A little tin musician named Tinny just wants to be wound up and heard. Then a baby enters the room. Drooling, lurching, impossible to reason with. Tinny flees under the sofa and finds a graveyard of toys who had the same idea. When the infant moves on to something else entirely, Tinny faces a surprise: being ignored feels worse than being mauled. Stream Tin Toy (1988) online on iFILM.
