Eccentric toymaker Kenneth Zevo (Donald O'Connor) last wish is that his brother, Leland (Sir Michael Gambon), takes over the running of the business. Leland is out of touch with toymaking and reality too. The business should really have been given to his nephew, Leslie (Robin Williams), who was much more like Kenneth. When Leland starts making weapons instead of toys, Leslie decides to take action.

    The style and visuals of this film are fantastic. The plot is very slow and it ends with a very long action sequence that feels like a different movie. Still, the film does a great job of world building and a lot of the jokes still hold up.

    Fun surreal movie with a ton of liminal spaces. Silly story, a bit spooky for the kids but nothing outrageous.

    Man, this is a weird movie. They say Barry Levinson worked for over 10 years on the script and had to make a lot of movies for the studio before the studio will allow him to make this movie. Anytime you hear that a writer/director spent that much time on a property and finally brought it to screen, you can guarantee that there's going to be problems with it. Something happens in those rewrites where the Creator gets so close to the material that they can no longer discern what is good and what is bad and lose the connection to the audience that is necessary to tell a story. Overall the performances aren't bad, but man, this is a weird movie.

    A gem for the first hour, but the end is a letdown

    Not quite as good as another Robin Williams gem, Death to Smoochy, this Levinson bomb is an entertaining, underrated flick.
  • Baloo UrizaJuly 28, 2025
    I think this movie hit everyone's collective memory hole because the premise and plot iss very in the "bad video game writing" category. Good for Robin Williams completionists and fans of movies that tried to be good but just didn't pan out.
