A bit Film School year III, where everything is a bit expressive and possibly impressive, but feels oddly dialed back,
There's little to dislike, but also a bit close to the vest,

I love the style
ill never tell...
character acting was really good!

This is a really cute style! I'd say the inconsistency of the hair is throwing me off a bit at times, but I can easily cater that to the animation style in itself. Besides that, I love that none of the characters stay idle, while not having too much movement all at once. The poses and expressions, as well as the timing of each movement are great!

Good animation but it could have a better context. What the toy can't handle? What in the scene tells me what the main character is talking about?
