ToysUnfairly panned on its cinema release, Levinson's whimsical fantasy is far more fun than its disastrous performance at the box office would have you believe. Made in the days before Williams' more recent twee film person abegan to pall, this sees him very likeable as a toymaker who has to rescue his dead father's toy factory from the clutches of his uncle, a former army general who wants to make weapons instead of toys. The always under-rated Cusack gets a good role as Williams' even madder sibling, but the real stars are the toys themselves, a triumph of clever special effects and sheer inventiveness.
