Tin Toy (1988)
Directed by John Lasseter
Babies are hardly monster-like, unless you're a toy. After escaping a drooling baby, Tinny realizes that he wants to be played with after all. But in the amount of time it takes him to discover this, the baby's attention moves on to other things only an infant could find interesting.

What critics compared Tin Toy to
A nightmare vision of toddlers from the point of view of their battered and beheaded playthings, that bit is an extended take on one of Pixar’s first shorts, 1988’s Tin Toy , but much better looking, of course, since the technology has improved so since then.
And yes, you could spend multiple viewings of Toy Story 2 looking for the inside jokes: Tour Guide Barbie (Jodi Benson) admonishing passengers bilingually a la Disneyland to "remain seated please" in a toy car; high-speed channel surfing including Pixar shorts like Tin Toy and Luxo Jr.; a toy repair expert (Jonathan Harris) whose face recycles the star of the Oscar-winning short Geri's Game; genial pokes at Tron, Jurassic Park and The Empire Strikes Back.
