Tin Toy

Tin Toy is a 1988 Pixar short film.

Plot
It's about a small toy named Tinny, who is trying to escape from Billy, a baby who wants to play with him and dribble on him. When Tinny tries to walk, his musical instruments on his back play notes. He then begins to run, but is chased by Billy. Tinny soon finds cover under the couch, and when he looks up, he sees that there are several other toys hiding, also afraid of Billy. While walking and trying to find the toy, Billy falls down and begins to cry. Tinny, feeling bad for the baby, tries to go and cheer him up. When he does, Billy just ignores him and plays with the boxes Tinny came in. Mad, Tinny tries to follow Billy to get his attention, but is still ignored. Near the end of the credits, other toys hiding under the couch come out from underneath and begin to play.

Sequel
A follow-up entitled A Tin Toy Christmas was planned as a holiday special, but unfortunately never got made.

Awards
Tin Toy won the 1988 Academy Award for Best Animated Short Film, the first time a computer animated film had won in that category.
