Hi All,
Just spotted a link to the toylandmovie.com site. Sounds really interesting so I will get myself a copy, review and let you know if it worth the money, unless of course anyone here on the forum has a seen it already???
Site says..."Toyland is a never-before-seen look at a place where fun is born and competition is fierce: The $22 billion dollar toy business. Perform a song that sells a million copies and you're awarded a platinum record and the cover of Rolling Stone. Design a toy that sells 300 million copies and you're unknown... until now. Meet the people behind the biggest playthings in history including Slinky, Play-Doh, Ant Farm, Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots, Mouse Trap, Nerf, Twister, Toss Across, Kerplunk and more. Follow the ups and downs of game designer, Tim Walsh as he tries to take his own invention to market, with nerve-racking pitches to Hasbro, Spin Master Toys and others along the way. Welcome to Toyland."

The movie was a joint venture between Disney and Pixar, a young company—then chaired by Steve Jobs—that had been recruited by the animation giant for its video capabilities. Pixar had been given a $26 million deal for three computer-animated, feature-length movies, but its filmmakers and engineers had yet to pull off a single one. Neither had anyone else for that matter. Succeeding would mean creating the software and hardware they would need as they went along, and inventing a new kind of movie altogether. link
