"Toys" was one hell of an original piece. It was strange and it strayed away from the norm but where it landed is what people loved, including me. "Toys" is a memorable film and should be entered into a vault that contains original films of historic importance because of it's originality. I also can't forget the soundtrack of this film at all because that is one aspect about it that keeps me coming back. Especially Robin William's and Joan Cusack's perfomance of "The Mirror Song."
Adrian Stokes Furthermore, the pertinent song should go down as an American national Christmas song. I want to hear this song on the radio. There is no reason why it should not. Listen to it. LISTEN! What's NOT Christmas about this song?
This song is a favorite in my house around Christmas time. My entire family knows this is the song that speaks of the Christmas season for me; great movie too!
This movie brings back so many memories. The puns, the songs, the performances from Sir Micheal Gambon, Joan Cuzak The late Donald O'Connor, LL Cool J and of course the incredible and lovable Robin Williams. This movie stands as one of Robin Williams masterpieces next to HOOK, ALADDIN, JUMANJI, MRS DOUBTFIRE, ROBOTS and DEAD POETS SOCIETY. He kept me laughing from start to finish in the movie TOYS and on MORK AND MINDY. We all miss you Robin and at this time of the year when we remember our loved ones, you will be remembered.....all our love and dreams to you and May your smile shine brightly in the stars at the Closing of the Year....we will NEVER forget you. Rest in Peace...my friend
Call me weird if you want, but I consider Toys among my all-time favourites. It’s a brilliant, surreal film that was just beyond the ken of most viewers.
I honestly think when it came out they didn't understand the TRUE meaning behind it but what baffles me is how could u ignore that soundrack?!amazing:)
+kirin-rex, same with me. I can't believe how badly it flopped at the box office when it came out in '92 because the imagery throughout the film and Robin Williams' trademark genius were a winning combo. Plus, it's underlying message is even more relevant today, just like John Lennon's post-Beatles work!!
Wendy & Lisa, genius and pure sentiment. Merry Christmas to all watching this video, enjoying this touching song and to all music lovers around the world. Times have been difficult lately but we will overcome.
When I heard of Robin Williams' passing, I thought of a beautiful song from a movie I watched as a child. I couldn't remember the name, but after a bit of research, I found it. Beautiful song, and it had to go in my Robin Williams tribute on my channel.
Best Christmas song ever produced. I've never forgotten this movie and never will. one of Robin Williems best proforminces. Very funny and sad all at the same time, Funny movie and sad that it's been over looked and forgotten by everyone. should be on TV every year just like Rudolph, Frosty and Polar Express. Capures the heart of Christmas perfictly. Everyone is a kid at heart, It also shows family ties and too do whatever it takes for the pasion in which you and your heart believes in.
Toys is a movie for adults, reminding them that there is absolutely nothing wrong with keeping your childhood with you. It is the time when we dream of what we want to be. We should never stop dreaming.
Strange things this touching, neo-classic tune brings more to the soul than the mind...which it puts at peace... Drones are toys... The movie was prophetic.
Totally ahead of its time. Thats why it got bad reviews. They just didn't get it. If it came out today it would kill at the box office. And the soundtrack is really amazing. They need to re release this in theaters. It would smoke (get it) at the box office.
Now that Robin Williams has passed, I dunno if I can ever watch this movie again. It's one of my alltime favorites, and already makes me cry. Y_Y Blessed journeys, Robin. You gave the world so much... *crying again*
Roseluck Serendipity Your particular choice of racial slur is disturbing. It's disgusting and disrespectful to human beings who went through hell at the hands of white people. Not cool. As for describing Williams as a bastard, shame on you, have some respect.
Ah you should watch it! Seriously, I just watched it myself, hence my reason for trying to find this song. I haven't actually watched that film for probably a couple of years maybe but it was really great to watch it again and see him being a good old silly fool! You'll cry no doubt, but I guarantee you'll laugh more.
spidess111 You make a good point. There's so much joy, innocents, tenderness and heart in this (as in the rest of the movie, which is *exactly* why I love it so much). ^_^ So.. maybe when the holidays come, me and my friends will get together w/silly hats, stuffed animals, maybe have a drink or two, and watch this movie. :):) ♥
I watched Toys just last night on Netflix and I instantly had to find this song. It was only rated at 2 stars on Netflix but I really love this film. When I ask most people if they have seen this they have no idea what I'm talking about.
