Pixar may have made a heart-warming film about toys coming to life, but 'Address is Appropriate' is proving that the mega company does not have the market cornered on producing toy-inspired films that tug at your heart strings.
Following the exploits of an unnamed action figure, 'Address is Appropriate' tells the story of a toy who wanted to see the world rather than simply being confined to his owner's office. His solution is simple: pull up a miniature convertible next to his owner's computer and use Google Maps Street View to traverse the world via the Internet. As all of this is going on, an emotional and uplifting instrumental is played in the background.
'Address is Appropriate' is the personal project of director Tom Jenkins. If he can draw out such great performances from inanimate objects, just imagine the great things he can do with a Hollywood A-list cast.
