Toys In The Attic - Trailer
Set in a magical world of toys and knick-knacks stored in the attic of a home in Prague, this award-winning stop-motion animated feature has been called "An animation masterpiece" (Anima Basuari), and "a diabolically inventive tale that is four parts Toy Story and one part Tim Burton (New York International Children's Film Festival).
The setting for the film was inspired by the cultural and political contrast of the Cold War era and its impact on director Jirí Barta and the Czech Republic. The world of the attic is divided into the land of happy toys in the West and the Land of Evil in the East. The despotic Head of State rules over the Land of Evil with a band of sinister minions, insects and rotted vegetables. When the lovely Buttercup (Vivian Schilling) is kidnapped and held prisoner by The Head (Jirí Lábus, with voice by Douglas Urbanski), it is up to her friends - a teddy bear (Forest Whitaker), a mechanical mouse (Joan Cusack) and marionette puppet (Cary Elwes) to cross the international boundary and attempt their daring rescue.
Toys in the Attic is a meticulously crafted visual feast, combining multiple forms of animation into an enchanting and fantastic adventure for the entire family.
Toys in the Attic was released September 7th, 2012 and stars Forest Whitaker, Joan Cusack, Cary Elwes, Vivian Schilling, Marcelo Tubert, Douglas Urbanski, Emily Hahn, Sandy Holt. The film is directed by Jirí Barta, Vivian Schilling.

I like the stop motion stuff, but this looks like a total stinker.

@mcleve02 I think they did that on purpose. I think they were pushing towards on the old style of stop motion hence on how choppy it looks.

As fan of stop-motion animation, this looks extremely bland and lazily put together.

A creepy version of Toy Story that I'm not interested in whatsoever.

Cary Elwes ACTUALLY SAID "my Princess Bride." Do you think he got the job because of that line or that line was added when he was in the movie? Either way, its stupid.

That's a messed up toy attic. The animation reminded me of Kafka's The Hand. Doesn't look like it will perform well
