Toys Will Be Toys is quite the curious little film. It dives into the world of toys with a cheeky twist, exploring the gender stereotypes that come with them. The animation, though not as polished as you'd find in big studio releases, has a certain charm to it. The contrast between the violent, battle-ready toys and the delicate, fairy-tale figures creates a bizarre yet intriguing atmosphere. Sheila Graber's perspective is refreshing—she pushes viewers to think about what toys symbolize. The pacing can be a bit uneven, but it adds to the whimsical chaos that unfolds at midnight on Christmas Eve. It's all about those playful yet pointed critiques of societal norms wrapped in a colorful package.
