        I think he’s talking about Small Soldiers.

          There’s also Child’s Play. Honestly it’s an entire trope.

            Finally, a subject I know about! I have watched a lot of really bad movies over the years. Many of them included that particular trope.

            Demonic Toys. Puppet Master (sort of). M3gan. Annabelle (I guess, I didn’t see this one on moral grounds). Dolls. One of the Krampus movies. If you’re willing to stretch your meaning of the word toy there’s also The Hug. The Goosebumps TV show had a puppet. Loads of others.

              What were moral reasons for avoiding annabelle? I never heard about the movie until your comment.

                It’s loosely based on the lies of grifters Ed and Lorraine Warren. I have a strong aversion to anything dealing with them.

                To be fair, I watched The Conjuring before I knew about their connection and didn’t like it. It wasn’t my style and I can’t imagine the other films in that universe are either. And I don’t judge others for not caring that they were involved, especially since they’re both dead now.
