The Toy Warrior is a 2005 South Korean animated film directed by Kyung-Won Lim, and writed by Brian Swenlin.The Land of Toys is a world ruled by freedom and imagination, as well as the doll princess Sherbet. But the evil and mysterious Dark One arrives to threaten the peace of the toy kingdom, and to protect her world, the princess travels to the real world where she must find the heroic Warrior Prince…But unfortunately, the only one she finds is our protagonist, Jinoo, an immature but good-hearted boy who loves toys. Jinoo believes that all of his toys are real and alive, like his best friend Ping, a stuffed animal-backpack. His favorite toy is definitely the Toy Warrior, an action figure of a hero, whom Jinoo adores and aspires to be like him.When Jinoo accidentally touches the magical and sacred Warrior Stone, which Sherbet was carrying to choose the savior of the Land of Toys, he is transported to that magical world. Now, with the powers of being a human in the land of imagination, the help of Princess Sherbet, the police robot R.J. and a now alive Ping, must defeat the dark forces that threaten both worlds. Though the true master behind it all might be the least expected, this won't stop the new Toy Warrior from fulfilling his destiny.

Chekhov's Gun: The mention that the toy warrior has a design flaw that causes its head to shoot off, and lose its batteries in the process. This becomes important when the heroes use it to defeat the evil giant Toy Warrior in the real world.

comment
Clueless Aesop: The movie opens by stating that Jinoo has no friends because of the childish way he thinks of toys, and that he saved the day by simply being himself instead of wanting to be the Toy Warrior. The problem of not having friends is simply abandoned when the toys turned out to be magically alive and became real friends, even though he doesn't have healthy relationships in the real world; and the fact that he is himself doesn't really have much weight in the story beyond letting go of his fanaticism for the Toy Warrior.

World-Healing Wave: Two-fold. After being left in ruin after the children of the world are sapped of their imagination, the Land of Toys is restored to its former splendor by the children rediscovering it. And after the evil Toy Warrior enters the real world and wrecks havoc, all of the damage he caused it magically undone by his defeat.

2D Visuals, 3D Effects: Many elements are animated in CGI rather than 2D, especially when we get to toyland. In particular, many of the villain's weapons and minions are CGI.

Jerkass Has a Point
 The Toy Warrior (Animation) / int_6b05b601
comment
Jerkass Has a Point: Based on everything seen, Jason seems to be an objectively better option than Jinoo as the chosen one, even though he ended up doing a good job. Furthermore, the position involved a marriage with her, so she was within her rights to be upset that the one who touched the Warrior Stone was not the one she chose. And she does it for a bit selfish purposes, but she was also right in that Jinoo should be on his way back home, so his family doesn't worry. It's presented in a negative light, but Jason is absolutely right when he confronts Jinoo about still believing that his toys are alive despite his age and that he should make real friends.

Adults Are Useless: Not only none of them knows anything about the problems in the Land of Toys (which is understandable), but they also don't do anything helpful when kids are robbed of their emotions (which is a little less understandable).

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: A minor one, but Ciao prevented a random kid from taking the Warrior Stone that would have made him the chosen one to save the world of toys. And most probably he wasn't as good a choice as Jason or Jinoo.

Troperiffic: The film is a Korean production that was originally intended to be sold in the US market, so at the beginning it begins with a large number of tropes and clichés present in American animations understood from someone else. We have our protagonist who is a fusion of a Stock Shōnen Hero and an All American Boy, who wakes up Late for School, rushes to school skateboarding, is scolded by teachers for not being responsible, and has problems with a bully. And all this still does not enter into the central plot of being The Chosen One, saving two worlds, growing up and learning to be himself, and other common tropes.
