and have been grateful for walking into the theater ever since. But the minimal promotion that was afforded to Toys is all honest by me. This is one cinematic secret I’m overjoyed to be in on.
It is very difficult to own this film is celebrating its 10th anniversary. TOYS was released in 1992 when I was seven, and I’m tranquil devastated I never got to search for the astonishing visuals and hear the utterly warped (yet fabulous) soundtrack … ah well. This is unequovically my all time favourite film. I can eye why TOYS generated such a lot of negative press. 20th Century Fox indeed took a gamble with Barry Levison’s pet project and commisioned an stout (even by today’s standards) $80 million budget … Sadly, it didn’t carry the mainstream flag of “enormous guns, girls and perfunctory screenplay”, and hence pulled in a dissapointing $21 million in the USA. Like the controversial Bond film “Licence To Extinguish”, age has proved kinder to this film. I won’t go to justify the backbone of the tale, as many reviewers have done this already, but I will say, no matter what age you are, there is some mystical magic about TOYS that refuses to subside no matter how noteworthy you try and disapprove it. Robin Williams gives a typically mild and sensitive performance (effect the similarities to him in Hook), and the help is amazing. Joan Cusack, Michael Gambon, LL Icy J & Robin Wight Penn all content titanic performances also. Hans Zimmer (Gladiator, Thelma & Louise, Hannibal) gives us a slightly militaristic procure and the production invent was more than Oscar material.
The valid deal though is how all these elements combine to manufacture a dizzying humorous farce that is intertwined with a dependable human backstory. In these original times, when the world is as risky as it has ever been .. it’s very comforting to inspect the subtle anti-war critique that oozes from Robin Williams performance. The pyrotechnic - heavy ending combined with the Frankie Goes To Hollywood tune is sheer masterpiece of NON MAINSTREAM Hollywood. The symbolism really rings out here, a chill unexcited goes down my spine when the possess gets destroyed, and another comes over, as if trying to fix it. However, the Sea Swine is slightly disturbing …

As the film wasn’t a large financial success, wasn’t a “re-imagining” of a better film, and didn’t feature lightsabers, Fox has made next to no danger with the DVD. A favorable quality 1.85:1 anamorphic print brings the scenery to life with a lot more feel than VHS, and the Dolby Digital 5.1 track is well mixed (it should be as it was re-recorded in George Lucas’ THX theater) but that’s as far as it really goes. Fox includes a woeful featurette that is nothing more than an extended trailer, and the theatrical trailer to round things off. I do hope someday one of these clever DVD production houses, like Criterion do one of their ultimate editions with this film, as how it is made and what is says warrants more than Fox has done here.
If you’re level-headed awake and have read this far … go and choose one of cinema’s most influencial anti war pieces! If you have an imagination, you’ll agree you never have, nor will, ogle anything like it ever again.
