Tin Toy

When searching the internet for examples of tin soldiers I stumbled across ‘Tinny’. He is so cute I just had to make him in LEGO.

 

Tinny is a one-man-band toy starring in a computer-animated short film of 5 minutes called ‘Tin Toy’ that was produced by Pixar in 1988. The film tells the story of Tinny attempting to escape from Billy, a destructive baby. Tin Toy went on to claim Pixar’s first Oscar within the 1988 Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, becoming the first CGI film to win an Oscar. Due to Tin Toy, Pixar gained attention from Disney and this resulted in the first computer-animated film ‘Toy Story’.
