Synopsis: When a military general inherits a toy making company and begins making war toys, his employees band together to stop him before he ruins the name of Zevo Toys forever.
Reaction: Bizarre, odd-ball, and incessantly madcap. Don't look too deep below the surface and be ready for some dramatic shifts in tone, but there are some shots here that will really stick with you. Fun but not particularly profound.
Personal Rating: 6/10 |

- General Zevo mentions building armed "toy" planes and refers to himself as the "general of tomorrow."
