I loved this movie when I was a kid and I love it now. I always thought this was the most magical song. I find myself dancing with my kids at Christmas time to it. So many kids these days are stuck entertaining themselves and not getting that special attention. This movie shows them that it's okay to be silly sometimes and to not be afraid to let their imaginations fly :)
Wish I found this for my dad last year. I spent all of 2010 caring for him during his cancer. When he passed in October, it left emptyness and unanswered questions. I want to make up for it now though maybe late, I just want closure and this sounds like him. Thanks for the post.
Sadly, this movie came to theaters and went without leaving a ripple. Nonetheless, "The Closing Of The Year" is a legitimate Christmas song, having been performed by Placido Domingo and Sara Brightman on their video, "A Gala Christmas in Vienna". Yet, I still cannot find the sheet music! Frustrating!
This song always brings a tear to my eye. These three elements together......nothing short of magical. Seal should have been equal billing with Wendy & Lisa. Great song, nonetheless.
wendy and lisa are hotties..matter o fact, wendy and her twin was born RICH. theyre dad was a chairman at Warner i think it was but they would have never met if it had not been for Purple Rain..love em..Prince...has been REPlACED!! He's the same a hole that was in the movie
@ktwarner87 "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."
@paulakaye5 The opening is the beginning of the first movement of Tchaikovsky's Symphony #1 'Winter Dreams,' an excellent piece of music in its own right. I highly encourage you to listen to it. Hope this helps.
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.
Just read on wikipedia that this movie was a flop!REALLY?!?!?! I LOVED this movie when it came out! It was VERY ORIG,not the usual hollywood cookie cutter movie crap you see nowadays.Think Ill get this movie tomorr! :)
@texgal71 I totally agree, the first time i saw this, i was amazed at its originality. But like all fan movies, We keep it alive and show it to all with an openess to a unique vision

The movie Toys is a forgotten gem. I have always loved the movie but it doesn' t get the recognition it deserves. I hope one day people rediscover this beautiful, whimsical masterpiece.
I think the movie was unbelievable up until the ending. I think they inevitably ran out of ideas and I really hate the ending with the toy battles, although I love the scene with the General and Robin Williams hanging off the plane and smashing through the glass. But yeah I think the ending kills this movie's brilliance
So glad I'm not the only one who finds this song and movie amazing. I love the fact that you never know what State the factory or the mansion is in. And what can I say about Hans Zimmer and Trevor Horn, who were largely responsible for writing this song, and the film score in general? Amazing, and yes the movie can be found on DVD. Took ME a while, but I found it-it might have been Borders.
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.
One of my favorite movies, although I have not seen it in years I sill remember it. and I like the top hat with the ostrich feathers, I would totally wear that!
anyone know where i can download this specific version of the song?? The long one I downloaded is almost 6 minutes long and I need this specific version for a Christmas light show I am doing
Such a wonderful movie...Id much rather have a world like in Toys than what we have created for ourselves today. It is so sad to see our values and morals in this country shrinking away...
This movie was made in the 90s. Watch it closely. Was it trying to tell us something? Like the gradual disappearance of childhood in the century to come?
Yes. They did quite a bit of work for him, especially with the mixing and post work. Prince lost part of his mojo when he decided not work with them again.
this song is the best song with childrens singing I've ever heard... a lot of emotions in my room... my brain... head... body... absolutelly fantastic
This is the nicest christmas song, which I have ever heard in my life. I agree with you and I am going tu listen this song every Christmas and in the end of YEAR,because it is the nicest,the most beautiful song.Can you tell me please,where I can download it??
When this movie came out, you were in one of two camps: Either you loved it completely, or you loved the visuals and hated the rest. I am in the latter camp, sadly. I was (and still am) a huge Barry Levinson fan, but was hugely disappointed in TOYS, no matter how amazing the production value is. It almost makes a better trailer than a movie, in my opinion.
That being said, more people should be aware of how wonderful and uplifting this song is.
The this movie is over is like saying good bye to an old friend. I was 18 when I saw it and it was a completly brain wash to me, I just got lost for months into it. I loved the music, the story line was so sporadic, so fresh, intimate and talented. It was just an imaginative scenario like: lets produce something fun and serious at same time.
This movie is a master piece that will be re discovered in the future like the Wizard of Oz.
ya know, when you know when someone has the tools to do something and they don't? And you know it's on purpose, some depression, some kinda trama or intent. I've seen thousands of home built worlds, in video games and videos , graphics, books, journals, sketches, paintings, sculptures, - dreamt up ,
when it comes to reality, we can't get it done- it's almost like ya have to work at it to stay this way. just kinda struck me is all.
i was watching toys the other day i forgot how much the film is great and the song at the end is lovely does any 1 know how to get this song/download to put on my ipod??? Gxx
This is highly underrated, as is the film. Both have a depth and power that most "reviewers" will never understand. This is a hauntingly beautiful song that has unplumbed depths every time I play it. It is in its own way a masterpiece.
Toys is also a masterpiece in its own way. Both Toys, and Steve Martin's LA Story, are two of the best films, and best film soundtracks, ever made and yet the reviewers excoriated both. Reviewers are largely about money. True Art escapes them, and always will.
I think its focus more on presentation than plot made the critics dislike it. I really enjoyed it though. Probably the best use of color I've ever seen in a movie.
It's for that very reason that it's an unexpected film of my favorites list. I think the plot is more of a post-modernist Hamlet. The funeral scene in which the "barrel of laughs" is heard laughing from the late Zevo's casket sets the pace for the film's plot. It's serious but not too serious, I think you might say the plot is subtextually galvanized by the lack of thick, saccharine melodrama. It's poignant by way of its measured levity. Here are the two masks of Dionysus.
One of the most amazing motion pictures of all time! Just beautiful. This song brings back many memories and is just amazingly well done. I totally want a bed like the sister has at 1:50 !!

The funeral scene in which the "barrel of laughs" is heard laughing from the late Zevo's casket sets the pace for the film's plot. It's serious but not too serious, I think you might say the plot is subtextually galvanized by the lack of thick, saccharine melodrama. It's poignant by way of its measured levity. Here are the two masks of Dionysus.

Nerd.
I don't know who Dionysus is. Right now I'm reading about Diogenes. He's an interesting fellow. Sounds like you'd know who I'm talking about.

Haha, I suppose I am a bit nerdy. Don't read too much of Diogenes lest you find yourself plucking chickens.

Beautiful song to one of the most imaginative movies I've ever seen. Michael Gambon and LL Cool J in particular were hilarious in this film.
