- I saw the trailer for "Toys" last night. It's very funny -- Robin Williams
- standing in a field (which he says is actually the "world's largest sound
- stage"!) It's a sequence of short, very different, very funny "experimental"
- advertisements for the film, with no footage from "Toys". Anyone who has
- seen the trailer for "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" will notice some
- similarity.

- They missed the most obvious joke though.
