Toys

This is a classic tale of the Zevo toy company. When the owner passes away, he has the options of leaving it to either his brother, Gerneral Zevo, or his blessed innocent son, Leslie (Robin Williams), who is aided by his sister, Alisacia (Joan Cusack). The general, though extremely edgy about minding the toy factory, decides to do it and ends up taking over the toy company, and perverting it’s innocence minded production into a war-game frenzy.
He also turns the plant into a prison, who’s security is air tight, headed up by his very own son, a master of camoulflage (LL Cool J). So Leslie is trapped between the airtight security and defending his Father’s vision, which is so poorly represented in the aims and thoughts of the general.
He also must prove he is serious about opposing the general in order to continue seeing the beautiful and wacky girl in the duplicating office (Robin Wright).
The climax is one of hilarities, and extremely bizarre, but this is a good movie, with lots of humour and some truly strange plot devices.

I give it a two, but it’s not the best Rbin Williams flick.
