The Christmas Toy (1986)
Toy Story inspiration
22 October 2004 - 5 out of 5 users found this review helpful.
Two reviewers have already mentioned 'Toy Story'. I can't help but wonder if John Lassetter had seen this special before he made that movie. This isn't in any way to take away from the genius of either Henson or Lassetter, both of whom have been named as latter day Disneys, a sentiment I agree with.
There are some intriguing similarities:
1 - The overall idea of toys coming alive.
2 - The theme of a toy being replaced in a child's affections and how the toy might feel.
3 - Toys to the rescue!
4 - A science-fictional toy believing they are real. Can't you just see Meteora and Buzz Lightyear hooking up?!
