If you ever wondered what a disturbingly spooky version of "Toy Story" would look like? Well, maybe you should check out this US trailer for "Toys in the Attic," a wildly bizarre stop-motion feature from Czech-born animator/director Jiri Barta and American-born writer/director Vivian Schilling. The film, which has recently been dubbed by a English-speaking cast that includes Joan Cusack, Cary Elwes, and Forest Whitaker, follows a batch of abandoned toys as they attempt to rescue a captured friend who's been locked in the attic by a villainous creature. The independently produced film is slated to hit select theaters on September 7th.
