Surprisingly violent
By Jon Sandys from Woking, UK , 12 Aug 2004[Highly rated reviewer]
Not violent in a blood-spattered way, but if you're expecting something like Toy Story, be warned. The plot's fairly straightforward - over-engineered toys go on the rampage after getting military chips put into them.
I was expecting something a bit watered down and kid-friendly, but was pleasantly surprised - this is rated 12 but must have skated relatively close to a 15, especially towards the end when the 'good' toys and some people are trapped in a house by the war-mongering toys, being attacked by a variety of fairly lethal weaponry.
Acting and effects are up to scratch - nice to see the late great Phil Hartman in person, rather than just hearing his voice (he was a regular in the Simpsons until his untimely death in 1998). The traditional 'no-one believes the kid' plot is kept to a minimum too, which is always good.
Overall, definitely worth a watch, but it does get relatively intense towards the end (note 'relatively' - won't give adults nightmares, but some children might not be happy).- Was this review helpful to you?

A bit average
By a customer from Leicester, England , 20 Feb 2007I did enjoy the film most of the time, a couple of times I found it dragged a little bit. I probably wouldn't allow younger children to watch this, perhaps from the age of 10 upwards may be more suitable.- Was this review helpful to you?
