Editorial Review:
Description:
Enter a spectacular world of whimsy, fun and fantasy in this acclaimed visual extravaganza directed by Barry Levinson. Robin Williams stars as Leslie Zevo, a fun-loving adult who must save his late father's toy factory from his evil uncle (Michael Gambon), a war-loving general who builds weapons disguised as toys. Aided by his sister (Joan Cusack) and girlfriend (Robin Wright), Leslie sets out to thwart his uncle and restore joy and innocence to their special world.
Amazon.com:
There are two reasons to see Toys: some phenomenal visual spectacle and the utterly adorable performance of Joan Cusack. The story: When the founder of the Zevo toy factory dies, he leaves it to his militaristic brother Leland (Michael Gambon) instead of to his whimsical son Leslie (Robin Williams). When Leland starts making war toys (and worse, actual weapons masquerading as toys), Leslie is forced to stop being capricious and take on some authority. Toys is supposedly about innocence and peace, but really it's director Barry Levinson's cry of anxiety about modern-day playthings, particularly video games--which is almost psychic of him, given how video games have started to devour the entertainment market. Fans of Williams will enjoy his performance; the visual design really is gorgeous; and Cusack, as Leslie's sister Alsatia, is so lovely she almost carries the film through its muddled themes. Almost. --Bret Fetzer

"We have a tradition of whimsy here at Zevo Toys..."
Robin Williams' character is explaining the nature of the company to his boorish Uncle, but he is also describing one of the main reasons I love this movie.
I can't really imagine anyone other than Robin Williams and Joan Cusack in the lead roles (Joan is probably at her most charming here). The only things I would change are the couple of scenes that warrant the PG-13 rating, and then only so I felt more comfortable ... Read More

Those that have rated this movie low on basis that it is childish or infantile has simpy missed the point! And those that have rated it low because of it being unoriginal has NOT been out in the real world! There is NOTHING original in the world anymore, so get off your high horse!
And saying the toys are nazis...dude...crazy much!?!?
This movie is touching and visually striking. The music is wonderful! I thank my father for taking me when I was younger. I STILL watch this movie!

"Toys" is a brilliant and charming movie, whimsical and serious, visually and conceptually original whose message about means and ends and violence and innocence is eternal and eternally fresh. This movie had me at the advertising poster, with its wonderful updating of the classic Magritte bowler hat and "windows through reality" imagery. I'm a big Magritte fan and the choice of the surrealist painter's images as a starting (and ending) point for the visual direction of this film was perfect! "This ... Read More

Robin Williams is as funny as he can be. A very delightful movie to be watched by all.
