During [[World War II]], a young boy is kidnapped by the Boogeyman and held hostage in the Dark, the Boogeyman's domain. A handful of brave toys venture into the Dark in order to save him. However, they need to fight hordes of bitter, vengeful, discarded toys who have every intention of serving the Boogeyman and no intention on letting the boy go. And apparently, the Dark turns everything into the [[Darker and Edgier]] version of itself, including our heroes.
 
It's pretty much ''[[The Book of Lost Things (Literature)|The Book of Lost Things]]'' meets [[Toy Story (franchise)|Toy Story]].
