YMMV / Tin Toy

Go To

  • Accidental Nightmare Fuel: The baby. Ye gods... no wonder they're all hiding...
  • Just Here for Godzilla: Many people came to rewatch the short after seeing Tinny’s cameo in Toy Story 4.
  • Tear Jerker: Despite his infamously horrific design, it's still pretty sad to hear Billy cry after he falls down. Tinny is the only one there to comfort the child; the other toys are too scared and Billy's parents (or whoever is supposed to be taking care of him at the moment) are either out of earshot or too apathetic to do anything.
  • Unintentional Uncanny Valley: The baby (Billy) is one of the most infamous examples in the history of CGI, owing to the 3D software's limitations (and the byproduct of the soft clay used to sculpt it). His skin is as plastic as the toys themselves, and his stiff, robotic movement combined with the appearance of a realistic baby just looks unsettling. In this case, though, it actually works to the short's benefit, as the titular toy is also very unnerved by it.
