TOYS & TERRIFIC BATTLE!

Here Is An Edited Version Without the Anti-GI Joe Message

stunning bit of stop frame once the battle gets started, film makers should have kept their Joe opinions to themselves though, in my opinion

Brilliant stop frame work, must have taken a while to do.

Great stop go film.

great film... what was the anti-joe message, was it subliminal and it didn't work on me?????

The anti War Toys theme didn't work on a lot of people. I first saw it at primary school in grade 4 back in early 1967. My friends and I loved it!

It wasn't only young boys who loved this film...

As reported by Norman McLaren


When Grant Munro made this brilliantly animated film, there was heated societal debate about war toys and their effect on children. When one looks at the film now, one can see its current relevance to a discussion about video games. We filmmakers always think our films are totally clear. But, in fact, viewers bring their own beliefs and history to the films they watch. Imagine Grant Munro’s dismay when he received the following letter: “I saw your film entitled ‘Toys’ on Channel 10, December 28, 1971. Where did you get those marvelous war toys? My children are now so disappointed in their Christmas presents. The gifts they received can’t compete with the great creations you employed. Please advise me of where you purchased these ingenious war toys. Birthdays are coming and I do want to get some.”
