- Toys does have a couple of scenes with a VR-like toy, but it is a
- minor part of the movie. There are other concepts related to VR that
- play a more prominent role, but saying anything more might be a
- "spoiler" for the movie.
-
- I enjoyed Toys very much, but it's not a "VR movie" in the sense that
- Lawnmower Man was. Williams said in a promotional interview that the
- VR-like toy was in the script many years ago (apparently this movie
- has been kicking around for 12 years before getting made), before VR
- was known to the general public.
