Unable to pass on the family business to his sweet but immature son Leslie, eccentric toymaker Kenneth Zevo, upon his death, bequeaths Zevo Toys to his militaristic brother, Lt. General Leland Zevo. General Zevo is out of touch with both toymaking and reality, but he sees a different kind of potential in the toy factory. When the General starts using the factory to make weapons of war, Leslie decides he must take action to save Zevo Toys.
There's a madman at the factory, and it's no longer me.
I was born in the back of a bumper car.
Aww, he broke my sister.
Let's all bob our heads for a brief moment of prayer... those who can.
Bastards! They attacked us while we were at prayer. It's like Pearl Harbor.
Hold 'till you see the lights in their eyes.
Four stores and many Christmases ago, my father brought forth a factory conceived in innocence and joy and squeezable fun for everyone.
Today may be the beginning of the end... or the end of the beginning... or the beginning of the beguine.
In the words of Barbie, "I had a dream house."
In the words of Mahatma Gumby, "We are toys of tolerance, but there's only so much that a toy can tolerate."
Laughter is a state of mind.