this movie is a masterclass the end always brings me to tears those damn ninjas with their onions. this song always gives me chills its better that most ppl dont know we can watch it over and over. lol
I didn't even know they made a video for this song. lol such an underrated classic. as much slack as the movie took when it was released, I'm amazed this still didn't become a holiday staple on the radio.
i Like the kids choir bit "Up on the knees of a sergeant major Ride through the woods with the wind in your hair Silver bells on a stolen reindeer As we race to the castle over there"
+shunae86 The problem with 'Toys,' is its production design is really impressive, but the story enfolded around it is a mess - it just doesn't know what it wants to be.
If the sirens and muses of legend were flesh and blood and living in present day, they would sound like Wendy and Lisa. Lisa's dark melancholy piano and lilting vocals are the perfect complement to Wendy's textured lyrics, angelic voice and singular guitar. Remember the story of Ulysses and the Sirens? It's Wendy and Lisa's 'Always in My Dreams' I hear when I imagine that tale. I'm glad to know so many people love these gifted muses as much as I do.
I feel like 😢 crying because of Robin Williams' 10 years ago this song from the movie 'toys' brought me here the movie he started in May he rip 1951-2014
I think Prince was holding them back. Anyone that can write that soulfully and sing like Angles deserve respect and admiration. Thank you for sharing your gifts.
+nettils Whoopsie. My last trip to the Hospital took some of my eyesight and I lost 7+ days. Now (the fun part) I get violently dizzy and pass out. Prior to this I would never make fun of someone with health issues and still wont. That would be like tripping a blind person and laughing. The text on this machine is as large as I can make it. Sorry. If it makes you feel better about yourself then by all means, have at it. Watch out, you don't want to have any spelling errors. All of this typing has taken about 45 minutes.
2018 still listening. Most beautiful. Robin's memory lives on bright. Cherished forever. Love this song each year. Thank you *so* much for posting. Peace!
I can remember when this movie came out. I was 16, and when it was released, I decided to go see it, after i did, every weekend i would go see it twice. Seen it about 10 or 12 times before it left the theatre there. Loved all the songs on the soundtrack, played through them all so much. Great times i remember.
Here is the solo (Seal's solo) We'll walk innocent with all of the pain and all of the patience all of the way With all of us right and all are the same Love one another We'll fly in the arms of time Walk in the waves and never fall Don't fall (at the closing of the year) at the closing of the year
I grew up in the 1990s. It was the peak of Robin Williams career. Movies from Toys, Ms Doubtfire, Hook, Jumanji etc. I watched every single one. Thank you Robin Williams for making my childhood a memorable and laughable one.
The movie "Toys" may not have gotten a lot of good write ups, and there were not a lot of fans to it, but I for one found it quite good. Not just because of the song, but also because of the lesson it tries to teach us, that toys should only be used to bring joy and happiness, and not used for violence and world domination. Robin Williams did a good job in this movie as he did in Aladdin. He will truly be missed.
It ain’t the the holidays until I’ve heard this beautiful song. PS Toys with Robin Williams is one of the most underrated movies ever made, and deserved more of a chance than what it got, Barry Levinson put his heart and soul into the movie, and delievered a message that I think is still relevant in today’s age.
This song is a beautiful brilliant masterpiece ~~ and I wish that Wendy and Lisa could have composed and recorded more songs like this ~~ they absolutely have the Divine gift for such orchestrations, since they have been composing soundtrack and television themes, ever since this song! May God bless them!
I think Wendy, Lisa & Seal make a very beautiful team on this song! So magical, hopeful & uplifting! Nobody could ever sing & play "The Closing Of The Year" like they do. I'd be worse off without this song if it were never composed & ofcourse if I never grew up with the movie "Toys" itself. & nowadays it gives me hope for a better Christmas, New Year & Future & that we can see all those we LOVE again once COVID-19, Delta & Omicron have totally disappeared for good! & we'll have no Plague to keep us isolated & separated from our loved ones & bands for those of us who are Singer-Musicians. 😇😀😉😌💖❤💘
Absolutely an example of the best written, best musicianship, best produced music ever. If you don't know Wendy & Lisa they are of Prince fame, under their name. Absolutely some of the best rock to be published, they are Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman. I simply cannot say enough about the immense song writing and musicianship of this duo. They went into music for film and television and have won an Emmy Award, I think because they were never properly promoted by their label. If you want to hear some of the most simply beautiful music ever to be recorded.

