Lisa C. @lcsolo Oct 22 This seems to be inspired by Raggedy Ann stories and in turn seems to have directly and unmistakenly inspired the plot for Toy Story. So under rated. I love it. Every year.❤️ See more 02/19/2022 A fun holiday family special. It's crazy just how much You Story curbed from this story. See more 01/08/2013 one of my fave x-mas movies!! :) See more 12/04/2012 i like this movie alot ever since i was a kid i'll never stop liking this movie See more 11/18/2012 I used to watch it every year on Nickelodeon because nothing else was on. See more 11/14/2012 This charming Christmas TV special is guaranteed to make you believe two things: 1) Jim Henson is a creative genius. 2) Pixar has committed one of the biggest copyright infringements in cinema history with "Toy Story." John Lasseter and Co. should be ashamed. This special, while being a warm, funny, and imaginative take on what happens to toys once kids leave the vicinity, contains a surprising bite of frigidness; the fear of being caught by humans, and the resulting death-like state that awaits all toys who step out of line, make this show unique, and timeless. Peppered with heartbreaking moments throughout, Christmas Toy also captures the tender feelings experienced by children on Christmas Day. This is not standard kiddie stuff, and adults should not shy away from watching this one. My one and only complaint is that the ending is a bit sugarcoated, the happy resolution is sudden, and seems to contradict several "rules" in the toy universe; however, I understand Henson's choice, as Christmas should ultimately be a happy, joyous occasion free from fear and sadness.
