    The sorrow of their own parents is the joy of the man in the moon
    His routine will keep repeat as long as he live,unfortunately he never dies
    So,make sure you will sleep tight and a have a real good night don't let the man sprinkle some sand in your eyes

    I was watching Alma (the girl in the toy shop) earlier and it got me thinking about this... I remember this short from when I was really young, about 4ish I'd say. As a child, The Sandman was always supposed to help you sleep until I saw this, in early 90's it was once classed as suitable to be viewed by children since it had no dialogue and was only a short story. (Surely 10 minutes wouldn't hurt anyone right? Obviously many didn't agree). I'm 30 now and it's still just as creepy as it was back then. Executed brilliantly! One of the best shorts I've seen. The old classics are always better than the new in my opinion.

    Omg.. I’m almost 30 and I can’t remember when I saw this.. but it’s stuck with me since. Even though I’ve tried asking friends about it, I haven’t even able to describe it well to others. All I remember is a little kid losing his eyes and walking around with his hands out because he couldn’t see. But in my head it was much more terrifying than the description I gave. It’s here. I can’t believe it. It wasn’t a dream, it wasn’t me making stuff up.. this is insane. I wonder how old I was when I saw this.. because it’s branded into my brain.

      I agree on all counts. I love that the Sandman in this short is some bird-like creature and how his face mimics the crescent moon. I also enjoy his dandy clothes, the character just looks like he has so much more story in him then what we see in the film.

    This is going to sound pathetic, but I had a dream where I tried to save the boy from that monster but I was too late, the house was abandoned and I went up the stairs and touched the wood that creaked, then I entered another room where I saw a doll and I take her in my arms and in the end I ended up waking up. This dream was magical I could feel as if I were in an alternate reality hahahahahaha this happens to me for watching this short film several times😅

    Thank goodness I found this. Now I just need to find the original toy story. It was a black and white silent film I believe? My favorite scene is when the toys start ripping each other part in their small asylum from humans. The main boss I remember was a Devil who was burnt alive at the end. Going on memory here to find it. Can't believe I don't remember the name.
