''Tin Toy'' was the third animated film created by Pixar. At the time it was uncertain whether Pixar would actually be an animation studio or a computer company that sold animation computers. The first two Pixar shorts had cost the company a lot of money and some people at Pixar wanted to leave animation behind and concentrate on the software. Lasseter's short won an Oscar, and the idea of toys coming to life later led to the first computer-animated feature film, ''WesternAnimation/ToyStory''. Tinny ultimately made a cameo appearance in the [[WesternAnimation/ToyStory4 fourth film]].

* NoAntagonist: Billy is the closest we ''could'' get to an antagonist, but he never acts outright malicious towards the toys and only wants to play with them as much as he can, given both his age and the fact that he's just learning how to walk.

** "No portion of this movie, including its soundtrack, may be reproduced in any manner or we won't be your friends anymore."

A little tin wind-up one-man-band toy named [[AllThereInTheScript Tinny]] is on the floor of a house when a diaper-clad baby named [[AllThereInTheManual Billy]] toddles in. Tinny is delighted to see Billy, until he watches the baby start gnawing on a plastic ring. Fearing a similar fate, Tinny runs for cover--but not for long.

The toy is delighted to see the baby, until it watches the baby start gnawing on a plastic ring. Fearing a similar fate, the toy runs for cover--but not for long.

* ChekhovsGun: The box the toy came in is seen in the opening shot. At the end, the baby picks up the box to play with and forgets about the toy.
* ConscienceMakesYouGoBack: The toy has made it to safety under the couch, but the baby falls down and starts to cry. The conscience-stricken toy then emerges from under the couch so the baby can play with it.

* {{Gonk}}: The baby is ''terrifying''. It's one of the most famous cases of the UncannyValley in animation. This was due to limited technology in the new field of computer animation. It does however work in the context of the film, as the toy flees from the terrifying child.
* HumansAreCthulhu: The baby is this to all the toys, who are all hiding under the couch, cringing with fright.
* KidsPreferBoxes: The joke at the end, when the baby sets the toy aside and starts playing with the toy's box.

* OhCrap: The toy has this reaction when the baby bites down hard on the ring.
* OneManBand: What the little tin toy is, a wind-up one man band.

* TheStinger: After the credits finish the other toys start coming out from under the couch, looking for the baby.

!!Tropes:

* CrowningMomentOfFunny: The ending, where the toy goes back out to comfort the crying baby and, after only a few seconds of playing with him again, he completely ignores him to play with the bag and box he came in. The toy (who was terrified of the baby just moments ago) now looks ''offended''.
