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.

Best answer: 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.
