The
Mouse and his child are two parts of a single small wind-up toy, which must be
wound up by means of a key in the father's back. After having been unboxed,
they discover themselves in a toy shop where they befriend a toy elephant and
toy seal. The child mouse proposes staying at the shop to form a family, which
the other toys ridicule. After falling from a counter and becoming broken, they
are thrown in the trash. Outside, they become enslaved by Manny the Rat, who
runs a casino in the city dump and uses broken wind-up toys as his slave labor
force. With the aid of a psychic frog, the mice escape and meet various animal
characters on a quest of becoming free and independent "self-winding"
toys. They rediscover the elephant and seal, who are somewhat broken down, and
manage to form a family and destroy the rat empire.
