The plot of “Toys” is unusual in its details but is grounded in standard fairy-tale stuff. The founder and CEO of a toy company dies, and instead of bequeathing it to his silly, good-natured son Leslie (Williams), he leaves the entire company to his brother Leland Zevo (Michael Gambon), a three-star general and lifetime military man. Leland becomes bored with the company almost immediately; he spends much time lamenting both the cruel fate that has landed him at Zevo Toys but also the need for reduced federal military spending, which, we presume, led to his discharge.
But Leland comes up with a way to make his job at Zevo Toys much more appealing. He realizes that he can transform modern warfare for more fiscally lean times by producing tiny unmanned vehicles that can be used as weapons in future wars. These armed miniature helicopters and tanks will be controlled by children, who have been raised on video games and are located far away from the field of battle.
Do yourself a favor and watch it right now user. It was critically panned when it was released because people didn't get it. I have to admit tho, it's a bit odd feeling watching it.

ive always found it an interesting and unusual film. overlooked for sure. + robin williams.
Leo Russell
it was a weird film. had that strange sort of tim-burton-esque vibe to it. Kind of dark in its lightheartedness.
Not sure if there's any real symbolism to it. Robin Williams knew toys, but not business. His uncle knew business but not toys. To keep the company alive, the uncle was the best choice, much to the chagrin of many employees.
Grayson Perry
I'm late to the party by 20 years; the thread.
