Remember that scene from Russ Tamblyn's "Tom Thumb" (1956) when all the toys have to rush about frantically when they learn that an human is coming? Well there's a bit of that going on here as all the toys in the room hastily seek shelter wherever they can before a girl arrives, bent on a bit of mischief. Just by changing her facial expressions or waving her hand, she can move them around, she can damage them, torture them - even dismember and destroy them. That's a great excuse for the animators to incorporate an whole range of established characters from "Superman" to "Spiderman" via "Tarzan" and "Woody" in this tale of cruelty! Then the lights go out and a giant alligator arrives to give her as good as she gets before her more adoring sister arrives and maybe things will go back to normal. The sentiment here is quite nasty as it illustrates what can happen when sibling rivalry can apparently become just a little toxic. There is loads of movement and colour, a lively score and maybe just a moral of do unto others?