One of the top ten underrated movies of all time. Awesome cast, completely original story, and an awesome soundtrack.
Tears of joy! Thanks to Robin, Joan, LL, Wendy & Lisa! I won't stay ao long before I visit again! Happy Holidays all!

Best Christmas song of the postwar era. Should be a standard.
Also, Seal should have gotten some sort of special Grammy just for that hat ;P
What you said is how I feel.
This song is a favorite in my house around Christmas time. My entire family knows this is the song that speaks of the Christmas season for me; great movie too!
Miss you Robin. This has been my favorite 'xmas' song for decades and will probably be so for decades more.
For So many reasons, I choke up when I hear this.
This movie brings back so many memories.

The soundtrack was and remains a total work of art.
Defo mate
I want to go live there!
Adrian Stokes So true. And after the movie came and went the soundtrack went out of print in a flash.
One of the prettiest Christmas songs EVER - almost made me cry the first time I heard it
I love that they use this as a song in the Tribute To Robin Williams.
This movie is extremely underrated. This is one of those movies which serves to inspire billions of ideas.
Thanks for the Good Memories. Merry Christmas. May Joy and Innocence Prevail.
This song and this movie have stuck with me all these years since it first came out.
+kirin-rex, same with me.

Song still gives me chills.
It also makes me emotional cause of how beautiful this song is especially at Christmas 🎄
Wendy & Lisa, genius and pure sentiment. Merry Christmas to all watching this video, enjoying this touching song and to all music lovers around the world. Times have been difficult lately but we will overcome.

I never heard this song til I saw "Toys". Now it's my favorite Christmas song. Beautiful!!!!
Best Christmas song ever produced. I've never forgotten this movie and never will. one of Robin Williems best proforminces.

I remember watching Toys when I was little. This song and the movie have always stuck with me. Still hard to believe Robin Williams is gone. 😢
Loved the movie then (1992) and forever will, and this song is amazing!
Requiescat in pace, Robin.
Toys is a movie for adults, reminding them that there is absolutely nothing wrong with keeping your childhood with you. It is the time when we dream of what we want to be. We should never stop dreaming.
Omg the two women who collaborated with Prince god bless this song it's so beautiful.
LOVE Robin Williams, Love Toys, Love this song. Winning all the way around, here!!!
I LOVE this song and let my tell you just how much I want that duck bed!
Such a wonderful song. A highly underrated Zimmer gem.
Strange things this touching, neo-classic tune brings more to the soul than the mind...which it puts at peace...
Drones are toys... The movie was prophetic.
I LOVE this song. As a kid, I watched TOYS so any times. This brings back many memories.
What happened to the world? We had it all!!!! 90's best decade and last...
What a beautiful song! ❤️❤️
One of the best Christmas songs ever !
Totally ahead of its time. Thats why it got bad reviews. They just didn't get it. If it came out today it would kill at the box office. And the soundtrack is really amazing. They need to re release this in theaters. It would smoke (get it) at the box office.

One of my favorite holiday songs!
Now that Robin Williams has passed, I dunno if I can ever watch this movie again. It's one of my alltime favorites, and already makes me cry. Y_Y Blessed journeys, Robin. You gave the world so much... *crying again*
I know what you mean :(

An amazing song , fit for one of the most awesome movies ever .
I love this song and I love "Toys" (the film is a masterpiece)
Same here
Beautiful. :)
The ending of Toys gets me crying every time.
I miss Robin Williams too. Great actor, thanks for helping the Charities.
This song always puts a tear in my eyes. I wish my brother and his troops were home from this war.
I watched Toys just last night on Netflix and I instantly had to find this song. It was only rated at 2 stars on Netflix but I really love this film. When I ask most people if they have seen this they have no idea what I'm talking about.
Michael Cooper I found it at barns and noble it is my 2nd most favorite Robin Williams movie with Popeye being at 1st
Strangely i watched it on sky cinema family..it too had 2 star ratings...i love this film
You know I watch when I was a kid it got me memories
this movie is a masterclass the end always brings me to tears those damn ninjas with their onions. this song always gives me chills its better that most ppl dont know we can watch it over and over. lol
Really a shame that you hardly hear this song during the holidays. Truly captures the spirit of christmas.
I didn't even know they made a video for this song. lol such an underrated classic. as much slack as the movie took when it was released, I'm amazed this still didn't become a holiday staple on the radio.
This is really one of the prettiest modern Christmas songs. Too bad it is impossible to find for purchase (Amazon wants $42 for the CD).
I have it on my home computer, if you're still looking for it, DM me.
one of the best songs iv ever herd
I just watched this movie again and LOVE this song! The movie "Toys" is one of my faves!
yes this song does bring back memories
A Robin in a cage puts all heaven in a rage. Goodnight, Robin and Merry Christmas.
i Like the kids choir bit
"Up on the knees of a sergeant major
Ride through the woods with the wind in your hair
Silver bells on a stolen reindeer
As we race to the castle over there"
This should be Christmas number 1 2014, a great way to remember Robin!
I know
RW:I AGREE WITH U ALL THE WAY DUDE:^_^:
Jason Tachin so do I
rw:^_^
Jason Tachin god bless him
I love this song from Toys RIP Robin....
Wendy and Lisa were great with Prince RIP I remember them in Purple Rain too 💜
Those critics who gave bad reviews for this movie, i think they inserted the tape but forgot to press play.
Totally!
+shunae86
The problem with 'Toys,' is its production design is really impressive, but the story enfolded around it is a mess - it just doesn't know what it wants to be.
This is actually musical perfection.
Count the blessings that are real
bonita canción voz hermosa
Fenomenal cancion, buenisima peli.
Requiescat in pace, Robin.
Best Christmas song, ever!

