The Incredible Crash Dummies (1993)
The animated short was entirely composed of computer generated imagery and centered on the adventures of Slick and Spin. A fellow Dummy named Ted has been chosen to use a new, indestructible torso module (Torso-9000), but his head is mixed up with an evil dummy's head, leading to the birth of Junkman. Slick and Spin try to free the kidnapped Dr. Zub from Junkman before the villain can extract the knowledge of how to mass-produce the torso.

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.
If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
Today, the Crash Dummies are probably best remembered as something of a nineties phenomenon. Back in 1992 when the popular line of toys from Tyco reached the height of its success, this animated made-for-TV short was produced. It originally aired on FOX TV, but it was later re-packed as a video to be sold with one of the action figures, which is, ultimately, how I acquired it.The Incredible Crash Dummies was one of the first computer animated movies ever made, and the graphics have held up surprisingly well. It's nowhere near the professional level of Pixar but it's not as wooden as one would expect either.The important thing is that this movie is fun. I probably haven't watched it since I was 9 or 10 but at least I know I enjoyed it at that age. It's not meant to be viewed by adults anyway. It's made with good innocent humor and it doesn't overstay its welcome. Anyone who loved the toys will probably like this movie.
