I've never laughed so hard at a short



I did not expect seeing this before the Muppet Movie, but I enjoyed it immensely.

I was laughing so hard at all the kids meal toys, the support group. the tae-kwon DOE, the Wizard Lizard, and the T-Bone transformer had me rolling just because he reminded me of my McDonalds shaped toys from the late 80's that transformed into dinosaurs.

And then in the end credits all the medieval chicken/french fry items on the menu had me laughing even louder. The fry gauntlet, and chicken mace, etc.

This short was just phenomenally funny. I'd watch it again and again.

I agree. I had no idea this was showing with THE MUPPETS. Very pleasant surprise.

Having grown up with all those happy meal toys of the 80's, i also got a kick out of all the varients.

That Ghost Burger, for some reason, was the one that me laugh the hardest beside the meat Transformer.

That's exactly the sort of thing you used to get! It made absolutely no sense (a Ghost Burger?) but it
was a toy and it was (relatively!) free!

Right? The toys were so lame yet so real! My personal favorite was George Washington in the Declaration of Independence car wondering why kids don't like him. He history, just on wheels!

This isnt my signature. I type this everytime.

Really? Must be me, then. One of the worst shorts, Pixar or otherwise, I've ever seen.

I'm apparently in a minority, but as much as I loved the Toy Story movie trilogy... I kind of hated this short film. I found it too simplistic, and the characters felt fairly grating and poorly written to me.

And FURTHERMORE, this is my signature! SERIOUSLY! Did you think I was still talking about my point?
