Japanese live action toy show

May 9, 2004 7:50 PM

I know this may be quite a stretch on the little info I remember, but back in the mid 80s, there was a Japanese live action short about 2 toys that escaped from a toy store. I vaguely remember one was a camera or a pair of binoculars with glasses on it. I believe I saw it on PBS or on The Disney Channel.

I remember that! Wow, that was a great movie. Let me look for the name.

This is just to let you know I'm on the case.

Found it!

Where the Toys Come From

"Two curious toys, Peepers and Zoom, wonder about how they become toys. Aided by Robin, their equally curious owner, Zoom and Peepers visit a toy museum - "Home for Old Toys" to discover their existence."

Google Image Search for the cover.

Thanks for reminding me of that.
