''Miracle In Toyland'' is a 2000 animated film by Creator/GoldenFilms and [=GoodTimes=] Entertainment.
(blurb goes here)
!Tropes:
* AllJustADream:
** Played straight with the dream Jesse has at the beginning of being a soldier.
** Zig-zagged with the sequence where Jesse is shrunk down and then helps the toys; he thinks it was all a dream, but the toys are shown living before and after it. Jesse thinks it was a dream when he wakes up, but after his dad is reported missing and [[ItMakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext the magic feather flies out of a crumpled poster]], Jesse decides the experience was real after all, and goes back to Toyland to help.
* AngerMontage: Upon hearing about his father's disappearance, and that the military cannot search for him until the winter weather clears, Jesse destroys all the things in his room that remind him of his father.
* ArtisticLicenseAstronomy: Sunlight flows into Toyland during "Lift Up Your Eyes" even though it's night.
* ArtisticLicenseEconomics: When Jesse finds the "treasure" on the pirate ship, he immediately declares that everyone here is rich. No one ever seems to consider that it's fake toy money and thus not usable as legal currency. Possibly justified for the toys in that they wouldn't know how the world works outside Toyland, but Jesse never corrects them.
* ArtisticLicensePhysics:
** The trampoline Jesse uses to reach the top of the stack of toy soldiers bounces him far higher than would be possible in real life.
** Jesse stacks several cardboard boxes to try and break into Toyland, and climbs up to the top but then loses his balance and falls, never mind that he shouldn't have been able to climb up the tower in the first place on account of how light the (presumably empty) boxes are.
** Jesse is able to ride in a rubber dinghy being pulled by the enlarged toy plane.
* BigNo:
** Jesse when he falls off the enlarged toy plane.
** A rather poorly-delivered one from Jesse's dad while on the rubber dinghy and about to reach a cliff.
* BigWhy: Jesse yells two of these while destroying his bedroom.
* CaptainErsatz:
** [[Franchise/{{Superman}} Super Duper Guy]]. Lampshaded when he mentions "that other guy" with "red cap, blue tights, square jaw, dorky girlfriend".
** During "Lift Your Eyes Up", we are treated to what is basically WesternAnimation/DonaldDuck but with no clothes.
** [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Pikachu]] can be seen in the background on a shelf.
* CompressedVice: Jesse expresses his dislike for toys at the beginning, yet has a tremendous amount of fun when Gabriella brings him to Toyland.
* ConflictBall: Gabrielle abandons Jesse over him not slowing down the life-size toy car they were riding, and it's apparently a big enough deal that Jesse begs forgiveness when they meet again, and she grants it to him on the grounds that he "know[s] it hurt". Jesse promises never to do it again.
* CoversAlwaysLie: While it's ambiguous exactly how old Jesse is in the film, he appears much younger on the cover than he looks and sounds in the film.
* EarnYourHappyEnding: Jesse
* EasilyForgiven: When Jesse is devastated that a toy soldier died because of him, the other toys tell him not to worry and give him another chance to be helpful.
* FreudianExcuse: Jesse's for being unkind occasionally is that his dad is busy with the military and doesn't have much time for him.
* HumanityEnsues: Downplayed with the toys, who grow to human size but aren't stated to have changed from toy material to flesh.
* IncredibleShrinkingMan:
** Played straight when a magic feather shrinks Jesse to toy size.
** Inverted when the same magic feather grows the toys to human size (it doesn't count as AttackOfThe50FootWhatever since the toys don't grow to a size considered gigantic by human standards), and a toy plane to the size of a real plane.
* LethallyStupid: Jesse is ordered to stay with a wounded soldier, but he leaves him with a walkie-talkie and goes to the top of the mountain to see the action. When he returns with the other soldiers literally less than twenty seconds later, the wounded soldier says he has been "surrounded" and that the walkie-talkie's reception was not far enough, then dies.
* LikeIsLikeAComma: Elf Girl talks like this.
* MilitariesAreUseless: The military won't search for Jesse's father because of the weather, so Jesse and his toy friends have to do it, ''and they succeed''.
* MinorInjuryOverreaction: Played with. Gabrielle feels sick from how Jesse is driving the toy race car, but he doesn't stop or slow down. When he does eventually stop, she tears into him and more or less tells him she doesn't want to associate with him anymore, and storms off.

* MsFanservice: Elf Girl. She even gets an upskirt shot in "Lift Your Eyes Up".
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: Jesse has this reaction when the wounded soldier he abandoned dies as a result.
* NonIndicativeTitle: If the "miracle" referred to in the title is Jesse and the toys saving the latter's father, then it does not, in fact, happen "in Toyland", but rather on a snowy mountain.
* NotTheFallThatKillsYou: Jesse falls off the enlarged toy plane, but is caught by Super Duper Guy.
* OffModel: The Christmas trees in Toyland, when viewed from above, look like they're being viewed from the side but rotated.
* PlotMandatedFriendshipFailure: Gabriella gets into a race car with Jesse driving. She feels sick and asks him to slow down, but he refuses, prompting her to tell him he's "on his own" once the race is over and leave him in the toy store, but they make up when he comes out of the toy store and apologizes and promises not to do it again.
* PublicDomainSoundtrack: An instrumental of "Carol of the Bells" plays while Jesse sees other families in the toy store.
* SkewedPriorities: While hurtling through the snow on a rubber dinghy, Elf Girl realizes her ring is missing.
* StockYuck: Elf Girl wants caviar when the toys suggest ordering food. Everyone else reacts with overt disgust.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight:
** Upon learning that the people before him are ''sentient, human-size toys'', Jesse's dad instead focuses on his strained relationship with his son.
** No one at the hospital seems to find anything odd about it either.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Several odd-looking soldiers aid in the mission to the top of the mountain, but aren't seen again.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: The toys give this speech to Jesse.
