I know this is a long shot

I'm trying to remember a movie that I watched as a kid (late 80's). Now, I don't know much about it, and this is my first time posting here, so please be kind. It may have been about dolls or something. I only really remember one scene: this sort of dystopian assembly line these automatons were being cranked off of. They looked like children (or dolls?) but whatever sinister entity was doing it had maybe removed the souls from dolls or something. I'm really sorry that this is so vague, but I'm just hoping that this may spark some glimmer in some troper's mind and they can finally lay this to rest for me.

If you want to ask about a show you can't remember, this is where you want to go. Might be more useful anyway.