I just caught the film TOYS and heard this song a week ago on cable. Thank u so much for the vid!
This Song was a huge attraction for the movie..but I really think it was outstanding.. Loved it since it first came out years ago..
These beautiful women wrote Purple Rain.
I feel like 😢 crying because of Robin Williams' 10 years ago this song from the movie 'toys' brought me here the movie he started in May he rip 1951-2014
i love this movie!
The closing of the year I'm going home. What a way to bring in the New Year 2019
love this song. perfect for the season.
Love the part when Seal comes in. It's so powerful.
Magical song from a great movie.
I think Prince was holding them back. Anyone that can write that soulfully and sing like Angles deserve respect and admiration. Thank you for sharing your gifts.

Whoopsie.

You ain't lying. They send a shiver up my spine.
Thanks.

2018 still listening. Most beautiful. Robin's memory lives on bright. Cherished forever. Love this song each year. Thank you *so* much for posting. Peace!
So pretty!
When it comes to Robin Williams, it’s sad when the world gets a hell of a lot more out robin, then robin got out of this world. Great talent
i was freakishly obsessed with this film when i was younger.
I can't believe i've never seen this music video/promo before.
...WOW......
hehehe.
-riff
Inlove in this song...
LOVE this songs! Reminds of me another song with a children choir...anyone knows of others? Once a upon a forest has one too that is really beautiful
I can remember when this movie came out. I was 16, and when it was released, I decided to go see it, after i did, every weekend i would go see it twice. Seen it about 10 or 12 times before it left the theatre there. Loved all the songs on the soundtrack, played through them all so much. Great times i remember.
Seal!
The inclusion of Seal just elevated the coolness of this song.
this song is beautiful
Wow! I've been looking for this song for years. Thank you so much for sharing it ocloud16!! This really made my day!
Wow, wow, wow, many thanx!
I love it because my birthday is in December and I get hope even on the bad years like the one just passed...
Here is the solo
(Seal's solo)
We'll walk innocent
with all of the pain
and all of the patience
all of the way
With all of us right
and all are the same
Love one another
We'll fly in the arms of time
Walk in the waves and never fall
Don't fall (at the closing of the year)
at the closing of the year
I grew up in the 1990s. It was the peak of Robin Williams career. Movies from Toys, Ms Doubtfire, Hook, Jumanji etc. I watched every single one. Thank you Robin Williams for making my childhood a memorable and laughable one.
Love this song
Esta cancion pertenece a una de mis películas preferidas en estas fechas, Toys. Fabricando ilusiones.
Muchisimas gracias por el video
December 26, 2018-- R.I.P. Robin Williams... I love you and missed you Robin Williams.. I am so glad I have Robin Williams autograph..
One of my holiday favorites and a song I love so very much.
to go back and relive the 90's

Great song! Liked the movie, too. It should be an annual offering on, at least, one of the eleventy jillion channels out there.
Beautiful song!
Bizarre but very underrated film.
It ain’t the the holidays until I’ve heard this beautiful song.
PS Toys with Robin Williams is one of the most underrated movies ever made, and deserved more of a chance than what it got, Barry Levinson put his heart and soul into the movie, and delievered a message that I think is still relevant in today’s age.

the best thing about this movie was this soundtrack. I love this song and wish it got more radio play during the holidays.
LOVE THIS SONG!!! I can never get sick of it.
Fantastica, grande atmosfera natalizia !
This song always made me cry and it still does ;_;
I unbelievably love Wendy and Lisa since the beginning with prince and everyone in prince team had swagga
I missed hearing this on my local radio station this year. It really is beautiful.
I miss my past childhood 😢
Absolutely an example of the best written, best musicianship, best produced music ever. If you don't know Wendy & Lisa they are of Prince fame, under their name. Absolutely some of the best rock to be published, they are Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman. I simply cannot say enough about the immense song writing and musicianship of this duo. They went into music for film and television and have won an Emmy Award, I think because they were never properly promoted by their label. If you want to hear some of the most simply beautiful music ever to be recorded.
Love Wendy and Lisa! This version just makes the holidays whole.
Thanks for uploading this song I love Toys.
